Hero of Darkness

harge of the envoy Kahn ordered the generals to escort the people and offer some refreshments while surrounded by many watchful eyes.

As for himself he escorted Kassandra to the main garden and they both had some space to talk.

”How are you feeling now? ” asked Kahn.

”Good enough to get by.
I will need more time I think. ” replied Kassandra as she still seemed exhausted.

”I see.
Well I ’m sorry for your loss.

And I ’ve already reported to your clan ’s envoy how big of a part you played or how you mortally wounded it to avenge your cousin.

No one is going to blame you for it.
So it ’d be best if you didn ’t let it weigh down on your mind. ” he spoke.

Kahn understood that although Kassandra seemed to be acting okay unlike a loner like himself; she was someone with a family and friends.
So she was naturally heartbroken but chose to not show her pain in front of a stranger like him.

And he did not intend to pry.

”I guess this is the last time we will be seeing each other.
I hope you have a great life ahead. ” spoke Kahn in an honest tone as they both slowly walked into the wide garden full of mesmerizing greenery and fragrant flowers.

Kassandra ’s ears perked as her intuition kicked in.

”Why do you sound as if you ’re going to die soon? ” she asked with a curious gaze.

”It ’s nothing serious.
Just that it feels like we didn ’t get enough time to talk properly. ” said Kahn as he averted his eyes.

”Hey you ’re acting weird all of a sudden. ” said Kassandra with a suspicious gaze.

But unlike her Kahn already knew what was going to happen soon.

The once most talented and the no.
1 prodigy of the Rakos Empire was going to lose even her ability to use magic.
Soon, her rank and all of her skills were going to disappear as the mana inside her body completely disappeared.

By Armin ’s estimation it would take at least a couple of months and then the Raven Sorceress whom he too had come to admire would be nothing but a thing of the past in this world where only one ’s strength mattered.

Although he knew about it Kahn just couldn ’t tell the truth about how he saved her in order to repay her because Kahn was alive at this moment due to her actions.

Even if she would get to live the price she had to pay was as good as being paraplegic for the rest of her life.

Kahn didn ’t want to be the one to crumble her world right after she had lost a close family member.

The slow walk he was sharing with her at this moment would probably be the last time they ’d meet as nothing but a tragic fate awaited Kassandra.
A fate that none of them could change even if they wanted to.

As the afternoon came, Kahn bid farewell to Kassandra…

The woman who made his heart flutter for the first time.
The woman who saved his life without thinking about her own just because she felt like it was the right thing to do.

And because of the cruel fate; soon she was going to watch

Her world fall apart.
