Regardless of how snowy or bloody it is on human soil, the elven lands are always peaceful with birds singing, fragrant flowers and a nice-gentle breeze.
I felt a little perplexed.
How long has it been since Ive been to the elven lands, havent seen that ancient tree, havent heard the soothing sound of the wind and havent flower scents that cross over countless mountains all the way here?
I havent been back to the elven lands in a long ti. To , the elven lands are similar to a place cut off from the world, where I can take shelter from the turbulence. No matter how chaotic the outside world may be, its always blissful and warm here.
I should go back and see the elven lands. I should go back to take a look around after so much that has happened. I should take Luna back to look around. I should take her back to her hotown to look around. Lunas ho is here. If she didnt et with misfortune, Luna wouldnt have appeared on human soil. She would be shining and radiating the sa way the beautiful flowers in bloom here in this small village radiate.
Luna is truly very beautiful. If she was here, she would definitely be very, very beautiful when combined with an innocent smile and a past void of pain. She would definitely be the most beautiful flower. However, would I have been able to et her then? While I would be in the sa lands as her, Id be at the Imperial Capital as the Elf King living in peace, while shed be at a tiny village as a ritual sacrifice. Id accompany Lucia on strolls in the Imperial Capital and spend boring afternoons with her, while Luna would be singing in the sea of flowers and then lie down in the flowers when she got tired to catch her breath.
We would never have t then, would we? If we didnt et for the first ti at the market, we probably never wouldve t each other. Galle Village is too small. Its so small that its never appeared on the map. I have no reason to co here, and Luna never wouldve co to the Imperial Capital, either. We wouldve travelled different paths that never wouldve crossed. Though we wouldve been in the sa world, what happened after we t never wouldve taken place, because my Princess is Lucia, and she wouldnt need .
Without that tragedy, without her suffering and without the first most terrible eting at the market, our after story wouldnt have existed. That would an that we wouldnt have embraced, and we wouldnt have stargazed together. The touching monts and our love would never have existed.
I gently held Luna. Luna slept soundly in my arms. I sat in the wind. I looked at the hillside filled with flowers. With Luna in my arms, I murmured, But even so, Luna, I still want you to stay here.
It wouldve been great if I had Luna stay here when we ca here that ti. It wouldve been fine if I had left Luna on the elven side. If I didnt get soft-hearted and bring Luna along, Luna wouldnt be in an eternal slumber right now. I mightve been in danger, and I might not have survived that night, but regardless, I dont want to lose my Luna over that.
I hope my company can bring you bliss and happiness, my dear Luna.
I kissed Lunas lips that were no longer soft and slowly stood up; however, I then staggered down the hillside a little. Lunas hair blew in the wind. Her smile was gentle as a butterflys wings. I carried Luna slowly through the sea of flowers comparably to watching butterflies dance in the flowers.
There was nobody around. I wanted to send Luna off by myself.
Luna mustve felt lonely when she faced Alice. She mustve felt very lonely and terrified.
Would Luna hesitate about which way to go when shes faced with endless darkness? Will she cry?
I dont know if I can transfer my warmth to her. I dont know if my embrace will provide her with so comfort. Luna walked to her end alone for my sake. I wont let her finish the journey alone.
I want to, at the very least, hold her in my arms until the very last mont.
Ive already dug a deep hole in the middle of the flowers, and Ive already placed the casket down there with the flowers that exude warmth spread out on top. The white flowers were akin to shining stars.
By placing Luna inside, Luna will be able to see the stars we gazed at together, wont she?
I placed Luna down gently on top of the flowers and stroked her cheek one last ti and held her hand one last ti.
I looked at the corner of Lunas mouth and softly said, From now on, I wont ever have a personal servant. Luna, youre my one and only personal servant. No matter where I go from now and no matter what I beco, I will never have a second personal servant, so you dont have to get jealous, Luna. Dont worry, I wont betray you just how you didnt betray .
Ill keep that promise.
For , a personal servant isnt a post, but a person and soone I will miss.
Besides that, there are no personal servants.
Goodbye, Luna. I believe that we will et again. Im sure we will. Before we et again, I will definitely beco a monarch thats strong enough to protect you over on your side. As long as Im with you, Ill never let Alice approach you again. So have a good rest, Luna. Have a good rest.
Luna slowly disappeared from sight before as the black casket lid slowly shut and ended the mory of that night.
Luna is truly gone. Shes truly gone. Nobody will wake up gently in the morning again. When Nier and Lucia arent around, nobody will wait for in the middle of the night with a light.
Luna is gone.
The long nails were nailed in. The flower petals were scattered on top of the casket. Layers of dirt were shovelled on top, but the levelled dirt could never fill the hole in my heart.
Luna was always by my side. Fate brought her to . Ti made her existence natural and right. Betrayal stole Luna away, causing my heart to forever be missing a piece, where painful blood will continue to trickle from.
If Im going to bleed, there must be others who shed blood. And Ill make sure they bleed more. Ill make sure they bleed their blood dry. I will make all those who bring harm to those around vanish from this world. Ill drown all the other morons who even think about it with their blood.
Im no longer afraid of killing people, and I no longer worry about killing people. I have no more rcy. I wont care about their age. Everybodys fate is fair before a blade. If I cant completely eliminate my enemies, then there will be trouble in the future. If I cant be ahead by one step, Ill be crying tears of pain before another casket again. I wont even be able to get revenge.
ra made want to beco a King.
Luna let know the aning of authority and power.
So dont worry, Luna.
I wont allow that sort of thing to happen again. I dont want to use my abilities to conquer people anymore. Im just going to use my sword. There wont be any more betrayals, because there will only be two sorts of people in this world. The first type is the one who obeys . The second type is the dead.
Ill kill all those who dont obey or question as I did the other day. Ive killed so many people already so I dont mind killing more, tens more, hundreds more or thousands more.
I just need to have authority and power. I cant just stay as a lord. I want to beco a King as Mom is. Thats the only way Ill be able to kill all those I want to kill.
This is where Troy Galadriel Rosvenors personal servant, Luna is buried. I hope that she was full of smiles when she was with .
I fumbled to stick the tombstone into the mound of dirt crookedly; then I picked up Lunas small statue and placed it into the flowers.
See? I knew it.
Lunas smile is more beautiful than the flowers.
