Chapter 121: A Dream of Consequence
"Madam, you have returned!!" As I got out of the carriage, the workers of the mansion circled around me, bombarding me with numerous questions about the tea party and the princess.
"Madam, what happened in the tea party? Did you make friends? How are they? Did the princess like you?" they asked, making me feel overwhelmed at the entrance of the mansion.
"Leave the madam!! She is tired. She needs rest," my maid intervened, securing my escape to my room and allowing me to breathe in peace.
"Woah, these people don’t have a sense of stopping. They could have just waited for you to finish your rest, then come and ask, but they just kept on jumping on you. So bad. They are behaving nothing like those other people in the state," my maid expressed her concern.
"It is ok. I’m fine. They are only curious about the party. And anyone would be. You don’t have to worry," I assured her and tried to fall asleep. For a moment, I had the thought I would get the dream once again, which kept slipping into my dreams even though I didn’t know what was going on there.
I closed my eyes, hoping I wouldn’t get the dream again, but it didn’t stop. It didn’t work as I wished, and I was once again sucked into the scene where I found the angel still sitting near the riverbank, waiting for the knight.
"Princess, come back to the heavenly realm," the person kept on calling the angel to return, but the angel didn’t focus on her. The day passed, even night covered her, but she kept on waiting for the knight in the same place until one day she saw the knight coming toward her, blood falling on the ground.
"Knight, what made you look like this? Did the other opponent make you like this? I will take revenge for you," the angel rose in anger while trying to go to war.
"The war is over, angel. The war is over. And how will you take my revenge when you said they are also people? If they die, their family will suffer, so how will you do that?" the knight said, making the angel change her expression as if she had changed after meeting this knight.
"I’m not going to live anymore, angel. I think my time has come to an end. As you said once you saved me, but the next moment I’m going to get the most painful death, and here am I. The opponent’s sword pierced through my chest, but I still came here to meet you, I don’t know why. My heart is bleeding in pain, but my heart desired to meet you, see you once the last time," the knight said, making the angel’s eyes teary.
"I think I have fallen for you, angel," the knight said while falling to the ground.
"No, no!!! I didn’t wait here so long to see you die."
