The Price of Love
The goddess.
My sight was blinded by light so big it could take someone's sight.
When I could open them again, I felt warm.
This place, where I was, was full of flowers and green fields.
The sky above had no clouds.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Why did you bring me here?
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Of course I did.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I heard you in my dream.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Talking to me, telling me to come.
the goddess
You have sinned.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I know.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I've known all this time.
the goddess
Do you regret anything?
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Of course.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I regret not taking my husband's side.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Believing those bastards.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I should've...helped him instead...
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I shouldn't have insulted him, ignored him, go against his wishes..
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
He was cold, yes, but he never mistreated me.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I was blinded...
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Not by light, but by darkness.
the goddess
Do you wish to repent?
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Yes...
Tristan looked down on his hands.
He was sitting in the grass.
His whole body was relaxed, and at the same time, so tense.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I just want to rest now.
the goddess
Let me tell you something.
the goddess
You weren't the only sinner.
the goddess
You were the victim as well.
The goddess looked at Tristan with pity.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Then why didn't you do anything?
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Why not stop them?
That question surprised her.
Her expression changed into something unreadable.
Dying.
the goddess
I couldn't possibly intervene with the human world.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Then why bring us into the world at all?
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
If I was going to suffer anyway...
Tristan mumbled under his breath.
His lungs couldn't keep up with the pain they just went through.
His heart was still beating unimaginably fast.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I died...
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Haha!
He wasn't laughing, he was crying, sobbing..
The tears ran down his face.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I died!
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Aaghhhhh!
He grasped at the grass, his palms buroving deep inside.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I hate this so much!
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I couldn't even help him!
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I was just a burden to everyone!
After his 5th year of life, he never cried again.
Tristan's mother was just a maid in the lord's palace.
She was taken to his bed and bore his child, Tristan.
He was just an illegitimate.
Ulitmatley, he was "sold" off to the archduke Wallorah..
He spent 5 years there, plotting how to kill him on behalf of his family and the crown prince, who promised neverland.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I should've suffered more...
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I should've just died more painfully...at the hands of my husband.
The crown prince used Tristan.
And then, killed him, poisoned him, laughed in his dying face.
Suffering.
the goddess
Do you wish to make things right?
Tristan looked at the goddess, his face signifying confusion.
the goddess
I'll send you back to the time you haven't married Knox, yet.
the goddess
Will you make things right?
the goddess
Will you punish the evil and save the good?
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Yes...
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I will, if it means saving my husband!
the goddess
But beware of one thing.
the goddess
Once you step foot on that land, once you fall in love again, once you wake up from this place...
the goddess
Your body won't be the same.
the goddess
You'll be weak, you'll be sick.
the goddess
You'll die soon..
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
How long?
the goddess
Year, two at most.
the goddess
My power is strong, but I can't go against the God of death and God of life.
the goddess
I am merely the God of time.
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
So...I won't get my happy ending with Knox?
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
Yes...
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
As if I deserve him...
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
I'll keep him safe, alive...
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
But not with me...
Tristan Morningstar [MC] [RO]
He deserves someone better.
His eyes now empty as he knew there was nothing to save him.
He made Knox's life hell before, now is the time for him to suffer.
