After Rachel and Natasha told their story about Demon Lord Kretos, Valdel kept on bothering them about what happened to the son after he became the demon lord . The two holy maidens told him that the only way they could tell him what happened is if he chooses to become the chosen hero of one of them .  

While that was happening Hilda finished reporting to the vice-guild leader and was appointed to lead the adventurers on the front lines when the undead army arrives . That position was supposed to be Nezzard"s but he"s currently asleep and no one knows how long he will be out . The vice-guild leader was the next possible candidate but he needed to handle other important work . That left them with no other choice but to choose Hilda the third highest-ranking adventurer in Grenton .  

Seeing as she had no choice in the matter, she reluctantly agreed . Once the talk was done, Hilda told Valdel that she would return home and prepare . She also told them that they should rest for as long as they could, for when the undead army arrives who knows when they"ll get to relax again .  

. . .

Hilda returned home and as usual upon entering the house she was greeted by her two adorable little sisters . Even though an undead army was coming, and most people within Grenton were either fleeing to the next town or s.h.i.+vering in fear at the corner of their houses, the two little girls before Hilda still had smiles on their faces .  

"Welcome home Big sis!" 
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
"Karla, Nina, what did I tell you about locking the door?" Hilda spoke with a serious tone while glaring at her two little sisters . This made the two little girls cower in fear .  

"We"re sorry Big sis!" The two spoke and bowed in unison . Hilda seeing her two little sisters trying their best not to cry, made her sigh . Hilda then hugged her little sisters .  Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

"It"s alright you two, I was just a bit agitated . The enemy is approaching and I"m not sure what will happen . " 

"Of course big sis will destroy all the monsters!" Nina spoke with pure faith in her sister .

"Yeah, big sis is the strongest!" Karla, on the other hand, answered full of pride . This made Hilda shake her head .  

"You two, do you remember what I said if you hear the ringing of the bells?" 

"We need to lock the door, and head straight to the bas.e.m.e.nt and chant the magic spell . " The two happily replied .

"That"s good, you need to do this properly and once you say the magic spell, I want you two to be brave little knights and protect mom . Can you do that for your big sis?" 

"Yes!" The two little girls smiled as they answered .  

"As expected of my adorable little sisters!" Hilda hugged the two girls tightly and then she took the sword on her waist and handed it to Karla .  

"Karla this is father"s sword which he used to protect this family, it then became my sword which I used to protect this family and rose through the ranks as an adventurer . Now it"s your sword, it"s your turn to be the protector of this family . " 


Karla was in a state of shock as she was handed the sword . She was overwhelmed by the numerous emotions that she couldn"t understand . She was confused but at the same time felt a sense of excitement .  

"I"ll do my best big sis! I"ll protect everyone!" Karla held onto the scabbard tightly .  

. . .

After eating a meal with her sisters and putting them to sleep, Hilda headed to the room upstairs . Upon entering the room, there in the bed, unmoving and unchanging, was her mother Elizabeth . She then started to clean her mother up and then fed her . After all that was done she sat beside her mother, the two of them didn"t speak a word . After a few more minutes of silence, Hilda spoke .  

"Mom, this might be the final time I speak with you . So I wanted to tell you something . . . I hate you, mom . . . Yet I love you as well . . . It"s such a complicated feeling for a daughter to have . Still, I hate you because of how weak you are, when we needed you the most you turn into this . "

"Not only did I hate you but, I was jealous of you as well . Unlike me, you were able to run away while I couldn"t . They were here, my sisters were here and they needed you, but they settled for me . Since you run away from your responsibility, I was forced to stay and pick it up . "

"To me, you became a burden, but I still take care of you and you know why? . . . It"s because I love you still . . . Even though you"re currently like this, that wasn"t always the case . You used to be my kind loving mother that gave me courage, that gave me life . "

Hilda had tears flow down through her cheeks as she continued speaking . The pain in her heart was slowly fading as she started laughing while crying . She then with her shaking hands held onto her mother"s hands and spoke with her voice trembling .

"I . . . I"m scared mom . . . I"m truly scared . . . There"s a chance that death will come for me, but I"m not ready . I haven"t experienced anything yet . I haven"t seen any of my dreams come to fruition . I wanted to find love, have a family, have children as you did . I wanted to restore our n.o.ble lineage! I wanted to see Karla and Nina grow up and become beautiful ladies . " 

Hilda squeezed onto her mother"s hands tighter .   

"I don"t want to die, mom, I"m so scared, so, so, scared . I want to live, I want to fulfill my dreams . . . I don"t want to die . . . Please even if it"s just one last time, please comfort me like you did back when father was alive . Please tell me that everything is going to be alright . . . Please give me strength for one last time . "

Even as her daughter pleaded and begged, Elizabeth remained silent and unmoving . Hilda didn"t care that there was no response, as she continued to cry until she fell asleep
