Legend of the Moon Crystal

Chapter 148 "Remain Forever" [Volume 3 End]

Eighteenth Day, Second Month, Spring

Amore was sitting in a flower garden along with several maids and Callisto who was also calmly sitting next to him. Several guards appeared to be on guard, guaranteeing the safety of the prince and the princess from any lurking danger.

The girl was playing with the bouquet she made. His pair of manic that was the color of the sky looked gently at the flowers in his hand, and a bright smile was always attached to his lips that were the color of peaches.

"When Charles's brother wears the royal crown when Charles's brother is crowned later, I will also attach a special flower crown to Listo's sister."

Callisto who was sitting next to him looked at Amore and revealed a gentle smile filled with affection. "Sister Charles will wear the crown because of his success in ascending the royal throne. I'm still a prince, so, what success did I make to deserve a flower from an angel like you?"

"The success of having conquered the heart of an angel like me."

Amore's answer made Callisto laugh. Not laughter, not sarcasm. His laughter was so pure and sincere, filled with happiness that he could not express in words, as if the whole world was embracing him that the warmth in his heart spread and looked up to his soul. The bright smile that was fluttering on his beautiful face showed clearly how much he was very happy to hear what the younger brother had just said.

"You're really an angel, yeah."

Amore grinned cheerfully at Callisto's statement before saying, "So long as I really love Listo."

Not yet had time to open his voice again, there was a big explosion that made Amore scream when without realizing Callisto immediately held Amore into his arms. The girl covered her ears due to the shock she felt. The blast came from the west side of the palace not far from where Amore and Callisto were located.

The guard immediately put on a watchful attitude while the servant immediately knelt beside Amore and asked him about his condition anxiously. "Daughter, is princess okay?"

"Gosh, what was that explosion?"

Callisto immediately checked on Amore. "Amore, are you okay?"

Amore with a broken movement nodded. He was only shocked by the explosion, but Amore was unharmed and only surprised for some time. His eyes looked far away at the kingdom and with a gaze full of shock and anxiety asked Callisto.

"Sister, what, what just happened? The explosion came from the palace, didn't it? What about father and mother? What about Charles."

Callisto clasped his hands and calmed Amore down. "Hey, it's okay. Look brother, nothing will happen with father, mother and brother Charles. Brother will inspect the palace, you wait here together with the servants and guards."

"I'm coming!"

Callisto immediately shook his head. The explosion in the kingdom meant that there was an attack on the palace. If so, Amore's safest place right now is here, so Amore won't be hurt if he comes to the palace.

"wait here. He promised to return soon. Understood?"

Seeing Callisto's gaze, Amore inevitably nodded his head and let Callisto stand when a servant grabbed him to keep him calm and safe. Callisto orders the guards to protect Amore.

"Protect the princess no matter what."

After staring at Amore for a few seconds, Callisto used teleportation magic and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a faint beam of light that then disappeared being blown away by the cold and sharp wind. Amore stared ahead with an eye that was difficult to describe. Her feelings were extremely uneasy, and Amore never liked that kind of feeling to perch in her heart.

...***...

When Callisto set foot in the palace grounds, there was chaos and commotion going on. The sound of the clanking of swords and the clash of magic occurred. His royal soldiers and foreign warriors were struggling to lose their lives and were wounded in battle. Her bead widened, and she drew her sword while looking back and forth to find someone she knew.

In the palace courtyard, the father was swinging his sword to subvert his enemy. While on the balcony, the mother was using her magic to heal the wounded Emerald royal warrior.

"Damn!"

Callisto wordlessly intervened immediately, swinging his sword and fighting the intruders who infiltrated his kingdom. His mind wandered as he looked at the symbols on their clothes. It was a symbol of the kingdom of Arbel.

"So Arbel betrayed? Has not the father promised them protection and even the two kingdoms have cooperated? Why did the kingdom of Arbel betray the kingdom of Emerald and attack?!"

Callisto was busy swinging his sword as he forcefully slashed at the enemy before him.

...***...

His footsteps were shaken as Amore ran towards the palace. He looked back with fear and anxiety. Amore no matter what he stepped on, whether sharp rocks or sharp twigs, Amore just wanted to immediately seek help.

Some time after Callisto left, Amore was still waiting together with his servants and guards. But while he was waiting, one by one his guards fell down with blood flowing from holes in their heads and bodies. Amore screamed in fear and ran with his servant, but all his servants and guards were wounded. Amore kept running because of their request to seek help and to protect himself.

