For You This World I'll Destroy

Melodia Noctis (End)

“Don't love, don't trust anyone and lastly.Never forget who you really are,” my murmur while plucking the crown of ice flowers, which I created from my blood. One by one, over and over again, while repeating my words.

My chariot driver got his own goosebumps, peering behind the window in fear. Maybe because he wanted to part with me quickly, the coachman mutilated his horse to get faster.

“Am I that terrible?” my murmured who was looking out, watching the roar of the typhoon storm that made the forest tremble. Lightning strikes here and there, wanting to caress the ground but disappears before it can reach it.

… Just like my hand that wanted to grab Mutter, but it never arrived.

Kiiit!

“Aakkhh!!”

A sword slammed into the coachman's heart, piercing the wall of the carriage before me. The blood pouring out of him showed the terrible end of the fearful coachman. And at the same time, my carriage door was elegantly knocked.

“Princess of the Month, we beg to come out,” said the male voice.

I got off the carriage and found myself surrounded by twelve black-robed knights. All with black swords preparing in hand. Just looking at it, I already knew what the intention behind them was to disturb my journey. They are Matrovska, the knight of darkness belonging to Queen Kinje who has crushed “All Bullies” in the peace of Kinje.

“Oh... So, in Mutter's eyes. I've been like that,” I said who then gave the Knight in front of me a flower that I strung from my own blood, “Hey, you guys kill me.. What if we do one game?

Unostentatious. You just guessed who among us is the Moon Princess. The name of the game is.. Juggernaut.”

The blood flower broke and splashed all over Matrovska. Confused what happened, one of the Knights jumped over wanting to slash at me. But a Knight in front of me immediately fended it off and protected me. Blood cries emerged from the Knight, along with a burning heat that released steam from his body. Snarling the knight then attacked the others, as I sat on the steps of the carriage, enjoying the caliodoscope of humanity.

“Captain! Realize, our target is that person!” said a Knight who pointed at the other knights.

“What are you talking about, aren't you the Moon Princess in disguise?!” yell the accused.

In the end the twelve knights exchanged slashes with each other. No one gave in and no one was at all aware of my existence. They hurt each other because of ego about self-righteousness. The weakness in humans that I exploited with simple illusion magic that even elementary school children could use.

“Noise Echo,” gumamku.

Simple magic that children use to prank their friends, while playing hide-and-seek or night squeals. Because with that magic, we can create the illusion of sound that sounds real in the ear. But, it shouldn't be that simple magic is capable of fabricating reality and controlling the minds of adults. There was a little “improvisasi” I practiced, inspired by Mutterbeweisen's discovery.

The blood of a Malaakh Daemon. There are unique characteristics I found out about him. Although the magic that can be spiked in my blood is very weak, but when met with the blood of others, it can resonate with the Mana of that person. The reaction then amplified the magic I established, spreading throughout the victim's body and increasing it many times over.

When combined with healing magic, then my blood can become the most patent medicine in the world. But when combined with destructive or illusory magic, it is the most deadly poison.

So that the illusion magic is very weak.. Now it has turned into a mind parasite that continues to spread noise in their ears, “That person is the Moon Princess.”.

Fire also emerged from the bodies of each knight, burning their skin and organs. A phenomenon that only happens to a witch who rashly, using magic beyond the capacity of her body. Overheating. One by one the knights fell down, as I approached them and noticed the interesting phenomenon that occurred.

Kusayat carotid of a person and saw the fire of magma flowing from him, “Ohwhat happened here? Is the Overheat reaction also in my blood amplification?” I said, who then saw the other eleventh blood, all the flames that were constantly burning their bodies, “Hmm. Everyone who receives my blood will be burned by magic in his own body?”

“hahahahaahh!! What'sthis?! How interesting!” my laughter that saw my own hand, “True, that's right! What kind of monster am I? It's worth it, Mutter wants to kill me!” I continued who then grabbed my long hair.

“... But, I can't die Mutter first.… Because, the Moon will prove to you,” I said who then cut my hair short and gave it to the charcoal of the corpse in front of my feet.

Ah, if I don't accept Ma Dame Krista's request, how long can I still pretend to be Mutter's son? Is it until the last second that I can always be by his side, even if never seen? Until when can I maintain it, the illusionary magic that binds our destiny?

