"During the day, Rigel."

Upon Rigel's arrival in the royal garden, he is greeted by Tirith who appears to have been waiting for his presence. Tirith no longer sat down drinking tea staring at the stars like before, she seemed to have been standing for a long time before Rigel came.

"Yes... Long time no see..."

If Tirith already knew that Rigel was coming, then she knew what she wanted to talk to him about. Rigel lowered his eyes dejectedly, he reluctantly looked at Tirith who was in front of him. Silence occurred between the two of them until Rigel said something.

"So that's right yeah, what Takatsumi told me is that you're going to continue the engagement with her." Rigel said, still not looking at Tirith.

"... Yep. My betrothal to the Sword hero will be live for a few months."

His heart, which was almost broken, was now easily destroyed by the girl he loved. Rigel clasped his chest and trembled, but no teardrops came out.

Pain, even though he did not get any wounds or blood, something seemed to pierce through his chest. Grief, hatred and anger peaked in Rigel's mind, yet he was unable to bring out anything.

"... Why??... Why are you doing this to me, Tirith...?? Didn't you say you loved me...?? Don't you want to take you away with me...?? Don't you want to see the stars with me...?? Don't you want to be with me... ?? why...??"

Rigel lowered his head in despair. He no longer understood for what reason Tirith did this. On the other hand, Tirith looked at Rigel with some sadness, yet he kept trying to toughen up.

"I do love you, Rigel. But I'm sorry, we can't be together. I'll get engaged to a sword hero and get married soon..."

Tirith turned her body as if reluctant to stare at Rigel's already very fragile figure. Rigel was sad, but he could not cry because his tears drained away while in the Hell's Labyrinth.

"You... right, that jerk must have threatened you or something, right??"

"Rinel..."

"How dare he do that, I can no longer tolerate him..."

"Regel."

Rigel continuously spoke alone, the voice of Tirith who kept calling out to him did not even reach his ears. Rigel was in a mess right now, he was no longer able to process anything that was in his head, his extremely fragile heart was already controlled by hatred for Takatsumi and sorrow.

"Where is that man now.I will finish him off right now, I no longer care if it reduces the combat power of man..I will never forgiven—"

"Rigel...!!!"

For the first time for Rigel to hear Tirith yell at him. Tirith deliberately raised her voice to regain Rigel's focus that was about to lose control. Rigel was stunned by Tirith's shout and made his consciousness return to reality.

"There was no coercion whatsoever from her, it was purely my choice Rigel. I myself decided to continue this engagement."

All the thought that there were certain circumstances that forced Tirith to remain engaged to Takatsumi was instantly shattered when Tirith said so. Rigel stared blankly at Tirith who was reluctant to see his face.

"Oh, yeah... You broke your promise to me... One hundred years— no, for you maybe only one year passed.. Ahh~, I went through a lot of things in hell just for you but this is the reply I got?? Hahaha, what a rotten world this is..."

Rigel listened to his head staring at the sky while Tirith tried her best to stay firm. Even for Tirith, doing this to Rigel was the hardest thing in her life. The reason Tirith did not want to see Rigel's face was because he was powerless, even he could not imagine what Rigel's current expression was like. One thing is certain, his expression was not happiness, but sadness.

"... so, please don't interfere with my life anymore... Mr. Creator..."

One last arrow stabbed straight into Rigel's heart. Tirith no longer called him by his name, but rather his hero title. Even with that alone is enough to aggravate the heartache received by Rigel.

'Please go, Rigel. if you don't go, the dam I built will soon collapse.' Inner Tirith.

Tirith's shoulders began to tremble but Rigel did not try to notice Tirith. Rigel kept staring at the sky, he saw thousands of stars shining brightly as if mocking Rigel who was being cast out.

"... I see, yes... Thank you, Tirith..."

Tirith was stunned to hear Rigel who was supposed to be sad but instead thanked him, he did not understand, completely did not understand this until Rigel continued his words.

"Thank you for teaching me the meaning of the word love, thank you for making me feel loved, thank you for teaching me what it's like to love someone, thank you for caring for a man like me, thank you for loving me, thank you for everything and also.... Good bye, Tirith... You are my first love, I will remember you. I will never interfere with your life again, may you be happy, Princess..."

