"Durin, I need you to apologize to Lady Suthia for your words just now!" It was the first time Tamik had called Durin's name without adding "Captain" afterward.

A rare flash of anger appeared on the young knight's face. For Durin, for his master, Tamik could endure anything, except for Durin's blasphemy against the Goddess, an insult to his faith.

"Haha, what's this? Getting angry, feeling tough, want to come fight me? Alright, come on! Let me see if your Lady Goddess can give you the power to beat the shit out of me!"

As the tension between the two escalated, and their emotions spiraled out of control, when it seemed like the situation was about to worsen and head toward irreparable consequences...

The door to the hospital room was opened slightly, and a weak-looking golden-haired woman in a patient's gown walked out. She looked at the two knights who were already furious and shook her head gently, addressing the older one.

"Durin, please... don't be like this."

If there was anything that could make this knight drop everything instantly, it would only be his wife.

"S-Susan! Why did you come out? Damn it! It's all my fault. I must have woken you up with my shouting! Quickly, go back! The doctor said you shouldn't get out of bed yet!"

Susan didn't pay much attention to Durin's anxious words. Instead, the frail but still spirited golden-haired woman turned to the other person in the room.

"Tamic, I'm sorry. Regardless of what your captain said, I believe it must have been in anger. I apologize on behalf of Durin for what he said just now, and I apologize to Lady Suthia for his words."

Susan coughed at the end of her speech, and it was evident that she was not in good health. She had struggled to come to the door of the hospital room to stop the argument between the two.

"No, no, no, Sister Susan, it's my fault. Don't blame captain. It's me, I got too excited, and I understand too little. I couldn't grasp Captain Durin's words."

"I'm fine now. Please listen to Captain Durin and quickly go back to bed!"

Susan's status in Tamic's heart seemed to be slightly higher than Durin's, judging by the young knight's immediate cessation of all quarreling at the gentle words of the golden-haired woman. However, at the end of her speech...

"Susan, that was just a hallucination. You should..."

"That wasn't a hallucination, because... cough... actually, it's not the first time. Every time I had a relapse... I could see Lady Suthia. She enveloped me in holy light, and every time, she brought me back from the brink of death, saving me... cough."

"Susan..."

"Durin, do you remember how we met and fell in love? We met under the statue of the Goddess in the church. I still remember I was researching a paper at the time, and the title of my paper was... the love story between Lady Suthia and the Emperor. Cough... looking back now, I was so young back then. Even though it was so embarrassing and childish, I could really immerse myself in it."

"We used to meet every day at dusk to discuss my paper. I still vividly remember how you blushed and argued with me, saying that your Lady Goddess was pure and would never... fall in love. You also said that Lady Suthia would never like that Emperor. Cough... cough... cough..."

No matter how much she coughed, tortured by illness, Susan couldn't hide the beauty of her memories when she recalled the past.

"My real crush on you actually happened during our first date. Durin, I don't know if you remember, but back then, I dressed up carefully and waited for you at the agreed-upon place for over two hours. In the end, what I got was a knight with bandages on his hands, a disheveled appearance, and bloodstains on his clothes."

"You kept apologizing to me, saying that you suddenly received a report that a family's child had been abducted by human traffickers. After leading your team to rescue the child from the criminals' hands, you... remembered that you had a date with me. Hehehe... every time I think of that scene, I want to laugh... cough... cough... cough."

"Yeah, I was thinking at the time, 'Oh no, it's over, there's no hope anymore.' But then I couldn't believe you, you... " Durin was also caught up in Susan's words and shook his head while sighing.

"Uh-huh, I kissed you, Durin, because you don't know how dazzling you were in my eyes at that moment, how handsome you were. This is the Durin I like, the one who argues endlessly with me for the sake of defending the Goddess, the one who doesn't hesitate to put our first date aside to protect the people."

"I'm saying all this because I want to tell you, Durin, I've read many books and found out that before she met the Emperor, the Goddess was very fragile and incomplete. It was the Emperor who filled in some of the gaps in Lady Suthia. And now, five hundred years have passed, and the disappearance of the Emperor, I believe, will have quite an impact on the Goddess, just like if I were to disappear suddenly one day, how would you feel, Durin?"

"I can feel that the Goddess's power is waning day by day. Lady Suthia is struggling to support herself. At this moment, we shouldn't blame the Goddess, who can't protect us anymore, or expect her to cleanse evil for us. We should go and help the Goddess, just as the Emperor did back then. Cough... cough..."

"Don't say anymore, Susan, I... I..."

Actually, Durin understood all of this, but he was avoiding it.

The reason he was avoiding it was...

Susan's hand touched the knight captain's face, gliding over his cheek, over his beard.

"Durin, if one day, you must make a choice between faith and me, I hope you choose the former."

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Because that's the Durin I like, that's the Durin I truly love."

After saying this, Susan's eyelids began to droop. She had exhausted all her energy from speaking so much, and coupled with the effect of the medicine, her palm slipped down from Durin's face, powerless.

Susan turned her head to the side and fell into a deep sleep on the hospital bed.

Leaving behind the knight captain in the quiet intensive care unit, clenching his fists, wearing a struggling and bewildered expression on his face.
