The Second Prince's World Rewritten

Chapter 45 - End - My World Rewritten

Goodbye, world
Our shadows fall in straight lines they never cross
I was looking for a dream, a light, a scene I’d never known before
Let’s just make one promise

We only called each other’s names
We shared our own delights
We made sure of things in our own words
We hugged our own pain

If we can meet somewhere in this world in the future
Don’t forget ... about me, about the truth

I hope the promise we made will stay in our hearts and never fade away
Voice of the wind, beyond this map

Radeon was officially chosen the crown prince of Arthenz.

After his coronation, he does not take too long to plan his journey back to Schroder.

"I am sadden that you will still insist to live as a duke," the king tried to convince him to stay, "your mother and sister must miss you."

"They can visit, as usual," Radeon laughs, "Moreover, father I hope you live a long life that I do not need to move back here too soon."

Franz smiles at his son turning serious, "but promise me you will also visit me often."

"Of course."

In the carriage back to Schroder, he takes a glance to his dear wife sleeping with his children.

This is the family that he wants to protect.

This is what the rewrote all those pasts for.

It is completed.

Whenever I gazed at the face reflecting in the mirror
I pretended, pretended not to notice, and averted my eyes

The bluffs I mastered before I knew it
and the cowardice I can't, can't get rid of close my heart

Ah, I know I dropped it somewhere...
It's definitely here now
and whenever I clash with it deep in my heart
it emerges so profusely so

I've met you, and we spend so much precious time together
At one time I'd forgotten the feelings of loving someone
It's so painful, so trying, but so warm
and any scenery is so dazzlingly beautiful

I'm thinking about what you're doing
I remember the foolish, foolish conversations

Whenever your smile comes to mind
the sound of my heart I can't, I can't contain resounds

I wouldn't have known if I were alone
that you can be stronger by thinking of someone

I've chosen this path even while stumbling
If even one were different
I would never have met you
Thinking that, it's not bad, right?

The color of the town and rainy days shining this much
is because you're embracing this heart
that thinks of you so tightly

I've met you, and we spend so much precious time together
The happiness we put together, connecting what we've found
and the joy of the days we spend hand-in-hand laughing together
I want to feel them forever by your side

I love you
