I come to the sacred fountain with Sonia.

The terrain leading up the stone staircase was wide open, and a circular spring was spreading out in front of her as if she were hidden in the forest.

At the back of the spring is a giant statue of a goddess with hands in front of her chest.

The space was full of silence.

"Let's get started."

Sonia took off the clothes she was wearing.The feathers fell down silently to the ground, and the white costume was unclean.

She was exposed to a strange appearance.

The blue light of the sun and moon above your head floats nudity into darkness.

You're not surprised.

Sonia said that looking at me.

"No, I'm surprised.I'm just not showing my emotions, "I said.He said, "It's been a great deal of grandeur."

"Not so naive as to be ashamed."

Sonia's body was useless and beautiful.

A tight chest.

Your hands and feet are as sharp as a blade.

Your body is tight and there is no extra meat.

Certainly there is only one thing to be proud of.

Under the moonlight, it had the mystery of an ice statue.

"You're so magnificent, you don't miss your eyes."

"I'm a guard. We can't let the princess go."

"Fufu. Sieg.You're a big guy, or you're a terrible skater. "

Sonia's mouth was delightfully broken.

"You're still good.I can't help but keep it as a guard.As a neighbor, you only want me to swear allegiance. "

"Her Royal Highness. I appreciate it...."

"Sonia is fine"

Huh?

"You don't have to call me Princess or Witch of Light."

That's right, Sonia said.

"From now on, call me by my name.I won't allow anyone else, but only you. "

"Thank you."

"Come on, call me."

"I understand.Dear Sonia, "

Okay.

Sonia smiles satisfactorily small.

"Burn my body into your eyes during the ritual.It's your privilege. "

While saying so pleasantly, he walked towards the fountain.

No, that's not what I meant...

In the presence of sacred rituals, such careless thoughts do not come to mind as much as bubbles.

I'm just watching over her ritual as a guard.I suppose she was joking about it, too.

When Sonia reached the water, she slowly touched her toes on the surface of the spring.When the white skin touched the boundaries of the blue spring, it melted quietly and blended together.

She stands in the center of the fountain.I was immersed in water up to the waist area.Draws a loose arch hanging from the constriction to the back.

…………

As Sonia meditates, she puts her hands together in front of her chest.

The figure of praying for the statue of the goddess was pure.

There is no cloudiness, starch, or excessive clutter.

There was only purity and righteousness.

Eventually, her body, devoting itself to prayer, began to glow with a faint light.Something like a particle of light rises from the bottom of the spring.

A flock of light rising up in the sky like fluorescence filled the holy fountain.

I took an unexpected breath at the fantastic sight.

Sonia looked back and looked straight at me.I was impressed by the light and the clear and honest eyes.

"I still have some leisure time until my body is full.In the meantime, I'll talk to you more than bored. "

If you don't mind, I'll go out with you.

"Very well, I like something loyal to me."

Sonia said she could put a little smile on her mouth.

"Sieg, I have one question for you."

What is it?

"Why can you risk your life to protect it?Me, the Witch of Light, the Orbs of Light, the people of the city.Are you driven by the cause of saving humanity?Or is it because it is a job?I'm interested in people like you. "

"That's...."

Reasons for risking your life to protect yourself.

It was when I tried to answer.

"I protect the orb of light because it is my mission."

That's what Sonia told me to take control of the plane.

"I was born with the blood of the Witch of Light, and I had no other choice.The way of life had been decided since birth.When I was brought into the convent as a child, I was trained for a long time to awaken the power of the Witch of Light. "

From the moment she was born, she was ordained to live as a witch of light.

Not as a Sonia, but as a princess, I am forced to live my life to fulfill my role as a witch of light to save humanity from the hands of the Devil King.

"Therefore, I have no desire to protect mankind.It's just what I've been doing because I have to. "

No, and Sonia denied her own words.

"Rather, I hate mankind.I just hope that the Devil King will be resurrected and the world destroyed. "

"Are you really saying that?

"I'm not a cheap woman enough to spit lies and attract people's attention.The words I say are true, not false. "

Sonia distorts her mouth and smiles blatantly.

"I told you because you're the only one here.That's why I can't tell anyone else about it. "

"Don't you think I'm going to leak it to someone else?

"You don't imitate such boring things.I've seen a lot of people so far.I know how much that is. "

Sonia said.

"The royals and nobles only think about protecting their privileges and enriching their own private stomachs.They're like shitty pigs.The junkies blame everyone else for their current environment, and they're just stupid enough to complain and not move anything.This non-King's Landing knows that our lives are spent maintaining the Devil's Seal, and we live in freedom by pushing all our roles here.Pretend not to look.... I don't think they deserve it very much. "

But she went on.

"I am the Witch of Light.I was born with a mission to protect humanity.Therefore, you cannot escape this role.Shit, it's not worth protecting - my life is spent protecting those who make that decision.But, Sieg, you're not.You are not as handicapped as I am.I have as many alternatives as I can find.Why are you risking your life to become a guard?

Hold tight.

Or pray.

"Sieg, answer me."

Sonia looked me straight in the eye.

"--Does the world deserve to be protected?Is it worth saving our lives?

Yes, I asked.

The usual temperament was nowhere to be seen.

She looked as if she was going to cry.

Like a cracked ice statue.

Touching it hard could shatter it to pieces.

"That's..."

And I spinned words.

Sonia must have lived with a conflict all along.

I was born with a mission to protect humanity.

And yet, is it worth protecting that human being?

Everyone thinks only of themselves, pretends not to see the weak and cuts them off.You're just a selfish fool.

I'm sure that's what she wants to ask me.

Am I in a dangerous guard position because it's my job?

Or is it because of its mission to protect mankind from the hands of the demons?

If it's the latter...

I wonder if this human being is worth protecting.

"I became a guard because I was banished from my party.This is what the Adventurers Guild did. "

I lost my job after being chased by Guren's fangs. I was introduced to the guards of the King's Landing by a receptionist from the Adventurers Guild.

"So, there was no sense of purpose.I get paid, so I try to work for it. "

That was all I had to do.

"Since I started working, I've also developed a sense of purpose.If I allow my enemies to invade, the Demon King may come back and the world may be in danger. "

But...

"I don't keep working as a guard anymore, or have a mission to protect humanity."

"So, for what?

"I just want to protect my loved ones.They are colleagues of the guards, former colleagues, and the people of the city. "

I told you.

"I hate people, too.There are a lot of things in my eyes.From the perspective of humanity as a whole, it is sometimes questionable whether it is worth protecting.But I have decided to protect humanity from the Devil's hands to protect my loved ones. "

If mankind is destroyed, there will be no one dear to me.

To protect my loved ones, I need to defend the Orb of Light from the incoming Demons.

That, in turn, leads to the protection of humanity as a whole.

"I see. Is it only human beings?That's an interesting idea. I never thought about it that way. "

Sonia, who seemed to have been thinking about it all along,

"Fufu. You're always beyond my imagination."

And now I was smiling pleasantly.

"Sieg, I have one more question for you."

"What is it?"

"Am I among those you want to protect?

"Of course."

"... even if the power of the Witch of Light disappears from me.Will you still risk your life to protect me?

Sonia asked me how she had changed.

I'm not a witch or a princess of light. I'm a Sonia.

"I will protect you. If that's what you want.Even if you risk your life. "

"... is that so?"

Sonia relieved her expression when she heard my words.

And when she smiled like a petal somewhere blown out, she said with a gentle voice with her hands on her chest.

"Then I pledge to protect humanity with my life.... Sieg. To protect you, my unsubstituted. "
