Three months have passed since my divorce. I returned to Mintira Vanderwall's residence. Even without that damn man I was still rich, plus the divorce benefits. It's just that I just found out that Mintira's real life story is very sad.
She has no family other than herself. Only loyal servants have been near her. Her residence is like an ancient castle that holds history. It can be seen from the arrangement of paintings of the previous Vanderwall rulers.
Her parents had long been killed by monsters when she was seven years old. Making her take care of the Vanderwall residence at such a young age. Until finally Glariand came only to gain personal gain.
Come to think of it, it seems Mintira fell in love with him. But unfortunately it was one-sided.
Luckily I'm not her. So I can help her escape the mental torture of her marriage. "Miss, there's an invitation for you." Jane said handing her an envelope that said Theo Glariand.
I sighed, "Get me a knife, I want to know why this stupid man sent me a letter." I ordered Jane.
"Good afternoon, Mintira. I am sending this letter just to find out how you are and how you are doing. After all, we have lived together for more than three years. I also have happy news for you. I will be getting married in seven months. Please come to my wedding. Warm regards, Glariand."
That was the content of the letter, making me immediately burn it in the fire. "Miss?" Jane asked in surprise.
Even though I'm not the real Mintira. For some reason my heart feels tight and hurt. My tears start to flow. Until it makes me cry hysterically. "Miss, be patient." Jane said in panic.
"Why is this happening, Jane please explain to me! Why is my chest tight and painful. It hurts Jane. It hurts!" I said while squeezing her hand tightly. "It's okay, miss. It's normal." Jane who seemed to know how I felt, also cried with me.
"Not me, no! Mintira wake up! That man is stupid and can't appreciate you. MINTIRA!!!" I shouted while hitting my chest that was hurting. Trying to make the real Mintira stop feeling heartbroken. "What did he actually do to make you feel this much disappointment!" I shouted again, as if I was cursing myself.
Jane who was hugging me could only cry silently, seeing her employer so sad, she could only stroke my shoulder.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark, I tried to read a fairy tale book to wake myself up. The dusty bookshelves caught my attention. "The legend of the eternal fire." For some reason, the book caught my attention.
'Once upon a time, there lived a nation that was first created on earth. Namely, the devil. The devil who was created from hellfire. They have the ability to destroy the world in an instant. Only, despite their scary appearance.
They are still kind enough not to destroy the earth. Until finally one of them set foot on earth. Jellal. He calls himself the king of demons or the god of demons.
Jellal's job is to lead humans to the wrong path and kill humans at will. It is unpredictable what he actually does. He seems to be looking for pleasure in the midst of his eternal life. However, in the past few hundred years. Jellal disappeared. As if he didn't want to be found by anyone. Where exactly is Jellal and where did he go?'
"Why do I feel sorry, eternal life? I don't want that. I would rather die now than live forever." I said when concluding several pages about Jellal.
Ah, never mind. I don't want to be sad anymore. I better go to sleep soon.

The next day. "Jane. Can you help me get ready to go to my parents' graves?" I asked. Jane who heard it nodded hesitantly. However, she still helped me.
After getting ready, I got on the horse-drawn carriage. For the first time, I passed through the capital before heading to Mintira's parents' graves. The city was so vast and beautiful.
Sigh, after seven hours we finally arrived at Vanderwall's grave.
"Miss, we have arrived." Jane said and helped me towards the graves of Mintira's real father and mother.
I nodded and followed his steps.
The two tombstones were so striking because they looked abandoned. "Are these their graves?" I asked to make sure. Jane nodded and then left me alone.
"Hello Mr. Klieth and Mrs. Serra. Let me introduce myself, my name is Mintira. Just Mintira. This time I pray that you are all well there. I don't know why I suddenly wanted to go to your grave. It's just that. I have possessed your child's body. I don't want to say it. It seems like your child has died. I felt something strange while I was in your child's body. It's just a feeling that I inherited, not a memory. Therefore, I came to make a grave for your child. Mintira Vanderwall." I said at length in front of Klieth and Serra's gravestones.
I dug a small hole between their graves and put Mintira's favorite pendant and ring. Then covered it back with soil. "I pray that the three of you are at peace there and please give me strength to live my life in this mortal world." I said praying for the three of them.
After praying I walked around Vanderwall's grave. Until finally my steps stopped when I saw a figure of a man. "Who are you?" I asked in a tone of voice that sounded scared.
No matter what, Satan is the thing I can't tolerate the most in this world.
"Shhh." He said with his index finger in front of his lips. Telling me to stay quiet.
Damn it!
