Chapter 394 – Epilogue
“Idiot… That’s why… Didn’t I tell you to stop…”
Tears flow down the goddess’ cheeks.
In the first place, it was not something humans could endure.
In a time close to eternity, she constantly suffers and asks for forgiveness.
If this isn’t hell then what is?
“…Now I need praise, not swearing…”
But this man did it.
No matter how strong the spirit, I came back from that hell that would have collapsed.
I was so grateful and sorry that the goddess couldn’t help but shed tears.
“Yeah… Look at your… Look… How can I praise you… Stupid… Such a guy… If you were stubborn, you would have become a part of them too.”
“I bet…But it’s too bad. “
It was as the goddess said.
I almost collapsed several times.
I thought I could bear it, but the constant pain and guilt slowly gnawed at me…
Eventually, it was completely worn out and made it impossible to think of anything.
‘…What am I doing…’
I don’t even know who I am
Just like a machine, dying and reviving and asking for forgiveness over and over again.
“…****”
Someone is shouting in the distance, but you can’t hear it.
“…****…****…!!!”
No, it’s not that I can’t hear it.
“****…****..****!!”
“****…!”
Didn’t want to hear
I didn’t want to think about it.
Now I can barely forget everything.
When I try to come to mind, guilt and pain constantly torment me.
Hate.
The body is enough to be sick.
Thoughts are just painful.
So… Nothing…
“…Lucia is ****!!!”
At that time, only one name someone had uttered was clearly audible.
‘..Lucia?’
The moment I recall the name, my heart, which had stopped, seemed to start beating again.
The guilt and pain that flooded me with that alone tormented me, but my soul was speaking to me.
Lucia.
You must not forget this name.
Lucia…
Lucia…
Lucia Urella.
I love… The woman.
“…!!”
Eyes that had been closed for a long time opened.
Is there really only guilt and pain left for me?
It wasn’t.
Lucia Urella, Liana Lumenhark, Baekso, Vivian Beatrice, Bianca Beatrice, Lilith, Tristia, Iris, Faboli Melfisa, Emma, Garcia Maisha, Reika Calliope, Marjan, Velbert Lindala
Enough to survive the time here…
It was full of much more precious memories for me.
Each one rises and the broken heart regains its wick.
Kwak—
‘Do not give up.’
Can’t give up
Abandoning them is an option that doesn’t exist for me.
I will definitely go back
Like that… I was able to stand here.
“No… I won’t praise you. There’s no way to express it…It was stupid…If you’d only…Leaved me…You…Didn’t…Do…That…But… I really… Had a hard time… Had a hard time… Had a hard time… I’m sorry.
“…”
He approached her crying goddess, embraced her, and comforted her.
“Thank you. If you hadn’t given up and called out my name, I couldn’t have come back.”
“.
“I told you not to cry, but why are you crying more?”
After soothing the goddess who had been crying for so long, she saw her swollen face.
“Even the goddess has a swollen face.”
“Boo… Disrespectful. No… I’m not disrespectful. Because I don’t deserve to be called a goddess anymore.”
A goddess who laughs in a self-deprecating tone.
“As I said, I am now more of a remnant of her former goddess. Because I used all my strength to stop ‘end’.”
“What. He told me not to sacrifice himself and sacrificed himself.”
“It is different with you. Because this world was the world my children lived in. Isn’t it natural for a mother to sacrifice herself for her children… She should return sooner rather than later. Everyone will be waiting for her.”
“They say time doesn’t pass.”
“That is what it means. Don’t follow me.”
Wooung ─
As the goddess waved her hand, she saw the white oval passage she had seen when she first came here.
“Eugene… As I said, that’s a passage made for you… I didn’t assume that I would go with you… I don’t know what will happen. It’s really ok though…”
“Don’t worry.”
I said, holding the hand of the worried goddess.
“It’ll turn out okay.”
I can feel it.
That this world is hoping for a happy ending.
“…Okay. I get it. I don’t trust you.”
“Okay, let’s go back.”
***
On the day of Carnea’s entrance ceremony.
“…”
As she was perplexed, wondering what the hell this was all about, a voice rang in her head.
‘As expected, an abnormal situation occurred.’
‘…What?’
‘This is the beginning, an unrecorded world… But it is a world from which one must not escape. If you veer off course, there is a possibility that everything you have done will be lost.’
‘What is that…’
When I asked the question, I kept my mouth shut.
There wasn’t any particular reason.
I just wanted to see Lucia’s face on the podium.
It was a very longing and lovely appearance, but the moment our eyes met.
I realized where this place was in Lucia’s eyes, where I couldn’t feel anything.
…This was the world of the first playthrough.
Kwak-
It was painful.
It’s not because this world is finally coming to an end.
Rather, the fact that I had to thoroughly train Lucia, who did not love me, was painful.
‘…If it’s hard to do, I can do it instead. I also have all the memories, so if I turn over my body and fall asleep for a while, I can pass as if nothing happened…’
“No…”
At the words of the goddess, I said as if I had promised.
“I have to.”
The last person I was responsible for was Lucia.
***
Watching Lucia fall asleep exhausted from crying, I drank.
‘…Isn’t it painful?’
‘…Are you okay.’
Pain.
To torment Lucia, to train her.
