gentle and affectionate

Chapter 41.

The first story is about me and Fay.

I haven't told a story for many years, and I'm not used to picking it up suddenly; if I want to start from the beginning, I don't know where the beginning is... However, I always remember that there must be a theme before the story.

But it caused a new entanglement, what should it be?Now that everything has not been explained clearly, it seems strange to mention the name "Fay" and me together.But the fact is that, when I looked at the real owner of this name, and thought that I was still a child when we separated, I felt that at the beginning of this story, there should be no escape from a theme——

childhood.

When you think of childhood, what do you think of?

As the best time for the beginning of life, no matter the naughty childhood of Cheng Huan’s parents’ knees, or the laughter in the yard during the holidays… If you do this, you will probably get bored. Tired of these things are so clichéd, so clichéd that almost anyone Everyone can have memory.

Those ordinary things that can be seen everywhere are absolutely impossible to belong to us.

So if, if we really want to give a summary of everything about us, it will probably be a life that does not belong to us.

……

At first, even the name wasn't mine.

When my foster mother-in-law heard our name, I didn't know that other people's children had parents.Although I was also told that these two names were written by my father before his death, I did not feel too much sadness, probably because I have never met my parents, so everything sounds a bit vain.

At the very beginning of my memory, it was the way my mother-in-law patiently fed us.

Originally, according to my father's intention, the one named Fay should be the elder brother, but my mother-in-law said that she was not there when we were born, and the child who lost his mother was mixed up and mixed up in the infancy, and it was hard to tell which one It was the first to come out, and the mother-in-law thought that it was just a matter of front and back anyway, so she saved this little bit of age care, and we called each other by their first names.

Although we were born as twins without distinction of size and appearance are very similar, but for some reason, our personalities are very different.When I was a child, I always ate a lot, so I was slightly stronger than Fay, and I even rejected Fay's proposal to call him brother.Perhaps because of this, my temper is also much more lively than the quiet Fay, so he was always scolded for eating too little, and I was lazy and didn't study magic well.

However, whenever we are scolded, no one will argue about the size or anything. The two of us huddle together and cry, and then we are coaxed by the helpless mother-in-law together... When I was young, I didn’t understand that those scoldings were all because my mother-in-law loved us so much. To the point of loving us as their own children, for fear that we are not strong enough, or that we will be bullied outside.

Later, when I was a little older, I also asked my mother-in-law about the whereabouts of our parents, but what I got in return was a sigh from my mother-in-law, and then I stared blankly at the portrait my mother-in-law took out from the bottom of the cabinet. blonde woman.

"You... you really look like a princess..."

Later, we learned that it was our mother, and our mother was the princess of a neighboring country.

"Mother-in-law..."

"Ok?"

"Why don't you hang up your mother's portrait?"

……

"Mother-in-law..."

"Why can't we go out?"

……

"Why don't our parents want us..."

"Are we leaving again?"

……

When I was young, I always pestered my mother-in-law to ask such and such questions.Lying by the window and watching the children running around in the snow made us so envious that we almost ran out immediately, but Fay and I tried our best to hold back and just lay side by side by the window, watching the children outdoors We happily built snowmen and had snowball fights. The snow fell heavily that day. Fay and I felt itchy in our hearts. As our magic became more sophisticated every day, we couldn't help but use magic to turn the whole house into an igloo.

As our beautiful blue lights circled and danced in the house, we finally got our wish.

We were frolicking in the snow created by magic, so when the mother-in-law who was anxious to rush back opened the door and entered, we were all scared to get up and stand up. The mother-in-law hugged each other in her arms.

No matter how hard or tired the mother-in-law never complained, it seemed that all the sadness in her heart broke out that day.

That night, my mother-in-law took us away again.

A few days later, when we arrived at a new place, my mother-in-law got into a row with Fay and me who were clamoring for dinner.Before leaving, she told us not to use magic anymore. We, who were only six years old, nodded ignorantly, but obeyed obediently.

However, we were still discovered.

Increasingly powerful magic has revealed where we are.Soldiers who are good at hiding their aura followed my mother-in-law and followed her all the way here, just to find our two fugitive princes... Between the shining sharp knives and the cold eyes of the soldiers, we realized that our father is from this country My younger brother, who knew that his parents had already passed away, knew that the reason why her mother-in-law did not hang up her mother's portrait was because she had already become a taboo in this country.

