PROLOGUE

"Find the Lord!" Alexius shouted as he swings his swords toward the enemy. He knows that something is not right. The number of the enemy he slaughters is not decreasing. His blond hair glimmer under the sunlight. Alexius keeps searching for one person.

"Al! Where is he?" Liliana keeps running on the battlefield. looking around while swinging her staff. Tears started to fall from her eyes. She is afraid. She remembered what the Holy Saintess has told them. She refuses to accept it. She wanted to convince herself that The Lord who has been leading them in this war is still breathing.

"His mana depleting. I barely sense him, Liliana." Fredrick cast an explosion spell to obliterate the enemy. A large fire explosion erupted and the demon soldiers burned to ashes. He looked calm but at the same time, he keeps looking at the gate near the city entrance. His heart shakes as he remembers what that man has been telling him for the pasts few days.

Reiss and Carmelia keep slashing the enemy, leading the assassin squad, and breaking the enemy formations. Both of them hold their weapons tightly as they know something big will happen. Reiss keeps glancing at Liliana who's desperately searching and running. Carmelia focused on the enemy and try to distract herself from worrying about a certain person.

"Hey, Carmelia, The Lord will not leave us, right." Carmelia looks at Reiss and swallows her saliva.

"I don't know," Carmelia replied with a solemn voice. Reiss just grips his dagger and slashes the enemy's heads. He hopes that the prophecy will not come true. The support from the capital has not yet reached them.

" I hope Valcian can arrive faster. We can no longer hold on." Serian is holding a map while standing next to the tent while observing the bloody plain.

All of sudden, a beam of light falls and hits the demonic portal. Serian stagger and falls while holding his mouth. Carmelia and Reiss were going in the same direction. They looked at each other. Reiss was on a brink of a breakdown.

Alexius stopped and looked back, his eyes widening in horror. Liliana keeps chasing and running toward the light. She stumbles and Fredrick catches her. They know, The Lord has made his decision.

The demons' army finally decreases, and the demons' portal has completely disappeared. Then, a soft voice can be heard. The voice of Their Lord, Their master, Their father figure, and their light.

"Alexius, my knight. Share your laughter with the people around you. You know, you can always make a new family with new memories." Alexius fell to his knees hugging the swords that were given to him. He screams as hard as he could and sobbed.

"Liliana, my dear sister. Stay strong and lead the people who put their trust in you. Never run away from something you fear, break and fight them instead." Liliana sobbed and hug Fredrick.

"Fredrick, my dear apprentice. Open your heart and finally, you will be able to feel the warmth of a human heart. Not all humans were greedy and foolish as you expected." Fredrick looked at the sky and nodded.

"Reiss, my daughter's sword. Keep moving forward and stop doubting your ability. Violetta needs someone who can make a judgment considering her lacking ability to make a decision." Reiss keeps running towards the light. All of sudden, someone reaches him and hugs him from behind. A girl, covering her face holding her dagger tightly.

"Carmelia, my daughter's protector. Try to be yourself as you understand that showing your true self is not a disgrace. Violetta wished you to be happy too, you know?" Carmelia hugs the crying Reiss tighter. She keeps her face down as she started to cry.

"Serian, my son's advisor. You never lack knowledge of society and act with a calculative approach, but you must learn to listen to your heart. Valcian does not need a guide but he needs a friend who can reach him when he falls. " Serian sat down near a tree and stare at the disappearing light.

"I entrust the future to your hand"

Finally, the light completely disappears.

Rieze know the good fact of his upcoming death, yet he was unable to smile. He knew the fate have been written as it was supposed to be, yet he wished to stay a little longer. All of the good and bad memories that had been engraved in his mind flashed before his eyes.

"Father! Hold on! You must not lose consciousness. Brother is coming soon. Father, please..," Her long blond wavy hair obstructs his sight. Rieze that can only see the blurry color just laugh sadly. Their first meeting is not a favorable encounter yet at this moment, the girl is crying and shouting for his name.

He held out his hand and coughed out some blood. He somehow forgets who he was. Is it Lucien Clissen? or perhaps is it Rieze Astoria? " Violetta. He resents you. He hates you. The fact that you were born between them. The fact that you were born because of his sin to a woman whom he loves so much. He cannot forgive her, He cannot forgive himself."

" What nonsense were you spouting? Get a grip on yourself! I know you can kill, hate and get mad at me. But please, father. Please hold on." Violetta kneels and hugs the limp body and buried her face in his chest.

After two years for the death he wished for, Rieze Astoria who live as Lucien Clissen finally took his final, last breath. The pen that keep writing finally stopped moving. The world is stained with ink and blood. A woman with white long hair is holding a book while crying. Her body is shining brightly. Her white feathers and wings flutter as she forcefully moves the pen. For some reason, she refuses to let the soul rest, Miraila keeps defying the fate of the world.

The large hourglass break into pieces. The sand filled the white room and bury everything under it. The once so-called heavenly garden, filled with thousands and countless flowers and animals was now just an empty land of desert. Miraila walk through the desert and picked up the book that fall into the land.

"I will change your future again. Please be happy this time, my dear beloved."
