Episode 14

(At night)

"Can we talk?" (Svana)

"Sure. What's on your mind?" (Arnel)

(takes a seat)

"….its about tomorrow. I want to… with Naiah and become… ghe! You know?! The "thing" I had asked you several times now that you always rejected!" (Svana)

[Svana has been asking that I took her as my wife since a year ago. Though I think she does that because Vesnya told her to, for the sake of revenge. Though I had rejected her when she brings that up before. But now…] (Arnel)

"Of course-..." (Arnel)

"I won't be a nuisance to you two! I know that you had no feelings for-… eh, what?" (Svana)

"I'll take you as my wife. Now that you are almost a full blown adult, there's no reason why I should reject your proposal." (Arnel)

"Y-you will…?" (Svana)

"But, do you really want to do this? If its revenge you wanted, I can helped you after I consummate with Naiah. Though, I cannot rid of that slave crest you had since its not your average slave seal." (Arnel)

"….I know. If you do that, a partial of my soul will be destroyed and I will become a human without any emotions. But!" (Svana)

(clench!)

"I would rather die than being unable to exact revenge to those people who destroyed my kingdom. That's why I choose the best option in becoming your wife, or at least, a mistress..." (Arnel)

[after spending time with Nia, she indeed become mature than she was before.] (Arnel)

"You sure you won't regret it later? As you know well, I'm a deeply corrupted perverted man as you always calls me." (Arnel)

(smirk)

"And do you think I'm a virtuous maiden? You had no idea what I had gone through after I became a slave at the age of ten… those never-ending defilement almost everyday for four years, only an insane man will take me as his wife if they knew this. Not to mentioned that my face is ugly disfigured with this scar that I got after ripping the bastard ear who had forced himself to me just days before I met you back then." (Svana)

[I had read her tragic past, but to think that she gone through all of those while still managed to stay sane… well, if you count her delusions out. She's really driven to her revenge.] (Arnel)

"And since you are a perverted sex maniac who likes redheads, why not I take this chance at least?" (Svana)

"You know I was only teasing you back then because of your cheekiness. But you are not ugly in my eyes…" (Arnel)

[well, if tomorrow's plan actually works, those scar of yours will be gone anyway…] (Arnel)

(silent)

(blush!)

"W-wha…? You teasing me again, aren't you?! How can you say this face is not ugly?! I know you like pretty girls like Naiah and Grandmo-… i-I mean big sis Nia who have beautiful facial figures! Th-that's it! You do had a thing for redheads…!" (Svana)

[So, she already knows that Nia is her grandmother…] (Arnel)

"No. Your beautiful, that is the truth." (Arnel)

"S-stop talking nones-…" (Svana)

"You are." (Arnel)

(stand up)

(flustering!)

(slowly approach)

(lifts hand)

"Eep!" (Svana)

(fix hair)

"Huh?" (Svana)

"Your beautiful, Svana…" (Arnel)

"….dammit… to think I'm the one who got swayed with words even though I was trying to charm you for my ambitions… you really a bastard, perverted man, you know that…?" (Svana)

(bashfully looks away)

(gently brings face to face)

"And this bastard will be your man who accept you for all you are…" (Arnel)

(gaze eyes intently)

(…..kisses)

...….

(Morning of the Next day)

[Today will be the first step for to initiate the plans I had constructed since woken up in this world as Arnel. I had done all that I can to ensure everything was set in motion to this moment, but… after this day, I will become a far different person than I am, in both of my lifetimes as a human being. I may regret the decision that I chose this moment in the future, I will let my future self deal with that…] (Arnel)

"You guys ready?" (Arnel)

"Nn." (Naiah)

"Lets get going already! This dress is making my skin itch and its hot!" (Svana)

[This tomboy… anyway.] (Arnel)

(door opens!)

(clapping!)

(Walks towards the altar together)

(stops)

"The grooms has come with arms link in front of the Altars of Lord Arnur. Arnel, Naiah, and Svana. The marriage ceremony will now begin!" (Vesnya)

Thus, the marriage ceremony began.

.....

(noon)

(after the marriage ceremony concluded)

(the feast in the village center)

"Mou~….! I want to get older fast like Svana and get marry as well~…!" (Mina)

(grumbling)

"You still a brat, Minah~…! But, if you want, we can get married when we grow up!" (Heden)

(proclaim smugly)

"What?! No way! I will be the one marry Mina! And you a brat as well!!" (Jack)

(started fighting)

"*sigh…! These kids…" (Vesnya)

(facepalm)

"Hahaha…! Let them be, Mother. They just jealous seeing Svana who's just like them got married all of a sudden, even though they just arrived "yesterday"." (Frena)

(eyebrow twitch!)

