“I'm sorry, even at the end of my life I can't see the faces of my sons and daughters. I can't listen to your voice, can't grip or stroke your head properly.”
“Don't talk like that Dad! You must live until the world is saved. I wouldn't want Dad to leave me! I beg...”.
“Sia, there are actually many that I regret in this world. I sometimes feel like I failed at being a husband and a father, I failed to protect your mother at that time. If only I had managed to protect him then maybe you wouldn't have suffered. I'm really sorry...”.
Eldrick's feelings were so fragile, too much that he had endured all this time without the knowledge of his children. Being a father to his son and daughter is probably something he never imagined. Occupied in a myriad of guilt, he secretly blames himself for the death of his beloved wife. Indeed, the words of encouragement that he uttered to Scarlesia were a series of words so that she could be a pillar of Scarlesia's life.
Every night, every time he thought about Scarlesia who had never lived a happy life. His affection shed everything to Scarlesia, she just wants her only daughter to live happily. Behind Scarlesia she was fragile, yet in front of her she tried to be strong. Scarlesia's pain was her pain as well, Scarlesia's suffering was her suffering as well. A Father who is always firm, unforgiving towards his enemies, actually his heart is too soft and easily broken.
“I... I am always afraid every time, every time I see you smile and laugh, I fear it will be a reason for you to cry. I want to hear your voice and your face for the last time, but it feels like fate won't allow it.”
Scarlesia grew sobbing, her chest full of overwhelming distress, she was unable to hold back her tears for a moment. Scarlesia is a fragile person, unable to bear all the suffering again.
“Mother... please don't take Dad away. I promise I'll be making Dad happy here. Don't take Father away from me, please.” wirred Scarlesia clasped the tighter Eldrick's hand.
“Carlen, Aldert, Daddy put Sia on you guys huh. Take good care of your brother, even if he is now emperor, it does not mean he is a strong son. Sia is fragile, Sia is easy to hurt, don't let her fight alone. It's enough he bore the burden of suffering all this time, make sure your sister is happy with her life choices.”
The tears of Carlen and Aldert ran down their cheeks, but they had pressed their hearts not to be sad, but they could not take too long.
“Sia, it must have been hard all this time for you. Walking alone on a world that is cruel to you, reincarnated for 2000 years but there is no happiness you get. If only time could be turned back, I would like to be your father again and again, take care of you and give you love. My poor little girl..”.
“No, don't say as if Dad will really leave me. Dad said he wanted to see me get married and have a child, Dad promised to protect me, if this is the way, doesn't that mean you're breaking Dad's promise to me? Don'T... DON'T BE SO CRUEL TO ME DAD!”
“Dad will always be near you at all times, even though the body is no longer visible but my soul will always accompany you. Sia, thank you for allowing me to be your father and thank you for being born to color my world. I'm sorry my son, please don't hate me dead.
Everything that dies will return to the sky and then walk to the afterlife. Eldrick's soul has left his little son and daughter in the endless pain of the world. The pulse no longer beats, the breath no longer rhymes, the heart no longer beats, Eldrick's life ends in Scarlesia's lap.
Eldrick's departure foreshadowed the collapse of Scarlesia's world, the foundation of happiness he had built up all this time crumbling in just some time. Though his struggle will reach the top, but again he was slapped by reality and suffering.
“Why? Soon I will have peace. Why is it like this? Mother... You really brought Dad? Wh why? Why is this mother. IBUUU, WHY? WHY DID YOU BRING DAD? ENOUGH ALREADY! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANYMORE!”
Scarlesia was hysterical, she almost lost self-control and lost consciousness of herself.
“Oh yes, I can turn on Dad. I'll swap my life force, that way I...”.
“Why did you ban me? I can't live without Dad. Don't ban me! I'm going to exchange my life force for Dad. I don't want to lose anyone anymore, don't block me!”
Scarlesia pushed Xeon, she was unable to control her common sense. It was as if in his eyes and in his brain right now only contained how he could revive Eldrick.
“HOLD HIM FAST! IF SIA IS DETERMINED TO DO SO THEN SHE WILL DIE!” shout Xeon.
Then the other men hugged and held Scarlesia's body so as not to do things that endanger her own life.
“Let me go! I'm gonna change my life force. Don't stop me! MOVE YOU! I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT DAD! I JUST GOT A GOOD DAD AND FAMILY WITH ME. Wh why? Why should it be taken from me? What exactly is my sin? What's my fault?”
“You are not wrong Sia... You are not wrong..” Andreas said.
“I don't want to live anymore, I'm tired. Let me go with Dad, please. DAD, PLEASE TAKE ME AWAY! I DON'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE! IF I LIVE ONLY TO SUFFER, I'D RATHER DIE.”
Rderr!!
As lightning blared in the sky, the dark sky grew darker, lightning overtook above. The weather turned bad as Scarlesia chanted herself to die, despair eating Scarlesia away. There was no hope for him to live, no reason and direction for his purpose to continue in life that gave him endless suffering.
“Please don't talk you don't want to live, if you die then we'll die too. Fight for Sia in a moment, we will give you abundant happiness,” Louis said in a sad tone.
“True, from the beginning it was my fault. If I die, no one will suffer because of me. I shouldn't have lived in the first place, I'm the bad one here. Dad died because of me, then Archie, uncle, aunt, grandmother, grandfather, Kitty, and Erin. You'll still be alive if I die..”.
“STOP SIA! It's enough.. don't blame yourself anymore. Even though Dad is no, we both still your family.” Carlen felt pain as Scarlesia dissolved in endless guilt.
“But... but why? WHY DOES THE WORLD NEVER LET ME BE HAPPY? WHY DOES THE WORLD ALWAYS TAKE AWAY ALL MY HAPPINESS? I'm tired.. I want to stop sis... I don't want to live anymore.. don't torture me anymore, I beg you...”.
Carlen pulled Scarlesia into his arms, she clenched her body tightly to quell her sadness.
“I'm sorry Sia, sorry for making you go through all this alone. Sorry Sia, I'm not a good sister to you. Please forgive me.”
“Aku lelah kak… aku takut… aku ingin berhenti. Dunia kejam padaku, aku ingin mati….”
The torrential rain flushed their bodies at the same time, Scarlesia's grief was a sorrow for the universe. Their queen again fell and then fell, her life was lifted high and then thrown to pieces. Rain and lightning are both sadness and disappointment Scarlesia. Will Scarlesia be able to get past this life's thorn? His back was stoned by thousands of knives and his heart was slashed by the coldness of the sword. No matter how hard he tries, the world will never side with him.
