Chapter 336: A Distant Voice

Aurora opened her eyes to find Zach had already left. But to make sure, she sat up before glancing around and calling his name and realized that he had indeed left.

She puffed her cheeks and muttered, “Couldn’t he have waited until I woke up? It’s been so long since I last woke up beside him and greeted him good morning.”

She looked in the distance to see Milo doing her regular stretches, including her wings and tail.

“Good morning, Milo~!” Aurora greeted her cheerfully.

“Lady Aurora! You are awake!” Milo stopped doing her activity and flapped her wings to fly to the throne.

“You have grown big enough to fly freely, huh?”

“No. But I can fly a few meters, which is the height of the throne,” Milo responded.

“When did Zach leave?” Aurora asked curiously.

Milo slapped her tail and replied, “Uhm… about 5 minutes ago, I would say. He woke up a few hours ago but waited for you to wake up.”

“Oh! So he did wait for me….”

“How are you feeling, Lady Aurora?” Milo asked curiously. “You ate another essence pill, right? Do you feel any change in your body?”

“Well…” Aurora looked at the visible cracks on her hands and thighs and uttered, “From the outside, nothing has changed, but I can feel a lot stronger from the inside. And did you not notice that I only slept for 12 hours compared to my daily more than 18 hours of sleep?”

“I did. And that’s why I asked.”

“I see…”

Things got awkward real quick between them, but Milo decided to make it more awkward by mentioning what Zach and Aurora did last night.

“I was…” Milo murmured.

“Hmm?”

“Master Zach told me to give you two some alone time, so I left to walk around. And since he usually leaves after spending two to three hours with you, I expected the same.

However, when I returned, you two were… I mean… he was fingering you, and you were moaning…

Of course, I immediately left and didn’t return until the morning, but still… I never expected to see something like that. But I guess that was normal. You two are lovers, after all.”

Usually— no, Aurora acted like a pervert most of the time. However, she easily used to get embarrassed after getting caught by someone. She liked to act like a princess when she was in public, but she always acted like a pervert whenever she was alone with Zach.

When Milo mentioned she saw everything, Aurora’s face turned red as a beet. She wanted to run away from there, but her body didn’t allow her to. So she covered her face with her hands and laid down on the throne, facing her back to Milo.

ρα??α ??????? “I suddenly feel sleepy, so I will sleep for a few more hours!”

After saying that, Aurora drifted to sleep, completely unbeknownst to the voice telling her something in her dreams, if one could call it.

‘He was a cheerful man who always liked to pass comments and make jokes even in serious situations. But as the time passed, he changed. _{ρ????-???????}

His face was always brimming with excitement and happiness, and the wide smile on his face, which was pure bliss to my eyes, slowly changed too.

Day by day, his charming smile decreased. Slowly and steadily, it vanished. I can’t remember when was the last time I saw him smile. He would still often smile once in a while, but that would be a wry smile with nothing but pain behind it.

His innocent smile that I loved was gone until I ever realized how much I yearned to see it.

I failed to notice everything. The pain he was enduring, the suffering he was going through, the challenges and the hurdles that stood in his way, he kept everything inside him.

He never let anyone know about it and took the responsibility to save us like a hero. He was my hero, but before I had realized it, that hero had succumbed to darkness that could put the void to shame.

Was it my fault? Maybe. Perhaps… if I had noticed it sooner, I would have saved him.

Would that have changed anything? I don’t know, but I am sure he himself tried to change and failed miserably. I am sure of it. I knew him better than anyone, or did I?

I ask myself that question every time.

Do I still love him? Absolutely. I promised him that I would love him no matter what happened, no matter what he did or what he became.

My love for him would never die. For instance, the abyss may come to its end, and eternity may reach its limit, but the love I have for him will remain the same until the day I die. No, until this world exists.

I don’t know if you are hearing this, nor do I know if you will ever remember this, but please, I beg you, please save him before it’s too late.

Then again, this is not the first time I am saying this to you. Every time I fail to reach you, and every time you fail to notice his pain.

However, I will not stop. I will keep reaching you until you have saved him. Goodbye, Aurora. I will contact you soon, once again.’

Aurora slowly opened her eyes, and a trail of tears rolled down her cheek.

“Huh?” She sat up and glanced at Milo, only to see her staring back at her.

“Lady Aurora? Why are you crying?! Is everything alright? Does your body hurt? Do you miss Master Zach? I will contact him through the shadows if you—”

“Milo…” Aurora interjected and muttered, “Why did you take Zach as your master?”

“Why are you asking this so suddenly?”

“I… nevermind. I must have had a bad dream or something. I don’t remember anything, but I feel sad. I feel… sad….”

Outside Aria’s domain, everyone was having breakfast, but Zach wasn’t there.

“Is Zach still with Aurora?” Aria asked Victoria.

“Well, if we don’t see him here with us, then he is obviously with Aurora,” Victoria replied with a shoulder shrug.
