"My lady... You must run... " That's the last word she said before she collapsed on the floor.
"Zi Yan!" I don't have any other thing I have to do but call her name.
This isn't supposed to happen; I am not supposed to lose her here.
"Bitch how dare you to kick me?!" I tried to look at the person who attacked us, and now his eyes are bloodshot, and I think it's because of Zi Yan.
"My lady... please leave right now." I didn't listen to her and tried to bring her with me.
"No Zi Yan, we must leave together, didn't you tell me that you'll never leave me?" I asked with a face full of tears.
"Your highness... I'm sorry I won't be able to accompany you from now on, Zi Yan hope... that your highness can tell it to my parents and siblings that I'm not going... home anymore." She smiled at me, and then she closed her eyes.
"Zi Yan, please don't leave me. We must escape from this forest and live a normal life. We don't need them, so please don't leave me. You're the only one I have. Please, let's go to your home. I will come with you," I tried to call her again, but she never gave a response. I don't even know what to do; my tears just won't stop falling. I tried to use my cloth to clog her injury so that no more blood would leak, but there's no stopping it.
"That woman is no more," Someone behind me said, and I immediately turned my head to look at it.
I saw a very beautiful woman sitting on a big stone with her clothes hanging in the wind.
"Who... Who are you? "
She just smiled at me and gave me something, but I didn't look at it and stared at her until her silhouette could not be seen.
I didn't have the time to look at what she gave me and immediately brought Zi Yan's body with me.
After one hour of walking, I have found a very suitable place for her to rest. It is a beautiful land with so many flowers in it, and the trees also bloom with peach blossoms.
I laid her body on the side, and then I tried to find a rock that I could use to bury her body.
While digging a hole, I'm also crying, reminiscing about the memories that I had with the person whom I treat as my friend and also a mother who looked after me from my childhood.
Why? Why do I need to experience these kinds of painful things? Have I done sinful deeds from my fast life, or is Siming just playing with my fate?
When I have finished digging the hole, I've gathered a big pile of flowers on it so that it can serve as her bedding, and then I put her body on it.
I've tried to hold her a little longer before I let go. I kissed her forehead and gave my thanks for taking care of me.
After those simple actions, I immediately filled the whole with the soil that's from it earlier, and after that, I gave her grave a final touch by adding a beautiful Stone and also the golden hairpin that I have in my hair.
Now you can finally go home.
I love you, Zi Yan.
And thank you for everything.
