gentle and affectionate

With a fatal blow, he approached himself infinitely.

cannot……

I tried my best to break out a magic barrier, but I was one step too late, the barrier hit the place where the beam of light had passed, and I could only watch helplessly as the young man died because of me...

The moment he was about to stab the boy, the deadly beam of light shattered.

After my magic came a man—

Clothed in black, tall, with a long sword in his hand, he looks like a ninja at first glance.

Short hair, sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, brows are habitually frowned, and lips are habitually pursed to look thin.

That person is called Hei Gang.

——However, there is something different.

There was no time for ecstasy, the imprint on his forehead was brighter than magic, like a lamp in the dark night, breaking through the dark night before dawn, sending hope to the world.

He slashed with his sword, and the king cast a curse with his hand.

--don't want!

It is impossible for Heigan to defeat the king who uses magic, but the protective seal on his forehead led him to break through the attack. The heroic general ignored the large and small wounds caused by the magic impact all over his body, and only focused on away from his goal.

The long sword swung, blood spilled on the battlefield.

The shackles between the throats were instantly loosened.

I turned around quickly.

The long sword pierced the king's heart accurately, and the king was pierced by the long sword, his clothes were stained with blood, but the smile on his face was still elegant and handsome.

"That seal is protecting you."

"Draw your sword."

Long hair in luxurious clothes, and the pattern on his forehead made him look noble and heroic, but his eyebrows and eyes were curved, gentle like the best father in the world.

A king who is as gentle to us as he once brought us back.

"Draw your sword."

He looked at Heigan and repeated with a faint smile. He didn't look like he was facing someone who killed him, but rather a proud child.

Hei Gang hesitated for a moment, then pulled out his sword, warm blood sprayed on my body, a rain of sad blood filled the sky.

Tears rolled down my cheeks involuntarily, and I felt cold fingers touch the corners of my eyes.

"You can't cry for me."

Pulling out the wound of the long sword and opening such a big hole in the heart, he could no longer maintain his body balance, and fell forward, falling on me who was too late to catch him, his long hair brushed his chest, and at the same time Also with his thousand years of loneliness.

A king who is diligent in government and loves the people, such a gentle king, ended up like this in the end.

"If possible, I want to be killed by you, to remove this last curse for you, but..."

The sound lying in my ears was almost like the sound of mosquitoes, and it was already extremely difficult to breathe.

"If it's them, it should be overcome."

I froze, so it was too late to catch him, and he finally fell powerlessly on his back.

The king lay on his back on the cold ground of the palace, smiling until his deathbed.

The golden eyes are clear and gentle, like the sunshine in winter, no matter how cold it is, in the end, he is still the king who loves me the most.

……

I can only reach out and close my eyes for him.

Turning his head, the ninja holding the sword was not having a good time, the wound on the right side of his abdomen was still bleeding, and the new wound made the whole person look even more embarrassed; but, I thought, he is not dead, he can still Continue to look at me with his eyes, no matter tired or distressed.

I know, I should be happy, because we all survived, and Sakura was found... Wang's death was expected, and everything ended, even satisfactorily, not to mention, Hei Gang is still alive The reality of this is enough to rekindle hope in me who just lost everything.

The heartbeat gradually returned, the breathing gradually became normal, and the body's consciousness also recovered a lot. It seemed that even the temperature was no longer so cold.

But... the tears just couldn't stop.

I looked at him, my eyes met, but I couldn't say a word.

I'm sorry, I know I should be happy, I don't blame you for killing the king, it's just...

king he...

I……

……

"Little... Sakura..."

Sakura's body suddenly soared into the air, and together with the abnormal change of the pool, the rising water column fell, and what was inside was——

"Fay—!"

No, no, Ji Mingming is no longer there, his body should...

The body repaired by the king has not changed at all, the blond hair longer than the body covers the thin and terrifying face, just like me back then, with his hands folded in front of his belly, holding the blue fluorite It suddenly glowed with light.

Then, shatter.

Only then did I know that there was already a guardian feather hidden in the fluorite that the king gave us.

Fay, Feather, Sakura.

The feather emits a pure white light, and with longing, it materializes the memory again——

In the dark prison cell, the skinny child sat by the wall and was asked the question that determined his life:

"Choose! Is it you who leave, or someone else?"

"Let Yui go!"

"Oh? The children below said they want you to leave Fay, what are you going to do?"

"It doesn't matter if Fay dies, so please let Yui go."

"So, you're sacrificing your life?"

"As long as you promise me, you must let Yui leave this tower."

By the window of the wind and snow, he slowly climbed up to the window that was melted away by magic.

"Sorry, I can't go out with you, Yui."

"I hope...you can be free..."

Then, after being away for many years, he and I saw each other again, and it was a moment of goodbye.

……

"So...that's Fay's memory?"

The part of the heart that had been so festered that it couldn't be discerned was alive again as if a new granulation sprouted.I feel a sense of redemptive relief that the sins I have carried all my life have been overturned today.

It turned out that I did not renege on our oath.

I used to blame myself deeply for this, wishing I could change my life for another. I dare not accept everything in front of me, because I feel that this does not belong to me, and I don’t deserve it for myself, because I am so bad, because I am so bad. He once killed his twin brother, because he has been surviving idly till now.

I have nightmares every night, afraid that he will blame me, and then ignore me again, ruining all ties, so that he will not be able to forgive me until he dies.

But the truth turned out to be that he was forced to give up his life in order to protect me.

It wasn't until today that I finally realized that everything was not as I imagined, and that I didn't have to bear that original sin.

……

Feather returned to Sakura's body, and Fay's body was about to disappear. I couldn't help reaching out to him, but someone grabbed my arm at this moment.

As soon as I turned my head, it was those eyes that made me sink again.

"Let him rest in peace!"

The feathers belonged to the owner, and his body weathered with it.Since then, the person whose real name is Fay has completely disappeared in this world, without a trace, and only exists in my memory.However, the way he lowered his head slightly and buried himself in Sakura's chest seemed so serene, as if he had returned to the first baby days, holding tightly to hope.

——Faita, finally about to start a new life.

Hei Gang's words echoed in my ears, my heart felt sour, and I couldn't add more guilt for a moment.

"Because of me, I can't let you rest in peace..."

"I'm sorry... Fay..."

It turns out that everything is not as I imagined, and it turns out that I don't need to bear the original sin.

I thought I never deserved any more love.

Only to find out that he has always been loved.

- Fay,

I also hope that you can get the best and most love in this world and start a new life again.
