Selena's voice suddenly tightened, "Where did you go?"
Where could be so busy that even Osvaldo couldn't spare the time to make a phone call?
For some unknown reason, Selena's heart suddenly started racing, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
The man on the other end of the phone seemed to sense her unusual mood and the words he had been planning to say for a long time suddenly could not be spoken.
For a long time, the man seemed to suppress some emotion and said gently, "Go to sleep, I'll be back soon."
Selena breathed a sigh of relief in an instant and smiled, "Okay."
After a pause, she said a little aggrievedly, "I miss you, please come back early."
Osvaldo responded with a soft "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Selena realized that she had been extremely tense.
She turned her head to look at the rainy night outside the floor-to-ceiling windows and unconsciously clenched her fingers.
Where exactly had Osvaldo gone?
...
In the distant Federal Empire, the rain was pouring down as well.
A man dressed in black slowly put down his phone and raised his deep black eyes to look straight ahead.
In front of him were rows and rows of tall and cold tombstones, almost too numerous to count.
This was the Martyrs Cemetery of the Federal Empire.
Eight months ago, in the battle of the Federation, all the fallen martyrs were buried here, including the most beautiful phoenix of the Empire.
The steps made of white marble, the black marble platform, and the Bloodstained Thornbird Flag... all that was left of the girl who had just turned eighteen.
The man had been standing here all day, and his tall and slender figure had almost solidified into a statue. In the darkness, no one could see the expression on his face, but they could feel the fearful and sad emotion floating in the cold air.
The rain was like stones, striking the umbrella with a clattering sound, as if it could pierce through the darkness and hit the tip of one's heart at any moment.
After a long time, the man finally moved.
He gave a heavy look at the weeping Thornbird Flag, turned around, and tore open a gap in the darkness with the flapping of his large windbreaker, walking out of the cemetery.
A cold voice pierced the darkness and echoed throughout the entire Martyrs Cemetery.
"Go back!"
...
"You killed the girl that Talon loved the most... shouldn't you die?!" With this fiercely hateful question, Dominic froze in place.
Everything around him seemed to have vanished in an instant, and all that remained in his mind was this question that had seeped into his soul.
He had killed the girl that Talon loved the most, so that was why Talon hated him so much...
The girl that Talon loved the most was...
Dominic's eyes widened in an instant.
Perhaps it was a premonition, or perhaps it was fear, but after Talon spoke these words, Dominic vehemently denied them without hesitation.
"No no no! I didn't do it! I didn't!!"
Talon looked at him with a face full of the expression of wanting to escape from guilt and reality. His eyes were even colder, "You killed Lady Selena, who loved you the most in this world, with your own hands. Tell me, do you deserve to die?!"
Dominic covered his ears and shook violently. He panickedly shook his head, but tears had already started flowing uncontrollably. "I didn't do it!"
"Selena is clearly alive and well. I saw her on the live broadcast today. Talon, are you blind? Didn't you see it?"
