Previously suggested read this while singing the one that got away, honestly if I read again feel really. Happy reading!
I was a child who was sold into slavery as a result of war, one day an old man bought me at an unnatural price.
He said that if I had a great existence and had the potential to become the strongest archmage on the continent, I didn't believe in it at first, but then he showed me a crystal that could measure my mana.
It turned out that I was born with a large mana and an incredibly powerful light magic, I was raised to the sage of a sacred tower when I was 12 years old.
Everyone did not accept me, because of my identity which is a lowly slave of a defeated country.
Even though I was a sage, I was hated, scorned, even sometimes I would be tortured and pelted with dirt, no one ever stood up for me, one day someone came to me.
"Are you crying?" The little girl smiled with eyes forming a crescent moon, so beautiful! Thought.
She offered her white handkerchief, but I brushed it off because of trauma and thought everyone was fake.
He looked grimacing, yet I didn't care! I just want him to go and leave me alone.
"I'm gonna leave this here." The girl placed her handkerchief on the smooth-looking stone.
I saw her walking away, her black hair fluttering, she was so graceful!
A few years later, I met him again, he became a victim of the bajing*n research in the sacred tower.
It turned out that he was a slave, I just saw him without any intention of helping him in the least.
"Help me!" Said with raucous.
The dog*n kept kicking the head of the girl who used to give me her handkerchief, melting lead on her back and sprinkling salt on her wound.
"Stop!" I said coldly, they saw me.
"He's just a lowly slave, why should we stop? Since he's ours, it's legal that we want to do something to him, even if we have to kill him."
His words were completely inhumane, holy towers were not truly sacred places, they only looked holy on the outside and rotten on the inside, although not all of them.
"I'll take it, so stop torturing her!" I ordered the bajing*n coldly.
He couldn't argue because I was a sage who could already use my magic proficiently.
"Thank you." The girl looked at me and slowly her eyes closed.

From that day on, black-haired girls followed me without any objection from anyone.
"Sage sir, do you want a snack?" Ask the girl with a sweet smile.
"No."
"Sage sir, is there anything I can do?"
"No, don't bother me!"
"Master Sage, I can help you clean the house, help you wash dishes, cook food for you, so please don't tell me to leave."
"Shut up, and don't be noisy!"
"Sage sir, I love you."
When I said that, I realized that I loved her too, the girl who gave her the white handkerchief.
It felt like the girl was a gift from the god she gave me for my misfortune.
"Aletta I love you." For the first time I said love to her sincerely, she seemed happy.
We had a wedding without being blessed by anyone, my teacher or the old man who bought me at the time said it was up to me.
Although our marriage was not blessed, I believe that the gods have given us their blessing.
But the happy day did not last long, I just found out the reason why Aletta was made a slave, it was because in her body there was a huge dark energy.
One day, her dark energy overflows like a tsunami wave, never stopping and Aletta loses her sanity by killing many people.
On everyone's orders, I was forced to bind him with a very strong chain seal.
That could stabilize her aura and her sanity with just my great light energy, but it didn't work because it turned out that Aletta's dark energy was bigger than I thought.
"Leon just kill me." She screamed desperately, though her sanity was gone, but sometimes it came back.
"How can I kill you?" I was frustrated, between choosing my selfishness or saving people who had nothing to do with me.
"If so, I will kill innocent people, children and old people, do not be selfish and save the continent." He still said softly.
Why yes? Though they had nothing to do with our lives, they had ignored Aletta and me and tortured us, but why did the two of us suffer continuously?
"Leon."
"Me, I'll do it. Aletta forgive me, I can't protect you. I promised I'd protect you no matter what, Aletta I love you."
I raised my sword and pierced right in his heart, it felt like my heart was pierced by something, he died! And his spirit was scattered into pieces. My Alett died with my own hands.
Even so he still smiled and said that he loved me very much, I sealed his dark power in the wooden box I made with the dragon carving.
From that moment on I found out, when the day I killed her, she was three months pregnant with my son.
I blame the gods for my helplessness, not only did I kill the person I loved, I even killed a child who wasn't even born yet.
"Sage master please calm down, women are very much. That kid doesn't deserve you." That damn secretary actually brought you a bitch!
Without hesitation I killed them, I became a cold person. Every day I wake up without him by my side, it feels so excruciating.
One day while making my bed, I found a letter with a childish-looking love ornament.
"Leon, I've loved you since the day you cried. It doesn't seem real that I can marry you.
You know, I'm gonna be a mom, am I gonna be a good mom? Although it has not been seen yet but it feels like there is a heartbeat in my stomach.
I wanted to tell you, but you're too busy, ah I'm really happy! maybe I'll be the happiest woman in the world.
Having a husband who loves me, and now that I'm going to be a mother, what would it be like if this child was born and he yelled father and mother at both of us?
I can't wait for that day, Leon I love you until it feels like crying, Leon if one day I go, just remember that I'm always standing next to you no matter what, I love you."
I squeezed the letter and cried, I want to be with you, only you are my place back, yet why is fate so cruel? Why would you kill me is me?
I wanted to choke myself helplessly, I slaughtered everyone who had tortured me and Aletta first.
Until finally the devil of the heart rules me and the punishment of the gods I have to live, but I am happy that I can meet you again.
Aletta, in this life or in the future I will protect you, I will really leave everything to you. I love you so much.