(gloom)

"….you right… the fault is all mine…" (Vesnya)

(flinch!)

"….a-ah! We should celebrate this joyful moment, Mother! Ahahah~…!" (Frena)

(quickly escape!)

(approach)

"…Mother…" (Naiah)

(fix expression)

"Its okay… it will over soon anyway… so? How is our king and queens feeling right now~…?!" (Vesnya)

(smile, smile)

"Thank you for giving us this opportunity, Mother. After all you done, you are the main character for today rather than us." (Naiah)

(bows gracefully)

"Ohohoh~… I knew I pick the right dress for you." (Vesnya)

(cheerfully conversing with ladylike vibe)

[Naiah's manners and speech is more mature that she did after spending time with Nia in the recent years. She now and before are like two different person all together. This all thanks to Nia who's been helping her since then…] (Arnel)

"…. Though, why I haven't see Svana around?" (Vesnya)

"Ah, she…" (Naiah)

[After the marriage ceremony ended earlier, Svana made her escape as soon as we step out from the temple's entrance while shouting "I can't stand this dress anymore!!". She's been gone since-… oh, forget it. There she is…] (Arnel)

"Heyaa~…! I'm back! Anyone miss me?!" (Svana)

(grin smugly)

[did she hate the dress she had earlier for her to change to her usual clothes? To think this tomboyish young lady is my wife… Look at Nia. She looks like she's about to faint seeing her wearing casual clothes in her own wedding day… or not.] (Arnel)

(grumble)

"Svana…?" (Vesnya)

"Heyo grandma-… eekk!!" (Svana)

[yup. Svana is in big this time…] (Arnel)

...….

(later at the evening)

[The feast is almost at its end and the villagers looked quite pleased and happy with the foods and drinks. But all of this will change in just a moment…] (Arnel)

"May I have everyone attention, please." (Vesnya)

(All eyes on Vesnya)

[She's starting… I hoped this will be alright…] (Arnel)

"As you all, today is a gracious and wonderful day not only for the married couple, but to all of us in this village as well." (Vesnya)

"Yea! It's been so long since we had any celebration like this!" (Arik)

"Aye!!!" (the villagers)

(laughing fills the air)

"…..yes. But I had a confession to make…" (Vesnya)

(everyone stops talking)

(tensed)

(anxious)

"…You may be wondering why Svana suddenly turned into an adult in just a day and suddenly got married, yes…?" (Vesnya)

(no one replies)

"Its because I trapped you all in this place using my powers. But my magic isn't affecting Svana since she's a special child… the truth is… I am a Transcendent. A very old one as well…" (Vesnya)

(several people gasped)

"I'm sure I had no need to explain what Transcendent is since even a child knows about them. But I tell you all this, I had been keeping you all in an endless loop by the time you entered this realm that I've created as my exile. Frena…" (Vesnya)

"….." (Frena)

"You are the first one who I taken inside this realm nine hundred years ago. The second one is Arik, seven hundred years ago, the third one is….." (Vesnya)

[She continues saying the villagers name one person at a time along telling them how long had they been inside this village.] (Arnel)

"And lastly, Arnel, Naiah and Svana. Five years ago… aside from Svana, everyone of you had been stuck in an endless repeating loop of a single day. That why none of you aged since the day you arrived in this village." (Vesnya)

(silent fells the air)

"….. Then… that's the reason why I'm not getting old even though I woke up everyday…?" (Alra)

(guilty expression)

"I'm sure you all felt angry that I'm didn't tell you this… but if I did. None of you will stay and I… would be left alone in this place…" (Vesnya)

(tearing)

"…. Angry? Why would I be angry? Are you angry, Alra?" (Frena)

"I ain't. You angry, Arik?" (Alra)

"Huh?" (Vesnya)

"Nu uh…. Are you…?" (Arik)

[The adults of the village then ask the next and the next. But all their answer is "no", leaving Nia's puzzled and bewildered than her gloomy expression when explaining all of this.] (Arnel)

"B-but?! I imprisoned you all for my own needs! How come you all aren't mad to my actions!?" (Vesnya)

"If all, we are grateful for what you had done to us, Mother. Before you take us, we were outcast by the world. And you lend your hand regardless of our past. And to tell you the truth… we kinda know that this place ain't normal for sometimes now… hehe…" (Frena)

"…wha…?" (Vesnya)
