Chapter 89: The Ending that will Happen Someday
"Shiro-dono!"
As soon as we entered the royal castle, Marquis Andrei rushed over.
"What's his condition?"
"He's not suffering or having trouble breathing at all. Rather the opposite."
"I'm going to try some healing magic. Please show me the way."
"Healing? I thought healing magic only worked on external injuries."
"Only a normal mage. Mine can heal internal injuries."
I've proven it many times.
If it's not an instant death, I can somehow manage
"If that doesn't work, I'll try antidote magic."
"......I understand."
The Marquis probably knows
But if that doesn't work...
---------
A large room
The king was sleeping in a huge bed with a canopy
Surprisingly cold to the touch
Breathing seems to disappear at any moment
Still, I chant
"Sunlight heal"
Even if one's stomach is gaping open
Even if one's limbs are torn
The highest healing magic can heal it
"......"
"No, how about antidote..."
"Shiro-dono"
The marquis stopped me
"Ah... yes."
I realize now that I'm wasting my mana.
"He's already 80 years old. He was prepared for this to happen at any moment."
Old age
“Uu… Andrei, huh?”
"Yes, I am here. Your Majesty."
"I'm sorry... my fate. I'm afraid I'm done here."
"That kind of thing is..."
"You're a terrible liar when you're upset."
“Your Majesty, please stay strong! There's so much more to do, so much more to see!”
"Fuu... no, there isn't"
"Your Majesty..."
"There is no such thing. There is nothing more I have to do. Quies has grown strong, he has friends to support him, and I have found a hero to protect the country... Ah, I forgot one thing."
"Please let me know how I can help!"
"Call Shiro and Quies... and the others"
--------
5 people gathered
Quies
Druknen
Sylvie
Andrei
and me
"Druknen"
"Ha!"
“Please support Quies. He's too kind and lacking in judgment."
"Yes!"
"Andrei"
"I'm here"
"I'm sorry, but I need you to... a little longer. I think it's an unnecessary worry."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"Quies, Sylvie"
"Father!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Fufu... I wish you could have called me Father. Take care of the kingdom, even though there are many hardships and suffering ahead. You can rely on everyone."
"Shiro"
"I'm here"
"When I think back, from the first time I met you, I didn't feel like you're a stranger. I felt as if you were my son in a different way than I felt with Quies."
“I don't know about that. Still, I had a good time when I was with you.”
"Kuhaa... I see, I see"
--------------
I'm so sleepy.
I feel like I'm going to close my eyelids any minute.
My body is cold.
I can't even move.
My son
Quies' hand is so warm
My life is coming to an end, I know it.
But that is the inevitable end of a man.
I planted the seeds of the future
And it bloomed beautifully.
It's all right now, isn't it?
Now
I can come to you, right?
I can see her.
The figure of my wife reaching out to me
That's why
I'll be there.
I'm going now
