chapter 64

2‐16

　I could only cling to Louis-sama, whose eyes were tightly closed, and I could only cry.
　Fear and despair chilled my whole body, and my lips trembled. But right now I can't afford to worry about such things.

　――At this rate… at this rate, Louis-sama…

　I felt as if my eyes were enveloped in pitch-black darkness, and my hands unconsciously tightened. Consciousness becomes hazy, and the heart screams.
　
　But then.
　
"Stop"

　The hand that strongly grabbed my shoulder brought me back to my senses and raised my head. There was a wrinkled brow and the appearance of Theodore-sama with an unprecedentedly stern face.

"Full of magic"
"Lord Theodore...but..."
“If you use that power, Louis’ body will break.
"...Then, what should I do...how can Louis-sama wake up..."

　In response to my question, Theodor-sama deepened the wrinkles between his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and shook his head.

　--Wh-that's it! Even Lord Theodore can't do anything?

"That's a lie... a lie, right? Louis-sama, wake up. Shall we wake up and go back to our country together?"
"... Miss Rachelle"
"If you stay by my side all the time... if I stay with you... hey, Louis-sama. Louis-sama..."

　With a smile that Louis-sama always said that he liked, I shook his shoulder gently. I'm sure I can't make a smile right now, but if Louis-sama reacts even a little. I will do anything if possible.
　
　When I was having a hard time, Louis-sama always hugged me.
　She stood by me when I was in pain.
　Because you are here, I became strong. Because of you, I was able to stand up straight all the time.

　I love you. Only Louis.
　that's why…….

"Please, please... wake up. Open your eyes."

　I firmly grasp Louis-sama's hand with both hands and rub my forehead as if praying.
　However, Louis-sama, lying down with her eyes tightly closed, never smiled at me as usual. He doesn't even look at me with dazzling eyes.
　She doesn't shake her shoulders and laugh out loud, nor does she call my name "Rachel" in a dignified voice.
　However, he closed his eyes in a deep sleep and did not even shake his eyelashes on his own.

　No, no... Please don't take Louis-sama with you. don't take it away from me
　In fear of losing Louis-sama, I clung to Louis-sama's chest without even hearing the voices around me. Then, a heartbeat echoes in my ears.

　It's weak and slow, but Louis-sama is alive at this moment.
　desperately trying to live

“No, no, I can’t do anything like this. That’s a lie.
Master Theodore… Mr. Ricardo… something… can you somehow help Master Louis?”
"... I'm sorry... I'm sorry."
　
　His Highness Ricardo bit his lips tightly and made a sad expression. However, without being able to say words of kindness to His Highness Ricardo, I hung my head helplessly.

　I went back in time and started my life over again. She saw the true face of Louis-sama, which she had never tried to see before, and she fell in love. At the same time she knew the vastness and beauty of the world. She was blessed with the protection of the Black Spirit King.
　In spite of the fact that in this new life I have obtained many things that I never had in the past, I am no match for wielding that power against my one and only irreplaceable loved one.

　I can't even protect one important person... why do I have magical powers?
　I've felt helpless many times, but have I ever been more angry with myself than now?
　I stared at my trembling hands and then covered my face with them. Is there any way I can help Louis-sama?
　Please. Please help me. And all I can do is wish for a miracle.

"Louis, what is it... It's a bad thing to always try to do something by yourself. If you're gone, who will protect Miss Rachelle? Who will make the country rich? You still have a long way to go. Nothing has begun, your happiness is yet to come, and your wedding with Miss Rachel is just about to come, and since you're talking about me, I'm afraid I'll say I'm designing a dress again...and many children. I am blessed with many grandchildren. You and I have wrinkled faces and white hair.”

　Theodore-sama squats down on the bedside opposite where I sit and peers into Louis-sama's face. Despite his pained and somewhat frustrated expression, the tone of Theodore-sama's gentle voice made me sob that I couldn't stand it anymore.

“My life wasn’t so bad, even when I become an old man, we’ll joke around together. If you don't..."

　Lord Theodore's voice gradually became quieter, and at the end he whispered, "I'm lonely."
　Even the pleas of his best friend were in vain, Louis-sama didn't even move a finger. Theodore clenched his fist tightly to endure it, and said, “Sorry.

　Before I knew it, there were no people around me. I heard His Highness Ricardo clearing people from behind. But right now I didn't have the luxury of worrying about it.
　Kuro was the only one who didn't leave Louis-sama's bedside and licked his forehead while crying "meow" sadly.

　I don't know how long it's been. Is it seconds or minutes? Or more. The room resounds with my screaming voice that can only call Louis-sama's name.

　I can't think of anything, and I even feel like I'm being dragged into the darkness by helplessness and despair.
　The only thing that supports it is Louis-sama's warmth.
　If I lose even that, I don't know what will happen to me. I don't even want to think about it.

　At that time, Kuro twitched his ears and jumped off the bed. He puts it in the corner of her vision, lifting his ill-opened eyelids.
　Then, I saw someone standing ahead of Kuro.

　Slowly raise your gaze.

　There, a person who shouldn't have been here was sitting calmly in a chair. As I opened my eyes to the limit and lost my voice in amazement, the person smiled happily.

"Well, I've come to pick you up. It's time for a fun game

　The person in front of me said that with a bright voice that was not suitable for the atmosphere of this place, and snapped his fingers lightly.
　That person was without a doubt the Black Spirit King who had the same overwhelming presence as when I met him in that forest.
