Chapter 1: A Chance for Life?

Chapter 1 : A Chance for Life? [勝利のチャンス？]

Part |

__________________________________________

Am I weak?

Was I supposed to be strong?

Am I a mistake?

Can I die now?

What is the meaning of life for a useless container like me?

Why does everyone hate me?

W-why-hy-wh-w-hy-y?

I want to die.

Kill me.

__________________________________________

No. I should just kill myself.

“A rope and a fan...."

A little voice spoke.

“Do I even deserve to live?"

I probably don't even have any value..

“It will all be over soon.."

I want to die.....

I take the rope, tie a knot and then hang it on the ceiling fan.

I look at the time of my death.

2:48 am , 12th of May, Sunday, Year 519E,

At Noire Regim's apartment, The Servem Country.

Well, At least It's suicide not murder, right?

I take the hoop of the rope and fix it on my neck.

All I have to do is jump off the chair.

Nobody will notice. Nobody will cry.

I have no regrets.

It's all a lie.

[Are you sure you want to die?]

A dark voice spoke in my head.

What?

“B-but, is there any point in me living?"

I stutter.

[Who decided that?]

Who?

Who do you mean?

“A-and who ar-re you to decide my wo-worth?"

I gather up my courage.

I open up my eyes.

Nobody?

It's all black and white.

Is this death?

Wait!

I'm hanging but I'm not feeling any pain?

Wha-

[I am your saviour. ]

The voice sounds so sadistic. It's scary.

“Wh-what do you wa-ant?"

I am so scared my whole body is twitching.

[I will give you power. I will give you everything. All will be yours.]

Greed.

Greed was one thing I was not able to feel.

I am the young lady of the Duke.

I had everything.

Everything.

I have nothing now.

Greed filled my eyes grey.

“Wh-hat is it that I have t-to do?

I wanted it. I want it. Everything.

[ Go to the place on the map. Free me. I will give you 'Everything'.]

Those words.

I will follow them.

“Und-derstood."

With that.

I'm gone.

Blink.

Everything is gone.

“Gasp!."

What was that?

Was that a dream?

I glance over to the clock.

12th of May, 12 pm.

W-what?

How?

B-but... Wasn't -?!

“Young Mistress, your breakfast is ready.”

A mature voice spoke.

“Thank you Margaretta, you are the only one who cares about me.."

Margaretta was my maid. The only person who cared about me.

She was fired from her job and then sent to serve the useless 3rd mistress of the Duke Velhram.

I get up and to the living room of my 4BHK Apartment , which was the cheapest thing I could afford.

I am so pitiful.....

I gaze out of the windows to the marble city we built.

The old ancestors would be ashamed of the waste of materials....

“Young mistress, do you have to go to school today?"

I was going to 'The Furnicke Academy for Nobles.'

I hate that place.

I want to drop out-

Wait!

The map!

Where is the map?!

D-Don't tell me that....

Is it in my school?!?!