My shadow slowly hugged me from behind. The shadow gently stroked my head with his cold hand. The black roots grew over my body, spreading black flowers with red eyes that looked at me gently. Now everything seems clear. Why did Mutter treat me harshly and coldly, but didn't want to let me go and always monitored me at Noctis's. All are just big illusions that bind our destiny, Family Games that only hurt our hearts.

Ah, why should I wake up from that illusion and realize my true figure?

Why was it that even though the painful illusion disappeared, my heart was still slashed by the stifling shard of hope?

The shadow approached my ear and whispered to her, “Meine Dotter.

I took off my dress and traded it for one of the corpse charcoal there. I tightened my belt and sheathed a black sword to him. Uniting with my shadow, I stepped into the forest.

With a cynical smile, I muttered, “What face will you show me, if the monster you want to kill will save the world? Oh Mutter.”

Pei Jin Free City, August 1647

Nao, the elf had finished off a box of tissue to wipe away her tears. Not so enjoy coffee, the fairy actually really listened to my story. With tears still flowing he immediately hugged my index finger and bothered me to drink tea.

“Ma Dame Claiir! I'm sorry, huee huee!! Nao never knew Ma Dame had a past as dark as that, huhuu,” whining.

“U-Uh, I guess my story is not as sad as that deh,” said I who nudged the fairy away in order to sip my delicious tea,

“Intinya, that's the reason why I'm very heavy to carry out my duties in Clariyastra. You see, it is my goal to save the world, but for someone who has never known love like me, a terrible monster, how can provide warmth for the refugees of war?”.

“T-But, but once Ma Dame Fan has said it, no one can resist it. Not even a wizard as powerful as Dame!” said Nao who then flew and sat on my shoulder, “But, but, isn't this a chance for Dame?”

“Acclocation?” my question was answered with the cheerful fairy nod.

“Research says that unlike Daemons that can live alone for hundreds of years, a human will die if it lives alone for several years. That's why they always live in groups and unite their strength,” explained Nao showed off his vast knowledge as the guardian of this library for a hundred years, he said,

“Uniqueness is what drives humans initially superior during the war and become the de facto ruler of this continent.. before losing a terrible one year ago.”.

Fold my hand and furrow my eyebrows, “Terus?”

“Nao always curious. What exactly is the power that allows humans from various tribes, can unite.maybe one of those powers is the Love that Dame meant, although never understood it, may be,” said Nao who also jumped and mixed sugar cubes on his coffee,

“In other words, if Dame wants to feel and learn love. There is no place more ideal than among men. Because Daemons only know about empathy and harmony, but passionate feelings like love don't even exist in language dictionaries. We have our own way of interpreting that feeling of love that is much different from humans.”

“U-Uh...didn't you hear my story? I told you, I used to be a human princess too,” I said.

“At that time and probably until now, Ma Dame was too focused on getting love from her mother. But as a learned wizard like Dame, you should understand. Free hope to get love from someone who does not even consider Dame,” said Nao who immediately sipped his coffee until his stomach was distended once, said Nao,

“Nao wants Ma Dame to open her eyes to see and receive love from the world around you,” he continued who gave a thumbs up and smiled grimacingly at me.

I took a long breath and touched the sotoy fairy, “Basic, don't be wise before me, Ma Dame Nao."

Rubbing her head in annoyance, the elf who was one of Pei Jin's high magicians also rebuked me, “Ih, where's the smart ass from? Gini-gini, I've lived a lot longer than Ma Dame huh! Basic young people today, have no respect for their elders.”

Laugh at me who then put cheeks on my hands. Hmm, open your eyes and receive love from the world around? Was the love I expected from Arthur also included…? It seems that the intention of Nao the wise is not that. There may be past traumas that become chains for me to be able to see it.

That maybe the world I saw in this dinin and gray, was more beautiful.

“Omong-by the way, the assistant that the big lady promised has come from earlier. Through telepathy he had told me his business with the patient was done,” said Nao who also flew to the door, “Include, starting today, this talented magician will be Ma Dame's assistant running the mission at Clariyastra! Please do not be bullied yes, Dame!”

Scroll my eyes towards the door and find a very familiar figure behind it. I took a deep breath, knowing that old lady I should have realized. Smiling awkwardly I also said to the woman who used to be ‘kubkill’,

“For a long time, Lumina Aivelstadt... or rather, now you are called Lumina Oedellia?”

After bowing deeply to me, Lumina stood up straight smiling cheerfully and said, “Please her guidance from today, Princess Noctis!”