——Because, gave birth to us.

We had to give up all resistance, because the mother-in-law was controlled by magic, and was held to the throat with a knife in the hands of the cruel soldier, but the mother-in-law seemed to turn a blind eye and just stared at us.

In just a few days, we saw my mother-in-law in tears for the second time.

……

After that, we never saw the person who raised us again, and even her appearance gradually faded away in the years of washing.

And after that... We were brought back to the palace that we never had before in our memory, the place where we were born and where it all started.

That day, I saw a lot of people, Fay and I had never seen so many people, the whole hall was full, but when we walked over, the crowd suddenly split a big hole, then There were so many people, none of them stood in the center, but spread out far away, leaving us with a large blank space in the hall.

In a blank space, Fay and I stood in the center of the hall hand in hand, waiting for the coming king to judge us.The people who came to watch the court were hiding far away, their faces could not be seen clearly, but the voice of discussion was very clear.

"Everyone in our country of Farelia is obviously looking forward to it!"

"Even the emperor is looking forward to the birth of the emperor's son!"

"But why, are they twins?"

"The emperor passed away due to a sudden illness."

"Twins are indeed a bad omen!"

"Crops can't grow."

"The water has become dirty."

"My brother's concubine insisted on exchanging her life to give birth to twin princes, so that caused misfortune."

……

Counting down one by one are all our sins, but those seem too nihilistic to us young.Regardless of the death of our parents who have never met, or the bad luck of successive years of natural disasters, we are ignorant standing in the center of the temple, and even if we don't understand how these disasters have anything to do with us, we have committed a heinous crime.

Since then we have understood that a thing, as long as everyone thinks so, will become true.

No matter what we think, in everyone's eyes, we shouldn't be born, so according to common sense, even if we are killed, there is nothing wrong with it; but now thinking about it, it might be good to kill us at that time, That way we don't have to go through all the things that happened later, we go to heaven as soon as possible and become brothers in the next life, that's all.

We didn't die, but someone said, "If we kill them, it will cause greater misfortune."

Then, the pair of twins who are the source of the disaster, who have committed a heinous crime, will bring misfortune to the country, neither can let us live well, let alone kill us...

The answer is simple.

It is to make our life worse than death.

In the isolation and helplessness, no one is even willing to look us in the eye, and the moment of judgment has come.The man who was supposed to be our uncle sat on the supreme throne, his gorgeous robes proclaimed his supreme power, and he stated our sins in an almost icy tone.

"Unfortunate twins, will be imprisoned."

"Bearing all the misfortunes, sealing misfortunes in your body... It is misfortune to be twins, it is misfortune to live long because of powerful magic power, and it is misfortune to be born."

"The less fortunate the twins, the better the country will be and the people will be happier."

"This is, curse."

The king's words echoed in the hall, and the cursing of the people became joyful discussions, full of hope.

Just ignore that hope is based on our despair.

When we were young, we understood the cruelty of the world early on.When we were young, we were powerless to resist, and we couldn't fully understand the scene in front of us. We only knew that there was no one here who loved us.

"Take the twins to different places, to the valley where magic cannot take effect, to the valley where time flows differently, one is superior,"

"One next,"

"Twins, alive, suffer misfortune,"

"It is the good fortune of all people!"

"The valley is the burial place of sinners. There is no cemetery for sinners to rest in. They will not rot there, but will maintain the state when they were abandoned, and will exist there forever. That is the fate of sinners..."

"That's the most damned place in the country, and your twins just 'go on' there."

"Choose-"

If you don't want to—

Then one of you kills the other.

... I think there is probably no more vicious spell in this world.

It is said that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. When we are young, we don’t know what to be afraid of. We have survived the days of ups and downs. We thought that as long as we have each other, there is nothing we can’t overcome.So at that time, we who lived in a world with only each other knew that we could not lose each other, because the other was our other self.

So we held each other's hands tightly.

We have been together since the mother's belly, taken away by the mother-in-law, and grew up together until today. There have always been only the three of us in the world. Now that the mother-in-law is gone, we only have each other left.

So we promise each other—

Never separate.

Never forsake another.

……

However, how can the right to choose be in our hands?

The hands that had been clasped tightly before the forced separation became the last oath between me and him.At that time, we didn't know that what happened next would be the beginning of the real tragedy.

