The Greatest Warlord

Unfolding Chaos 1

Veronica opens her eyes, finding herself lying in bed, wearing hospital pajamas, and feeling hurt all over her body. She remembers what happened and knows she is clearly responsible for immediately reporting her findings to the captain. But as soon as she sits up in bed, she finds the captain, Lysander Eryndor, sitting in a chair beside her.

Lysander smiled at her, asking how she was feeling after defending the shelter by herself from the giant cursed dolls. However, when she tried to remember what she had fought, her head ached as she recalled something she shouldn't have that day. A dark figure approaching, her memory blurred, and as she grasped the situation, Veronica collapsed.

Lysander then came to her side to check her condition.

"Veronica, what's wrong?"

She was feeling pain, but Lysander didn't see anything wrong with her body. He assumed it was only a headache from losing consciousness due to blood loss. Her eyes, head, and even her skin showed no anomalies. Her hands were warm and functioning normally, far from his worst fear.

"That's not it, captain... I... Just encountered something more terrible after I fought the giant doll." said Veronica while holding her head. "But I... can't remember what it was."

Hearing her words usually made people uneasy. Veronica was a cheerful girl who could withstand any hardship, no matter what it was; no horror could break her mental strength due to her positivity. But Lysander smiled, seemingly unfazed, and took her words calmly. Not because he thought she was lying or making fun of him, but because he believed Veronica would eventually overcome it.

"Well then, Veronica. No, my brave hero." Lysander then hold her hand, "Let's eat sweets together!"

Confused, Veronica smiled, her face turning red as she didn't know what to say after her captain's words. She laughed, returning to her usual self despite the strange memory loss. The captain smiled as well, laughing with her before standing up and extending his hand to help her out of bed.

"Sheeesh what are you even saying captain, I just awake from my unconscious state and now you want me to kidnap me from hospital." Veronica overjoyed.

"Oh, come on, you're not that weak are you. Sweets also refill your mind to get stronger again, right? You sweet monster."

"Calling your cute subordinate a monster is cruel, captain." Veronica then grabs her captain hand and stand, out from her bed. "Still, I'm glad you're my captain."

"You're welcome."

Veronica then spread her wings slightly, gently flapping them so as not to disturb the room. She looked at her captain with confidence, grateful that he trusted her abilities and understood her so well as one of his subordinates.

"Anyway captain, there's someone attack me other than the giant dolls I fought that makes me fell unconscious." Veronica said in full of confident and remember what she was couldn't before.

The captain smiled, gently patting her head and then her chin to show how proud he was of her. "Seems that our enemies have underestimate our Veronica here."

Great minds think alike. The captain of the elite knights, Lysander Eryndor, smiled along with his subordinate, Veronica. He helped cure her strange memory loss by improving her mental state with simple, encouraging words that boosted her dopamine levels. As a result, Veronica was able to push away her mental struggles through the happiness she received from her captain, gradually allowing her to remember what had happened. For Veronica, there's no greater medicine than happiness.

But as the captain walked towards the door, Veronica remained in place and smiled. The captain turned his head and looked at her face, "W-what's wrong, Veronica?"
