“Klau….hmmpp!”

Meriel recognized the owner of the voice.

She crawled as she tried to yell at his voice, who was looking for her, and Craig, who was watching her as she tried to run away, covered her mouth.

“Sshhhhh…”

Meriel struggled vehemently as he whispered in her ear. She didn’t eventually be able to flee if it wasn’t for the time being.

She would have died if Klaus hadn’t found her right now. She turned up to be a toy to play with if it weren’t for death.

Klaus’ voice, which was gradually fading, sounded sad.

‘I’m here, I’m here!’ she screams quietly.

It was a disaster.

There is someone right in front of her who can assist her.

There was someone right in front of her who could save her, but she couldn’t scream.

Even the strength didn’t enter the trembling body.

Craig kept her mouth shut because there was nothing she could do. All she could do was cry.

[ I will be your reason for living. ]

Meriel clenched her fists and closed her eyes tightly. He stated that he will give her a reason to live. He decided that he would be the reason she had to live.

So she couldn’t die in vain in this place right now.

She needed to get away from this creepy man.

“Awww..”

She tightly clutched his hand. He let out a small moan as she picked up a handful of twigs from the forest floor and tossed them back.

Meriel screamed with all her might through the gaps in his hands, which were temporarily freed.

“KLAUS!!!”

Her fearful voice trembled.

Meriel yelled his name over and over until her hair was snatched and her mouth became clogged once more.

‘Please.’

She’s hoping he heard what she said. May he be successful in his search for her. Mariel hoped with all her might.

May she be saved from this dreadful man.

“I guess he missed it.”

Craig leaned in close to her ear.

The sound of his voice whispering in her ear, combined with her tightly held hair, made her feel only cold.

She felt no emotion from him again, as if the emotion she had just felt was an illusion.

He had to be a human, but he was clearly a man, despite the fact that his entire body was cold.

“He doesn’t always show up to assist you.” Mocking her, he said.

Meriel gave a vigorous shake of her head. She refused him even when she couldn’t speak.

Craig lowered his head gradually, not expecting to hear an answer.

His breath landed on the other side of her neck, where he had left his mark.

He opened his mouth again, she sensed.

“Meriel!”

A razor-sharp dagger slashed through the air between them.

Craig, who was holding Meriel’s hair and body, was as far away as he had never been.

Klaus took advantage of Craig’s fall to save Meriel, who had fallen on the forest floor.

A warm hand wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

He was unconsciously displaying how desperately the sweat dripped down his chin along her brow. In contrast to Craig, his emotions have been clearly conveyed.

“Craig!”

Klaus yelled his name angrily.

Meriel could tell Klaus and Craig knew each other by the way they spoke the other’s name.

“I’m not overjoyed to see you, Klaus.”

“What did you mean by taking Meriel?”

“I just wanted to make friends. I was curious because you were married… Is that Meriel?”

“You wouldn’t be able to touch her fingertips.”

“I’ve already touched it.” Craig laughed and giggled.

Klaus clenched his teeth and tightened his grip on Meriel. Meriel hugged him without wiping away her tears.

“Do you believe you can get out of here?”

“If you want to die, try blocking it.”

“This…” He smirked and ducked behind the tree.

“It’s fine now because I already said hello.”

“……”

“And because the time hasn’t come yet.” His voice echoed through the air.

Klaus didn’t finish hearing what he was saying. He dashed away while holding Meriel.

He soon came across a tethered horse on a forest road. Klaus jumped both of them onto the horse and bolted.

“…Klaus.”

“Are you okay?”

“What took you so long?”

“sorry.”

“I was terrified.”

“…sorry.”

Meriel hugged him and gripped the hem of his robe.

Craig’s creepy voice and face kept coming to mind. The more she remembered his cold body temperature, the deeper Meriel dug into Klaus’ arms.

There was nothing wrong with her swaying mercilessly harsh words. Mariel was relieved just by his presence. Tears flowed again, but they weren’t the same as before.
