Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 6: The Feelings of the Left Behind

Hearing Lucy's statement that was successful at that time created silence between them. Immediately the man got up and pulled the nape of the girl in haste. He looked at the brown netra that was poured with sadness in it, the girl did not lie with her words.

But why Lucy? What kind of heavy feeling is this. Why am I not willing to hear those words spoken on your lips?

“Even if you don't love me, our engagement can never be canceled. Because I would never agree to it, just remember it.” press him who shortly then turned to leave him.

Lucy with a feeling of rage is now sitting on the floor with her fingers that block the man's ankle. With a face filled with despair, he begged with all his might.

“Why? Please let me go.. Your Majesty has never loved me. Would not a marriage based without love never make our lives happy?” asked the girl with a sad feeling, she felt that living and moving away from the Crown Prince's sight was the best choice for her.

After all, since the year he lived here, Reygan never showed his earnestness behind Lucy's rejection of him.

The man turned his head while gritting his teeth sharply. He felt annoyed at Lucy who begged even to kneel before his feet just because he wanted this engagement to be canceled immediately. Now he knelt down and stared deeply at his brown net which looked teary.

He slipped a few strands of his blonde hair in his ear then whispered sharply, “Lucy, to me you are a treasure of great value. I can't let you go to another man even if you want to part with me, right with what you said. You are a great foundation for the kingdom, so I hope you understand until here.” whispers ended the petty smile on his face.

His hand was raised to gently rub the mane of the girl. He smiled deeply, “While life beside me is not that bad as Lucy, I can even give anything in this world just for you. It's never stopping for you to try to beg for love with me, so what makes you change your mind now, Lucy?” the man asked with a very astonished feeling.

He felt annoyed when he realized something warm had suddenly disappeared from his sight. Where are you who always smile warmly when you look at me? Lucy..

The girl turned away accompanied by her smile that looked slick, “You are still the same Your Majesty.” her chilling chant. The girl's face was slightly pensive when she realized that Reygan had never intended to let go.

The brown net is a little vibrating every time you hear the word for word that the man chanted without thinking about his feelings, “Difficult yes, Rean.” said the girl who managed to make the man's gaze rounded in shock. Lucy has been calling her nickname since childhood.

“Rean! Ehehe..” little girl calls accompanied by her wide laughter filled with affection.

The look of the grown girl now only radiates hatred for her, in her heart she regrets making the girl who is so sincere in love with her that she turns this hateful when she looks into her eyes every time.

He knows this well. That, “I hate you so much, Your Honor.” he continued accompanied by a flat face when looking into his eyes.

I know. so..

“I don't care, I came this time to let you know that in the future you will stay at the palace of Chatalia. I'll give you some time for a few days, so be prepared.” he said sharply. He then got up and looked at her with a strange feeling.

“Actually why do you hate me like this Lucy?” ask her with a face that is difficult to interpret.

You ask? Why don't you ask yourself..

The girl simply turned her face away even until the man completely disappeared from her sight. Flona, who finds Reygan gone, enters the room in shock, and sees Lucy in a mess.

The girl just staggered daydreaming with her hands shaking from the burns of Reygan's previous actions. Her white hands blistered leaving a reddish mark thanks to the hot tea water that flushed the skin of her hands.

“Actually what did the Crown Prince do to you?!” the girl was really worried. Lucy was still silent.

Until his face lifted and looked at Flona's face with a feeling of wanting to cry.

“Flona, do I have to die.” he said in a poignant tone.

“Nona.” The servant-clothed girl just lowered her head and did not know what to react to.

The fact that until now I only knew something so big a secret that it could hurt my own feelings. It is with a heavy heart that I say something that should never be said in my mouth, with this feeling that I no longer love her, but this feeling of contradiction really torments me.

At least if you send me to this world, remove your feelings left behind in this body.how much I hate it. In the end even to death you will only still force me to love him.. Lucy..

