Summary
“To the desert, go to Tatima.”
Following her grandmother’s last words, Sophie left the forest cabin for the first time—and the outside world was far more frightening than anything she’d read in books.
“…You’re really not a mage hunter, right?”
“I am not.”
“Then why are you going this far to help me?”
The man, who introduced himself as a traveller occasionally working as a mercenary to save money, seemed to be hiding something.
But Sophie couldn’t bring herself to ask more.
“…I owe the mages a debt.”
So instead of questioning him, Sophie just nodded silently.
“Then it’s settled—we’ll go together.”
The road to the desert.
Will Sophie be able to reach the desert safely, as her grandmother wished?
***
“From today, I have become your knight.”
It was the knight’s vow.
Their joined hands burned as if all his warmth had transferred to her.
“My light, my darkness, my world, my master.”
“…”
“I give myself to you.”
Ethan’s lips touched the back of Sophie’s hand.
A kiss to seal the final words of the brief oath.
It was a dark yet radiant dawn, as if stars were about to pour down from the sky.
