Faithfulness

At night under a bright full moon, someone visited the house where Flora and Florine lived who came with a letter in Ymir's handwriting.

That person, Mikhail Rodigro who claims to be a Saint, is being interrogated by Flora as Florine's 'mother', who has the same characteristics as the girl Mikhail is looking for.

"So, what brings you here besides this letter?" - Flora

"That's... because a Saint's job is to protect people who need help. As you can read, in the letter a person named Krista wants to protect her daughter who is in danger. Along with it, a map was attached, and it led me here." - Mikhail

"A map? Really? She gave someone else the map while I had to look?" - Flora

"Then, behind the map there was a sentence that said 'He already knows'. Underneath there is a small sentence that says Flow." - Mikhail

“Flow? If I remember, that word also means flower and my and Florine's names have the same meaning, namely flower. There's only one thing I understand from the sentence 'he already knows', maybe she wants to tell me that... His Majesty already knows the secret. Since he already know, it's dangerous to leave Florine with me who is just an ordinary woman with no power. Therefore, is that why she sent this guy? If that was true... then Florine had to go with him for her safety. I understand. But... you really are a Saint, right?" - Flora

"Of course, I can prove it if you want." - Mikhail

"I don't need proof, but if you're true Saint. Swear to your God that you will take good care of that girl, don't let anything happen to her." - Flora

"That's for sure, with my life. I will protect her, I won't let her get hurt or even be touched by other people without her permission." - Mikhail

"Okay, so when are you leaving?" - Flora

"Whenever you're ready. We Saints are blessed with advantages, mine is transportation. That's why, after receiving the letter I immediately teleported here." - Mikhail

"Is that so? Well then, let's go tonight too. For me, safety is the most important thing. I'll clean up, you can prepare yourself while I get ready." - Flora

"Okay." - Mikhail

...****************...

"Are you ready?" - Mikhail

"That's it, this girl too." - Flora

"Okay, we'll be on our way." - Mikhail

Flora smiled faintly, and the two of them disappeared from there. When Flora opened her eyes, she was shocked to find herself in the main hall of the Kingdom of Eldia.

"I have brought her, Your Majesty." - Mikhail

"What does this mean, Mr. Mikhail?" - Flora

"I'm just doing my job." - Mikhail

"Is that so? If only you knew, that the real Saint had come to that house." - Flora

"What?! You dare trick me?" - Mikhail

"Weren't you the one who deceived me? You're too stupid to say that sentence. The writing may have been Ymir's, but it could have been someone threatening her. Isn't that right, Your Majesty?" - Flora

"Hoho, it turns out you're quite smart, huh. Therefore, you brought a doll and sent the child away with the real Saint. To think that a lowly servant like you could know such great things. Now tell me, where is the child?" - Fritz

"Even if I die, I won't tell you where she is." - Flora

"Okay, if that's what you want, finish her off. You guys, go and look for the girl with silver hair and blue eyes until you get it." - Fritz

"Understood, Your Majesty!"

"Florine... I'm sorry. If I die... I only have one wish... I just hope you're safe wherever you are. Ymir... your daughter is safe..." - Flora

A royal knight approached and beheaded Flora.

...****************...

Flora, a simple village girl, the daughter of a merchant, has lived as a servant since she was a teenager.

Today, Flora has shown her loyalty to her master. In order to protect Florine, she was willing to risk her life for her.

Her death may be meaningless to the public, but her death was the first stepping stone for Florine to achieve Ymir's dream.

Flora's dream was to be free from Fritz's shackles, and with her death, she was freed from those shackles forever.
