My Lazy Prince

Chapter 24

CHAPTER 24 = GOODBYE MY PRINCE

(Y/N's POV)

"Please forget me" 

Before I could reply, I was pushed to the ground.

When I opened my eyes, I saw flames surround Doma.

"DOMA!!!" 

I got up and started running towards him. But I felt something block me. It was like an invisible barrier was in front of me.

"No, no, no, no!!!" I started banging on the barrier immediately. "PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME!"

"Please forget me, my diligent wife." He softly whispered.

"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE, DOMA! Please…" I said, repeatedly banging on the invisible barrier.

The fire started engulfing him, as I screamed for him to take me with him. Tears started rolling down his face. All of a sudden, tears started running down my face as well.

"I love you, (Y/N)-chan." He said, smiling.

I stopped banging on the barrier, while I looked at him.  "I love you too, you idiot! I promise I won't forget you! Even if I get reincarnated a hundred times! I will still love you! I will love you every second and every minute of my life!"

He smiled, and this time...it was an actual smile. Not a fake one. Not a forced one. It was an actual genuine smile.

"Goodbye, my diligent wife." 

The fire fully consumed him, as he disappeared into nothing. The flames disappeared, as I was left alone in the darkness of nothing.

I dropped to the ground, feeling the invisible barrier was no longer there. I placed my hand on my mouth, as the tears dripped on the ground. I sobbed, as I gripped my kimono.

I hate this. I feel cold. I feel so empty.

"Please don't cry, Ms. (Y/N)." I heard Kagaya say, as he rubbed my back. I gasped and looked at him, as he gave me a gentle smile. "I believe he wouldn't want to see you cry, right now."

I looked back at the ground, "He would have wanted me to smile, right?...Heh, he would."

I smiled and got up. I smiled confidently at Kagaya. He nodded, while I nodded back. We turned around and began to walk to the others who were behind us.

"Let's go, Okaasan." Kyojuro said, holding out his hand. I nodded and took his hand. 

We all began to walk towards the shining light. I guess that's Heaven. 

Before I stepped into the light, I looked back to the dark emptiness of nothing. I smiled and looked back at the bright light ahead of me.

"Goodbye, my lazy prince."
