What if Smoked Cheese Cookie had died instead... T_T
.... My monarch, my hero, is truly a magnificent person. I'm not being sarcastic; I mean it. Even when broken, fallen, and plunged into the depths of the abyss, she is someone who forces a smile, saying she can overcome it. .... Heaven is always on her side. Even when shattered and torn to pieces, she always returns with dignity, spreading her brilliant wings. I already knew that such happiness wouldn't last forever. .... The sun that shone most brilliantly has set. Into the endless darkness, that sun could never rise again. .... Just. Just to save someone like me, she threw away her life. Helplessly, damnably... I couldn't do a single thing. I couldn't even save one dying person. ..... How have I been living since she left? It's a pathetic sight. Without her, the whole world feels like a dull, monochrome void. .... Why. Just why, exactly. What was the reason you threw your life away just to save me? You said you would be by my side forever. So why did you leave first? .... Why... ... WHY!!! .... ..... I'm sorry for shouting. I just missed you so much. Because I longed for you, Because I desperately hoped you would return. .... You can spit on me and call me a bastard who couldn't even save you. So please. Won't you just appear before my eyes once more?

On the day the brightest sun set, Smoked Cheese Cookie could not forget that day. No, even if he wanted to forget, he couldn't. Even as she bled before his eyes and her body was shattered to pieces, the face of the woman who forced a smile upon seeing that he was unharmed still flickers in a corner of his memory.
She, who was always as brilliant as the high-rising sun, fell into the deep darkness.
.....
Even after that hellish moment passed, he still cannot forget her. She was a meddlesome, greedy woman, but he misses even those frustrating remarks she made—saying that even a traitorous rebel was 'hers' and telling him not to get hurt.
...And, the present.
4:00 AM.
Just as the desert sands begin to cool.
A man sits nearby, letting out nothing but sighs.
It was Smoked Cheese Cookie.
.....
Today feels so empty again.
Looking around, he sees the jasmine flowers she was so crazy about blooming in a dazzling white.
....
It makes him feel sick. Everywhere he looks in this world, traces of her are scattered, yet she herself is not by his side.
......
A tear falls from his left eye.
She, who had laughed boldly saying she would always be in a high place, seemed to have been erased from his life after 'that day'.
Just then.
Footsteps are heard from somewhere. He lifts his head.
His eyes tremble. It's her. It's the person he has been waiting for unto death.
.....My Lady Guest?
