I Should Have Just Died

n black mesh.
She took a deep breath as she walked the path countless feet had traveled.
Her shoulders seem to be getting heavier.

So many people loved Kendrick.

Guilt for taking Kendrick from them surged again.

As her slender steps increased, Alyssa’s shoulders drooped.

She arrived at the cemetery, where there are still people.
People brushed past her as if they didn’t care for her.

Alyssa grabbed the chrysanthemum in her arms.
It was a bouquet that she had asked Sasha for.
It was a modestly bloomed chrysanthemum of a size that was not too big.

Alyssa stood in the spot where there were traces of people going back and forth.

The chrysanthemum flowers piled up to the point where the tombstones could not be seen swaying in the cool wind.
Alyssa stared at it with her still eyes.
Taking a deep breath, she set her bouquet down on it.

“…I finally meet you, Lord Kendrick Cambridge.”

It’s been a long time now.

Alyssa the Princess had never visited Kendrick’s cemetery, even though she could have visited at any time.
The purple eyes that contained sorrow sank to black.
It was a mixed trace of the remnants of various emotions.
She and Kendrick were entangled regardless of their will.

Alyssa lowered her head slowly.

“Sorry……”

She was now able to convey the words that she had never been able to say.
Avery would repeat their words over and over as Alyssa replaced them with words she could never have said.

“Sorry.
Lord Kendrick.”

She knows that Kendrick, who has lost his life, will not restore his youth and life with these simple words.
However, there was a difference between speaking and not speaking.
Alyssa slowly raised her head.

She could see the tombstone, which had been challenging to look at before, with a little light mind.

‘Are you at peace there?’

It was something she could never have asked.

Alyssa smiled like she was about to break.
She stood there alone for quite a long time.
After the long thought, Alyssa opened her mouth again.

“I’m not going to insult or ruin Lord’s Cambridge, I promise.”

Alyssa bowed her head once more and turned her body.
Now forgetting Sid and leaving Cambridge was all she could do for this place.
Alyssa slowly left the graveyard.

People were coming from the front.

They are strangely familiar as they walk solemnly with their head bowed.

‘Did anyone say that someone else is coming today?’