When I opened my eyes again, my eyes were already covered with white snow. I was lying in the snow in my single clothes, next to the dead body.At the bottom of the cursed valley, the ground is covered with snow, the sky is freezing, and there is no living person around.

What's more, Fey wasn't around.

I walked around in a panic, and there was no one alive anywhere.The age of the corpse is unclear because it does not rot, only dry and frozen limbs, and a peaceful or hideous face of death can be seen.

The sky above the head is circled by deep valleys, but even this small piece of sky is gray and white, without a vast expanse of clear blue.I don't know who said that there is actually no difference between complete white and complete darkness, because the eyes have lost their function.

The only thing that is not white is the tall tower that cannot be seen from the top.

In the valley where the magic failed, I stood under the tower and looked up desperately, but I couldn't see the top of the tower for many years.

But I know that my dearest relative, my twin brother, is there.

— Fay, there.

He exists with me in the place nearest and farthest from me, and the mere knowledge of it gradually restores hope to me.

I want to find you.

"Fay-"

I started an endless climb.But the smooth stone bricks are difficult to find a foothold, the tower wall is almost straight up and down, and the top of the tower is invisible, and there is no way a seven-year-old young body is enough to conquer it.I slipped down after climbing a few steps, and then climbed again, even if it was only a stone brick more than the last time, it was enough for me to continue with confidence.

"Fay-"

"Fay-"

"Fay-"

I shouted his name loudly, but there was no response, only the echo echoed in the valley, knocking on my heart one by one.But I know he can hear; my hands are bloody, I have no feeling when I step on the snow with bare feet, and climbing has almost become a mechanical movement, but I can't be overwhelmed by fear, because I have to abide by the agreement, and because I believe in him.

Because I thought, as long as I can find him, I don't have to be afraid of anything.

As long as the two of us are together, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, we can hold hands and go through together.

"Fay-"

"Get out of here!"

"As long as we leave, we can use the magic power!"

"They said that when we grow up, we will have the magic power beyond the emperor! Then we can go to other countries!"

"Let's leave! Let's leave together!"

Fay has always been afraid of the dark, so I have been questioning why the person locked in the tower is not me... Feeling sorry for Fay who was confined in the dark room, and at the same time angry at those who framed us, I climbed up and down the tower again and again. Stone walls, piled corpses into hills, even if you step on someone else's corpse, you have to find him.

Take Fay out of here, out of this country, and live a happier life than anyone else.

But when I slipped down from the tower wall again and again, when scratches and frostbite tormented me, and when corpses fell from the sky again and again, I gradually rejoiced that I was here...in order not to let him Worried about me, I said these hopeful words to him over and over again, thinking it would reassure him even a little bit.

What I told him was not for myself.

It's not that I didn't walk around the tower in the snow, and extinguished the last trace of confidence in finding a way to climb the tower, leaving only a more tired body... until the last and finally returned to the original point, looking at the ground seemed to be denser again Dead corpse, I am glad again that the person here is me.

Fay, wait for me a little longer, and I will definitely go find you.

……

At this moment, many corpses suddenly fell from the sky.

The day and night valley makes people have no concept of time, only knowing that the hair has grown beyond the shoulders unknowingly.In such years and months, I have been unable to perceive how long or short the time is from retching from fear to sadness to habit in the face of dead bodies. The only thing I know is that there are so many dead bodies of sinners that I am almost numb.

I must be a very cold-blooded person, and I got used to these things in order to keep my mind normal. Thinking about it this way, I might become a murderer in the future... But even if I am like this, I have never seen this thing in front of me. Vice scene.

——Hundreds of national corpses fell from the sky, like a doomsday rain.

I was horrified to find that this was not a dream. I watched the life that might have just been alive and fell from the sky mixed with the heavy snow. My hope suddenly turned into anxiety, but this scene continued, continued, until the body was covered with valley.

Are these... all sinners?

But many of them did not wear the clothes of sinners, and their numbers were frightening.At the feet was the corpse of a young woman. The mother fell asleep forever in the posture of protecting the child, but the new life in her arms finally died.

This is a place full of undead, an execution ground where sinners are buried... But even if Fay and I were relegated here because we caused misfortune, what crime could the skinny old man and the infant child commit?

What could be wrong with a pure soul that opens up life and enjoys its old age?

Something must have happened to Farrelia.

I will definitely go to Fay, but that is not something that can be done right now.Seeing thousands of people die in vain, if we still remain indifferent, will Fay and I really become "unfortunate twins"?For many years, although our brothers have been in a bad situation, how could we survive today without the help of my mother-in-law and the kind people along the way?

