Deathless: The Lost Princess

Chapter 12: Akira's dead?

"What do you mean by that?" I asked Kent after he told me what his plan is.

 "Oh, you know what I meant, Akira. From now on, you will disappear from this world. That is needed for my plan," he said. I felt nervous when he said that I should disappear from this world.

"Is...... is... is that really necessary that I need to.... I need to.... I need to..... die?" I asked him. What could I expect? To disappear means to die, right?

He looked at me for a while. It looks like his reconsidering my death. Please, let him change his mind.

"Yes, it is necessary for you to die. That is the meaning of disappear, right? I'm giving you 2 choices. It's either you will let me kill you or you will run and I'll chase you. What will you choose?" he replied after a moment of silence.

He looked at me as if he's in favor of both, I suppose. Oh well, here goes nothing. "Ehh..... Ummm.... *let out a deep sigh* ok then. Kill me," I said.

He smiled at me and announced, "Great. Now, you shall die!"

"Suzuki, what are you doing here?" I asked him when he entered the room. I'm sure he had heard the sound of shattering glasses from here.

"What did you do!!!!" he shouted when he saw what I have done.

Well, I just destroyed the Academy's most precious flower that is preserved inside a glass case. That indicates the life of Akira. Now that it is destroyed, it only means that Akira is already dead.

But.... I am not really the one who destroyed it. It just suddenly fell.

"But... I'm not the one who did that. It just fell to the ground by itself," I told him. It seems like he don't believe.

"I don't believe you," he stated.

I let out a deep sigh and said, "Why would I do that? Isn't it like I killed her? I don't want to kill her or to lose her. I have learned to love her. Why wouldn't you believe me?"
