I will destroy this novel (wmmap)

The Devil's goal

"I'LL tell you anything you want in return tell me, why the mastermind is aiming for my death?"

Rei looked away avoiding her eyes.
"Will you really tell me anything I want?" Lucille nodded as she looked serious at him. "I'll no matter what you ask, I'll answer it."

Rei chuckled. "Then, tell me. How did you know about the Sacrifice flower?"
Lucille wasn't surprised by that question, she expected to be asked by him, Claude or Felix.

For Claude and Felix, she was going to put some excuse but for Rei who could be the best ally and the most knowledgeable person she knew she would tell him if it meant to have some information from him.

Lucille looked at distance with blank face. "Do you believe in traveling back in time?" Rei crossed his arms.
"We're in a world where there are dragons, magic and world tree, I believe everything is possible in this world."

His answer was convincing, he would be an idiot if he didn't expect such a thing to happen in this world.
Lucille closed her eyes, took deep breath as she said.

"Actually, I've been returning back in time to age seven for several times."
Rei got shocked, his eyes widen, he wanted to ask a lot of questions but he let her finish her talk.

"I've been going back in time none stop, it wasn't like I wanted to be back in time, it is a curse. No matter how long I lived or how much I tried, I died in the end.

No matter how much I tried to be nice,act cute and do good things people would hate me in the end and even kill me.
My father, my servants, my family and my friends would kill me no matter how I try to ran from this fate."

Rei looked at her empty eyes as she continued. "I died twenty times, in everytime I searched for a way to end this curse but with no avail.

During my lives I was ran in situation where I saw the sacrifice flowers, in the green village a crisis had happened.

No matter how I try to forget that terrible scene from my mind, I can't forget it.

How their bodies were black like burnt coal, how their Their facial features were distorted and there was a flower mark in their bodies.

During my shock and panick I got killed by unknown person, in my twelfth life I began to search about the sacrifice flowers and from that I knew about it."

Lucille opened her eyes feeling her heart light, telling someone about suffering does always make her feel better.

But sharing her burdens would always make the others feel guilty with no reason and she didn't like it.

"I see, that must be hard for you." He jump from the office and approached her seat before he hugged her.
"I can't say I understand you because even if I did I won't understand, I didn't get the experience of that kind of thing.
But I know we need some comfort when we're facing such things.

If it's fine for you, please let me comfort you.You can cry, Dear." Lucille chuckled helpless at his words." I don't know how to cry anymore,even if I cried it will be for mere moments.

But thank you for your concerns, I do really appreciate it."

Rei smiled as he closed his eyes, he did really feel guilty for what has happened to Lucille. He knew why the mastermind was aiming for her and her family but he remained in the dark waiting for the right moment.
