“Huh Huh”
I grabbed my stomach with trembling hands. Then, sticky, hot blood splattered onto my hands. It’s also very funny.
“This….. Isn’t it surprising that i didn’t die instantly?”
When I saw the wound that would not be strange even if I stopped breathing, my mind became hazy for a moment. It’s not the first time i’ve experienced it.
That always brought a shock enough to leave the mind.
‘I again……. Will die…..?’
I died at the age of 21 and returned to my 20s. I wondered if it was the will of heaven to live longer than to die this time. Death always come back to me after a year.
As if someone had decided, ‘You must die on this day’. It was a bit unfair to end my life twice at a flower age, but there are things that i thought we’re fortunate.
That’s what stop the assassins. I looked at the corpses lying in front of me. They were lords and princes of the empire, sent by Ain. Unfortunately, he ran into me, so i ended up walking the nether road (referring to a dangerous road or path). I didn’t feel guilty at all.
More than the lives of 10 assassins, I……. Our prince. Because Jeremy’s life is more precious.
“Prince….”
Thinking of Jeremy suddenly made me want to see him like crazy.
‘I may never see you again. Just before I die…. Can’t I see you just one more time?’
But then, Jeremy’s voice was heard as if in response to my humble wish
“Hillian!”
He is my husband, the prince of the empire. It was Jeremy Elquisus.
“No, You can’t do this.”
Jeremy knelt down and pulled my droopy body into his arms. Then, his silver hair, shining like a star, flickered before my eyes. In my hazy consciousness. I thought the figure was as mysterious as the other side of the moon.
“The wound…..”
Jeremy’s voice trembled slightly as he saw my wound bleeding. His voice was as precarious and hopeless as a sinking shipwreck.
“I’ll cast a spell on you now. Please, be a little more patient”
He hastily cast a healing magic. However, because death was already determined, the healing magic did not show any effect at all.
“Wow, it feels cool”
I vomited another handful of blood. Then Jeremy’s face contorted painfully.
White skin. The jawline that forms a smooth line. Seductive eyes with a pure light purple color. Like the most handsome man that he is in the empire, he was beautiful even if he frowned.
“Why. Why doesn’t magic work?”
A large amount of mana was flowing out of Jeremy’s hand. But my body repelled all the mana like it has an invisible curtain around it.
“Cool. That, stop it”
I put my hand in the back of his hand. When the healing magic didn’t work, it meant that death was imminent.
“It won’t work. So, even the prince, come on…. You need to get out of here. The prince…… To kill the prince, they! will come.”
“………… Do not say. Anymore”
Jeremy bit his lip when I said that it’s already too late.
‘i bled. Why does he look sicker than me’
Why does he look more likely to die?
‘maybe we can meet again. You don’t have to be sad.’
But i didn’t have to say it out loud. In fact, even i don’t know if i’ll ever be able to come back.
“Is there a third one?”
I mumbled something he couldn’t understand. Even if he don’t know what i mean, he listened intently to me. But then. Something clear and transparent flashed in his eyes.
*Drop*
“………Are you crying?”
I looked up at the watery pale purple eyes.
“Why are you crying so sadly…..? What do I say?”
I’m just a spy who approached him on the order of the Crown prince. Although I change my mind halfway through, we only married for me to spy on him on the first place anyway.
“……….. Do not say that. Enough already…. You are tearing my heart apart.”
Even though i was like that, Jeremy embraced me as if i was so precious.
“Sigh”
Meanwhile, death was creeping closer to me. Taking a rough breath in his arms. I slowly closed my eyes. It bothered me to leave him like this, but now there’s not much time left. The candle that show the bottom will soon ignite the last flame and burn.
“….I regret it.”
“……..”
She breathed out her last breath, feeling the hot teardrops on her cheeks.
“I regret that i never told you i love you”
I never heard what he regretted after all. I was just too sleepy. I didn’t think of anything.
