"Who your true love is has never mattered, Anna. You won't live long. Really. Nor will you have time to enjoy a life with him. Forget your dreams. Sacrifice yourself for your clan. For Harga, the land that swore a faith to you."Anna took a deep breath. She was not the kind of spoilt girl who would sacrifice her clan for her ideals. She could find love again in her next life. "Tell me, I have to rescue and bring back one of my missing family members, right?"Yes." "I will do it. Even if it kills me. I promise, my sole aim in this life is to bring it back to Harga.""Good girl. Perhaps when your goal is achieved and you are still alive, you can be with your true love."Anna and the Goddess walked on to the next paintings, seeing story after story carved into them."So how is Harga while I'm gone?" Anna wondered."Since I gave you this mission, we made a pact. You used your power to freeze all living beings in Harga. You said you wouldn't want any trouble while you were gone. Then I
Jean never knew what exactly kind of feelings he has for Erwin. He loved them both, Erwin and Anna. And once he had a wet dream where he was made love with them both at the same bed. The dream was so wild that he thought it was from the devil. But the dream became a turning point in his life. He finally realised that his feelings for Erwin were love. Of course, he knew that Erwin was a normal man who liked girls. There was no hope for Jean. And Jean didn't have much hope for Erwin either. To always fight by his side, to be his right hand in every battle, was enough for Jean. That's why when he blurted out that he loved Erwin, his face flushed with shame. I shouldn't have said that, he thought.Luckily for Jean, Erwin only replied:"All my subordinates should give their hearts to me."Lord Gardier slapped Jean lightly on the back. He gave his son a wry look as if he say: "What the hell were you did, moron?"So after that meeting, Jean decided to hide his feelings for Erwin forever. Jea
Even their wedding ceremony was enough to make Erwin sick. On that solemn morning, during the wedding ceremony, the lady wore a light green wedding dress that exposed almost all part of her back. It was a provocative outfit for a lady from a respectable family, but she wore it anyway, as if she were a prostitute attracting customers by showing off her beautiful skin."You shine very brightly today, future husband." The lady said as her father handed her to Erwin."You too."Erwin hated his marriage to the lady, but he only slightly hated the lady herself. After all, Lady Arista and her family had helped Erwin with his escape plan."Not loving someone does not mean hating them." Erwin said in a very low voice, hoping that no one hear it.He had to kiss the lady in front of the guests. And he did. He planned the kiss as a little peck, but Lady Arista kissed his lips greedily. All the guests cheered with joy."Long live the king. Long live the queen." They all said in unison.Erwin hated
"Erwin... my dear." Lady Arista said. She patted Erwin's cheek with to make sure the poison had worked perfectly on Erwin's poor body.Erwin wanted to scream, but he could not even blink an eye. He knew he was being poisoned. This kind of paralysing poison had been used before to paralyse enemy soldiers. And this time he felt the effects of the poison himself. He was about to be raped by that damned woman. "Maybe this is the punishment for the violent I did to Anna." He thought.Lady Arista smiled widely. "Damn you woman." Erwin thought.The lady took off his clothes, then pulled Erwin's legs so that he was lying in the middle of the bed."Oh God, oh my God." She said as she laughed out loud at Erwin's erect. Just as the body would die if given a deadly poison, Erwin's body inevitably followed the poison's affect."Don't worry, dear. We're going to having fun."And what he was afraid about to happen, the sexual intercourse. "The Goddamned Everything." Erwin thought. He tried hard
"This world is so disgusting, so horrible." Anna said as she regained her full consciousness.Having had her fill of beating Anna, Lady Arista carried her unconscious body back to her room in the harem. The queen had dragged her by the hair, leaving Anna's dress torn and her skin bleeding from the uneven floor. The harem was empty now. She was alone. Maybe Erwin was still with Lady Arista. Anna rose from her prone position. The blood that running down in her skin started to evaporat, forming a small cloud of smoke. Her open wounds closed in an instant. She concentrated on healing her wounds."Now you know my pain," a familiar voice of a woman said.Anna immediately turned her head the direction where the voice was coming from, it's above her wardrobe. She saw the red-haired spirit sitting on top of her wardrobe. The ghost was in between the wardrobe and the roof, smiling her pale lips at Anna."I have waited so long." The spirit said.That red hair, those violet eyes, she is a King
"Oh God, darling... This is the worst thing that could have happened to me. My heart can bear all the pain I have been through, but how can my heart bear the pain of our separation, Anna? My heart cannot bear it. I could kill myself, Anna. If you go, my life will be completely dark. You are my only light. Please, darling, don't leave me alone.Unexpectedly, the red-haired ghost enters the lovers' conversation. Anna herself does not want Erwin to die, but she is too selfish to say so, as Erwin has caused her great pain."Death will not free you from this pain, my king, only I can do that. If you want your love back, if you want to be free, leave it with me.""Did you hear what she said? Now let me go.""I love you, Anne. I really do." Erwin said, hoping Anna would say "I love you too, Erwin".He let go of Anna's hand. He watched as Anna's body slowly faded away, along with the butterflies that continued to surround her, and the red-haired ghost embraced her from behind. And in the blin
Lady Cresta took Anna to another realm, Purgatory. The realm between the human world and the afterlife. This is where the souls who are not welcome in the hereafter float. The realm resembles a vast meadow at night. An endless meadow. Only grass on all horizons. With a mystical purple, blue and pink night sky full of celestial bodies. What an amazing landscape, cosmic and yet mysteriously beautiful, this sky. Anna was spellbound and had goose bumps."It's beautiful." Anna said as she looked up at the sky. "How can you be tormented here?""I'll show you everything. You will be in pain, my lady." Lady Cresta said when she saw Anna in tears after seeing how beautiful the sky is. "Is this place some sort of time machine?""No, but every event that has ever happened in the world is recorded here. This is Purgatory. The realm of rejected souls."Cresta took Anna by the hand and led her around."My soul is imprisoned in this realm. My soul can't go to the realm of the dead. I will show you
"Keep quiet, you'll know everything later," said Cresta, the spirit.Anna just nodded.Next they listened to the conversation between young Cresta and Adrianne."Well, I saw your boat capsize because of the big waves. Then I swam out and pulled your body to shore. By the way, my name is Cresta.""What a beautiful name. Thank you, girl. You're my guardian angel, you look the part. My name is Adrianne." Adrianne smiled as he introduced himself. Adrianne's smile brought a blush to Cresta's cheeks. It was obvious that Cresta was interested in him. And Adrianne knew how to play on Cresta's innocent feelings."Where are you from, Cresta? I mean, where did your beauty come from? I've never seen such a unique beauty as you here? Your red hair, your violet eyes, your pale skin. It's so extraordinary.""You think I am beautiful?""Yes. Much more beautiful than my former girlfriends." I think I've been in love with you since the first time I saw you. Anyway, you're the angel who saved my life,
