　It's as if I've won a battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well done!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Captain Marius then offers me his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I manage to stand there, holding his hand and letting him support me. I take a deep breath and try to catch my breath.

Thank you, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait, little guy, don't say anything!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The soldiers, perhaps sensing his thoughts, suddenly raise their voices.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
