She said she has a surprise for me.

"No peeking!!" Iris says. "Okay now, open!!"

As she told me to, I opened my eyes.
Before me, stood the girl who sacrificed her life for me back then.

"V-V'anne?! It is you!" I gasped and instantly hugged her tight.
She was dressed so simply, yet her beauty still stands out.

"H-Hello.. future queen.." V'anne shyly smiles at me.

"Please, Algaia is fine! No more future stuff"
I told her as I giggle. I feel happy to see her again.

"Prince Alistair.. told me..
looks like you won the battle.
I'm proud of you"
V'anne says.

Everything seems so perfect.
Like it was all just a dream.
But now it is all but reality.

End of Algaia's POV
Alistair's POV

Maybe I'm selfish.
Or maybe I'm a fool.
Maybe both.
Who knows?
To you..
It's a mystery.

If I only make miracles for her,
is that a bad thing?
I don't mind being bad then.
This power is out of ordinary.
That it should only be used for one purpose.

Mine is to make her happy. That is my purpose.

I've heard about how my brothers were saved by our mother.
I'm glad.

"Your highness, a visitor.."

I turned around and fell speechless for a second.

"Hayce.." I looked at him, my brother whom I fought with a million times.
My brother whose love of his life was stolen by me.

"Look.. I didn't come here to make peace.
I just came here to tell you.. to forget about me!
I know full well the terror of the miracles.
But I am not afraid to fight you to death again.
I just want you to forget you have a brother like me"

Hayce starts talking angrily and points a finger at me.

I couldn't help but chuckle and then raise one
brow at him with a teasing smile.
"Is that you being tsundere again?"

"I refuse to make peace with you.
I don't ever want to speak to you again nor
do I want to see you once more.
From this day on, our bonds end."

Hayce became serious and turned around after talking.

"What can I do to make you accept everything..?"
I asked him in a low voice.
I knew that moment Hayce was too bitter to move on.

"I only came to tell you that.
And that to tell you for the last time..
Take care of my bride. Goodbye."

Hayce immediately walked away after leaving me those words.

I couldn't think of anything to say to stop him.
Out of all people, I am the one who knows best his
strong feelings for my beloved girl, Algaia.
I can only accept the fact that it can't be a perfect ending
where I get to be with her again and at the same time,
at peace with my brothers. You can't have it all.
But I'm glad. I'm thankful and content.
It is more than I could ever ask for.

I do not want to use my powers to make a perfect reality.
It will seem false. It's fine.. the way things ended.
I'm glad and content.

But I can't help but reminiscence about it.
Our memories as brothers..
Our endless fights..

"When it rains.. I will remember your greetings from hell"
I told my brother Hellios the first time I met them again
in the human realm..