I am not a good person, but I know how to be grateful.

It is difficult for Fay to leave the tower for a while, but if I can climb out of the valley along the stone wall in the valley, maybe I can add a little help to the safety of the people of Farelia.

Maybe then, Fay and I can live a dignified life.

According to the accumulated method of climbing the tower, I found a slightly higher mound and piled up the snow and corpses... I apologized to the undead over and over again in my heart, because I was too despicable to try to escape with the corpse of others .I stepped on their bodies, climbed to a high place, and then climbed along the stone wall with my callused hands.

When my thirst reached the limit, I went to lick the snow on the wall. It was even colder, and I didn't dare to give up.Because I am afraid that once I give up, there is really nothing I can do.

If the two of us could do something for the people of this country... I would...

My foot slipped, and I had no choice but to fall back to the pile of corpses, and when I turned around, I saw a person dressed as a guard fell to the ground.Then, a roll of silk books in his hand caught my attention.

It was the imperial edict.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart, I swallowed the pitifully small amount of saliva, and stumbled over to pick up the silk.

When I unfolded it, I felt that the surrounding air was stagnant.

"The emperor of Falelia...has gone mad?!"

The handwriting on the precious silk is somewhat scribbled, and the author's haste can be seen between the lines——

The Emperor of Farelia is mad.

No one can stop the crime of killing innocent people.

Please send troops from neighboring countries.

All these disasters are all due to the birth of twin princes in our country.

……

All because of...unfortunate twins...

This...how is this possible...

how can that be possible? !

Why do these disasters have to be borne by us?Why push everything on us?Obviously we didn't do anything, we didn't do anything!

How can you push it all to us?

I was almost insane, and climbed the vertical stone wall again.I swear I'll find out, I'll save the rest of this country, I'll tell them the truth—

Twins have no misfortunes!

We are not wrong!

……

Even if there is a mistake, just blame it on me alone, don't do that to Fay.

In the wind and snow that is fading away, I can see the prison window on the top of the tower, and I have more fighting spirit.Fayi is so kind, it must be heartbreaking to see such a scene, maybe he is calling my name in the dark, I can't hear it, but I know it.

Because in this world, we are the closest people.

As for me... how should I put it, actually this time I really climbed very high, unexpectedly, it was as if Shibi also knew my determination.Regardless of the bloody hands that were scratched again, I almost crawled excitedly, because just thinking that climbing up would allow me and Fay to have a future, my heart screamed excitedly.

"Faye, wait for me..."

But failure is always used to make people lament fate.

The black shadow that appeared above ruined all hope, and fear was not enough to describe my mood at that time. I only knew that the black shadow fell from directly above me and smashed me back to the bottom of the valley mercilessly.

At the same time, my life finally hit rock bottom.

The body that fell was still alive, and the gorgeous robe was stained with blood, shaking in the snow, making him extremely dizzy.The frightening thing was that the figure of that person was so familiar, before I had time to think about it, I looked up to see a terrifying face.

——It was a snarling face with hollow eyes.

The face of King Farelia.

That's...the face that sent us to this life-or-death situation.

"what--!!"

All the fears of being imprisoned for many years seemed to explode at this moment. I couldn't help but fell to the ground and looked at the king who was crawling not far away.

The king's fine clothes are in tatters, stained with the blood of countless compatriots.He fell in the snow, still trying to get up while bracing himself with his sword.

I was almost immobilized by fear, and moved back in vain, trying to back away, at least from the face he was staring at me; but the king's voice sounded unexpectedly, forcing everything into in my mind.

His voice was hoarse and dry, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

"everything……"

"It's all the misfortune caused by your twins..."

"Your birth is... the beginning of misfortune."

"Right now... only you and me are left alive in this country..."

Every word pierced my heart like a sharp arrow, the valley was silent, and I heard Fay's cries all of a sudden, but I didn't have the strength to respond to him.

The king struggled to his feet and picked up the supreme king's sword, which was stained with the blood of his countrymen.

"Next..."

"This is the end..."

……

I thought I was going to die, so I didn't expect to see blood sprayed.

I stared blankly, the uncle who had never looked at us, the proud king of Farelia, cut Ziyi's throat with a long sword.

Then, the last sentence he left was——

"Live it."

