The lonely princess last wish

The grand finale part two: dont save her she doesn't want to be saved

"Lucas" athanasia turned around and met the man she was hoping to reunite with, Lucas looked down seeing her appearance, he didn't think she would look so ill, her hair was that shined brighter than the sun was now dull and colorless, her eyes were no longer bright as it once was, she looked so pale and thin that a small nudge could cause her to collapse, but to his eyes she was still beautiful as she once way

" you look terrible" Lucas said then internally cursing himself at his words, they stayed quiet not knowing what to say, time stayed still, Lucas sighed and turned around ready to leave, he doesn't even know why he bothered to come and look at the woman who took his heart and shattered it

" well goodbye-"

" wait, don't go" Athanasia interrupted Lucas stayed still with his back already turned around from her refusing to look at her

" i-love you" Athanasia quietly said, she wanted to tell him the truth and say her feelings once last time before the gods take her away once again on her eighteen birthday

Lucas scoffed disbelief by words, she says she doesn't love him and was only using his love and loyalty for her own gain but then turn around and say those words he once told her, does she wished to see him suffer before she leaves him like his master

" you're so full of shit-"

" I mean it Lucas, I do love you, I always did but I was too much like a coward to admit it" Athanasia admitted her wrongs, Lucas then turned around and faced her, Athanasia who looked at him with an awkward expression as she really didn't know how to react in these sorts of things

" then if you loved me, you wouldn't leave me" Lucas said to her, Athanasia chuckled disappointingly

" you know I can't do that" she said Lucas scoffed once again and turned back ready to leave till she stopped him once again

" you gave me your heart and you wished for me to hand it back to you but I can't Lucas, it's selfish and cruel I know, but how can I hand you your heart when you have mine" Lucas looked stunned and bewildered by her words Athanasia decided to continue

" at first I will admit I was only using you and I felt angry at you for taking my mana when I was young because I thought if I had my mana maybe i would've lived longer but I thought of it and it was hopeless because I probably would've died either way, I fell in love with you during our first night together, remember when we were drunk and-"

" we were talking about our families and how much we were outsiders, then you kissed me then well you know" Lucas answered

" i saw how much you looked hurt talking about yours and my only at thought at the moment was how can I erase those hurt eyes and how beautiful your eyes were, that's when I knew I was starting to fall on love with you,everyday day my love for you bloomed more and more that I thought maybe I finally had will to live, that maybe you and I could leave everything behind and be a family with theor and have our own children together later on, but in the end my memories and feelings never left me and it only gotten worse"

" how come you didn't tell me, I would've fix you!" Lucas went up to her, he held her shoulders desperately as if he was going to lose her right this minute

" let me finish" Athanasia sighed lucas stayed quiet letting her continue

" I hate the gods for making me this way, even though I love you, my love for you doesn't exceed the self loathing I have for being alive, I just can't live anymore, I just no longer have the will to live, and if you truly loved me you will understand and let me just die" they stared quiet

" would you wait for me" Lucas asked her, athanasia smiled and weakly took his hand

" find me, I'll always wait for you, maybe fate cut our lives short but we will find each other again, and finally be together" she smiled
