Chapter 8 regrets

Many say to cherish what you have right now because you might never have it again.

I never understood those words.

I never understood it at all because I had nothing around me .

I Elizabeth vi brateni was always alone .

My mother died few years after she gave birth to me while my father after my mother's death didn't come visit me once until I was 12 the only reason he came when I asked him the answer I got was " I realised that we were important".

To this I couldn't say anything No my voice wouldn't come out.

My siblings where no better my oldest sister always trained never giving family love always cold then there was my second sister who was just a fox ever since she was little she was greedy as well as when she realised that she couldn't take the throne she started to make connections started to act "nice"

While I was left with nothing "no talent like my oldest sister" "no connections like my second oldest sister".

I was truly hopeless it be more adequate to say that I had given up .

But just before my will to live my about to die .

I met him a boy with black hair and black eyes which wasn't that rare but wasn't that common as well.

That day, I had ran away in secret at night by taking some invisibility potion. I had planed to end it all by jumping off the bridge when he appeared behind me without me noticing.

I looked at him as I was standing at the edge of the bridge.

When he grabbed me and pulled me closer the world around me started to break no the colourless world broke like glass and then I saw it his smile.

A smile which would put my heart at ease .

This feeling was something I never had experienced at all.

My heart was beating so loud to me at least.

I was even more surprised when he took out ointment and little medicine.

I watched his hands move confused as I looked at where he started to put the ointment and medicine.

It was wounds it wasn't big wounds but it was wounds none the less it seemed I had gotten hurt while coming here .

Few minutes passed after everything was done he left not asking my situation or nothing.

It was as if he was there just to help me but I told myself he just thought I was pityfull.

I moved my arm a little and something dropped on the ground.

I looked down to see what it was and it was a paper.

I was confused on how this paper dropped out of my hand . I then picked it up and noticed it was folded.

I open the folded paper as what would be written would make me cry as if these things that were written were the things I wanted my family or anyone else to say .

[Note : I don't know what's going on,nor do I know your situation

I want to say that if you think there is no one who cares if you die then your wrong because one person cares and he is right here as well as thanks you for living]

Half a month passed and we met on the bridge every day we talked for hours.

I never knew his name and he didn't know mine either it made me feel as if I was me and not Elizabeth vi brateni.

But all things had to end tho as the day came when he had to go to another place .

When he told me this I was shocked and I stayed in my room for a few days to accept it , accept that he was leaving.

Since he was leaving on the last day I gave a red ribbon and a sword it was not a special sword but it was a sword with a special carving done by me .

After that when my fifteen birthday came around a hero that was said to represent the goddess appeared.

When I looked at him I already knew who he was but I couldn't say anything rather I acted arrogant denying it all .

When I was ready to face it all . The day he was supposed to return he didn't.

He is hailed as a hero but nobody knew the truth.

I really wanted to deny it but after the party came out of his room they all looked depressed.

I went a few days later that's when I saw it the ribbon I had given it was there meaning that he was him .

I could only regret everything not talking to him properly not treating him normally, not expressing myself.

I hated myself, I hated myself for not doing anything.

Two years have passed now I am 17 and I am a second year in the hero academy.

The hero academy was created 10 year's ago but two years ago after the hero died the principle wanted to create another hero like Shinji.

I became known as the "ruthless princess"

After a while I started to go back to adventuring but this time instead of using by B rank adventure id I made a new one .

I hid my appearance using the artifact of concealment which conceals appearances.

The place I decided to do it was the city of alliance.

I got there in time for the main event that was happening that being dungeon exploration for newbies.

It seems they found a new dungeon which was easy rank and decided it be a good learning environment for the new adventures who were starting out .

I also learned everything about this little expedition.

I learnt about the sliver eagle but the one which caught my eyes the most was the A+ rank adventure Shinji.

He had the same name everything about him felt familiar .

My instincts were screaming something was wrong.

So without being noticed I followed him I even used a national grade artifact World severance which completely hides my self making it so that I completely get severed from the world .

What I saw was everything I expected but what caught be off guard was his weapon it was the same .

My mind began running in hyper speeds.

I didn't get angry all I had was why he had it my mind became blank as before I knew it I was already at the door where he went through.

I sighed as the personal guards put on me had come .

"Princess we have arrived we hope you didn't have any trouble" the captain spoke .

"No it's fine let's get out of here and back to the inn" she tried to keep her usual cold voice but it was still shaken.

She still remembered how he fought it was the same as him but it was like a machine with no emotions while the hero had emotions even when he killed someone you would feel the sadness, you would feel emotions.

But I should really ask him where he got that sword from .

"Just who are you?"she spoke quietly

"Princess?" The guard captain spoke looking back at her who has stopped walking.

"It's nothing " saying only this much she would walk past the captain.