Moving into the gate, Amore's bead widened when he found a battle that made his body shudder and tremble in fear. His bead stared in shock and tremors in his eyes as it grew as the clanking of swords rang out clearly beside him.

Amore clenched his hands and dashed through the crowd, hoping that they were unaware of his plight as he ran in search of the whereabouts of someone he knew.

"Calisto! Where're you?!"

Ten minutes running, Amore finds Callisto's whereabouts slashing at the enemy along with the royal warlord who accompanies him. A glimmer of hope appeared in Amore's heart when he found Callisto. He ran to Callisto and called his name. "Callisto!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Callisto turned his head and found Amore walking quickly towards him. Callisto immediately pushed and subdued the enemy before turning around and was about to run towards Amore.

"more! Why are you here?!"

"Didn't I tell you to wait there? It's dangerous!"

Amore answered. "But all the guards and servants, ma-eh?"

Just as Callisto was about to grab Amore, a deep red blood splashed onto his face and body. Callisto's bead was fouled, and he was petrified, watching the girl's body in front of him being pierced by a sharp arrow from behind, right on his chest. The girl trembled, extending a hand towards him as if calling out with blood flowing from the gap of her lips. His pair of sweets trembled before Amore fell and sat down, accompanied by hysterical screams that slid from Callisto's lips.

"Amore!!!"

In the lap of Callisto who was still trying to keep Amore's consciousness still there, Amore faintly felt a chill run through his body. His gaze was fixed on Callisto's pias and despair that made Amore feel an overwhelming sadness in his heart. As Amore reached out slowly towards Callisto's cheek, he slowly wiped away the shed tears, from a pair of boy beads that swore to never cry.

"This is the end, huh?"

Then with a gentle and relieved final smile, Amore closed his eyes, and breathed his last.

"Aarghhhhhh!!!!"

The screams of despair he let out, illustrated how devastated he felt. He placed Amore gently under the tree, attached a protective barrier to it and raised back his blood-stained sword after wiping away his tears. The look in his predatory eyes meant that he was ready to be an angel of death to fetch the deaths of all those who were there.

...***...

"Callisto! Stopit! It's over!"

Hugging Amore's lifeless body, Eurasell shouted Callisto who was still continuously swinging his sword, slashing and even chopping the bodies of even lifeless enemies. The young man no longer looked like Callisto. His blood-filled body that was either blood from his own body or not, only left behind a cold green eye filled with killing and crushing will, even though they had already won.

Even though he won.

He fell to his knees. The sword in his hand slid and slammed into the ground.

Everyone knows that Callisto has reached the end. He fought like a doormat and destroyed every inch of the enemy's body he fought and did not even give the slightest pity from killing. Just slashing and slashing were what satisfied him.

"Come take the prince to treatment!"

A doctor told his assistant to immediately rescue Callisto.

"Stay away from me!"

But Callisto sharply jerked their hands. Standing limped and stumbling toward the place where his family had gathered, surrounded their angels who were no longer able to display their smiles. Eurasell looked at his son who was swept towards Amore and could not hold back his tears. He sobbed, but could do nothing but hug Amore.

Every step he took caused a bloodbath. His foot carried a streak of iron-smelling blood and smelled of death, every move he took leading him to the pain that it felt killing him. Callisto doesn't care.

He fell down, lying beside Amore. His face was covered in blood, and his pair of dead eyes stared at Amore's peaceful face.

Callisto slowly extended his hand, and grasped Amore's cold hand that would never again be warm. In the end, it's all over.

"Callisto?"

Charles, who had realized Callisto's inertia, fell. Stretched out his hand and touched his body before his eyes faded. When the doctor checked on Callisto, there was only one he could say. "The prince has passed away the lap of the god."

...***...

"Say, what did you want to say just now? Why not talk?"

"Son Listo, I'm dreaming."

"the dream? What dreams?"

"The dream that I and Listo's brother, will last forever, will be together forever."

"It wasn't a dream, Amore. Brother, will always be together and will always love you. We'll be together forever."

...***...

Drop by drop flowed back after hours had passed. A pair of slender hands rubbed the tears on the girl's cheeks. Slowly, Iloania opened her eyes. Featuring a pair of golden beads that sparkled with tears.

His gaze was deep, but rippled like a storm that could break corals.

The girl stood up, with a bright glint in her silver eyes.

"Callist."
