Chapter 32: Forgiveness

In his youth, Aiz was convinced he could change the world. He thought he could extend a helping hand to the suffering people, that he’d never forsake anyone who sought his support. He believed that he’d become a good king.

Only youngsters could find such groundless optimism in their hearts. They were fearless, believing that they were capable of anything.

Aiz used to be foolish, certainly, but he had yet to become scum. If he could, he’d gladly trade his wisdom for the beautiful dreams he used to have.

“I’m leaving tomorrow, but don’t worry Aiz... I’ll defeat the witch and I’ll come back. I promise.”

He still remembered how Lilia had smiled as she said those words. Lilia was nine years younger than him, and he’d always treasured the pink-haired girl like his own sister.

She was full of mirth and loved to admire flowers... Had she not been born as the saint, she would most likely never have chosen to involve herself in the war against the witch. She was a gentle soul—the type that wouldn’t hurt a fly.

She had a dream, though. After saving the world, she wanted to step down from her role as the saint, fall in love like a normal girl, and start a family. It was such an ordinary wish...but Aiz remembered how precious that dream was to her.

And yet, he’d been the one to who’d taken that dream away from her. He’d told her that even if she came back victorious, she’d turn into the next witch.

Aiz had always been told not to tell the saint the truth, but he’d decided to do so anyway. He didn’t have any ill will—all he wanted was to find a way to change fate. He didn’t want a gentle soul like Lilia to become a hateful witch.

However, he hadn’t had a plan. He hadn’t thought of what would happen if the saint gave up on fighting the witch. He just thought that there had to be a way. As long as he told Lilia, they’d find a solution, somehow.

The only thing he won from speaking the truth was Lilia’s death.

Lilia fell into despair. She’d understood that no matter what she chose to do, her dream would never come true.

She’d been taken away from her parents at birth and raised for the sole sake of defeating the witch. She’d studied and trained hard with that goal in mind. The only reason she’d been able to withstand the hardships was her steadfast belief that, at the end of her path, happiness was waiting for her.

Because of Aiz, she’d learned that there was no place for her in the peaceful world she was forced to create.

Aiz couldn’t begin to imagine how painful that must have been. The young girl who loved to smile became a shell of her former self. After a while, she’d disappeared, leaving her knights behind.

As soon as word had reached him, Aiz had led an army to search for her. He prayed that she hadn’t done anything rash.