The final blow to Tirith, just as it seemed that not the song called Rigel by his name, so did Rigel who no longer called him by his name but rather his title.

Rigel looked at Tirith who was still reluctant to see his face. Despite knowing that Tirit might not see it, Rigel would still do it. Rigel closed his eyes and—

"Goodbye, my beloved Princess..."

some time after Rigel left, Tirith remained silent in the same place as before. He knew that there was someone who had been watching him for a long time. Not far from the park, a dark blue-haired man appeared and slowly walked into the park.

"She's finally gone... You did well, Tirith... I could barely hold back my smile when I saw Rigel being dumped by the girl he loved... Ahh~ when I thought she was going to cry, but she didn't shed any tears at all, she just let out her disgusting smile."

"Are you satisfied, sword hero...?? I did what you wanted!!" Tirith said in a tone of anger.

Takatsumi stood behind Tirith and grabbed her blond hair and smelled the scent of Tirith's hair.

"Yes, I am very satisfied, Tirith... Thanks to you who saved his life...Haha..."

Takatsumi left the garden and left his evil laughter resounding in the courtyard. Tirith fell to her knees after a while Takatsumi left. The dam that had been built solidly began to collapse, his tears began to flood him.

"I'm sorry, Rigel... I'm gonna have to do this. Otherwise he's gonna kill you..."

***

Return to one day before the departure of Takatsumi and other Britannian heroes go to Rigel's place. Takatsumi went to see Tirith who, as usual, enjoyed tea while looking at the stars alone.

Tirith realized that someone was walking towards her. He turned his head to see who it was and found Takatsumi walking towards him. Tirith awkwardly stood up and faced Takatsumi. Since her previous engagement was canceled due to the appearance of Rigel, Takatsumi and Tirith never spoke again.

"Gold, anu... I'm sorry for—"

Tirith's words were cut directly by Takatsumi who was smiling towards her.

"No need to apologize, Tirith... I was surprised that he was alive..."

"You're right!! I didn't even think he was alive... I don't know what he's been doing for a year..."

During his talk about Rigel, Tirith excitedly talked about it. On the other hand, Takatsumi just walked quietly and stood beside Tirith.

"Yes, I didn't even think he was alive, when he should have died at my hands..."

Tirith's eyes opened wide, shocked at Takatsumi's statement. At first he thought this was just a joke, but after looking directly into Takatsumi's eyes that became creepy, he immediately understood that this was not a joke.

"You killed Rigel, Takatsumi...??"

"Yes... Everything that happened in that ravine was a scenario that I made, even though Diablo's appearance was out of plan, but the result was still what I wanted..."

Tirith finally understood it with a stain. The moments of Rigel's death were witnessed only by his father and also Takatsumi.

"Is, father also involved in your plan..."

If he did, Tirith could not believe that her father was trying to kill the man loved by her Princess and also, she could not believe that the hero was trying to kill another hero.

"Let's know.It could be that the King was involved in my plan and it could not be, I leave it to your imagination..."

While saying that, Takatsumi pulled the sword from its sheath and turned it into another form. His sword glowed to the surface, without even needing to look directly at the sword, Tirith could tell from the aura it was emitting.

"W-how b-can you have a p-sword Excalibur...?!"

The Sword of Excalibur, a sacred sword used by Tirith's ancestor, the founder of the British empire, Arthur pendragon. The sword should have been shattered into small fragments because it was used as energy for the royal magic protector.

"Keep aside how I got it... You know, how strong is this sword...?? With this sword, I could have killed Rigel from a distant place on the condition that I should know the location of the target... Then tomorrow, I'll go to his place and his terms are met..."

Tirith was unable to say anything and just waited for Takatsumi to finish his words.

"Let's make a deal... Get engaged to me, you'll have to dump Rigel when he meets you and that way, I won't kill him...Think of your answer carefully, Tirith..."

Takatsumi put back his sword and walked away from there.

"Can I ask, why do you want to kill Rigel so badly...???"

Takatsumi stopped on his way and said :

"You misunderstood one thing... Not only Rigel, but Yuri, Takumi and the other heroes will also be killed... There's only one hero who will save the world, which is me..."

The reasons are very childish and absurd, but with this the purpose of Takatsumi becomes very clear. He is the one who needs to be sorted out immediately...