Even if it was just a reflection of the past, it was painful enough to be unbearable.
But I can’t quit because I know that if this episode didn’t exist, everything that has happened so far could be twisted.
That’s why I stroked the sleeping Lucia’s hair…
“…Sorry.”
I handed over an apology that I couldn’t convey.
**
After the demise of the end, two years later.
A lot has changed.
In the meantime, I did my best to achieve what Eugene left in the diary.
I made sure that no one collapsed, and even though I knew it was impossible, I made sure that Eugene continued his busy life as much as possible so that he could not feel the vacancy.
However… No one tried to leave Carnea’s vicinity.
Even Vivian was working as an assistant professor at Carnea, and I became the chairman of the board.
Boom—!
“Hey.”
“…It’s been a while, Bianca. Did you have a good subjugation?”
Ignoring the greeting, Bianca came over and hit the desk.
“Now… Tell me Lucia…!! You know the truth!!”
“What… The truth?”
“I’m deceiving myself and enduring it, but Vivian is the limit!!”
Know.
Vivian is smiling as always, but her spirit, which she has been holding on to with only the hope of Eugene’s return, is about to break down.
But there is only one thing I can say.
“…The master will be back soon. Or Bianca… Are you not trusting the master?”
“It’s awesome…!!”
Without affirmation or denial.
Just, without saying anything, Bianca blushes around her eyes.
I want to believe that Eugene will come back because Bianca did the same.
“Come this way.”
“…The hell…When are you coming back…Bo…See…Want to.”
He held the sobbing Bianca in her arms and stroked her back for a while.
“Just a little more… Please bear with me a little longer. He will definitely come back.”
***
Jeobeok─ Jeokbeok─
She arrived at the dormitory where Eugene lived, looking up at the night sky without a single moonlight after all her daily routine.
“Yujin-ah…”
I take a deep breath on the bed, but…
I don’t smell his scent anymore.
“Black…”
A sudden outburst of crying.
“Kuhhhhh”
I tried to hold it in, but I couldn’t stop crying once I realized it.
“I… You… It’s so hard. Master. I miss you… I miss you so much… I feel like my heart will break… Heuuuuu…”
I pretended nothing was wrong and endured it.
If I fall, everyone will fall.
But that too is now at its limit.
The soul seems to die
I’m desperately enduring it believing in one word to wait, but I wasn’t that strong without you.
I wanted to end it all.
“…Eugene…Ah…”
The room without his scent was too painful.
“I miss you…”
***
‘Ah…’
How long have you been asleep?
After crying a lot like this, I still feel like my mind has been sorted out.
Recently, the cycle of mental instability is getting shorter and shorter.
‘…No. If it shakes like this…’
Eugene said to wait for him.
Then I just believe and wait.
At that time…
“…Lucia.”
An auditory hallucination resounds in my ears with Eugene’s voice.
Don’t want to hear
I’ve heard it countless times, but I’ve been betrayed countless times.
“Lucia.”
His voice is so clear…
If even this was an illusion, it would break, so I covered my ears and closed my eyes.
“Do not come…”
“Am I too late or do you not want to see my face?”
I hate the hallucinations that imitate his voice and his way of speaking.
“…Don’t come…Please…”
“Open your eyes.”
You shouldn’t believe it.
This is just a hateful hallucination.
However, more than that, I wanted to cling to even the hateful hallucinations.
“Ah…Ah…Ah…”
When I opened my eyes, I saw Eugene’s figure very clearly.
“Huhhhhh Uhhhhh,,, uhhhhhthm..Uhhhhh, Eugene… Eugene-ah…”
Tears that I thought I had poured out last night overflow again.
I stretched out my hand slowly, but stopped before reaching him.
When you touch it, it becomes clear that this is an illusion.
OK…
─Toouk
Eugene pulled Lucia’s unreachable hand.
“…Ah?”
A warmth so palpable.
Did I finally go crazy to even feel the touch like this?
If not…
“Ahhh…”
“I was too late.”
“AA AA AA…!!”
Lucia, who jumped up to Eugene and hugged her, cried like an idiot.
“Ughhhhh! It’s painful… It’s hard…”
“Sorry…”
“Ha…But… Uh… Uh uh… Mi… I… Wanted to… Wait… I wanted… To believe… Too. ..Will come back… Thinking…”
Without knowing what he is saying, he vomits out all the emotions he has stored in her heart, but his body temperature felt on her skin fills her empty chest.
“I’ve been Lucia.”
“Kkeuuuuu…
***
In the imperial family, unprecedented in history…
A whopping 14 weddings were taking place at the same time.
It was customary for an emperor with many wives and concubines to marry only one person, but a civil war almost broke out while deciding who should marry her first, so she received everyone’s blessings…
“I…I’m against this marriage! Brother!”
“I’m against it too…! I will never allow it!”
Correct.
Although she wore a wedding dress, the wedding ceremony was being held with the blessings of everyone except for the two mothers and daughters who shed bloody tears because they could not participate as brides.
“Let’s go. Lucia.”
“Yes, Yujin. Wait a minute… I’ll just write this down and go.”
At Eugene’s call, Lucia glared at her diary and brushed her lips…
“Ah! That would be nice too.”
She smiled as if she remembered something and left the title on the cover of her diary.
