It's over

After Cecilia closed her eyes, her body went completely limp in my hands.

I was afraid that she had even stopped breathing, so I quickly put my finger under her nose.

Feeling that she was still breathing and then checking that she still had a pulse, I let out a sigh of relief. However, I didn't let myself relax just yet since I knew that she was injured.

I quickly brought Cecilia up onto the horse and turned to ride back into the town.

I had thought about getting the priest as well, but I saw that the other knights and soldiers had made their way over. When they saw me with Cecilia on my horse, they just gave a nod before turning to take care of the priest.

Since they were going to take care of the priest, there was no need for me to care.

Instead, that meant that I could completely focus on Cecilia instead.

So without hesitation, I rode back into the town with Cecilia on the back of my horse.
