Lora was confused but she wasnt disagreeing the fact that they should leave as soon as possible. But leaving with...Rao, She thought to herself"(Can i trust you....?)"
⚡❗⚡❗⚡❗⚡❗⚡❗⚡❗⚡❗⚡❗
Before anyone could realise what happened, rao drags Lora out of that Prison hall Safely. They escaped from the back door which leads to the other side of the castle. A empty field with an edge of the cliff. They kept running and running as if guards were following them. But they werent.
In the middle of the field, They stopped and started taking deep breaths. When they gathered the sense of looking around to check the situation, Lora felt an extremely weird feeling. What is this place?
The place, Was that one field and The edge from her dreams. A small storm of panic was growing up inside of her because she knew the outcome of this situation. She kept looking around repeatly to convince herself that this isnt the place from her dreams. But the more she looked around, The clear it was.
It's the place from her dreams. The same place and the same night. With the same person. How is it possible?!?!
She turned around at Rao who was slowly taking his step back. She opened her mouth to say something, "hey, did you--", She couldnt finish her words.
An extreme pain passed through her. A deep pain of getting stabbed through her whole body. What's going on?!? An unbearable ache. She slowly looks down and saw a sword showing it's end coming out from her. The scene was panicking.
In a second, The sword was pulled back just the way it came in. She was suffering from a quick blood loss but hardly managed to turn around.
It was Sky standing with the sword that has Lora's blood on it. Her face had a evil expression filled with poison. So scary that it can kill anyone in that very second.
Lora fell on the ground while covering the stabbed place. It's a familiar feeling. She felt it before. That day, In her dream, after waking up, She was suffering in the same way. Difference is, She's now bleeding from that stab and it's not a dream.
Sky speaks with her evil voice,"Im surprised how you managed to fool this girl so easily. Good job," with a pause,"Rao."
Lora was stabbed again after hearing that name."Rao...? He betrayed me...?"
Sky continues with her evil smile, "What a time traveler. No wonder you behaved that way with me. I knew something was wrong."
Lora thought to herself, "What's going on?!?! How did they find out about me?!?!What should I do.?!"
S,"You really think you can just time travel and take away the princess! You never thought how Rao would feel about it. Can he let you?"
L,"(Rao knows about it too...? How did this happen? It's completely unacceptable!!)"
"I was warned so many times by Leo and Esmay. But my stupid mind just ended up trusting him just because of his...look."
Sky was suddenly bored with Lora lying down on the ground. Cause she expected something else from her. To have fun,She orders a guard to make Lora stand in the edge.
After hearing it, First thing she did was look At Rao. who seemed to still showing his back on the situation. At last, She gave up and accepted the fate. Cause, Her dreams appeared more than enough time to make her aware of this result.
As ordered, The guard made Her stand on the edge. Sky was having fun while looking at her.
Flora at once kneels on the ground cause her bleeding wasnt stopping that made her legs tremble and fall down. It didnt take long to fall backwards cause blood loss made her feel dizzy.She gathered strength to stand up cause kneeling down looked like she is begging for mercy.
Just when her body was all numb and falling off the hill, She felt her hand being grabbed by someone. Slowly opening her eyes, She saw Rao.
He was gving all his strenth to hold her back from falling. Lora kept staring at his trembling and guilty eyes which were trying to make up for his deed.
Sky broke out in laugh, "How Interesting!!", She claps and moves forward to them.
"Why Prince Rao?
Didnt you promise me that You'll let me handle her after you reach this place.
Why are trying to save her now."
Rao was completely ignoring her arrogant words. He was still tightly holding on to Lora. Her eyes were out of focus and blurry. Why? Is it tears? She thought to herself, "What is this situation... I was betrayed and killed by my Lover in this life. He's trying to save me but the ending is still the same. Why the hell am i hoping that he'll save me!"
Just when her thought ends, tears flows down from her eyes.
Surprisingly, She opened her eyes and saw ...Rao Crying too?
Sky's words went harsh and according to the dream, She repeated the same words,
"Let go !
you cant have her anyway!"
Just after hearing those words from Sky, Lora knew it's the end. There's no going back. Now, Rao will let her go. It doesnt matter how much strength he's using or how much he's crying to save her. The ending is...same.
As expected, Rao lets go of her hand. He moved up as soon as he lets her fall.
Sky asks in a playful tone, "You did your work. I'll make it worth it. Dont worry about her."
From the angle Rao is being shown or what he's feeling wont be explained now. So, Nobody knows the reason why He betrayed Lora. If he was helpless, What's the condition? If he was helpless and couldnt care about Lora's existence, Why was he crying?
S,"Let's go back now.
What a show!"
One by one all the guards left. Rao was planning to stay there but he also left. But, the direction he went was opposite the kingdom.
In a second, The field was empty. Not a sigle soul was around.
A hand seemed to grab the ground and pull up. It continues until Her whole body reached the ground.
Lora survived?
She was lucky enough to not die cause the hill edge was designed like that. There was a small hole inside where she was holding on and waiting for the guards and Rao to leave. When they left, She climbs up.
As soon as she reached the top, her body felt the weakness all over again. She leans on a rock. The wound wasnt healing by itself. Was it because...Unknownly, She used up her three chances.
If it continues, How long can she last? Is it really the end in her journey.
She looked up at the sky and starts laughing crazily.
"I was fool enough to think that i can just time travel back and save my friend who was living as a princess. what a joke~"
"If i hapoen to die here...In my next life, I dont want to see that betrayer's face anymore!!", She was screming at no one.
Syddenly, Tears were coming out non-stop from her eyes, "It...hurts."
In her DM voice inside, "Im talking to the 'Me' from this life. WHere are you!!
Why cant you show up and help me like the other did!!
why cant you hear me!! Feel me and run to this spot!
I need you now....i really do.",She calmed down cause she was tired.
Everything was all quiet for a second.
Suddenly, She heard a voice calling her, "Ora!!".
She looked around and saw Ren running at her with a shocked and worried face.
But she couldnt stare long cause her eyes went blurry and she faints down on the ground.She smiled cause she was relieved that soemone is there to save her.
Let it be her or Ren. Whom she could trust blindly even when their relation was still unknown.
Was it a concidence that Ren showed up just she was calling herself?