The girl only sobbed with a cry that had broken in Flona's arms, her heart heaving and bitter as she felt that their feelings could be connected like this. He felt claustrophobic when he had to feel how much he suffered when he received all the bad Reygan's treatment and words to him.

I never thought Reygan really meant so much to your life. Why should I be able to feel that much love for her Lucy..

The day passed with not so friendly weather. As if he could hear the sound of his heart being torn apart, the sky seemed cloudy as the rain fell down on the earth. Lucy was just silent contemplating behind the window reflected by the rain water there.

“My desire to cancel this engagement is really not doable.” His complaints without passion.

There was actually one way that their engagement could be annulled, with the Crown Prince tearing off their covenant magic paper. But the Crown Prince would not be so kind as to grant his request just like that.

“If it's like this. I have to choose another plan, I don't want to die.” he said who did not want to resign just like that.

If thought carefully, Lucy died because she had done evil and became an antagonist in the novel, in the end she died because of getting the evil accusations attached to her cruel attitude all this time.

“Means I just need to use the last plan, if this deal is inevitable, I just need to be indifferent when Your Majesty will love Sheyra like in Novel.” said he who really thought about this seriously.

Then I just need to think of a way to avoid the charges at my wedding. But how..

The ending of the novel revolves around Reygan's happy life with Sheyra who has passed through a difficult time in her life. Lucy the antagonist only ends up with the name recorded in history as the most evil woman of the century.

Though the girl only hopes that Reygan can appreciate her efforts with time that slowly makes the man realize that Lucy's feelings are really sincere to him. But all he received after the affair from the man he loved was pain that ended in death.

The reason he died was because of the accusation as a dark wizard, which is when Lucy had made her solemn promise with Reygan. Sheyra who was sitting on the audience bench became sprawled due to the dark magic that attacked her soul.

This statement was believed when the tower witch examined it and found traces of dark magic on Sheyra's body.

“Haha, so they accuse Lucy because she is also a witch?” his laughter sounded so crisp as he tried to recall the ending of the novel.

Lucy seems to be the prime suspect because people just believe that until the end the woman will never stop to do evil.

“What a terrible end.” he said very slowly.

So who is really behind all this? Actually who tried to hurt Sheyra with that dark magic? Is this just a coincidence? Why the person who had to be hit by the attack was Sheyra from the many nobles who had come to watch their wedding ceremony..

“According to the prophecy of the holy temple since a few years ago, a dark wizard will be reborn. Like his monstrous nickname, the witch had to be annihilated. If not, then this kingdom will be wiped out.” thought the girl who really felt tired.

He was tired when he had to think of something that was not even discussed in the book Novel.

Then one thing that has been very disturbing his mind so far, there is something that is very deviant from the storyline of this novel.

That is a pretty strange change about the characteristics of Sheyra, she is a character that is described as very graceful, sweet, innocent and very kind. Even when Lucy oppresses him even though he will only smile and accept Lucy's actions freely.

“Then why, I felt for one year that he was deliberately provoking a showdown with me, whether at a party or at another meeting, he always insinuated and even criticized loudly about me in public.. what is a protagonist?” ask her confused.

He looked down at me towards the soles of his feet that touched the floor. “He does not behave like a protagonist as in general, I prefer to judge him as an antagonist if this is the case.” he continued accompanied by an uncomfortable feeling.

The reason Lucy is suspected of being a dark wizard is because she is also a genius magician with the best graduates in her class.

Then for punishment by being burned is the proper punishment for a witch, because after all the punishment for a witch of darkness is to die by being burned alive.

Lucy now gazing at her blistered hands from burns last night, she was seen laughing when she saw a golden light appear and heal her burns slowly.

“I can recover this wound quickly.” His chant with a serious face, he felt a positive aura flowing down his body. Lucy only feels that the power she has is not magic that comes from darkness.

So if I was a pure witch, was that real witch of darkness?
