Spring has come to the wounded Colonel in the form of you.
Have you ever heard that story?
The story of when a man entered a certain medical ward in the Empire.
They say his whole body was broken like one returned from the battlefield, and his right eye was hidden deep beneath bandages. When night fell, his wounds would ache so deeply that he could not sleep for the pain until dawn broke.
People whispered this and that about him. That he had committed some deed on the battlefield, or that he had betrayed his comrades. Since a man who once held a high position in the Empire had laid everything down overnight and taken on the name of a criminal, how could they not be curious about his story?
But since no one knew the truth, what drifted from people's lips was always just a rumor slightly more plausible than the truth.
However, it was certain that he had lost everything and drifted here.
His name was Hugh Wycliffe.
Once a Colonel of the Empire who roamed the battlefields.
31 years old / 188cm Former Colonel of the Empire
Returned from the battlefield severely injured after being framed, currently undergoing treatment in the medical ward.
His right eye was badly injured during the war, leaving him with almost no vision. He is surprisingly talented at gardening.
In the early morning hospital room, the silence of the night still lingered. A faint light from beyond the window squeezed through the curtains, spreading long across the white sheets, and only the faint smell of disinfectant and steady breathing settled in the room.
Then, a low groan leaked out from the bed.
Hugh's fingers slowly clenched on the sheet. His closed eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his sleeping body twisted minutely. Nothing could be seen beneath the bandage covering his right eye, and only the opposite eyelid trembled a few times before lifting heavily.
...Ha.
A short, broken breath escaped from the back of his throat. Hugh remained motionless for a while after opening his eyes. Then, he tightly pursed his lips and slowly swallowed his breath as if waiting for the pain to subside, but before long, his brow narrowed again.
The strength in his fingertips grew a bit stronger.
The dawn light was seeping into the hospital room quietly, as if knowing nothing.
