CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
The end is sad

As much as Ellena's energy rose even though she was still in pain. But that's not a problem. Ellena believes that this is her chance to complete the mission and return to her world.

Ellena's grin seemed to curl violently from the corner of her lips. His gaze was certain because he had resisted the pain that had weakened him.

“B-how did this happen, Ellie?” ask Ruby. The little girl rubbed the corner of her eyes that had been wet from crying over Ellena who was thought to be dead. “Didn't your heart stop beating? Hiks.”

Ruby asked that still with a bit of a whim. However, to be honest, she is happy because Ellena is still alive and Ruby does not bear the blame anymore alone. Even so, he still held the responsibility for everything that happened with Ellena going forward.

While Ellena grinned even more with her gaze staring at Charlotte who was standing in front of her. “You think I could die that easily? My heart was indeed covered in ice crystals, but he did not stop beating! I still remember Miko's words, while the heart is still beating, it means there is still a chance to keep moving!”

“I think you're dead, Ellie,” sad Steven.

Ellena returned to grinning. “If I die, then this story will end with a sad story! Everfalls is too beautiful for a sad ending, so let's make a happy ending!”

Now, Ellena has begun to remember who Miko is even though her face is still vague because Ellena is affected by the ice curse magic. But it's okay. Ellena remembered Miko's sentence and she decided not to regret it for not fighting.

Although tired, Ellena will exert all her energy to reclaim the rights of the people of Everfalls who have been snatched for almost a hundred years.

However, Charlotte was no longer interested in attacking Ellena. He glanced at Ciel, a second-rate elf boy who became the source of greatness for his anger today. The wind around the increasingly noisy blow dust and small pebbles, hitting some parts of this sturdy palace.

Wuses.

Wuses.

Wuses.

Charlotte's eyes lit up even though she lost the light of life. His fierce gaze only led to Ciel in front of there who was trying to get up after waking up due to the powerful impact of being knocked down while fighting Charlotte's black magic.

At his side, Yuya also tried to open his eyes. He was wide-eyed as Charlotte walked closer full of anger. Immediately, Yuya stood in front of Ciel, protecting him.

“Stop, Mom. I beg you,” pinta Yuya. His green and yellow eyes were wet. He felt that Charlotte was not himself anymore.

While inside Charlotte's body, a whisper echoed. Charlotte was standing in a dark room. A voice invites him to speak.

“Look at that elf, doesn't he look like her? It's clear that she doesn't love you, Charlotte!” The voice continued to make Charlotte drown with her anger.

“No, not possible! Patanese... Patan will always love me!” push Charlotte away by covering her ears.

The conversation in that dark room only Charlotte and Black Magic knew. Charlotte's spirit was fighting itself inside her body with the Black Magic that had been controlling her all this time.

“Today you lived repeatedly with the same fate. Are you not conscious? You always die alone in a cave because everyone, including your lover, has never loved you. They're all just using you. All races in this country just want to take advantage of your naive self!”

The more here, the more Black Magic incited Charlotte.

“You are constantly born and reborn with the same story, doesn't that mean you were born to be unloved? You only obey the meaningless Blessings. Stop dreaming, Charlotte! Hundreds or even thousands of years you lived but ended up betrayed! Don't act plain!”

Charlotte pensive. True what the Black Magic said. All this time there was only pain, he did not feel his life ended beautifully. Charlotte gets a lot of pain from a lot of people.

“Padahan, all this time you have given a lot of affection to the entire race. But, the man had betrayed the great queen of this country!”

“Who could hurt my queen?”

“Patanwas... Patan is a good guy!” sergeant Charlotte, defending her beloved whom she loved so much to date despite having a son from another woman.

“Are you crazy?! She already has a child, Charlotte! Does love make you blind, huh?!”

“Yes, love will always blind anyone!”

“Charlotte,” call Black Magic invites the attention of Charlotte who is shaking because this room is so stifling and there are many strange sounds. “Love only contains pain! As long as you are not touched by love, then you will be fine! It's good I suggest you stay away from the people by lifting your palace!”

Charlotte was just crying. All this time, he felt that he had only been hurt all his life. He keeps repeating the same story with different people. Even so, the pain always brings him back to life and keeps repeating again never tired.

“Does God hate me?” isak Charlotte felt she was no longer pitied.

While outside Charlotte's body, everyone was stunned because Charlotte suddenly fainted. Soon, Steven grabbed the aunt's head.

Charlotte's white face looked in pain marked by her suddenly wrinkled look like uncomfortable. Everyone gathered to see Charlotte up close while the surroundings looked chaotic.

“I guess, the Queen is talking to Black Magic,” Ruby said guessing after her tiny hand landed on Charlotte's forehead. He used mind-reading magic and indeed he slightly saw the shadows of Charlotte and also Black Magic talking.

However, Ruby could not hear their conversation.

“May the Queen be fine,” hope everything.

Suddenly, Charlotte coughed and shed a lot of blood. Suddenly all were shocked and increasingly put anxiety to the queen of this country.

The next second, Charlotte's eyes widened. Moreover, he was surprised when he saw that many heads were looking at him with anxious faces. However, Charlotte's dimming eyes could not see clearly.

All along, his gaze had blurred after joining the Black Magic. His life was like being snatched away, that was the consequence he got.

Immediately, Charlotte got up and removed herself from Steven's lap. Then, he pacified the atmosphere around with his one speech, “Prohibere!”

After one sound escaped, the atmosphere did indeed return to calm. However, Charlotte said, “Go, I don't want to serve you!” he said firmly. He held his head, it felt like he was about to break. After saying that, Charlotte passed by. His energy was already drained away after going through this many suspenseful dramas.

He returned and did not care about his enemies. All he wanted was to rest his body. He was also assisted by his ladies, re-entering the throne room.

Behind her back, all eyes were on her who was being swept by two loyal maids. Ellena loved that. For the next time, they failed again.

Sudden.

Uhuk!

Ellena coughed and her body collapsed, but was quickly captured by Gao.

“ELLENA!”
