You Died

You died.
Lord Kardin Ferdian, master of the Grand Ducal Ferdian house of the Helen Empire, died.

I, Shallen Ferdian, his wife, held my husband’s funeral today.

This was the third time, and I lost you again.

Just where did it all go wrong.
Was it from the very moment I seized the hand you held out to me?

If it is because you took in me, abandoned by God, that you must suffer…….
Then with what kind of eyes should I look at you next time?

I withdrew the hand I had placed upon the coffin covered in white snow, and slowly opened my mouth.

“We’ll see each other again, won’t we? See you soon.”

I turned around and walked along the path where the snow had piled up thickly.

Hoping that in the next life, at least, your winter would not be so bitterly cold.