"To atone for sin...to live."

To atone, live.

—Killed his biological parents.

——caused successive years of natural disasters.

——The emperor lost his mind and slaughtered the people.

— Unfortunate from birth.

We... are the source of all misfortune...

……

I tightly covered my ears, but I couldn't stop the curse words from circling in my mind.

It's just being born... Is there a crime in that?

As twins, they're just born together... just born...

- In this way, is there a crime?

Will the same thing happen even if I go to other countries?

Will even unrelated people die because of our misfortune...

Just the two of us together...

just live...

Are you still going to die?

only……

"It's just living——!"

Is it a crime to just live?

……

The moment I completely collapsed, I collapsed powerlessly in the snow.

Blizzard went underground as always, buried an incorruptible body, but could never cover up his sins.His whole body was as cold as if he had been frozen, even his dry lips did not want to be moistened with snow water, his limbs were numb, only his heart was pounding.

Cursing and blame lingering.Open your eyes, look at Bai Xue, you can see the scene of the day when the king committed suicide, close your eyes, and see Fay who clasped hands with me and made an oath when I was imprisoned, thinking of what I told him to protect him Promise, but now there is only one sentence "I'm sorry".

I'm sorry, I'm such a coward, I don't know how to get you out.

Because even if you go out, where can you go?You and I don't want to hurt others anymore, right?

The whole world is so big that there is no room for the two of us.

I lay in the snow thinking and thinking, thinking of despair, and thinking again... It is difficult to fulfill the promise of Fai's happiness, and even my parents and people are killed by us, just like this, it is a sin to open and close your eyes Surrounded by me, I have been thinking about it for an unknown amount of time in the wind and snow. It has been so long that my body has become so thin that it is a dead branch that is about to be turned into ashes. It has been so long that my shoulder-length hair has grown longer than my body. I keep praying, praying for hope. advent.

I don't know how many years have passed, and I heard human voices in my ears again, and I subconsciously thought it was still a dream.The voice heard again in despair can make people ecstatic, but I forgot that in this world, there will always be greater despair than despair.

But at that time, I still wanted to grab this life-saving straw, opened my eyes, and looked at the crack on the stone wall.

"Want to get out of here?"

At that time, I was already in a trance, and I struggled to sit up from the ground. Only after I collected myself did I feel that this was not a dream.

But what if it's not a dream?

"Impossible... No one can come here, except the corpse."

I murmured, even if the corpse is already covered with snow, it cannot cover our misfortune.

"That's the rule of this country."

"But... the twins in the neighboring country also..."

"That's the rule of this world."

this world?

I froze, and the man looked at me and smiled.

"There are other worlds," the man laughed. "This is a valley where magic cannot take effect. However, my body is in a different world with different dimensions, so it will not be affected."

"Do you want to leave... here?"

He asked again, then looked at me as if waiting for my answer.

I--

Of course I would.

Dream about it.

No one will not hold on to the helping hand stretched out in despair.I thought that the grievances between me and Fay could not be clarified in this life, and I thought that we would be separated like this until we both died. At this time, the hope that appeared at this time, even if it was a dream, I wanted to grasp it.

I……

"I want to leave... If there is another world, I want to leave, and then, be with him..."

I spoke almost eagerly, almost incoherently.Joy almost flowed all over the body. We who have been sentenced to death thought that there was no hope, but now...now there is a chance to...

"Let me make your wish come true!"

Then, someone poured a basin of ice water over his head.

"However, there is only one person who can leave."

Only one person...?

—Choose, is it you, or someone else?

Later, the man's words and scene were imprinted in the deepest part of his memory like a brand, leaving a hideous scar, no matter when he encountered it, the pain would be as terrifying as a new wound.

That day, I made a decision that I regret for the rest of my life.

…The mental state that was close to the limit made me not even remember what I said. When I came back to my senses, I heard the sound of heavy objects falling in the wind and snow. I looked up in horror, and my eyes were covered by the same picture face filled.

The only person besides me in my world.

My flesh and blood, the person I most want to be happy in my life.

In the wind and snow, the two pairs of blue eyes seemed to connect the blood. I saw the scrawny child in the dark prison cell, saw him desperately climbed up the window and looked at me under the tower, and cried out to me with tears streaming down his face. name.

After many years in captivity, I finally saw my twin brother again.

……

"At that time, you made a choice, right?"

