I Became a Guide For My Childhood Friend

gardless of her impure heart.

Cassian was bothered and apologetic, so he could have wanted to visit the cliff and show her around to lift her mood.

She didn’t want to misunderstand his intentions but she thought Cassian liked her enough to invite her on a date.

Why was he being nice to her and wanting to kiss her then?

Perhaps, he strictly thought of it as guidance and it was just something he could do with a friend.

“Yes, I like it.”

Her beating heart sank a little.

He didn’t like her and the fact made her a bit depressed.

“Close your eyes and get some sleep.”

“We’re going to sleep just like this?”

Cassian patted Yernia on the back and she looked him in the eye.

“What else can you do? If you roll over in your sleep, your head will split into two.”

“But——”

“It will be warmer for both of us if you hug me to sleep.
Do you want me to freeze?”

Was that a threat?

“Then, are you going to use me as a substitute for a bonfire?”  Yernia joked to erase her misunderstanding a while ago.

“Haha.
Just say yes, Yernia.”

The two had a chat before they went to bed.

Cassian wasn’t suited to be a major at all.

What’s wrong with him?

She didn’t think of him as that reliable since he was her mischievous childhood friend.

Nevertheless, she should still protect him at all costs.

Wasn’t it boring to hear his childhood friend——

The bonfire had already turned into small embers.

The next day, Yernia helped treat the injured.

She hadn’t thought about it on the first day because there was no time.

The Knight accompanied Yernia to another barracks.

A lot of wounded soldiers were gathered there for treatment.

Yernia felt nauseous when she caught a whiff of a terrible stench, but she tried not to show it in her countenance.

“Who are you?”

When Yernia hesitated to move forward, the Knight standing behind told him instead.
“She is Major Ricardo’s wife.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t know.
Please come in.”

When Yernia tried to enter the barracks, a big man blocked her immediately and the pressure was enormous.

The man was on guard as he gave her a strange look.

“What brings you here?” He asked curiously.

“I want to help.”

“Aren’t you the major’s wife?”

Since Cassian was doing his best as the commander of this military unit, Yernia might as well do something helpful as his wife.

Most of all, Yernia wanted to help the soldiers.

She wanted to help those who were suffering in this cold place even if it was just a bit.

“Do we have a shortage of nurses? It’ll take a lot of time to apply.
Let me help you before that.”
