Obey Me

26. A place to Return

[T/N: Hello readers! This chapter was very hard to translate, if there is any mistranslation I seek your forgiveness, thank you and please enjoy ^^]

Kyrie deliberately left the capital on foot without taking a carriage. She didn't have a lot of luggage. She knew she could get the world too if needed, so she didn't have to hold anything in her hand.

Just like Nathaniel.

Even the luggage she had was shrunk and put in her pocket, and her hands were as light as two feet.

"Please provide your identity."

The only thing holding her up, was the gatekeeper in charge of the gates, Kyrie took off her robe over her head and showed her face and he saluted her right at her.

"Excuse me."

"Thank you for your effort."

Kyrie, who had completely left Cel Arellano, looked at the unfurled path. She could go anywhere.

"where should I go......"

Kyrie muttered.

She didn't have the courage to see the sea yet. So she walked to the west.

Then, when she encountered a very beautiful, beautiful tree, she sat under it without a plan.

Days went by and she's just sitting there.

She sat in the shade of a tree, watching the sun rise in the sky, the setting sun, the night, the stars, and the moving celestial bodies. Meanwhile, no one called her. People gave her a long glance, but she ignored it and passed by.

Kyrie smiled and rested her head on a wooden pole. She owes nothing now. Nathaniel had truly taken all her responsibility. Now it has come true.

Kyrie got up again and she walked along the river. She stopped when she was tired. When she was hungry, she picked up something and ate. She sang without accompaniment, and she danced because she wanted to dance. When she was bored, she crossed the river, and climbed up the tree for nothing. She found out that she was more of a playful person than she thought.

Time passed without meaning to her.

As time passed, the joy finally subsided, and she realised that she was at the bottom.

It was a dreadful and distant loneliness.

Unlike before, Kyrie, who was able to light a bonfire with one of her fingers, sat in the forest off the road and watched the Milky Way flowing in the sky. She was a little displeased when she remembered the piercing blue eyes, but she let it pass.

Then she remembered Leschaux

〔This is the last one. Kyrie Buchanan. Decide. Will you remain human, or will you transcend humans?〕

She did not regret the choice at that time. Even if she feels a little lonely right now, if she goes back, she will make the same choice.

So, I have to bear the snow and rain that fall on my shoulders.

Nevertheless, since she was also a human being, Kyrie would at times struggle with loneliness, turning her back and seeing her own shadow.

She had no choice but to be born that way. When she is tired of walking alone, it is a person who inevitably leans under the eaves of other people's houses. On a night when the tears do not stop, it is people who openly seek the moonlight.

(T/N: eaves- the part of a roof that meets or overhangs the walls of a building.)

'Maybe Nathaniel was like that....'
