IZAAK'S POV
''Surprise,'' Mary's face turned pale when she realized the magic I was using around us. She stood up and said, '' Are you planning to kill me, Izaak?'' I chuckled darkly and tilted my head, '' Kill You? Do you think if I could kill you, I would've been standing doing nothing?'' Mary laughed, her arrogance made my blood boil in anger but controlling my anger is the best thing I can do. Mary is a dark magic user, I don't know what will happen if I were to kill her, what if she calls out undead and goes rampage?
'' Then what are you planning to do by pulling these little tricks of yours?'' She asked me. I closed my eyes and mumbled something, Mary watched my every move closely and I am sure she didn't predict what I did next.
Mary hissed in pain and I opened my eyes to see her rubbing her neck. '' I hope you will like my gift, Dear Mother.'' Smiling innocently at her I took off the illusion magic. Mary's shocked expression gave me an indication of her guessing what I did. Stepping closer to her, I kneel and took her hand to kiss it softly as an act of showing my respect to my stepmother. With my lips against her hand, I lifted my eyes to meet her's which was filled with terror and confusion barely holding back herself from passing out. How brave of you Second Queen!
'' I will be gone to Dhakun for a long time, Please enjoy your goodnight sleep, Your Highness.'' Saying that I stood up and bowed before leaving her behind. I could feel her burning gaze on my back.
'' IZAAK DE AMANSO, I WILL KILL YOU!'' She screamed as loud as she could. Her maids were shocked to see her that side, they glanced at me with pity and I acted all harmless as if I didn't do anything wrong.
Aiden who was waiting for me outside the garden ran to me when he saw me walking outside. He looked back at the garden and then at me. '' Prepare for departure,'' I ordered him while smiling. Aiden understood my order and nodded. Looking back at the garden of Second Queen I didn't have any good memory about this place. One day I was kneeling in front of her to save my mother and today I was standing in front of her as the First Aster, the biggest threat and stone on her way, threatening her with her worst nightmares. How unpredictable the game of fate is!
END OF IZAAK'S POV
DHAKUN,
'' Where are you dragging me?'' Feeling unproductive walking around the Dhakun's meeting square I asked Iarake who was walking nonstop. '' You will love that place, Valentiara.'' His voice expressed his excitement, why is he even excited about one breakfast? This guy is too complicated to be understood. Suddenly I heard someone singing in the middle of the busy street. Judging by their uniform they seemed to be freshly like me but in the Sword department. I stopped walking just like most and decided to hear their song. '' Are you interested in music?'' Iarake also followed me. Interested, don't know but the concept of their song sounded fun to me. But I didn't answer him instead stood at the frontline to see and hear them. Four guys were playing magical instruments and one girl was singing. My breathing hitched when I finally understood why the melody sounded too familiar to me,
'' The unsaid fear in my heart,
Future I dreamt of,
Future I lived
All scares me cuz I lost you there,
The world seems dark but
you are like a firefly,
giving me a small light of hope
In winter, the warmth that made me alive
You were the sun I admired,
So I decided to become your moon,
But the moon and sun can never be together,
Oh, Dear!
I regret every single day I ignored you,
Oh Dear!
How can't I love you again?
My spring, the sun that made me alive,
Can you look at me once again?
Nobody else can make me feel like you do,
Nobody else can love you as I do,
Can Sun and Moon be together once?
Under the same sky?
Love me once again, Promise, I'll never let you down.''
My eyes became teary as I started to match the lyrics with my life. Closing my eyes I mumbled, '' Izaak,'' I miss him, but it doesn't make sense about missing him after all the things I did to him in our past life. If not for me, he could live and what's the point of accepting my love for him now when I couldn't see my own heart when I had time?
'' You are crying?'' Iarake's concerned voice made me realize my surrounding. Everyone clapped their hand so did I. I opened my eyes and looked at the performer who was also in tears after singing.
'' Seems like she has some great regret in her hand,'' Iarake said. I took a deep breath and said, '' It's something greater than regret realizing that you lost something much more precious while chasing something fake.'' '' You have the same regret?'' He asked me. I don't know what happen to me then that I gave him the most honest reply I could, '' I have.'' '' What if you are given a second chance will you chase that love that you ignored again?'' I shook my head and smiled softly before replying, '' I rather see that love shining brightly like a sun without caring about the moon. Isn't that the best way of repaying for my deeds?''
Iarake didn't say something but just kept staring at me. I wasn't bothered by his gaze rather it felt a little lighter than before after sharing my thought with someone, don't know what was it but something inside me told me that I can trust this unknown powerful magician. Shaking off my thoughts I looked at him and said, '' If you have no interest in paying for my breakfast then I am going myself.'' Iarake's eyes widen and he said, '' What no? Let's go.'' I followed him once again leaving a part of my guilty desire there. I can't desire for Izaak, I don't deserve to love him this time after everything. I mumbled to myself once again as a reminder, '' You can't desire the sun if you don't want to turn into ash.''
