Hero lovers: The red string of fate

Hero

Everyone can be a hero 
But
Not everyone can be a 'hero'

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom of light that the goddess of light directly blessed. The son of the goddess is a king of the kingdom and leads the kingdom with authority and responsibility. 

Blessings by the goddess, a wise king, fertile land, and a prosperous life made the kingdom flourish and were respected by the surrounding kingdom. Just like the rest of history, the son of the goddess of light, the king of the kingdom was a hero who brought the kingdom out of the dark era.

Now, do you think the story is about the history of the light kingdom? Nah, no darling. 

Because now we will talk about the golden era, the light era. One hundred years later, after the establishment of the Light Kingdom, the kingdom is finally in its golden age.

But, wherever it is, the light always has a shadow, the light always has a darkness, and the light always needs a dark because light and dark are like two sides of a coin. Opposite but inseparable.

Now, is the time for the king, for the hero to show his majesty once again. 

A king,  a hero who will sacrifice anything for his kingdom and the world.

The sky was red, desperate screams echoed in the sky and the blackening ground still did not deter the man from charging forward and cutting down anyone who stood in his way. 

Until his golden eyes caught a woman lying helplessly on another man's lap, making him stop his steps instantly.

"You! You killed her!!" In that desperate roar, two eyes of the same color collided. 

One the eyes of full of hatred, and the other eyes full of despair.

"Because of you, she is dead!!"

"I can be your shadows, be your darkness, and be the villain destined for a hero like you!!  and I can give you anything you want But, not her. She is the only reason I'm alive!"

Those hateful eyes did not fear even though the man in front of him came slowly toward him dragging the bloodied sword.

"Kill me!!! Kill me, Lucien!!! Kill your 'villain!!'"

Srrat....

The head fell rolling on the blackened ground leaving a fountain of blood on the body that was slowly losing its balance, leaving Lucien in a pool of blood that soaked his body and the woman's body that the man was still holding tightly.

Lucien looked up, staring at the reddened sky with a despairing look. "I have done my duty, I have saved the world like a real hero."

Lucien fell to his knees looking at the woman, he slowly moved her body to his lap, wiping the blood on her face, and brought his face close to the woman's ear.  

"I love you," He says slowly, "And please forgive me, forgive me for loving you.... Ashley"

He put Ashley's body back on the ground and took out a dagger that was kept in his pants, the dagger with the rose pattern on the hilt was the same dagger that the woman had given. The dagger that seemed to have become his protective talisman would now be used to kill himself.

"You're right Father, A hero cannot fall in love with anyone, so now after I saved the world that couldn't save me, I rather die."

He raised the dagger high and stabbed his heart once.

"Goodbye my world, your hero has done his duty."

Crack...
