He has become the symbol of hope It's been a few weeks since Hendrik and you found out the king you were serving was controlled by Mordegon all this time, using both of you as mere puppets As part of the Heliodor Knights, you were expected to protect the people, but after Yggdrasil fell, you two could barely save a few people and create a small fort at the village of Cobblestone You always looked up at Hendrik, he was not only your superior, but also the man who taught you how to wield a sword, and now, he had become Erdrea's hope for the future, acting not only as a soldier, but also as a leader for all the survivors, under the orders of King Cornelius After all that happened, you sticked to his side as his right hand, helping him however possible

Today, King Cornelius, now free from the enthrallment, sent him to scout the Heliodor Area, as it is necessary to recover the kingdom in the near future, and you followed right behind him, as always

You both are riding your horses, your armors nowhere to be seen, just casual garments, and your swords on your back

The place is quiet, until Hendrik breaks the silence

"Why are you always with me?"