The king in front of me asked me with a smile, his smile was as warm as the spring sun, but I shivered from the cold like I was in an underground ice cellar.

——Yes, at that time, I made a choice.

At that time, I chose myself.

I... killed Fay.

When we saw each other...it was already a cold corpse.

I stared obsessively at the other me who fell in front of me, seeing that his face like mine had become bloody and bloody, and his body like mine was lifeless... The legs that had not been used for many years were too weak to stand up, so I just Unable to even run to his side, she crawled over on both hands and feet, and hugged him into her arms in a panic, her broken body still warm.

The shattered bones could no longer support the body, the clothes were like rags, and even the sternum collapsed horribly, the broken arm drooped behind him at a strange angle, the shattered internal organs gave off a horrible smell, and that one was exactly like mine His face was bloody.

Fay...

The man's voice has been ringing for a long time, but it is only now that I really understand it.

Fay is really dead.

was killed by me.

"Fay-!!!"

The despair of extinction is overwhelming.The body in my arms is so light, yet so heavy.The cries echoed in the valley for a long time, but no one was sad for me anymore.

My world has collapsed.

Because, the person who built the world with me is gone.

The person I want to protect the most has been killed by my own hands.

……

"A life is lost because of a choice you made, so you have to take responsibility for that."

Yes... I was the one who killed Fay.

"This is the curse!"

Curse me, whatever you want.

"So, do you want to choose again? Do you want to turn back time?"

"That kind of thing...is impossible..."

"What would you do if you could?"

The man's sudden obsession made me tremble all over.

"If there was a spell to raise the dead... what would you do?"

……

After putting the curse on me, the man left, promising that someone would pick me up soon.

After that, the world became silent again.

I looked up at the towering Sin Tower as before, the sky was still connected with the white snow, the tower was still endless at a glance, and the surrounding brick walls were still desperately vertical... I don’t know how many times I have seen this scenery Years have never changed, but today, in just a few minutes, everything has changed.

I stared blankly at the sky, and suddenly felt that the sky was horribly white, the tip of the tower was as sharp as a knife, and the bricks and stones shook in my eyes, as if they were about to fall down...In an instant, everything seemed to have changed.

And we, too, have changed.

——I, holding the lifeless Fay in my arms.

The blood is still warm, but the person who was born and grew up with me, the person who made me think that with him, the whole world is like that, is gone, and I am the only one left.

But, it was me who should have been damned.

My heart was torn into pieces, and I murmured Fay's name over and over again, feeling that the previous despair was not despair.

No matter how hard it was in the past, when there was a last meal but no next meal, when we were separated and imprisoned in the valley of despair, because of him, as long as we think of him, we can dream. Don't be afraid no matter how tired you are.

Even if he is really an elder brother, he was obviously born on both feet, but he has taken care of me for so many years, calling my name every day, and healing the wounds on our bodies with magic every time... But I, I couldn't save me. He went out, failed to protect him, and even killed him because of his own selfishness.

But now, he has become a cold corpse, his broken body is limp in my arms as if he had no skeleton, and he is becoming stiff little by little.

Desperately, I wiped the blood on his face with my hands, but I couldn't wipe it off, just like I couldn't pay off the sins I owed him in my life.

—I abandoned him.

——I did not abide by the agreement at that time.

I sat in the snow with Fay in my arms, until the world was about to collapse, and tried my best to protect him in my arms, until suddenly a handsome man in gorgeous clothes appeared in front of me.

He smiles at us.

The man was wearing a long cloak, and his long black hair was naturally spread out. A few runes between his brows made him look very heroic, but his facial features were extremely gentle, especially his gentle eyes.

Those eyes were golden, as pretty as Fay's hair.

"I have... something I must do."

"In that case, you can't stay here, you have to live."

He smiles at me.

alive...?

Fay is gone, is there any hope for me?

"For...to be unlucky?"

"Do not--"

He held out his hand to me.

"To make wishes come true."

……

So that day, I left Farelia with him in my arms.

That day, I killed my most beloved twin brother.

And so, my world collapsed.

That day, a person appeared in my world and took me away.

That day, King Ashura asked my name, and his warm palm made me feel warm all over my body, just like the distant night when we hugged each other to keep warm.

The person who should have survived has passed away, and the tenderness that belonged to him has also been taken by me despicably... Desperate and ashamed, I can only hold his arm tightly, and say to the king who is looking at us tenderly——

My name is Fay.
