Shattered

Aries and Pieffer gazed at each other for a long while. The princess was starting to calm down but the dark essence all over her body was not fading away.

"Right," the princess finally said a word and stopped struggling underneath him. "Though I am not possessed, I cannot change the fact that I am born with this darkness. Though I didn't want this and every day of my life I am fighting against what I truly am, I will never be who I wanted to be. But believe me, Aries, I am trying my best to become a good person," she tenderly smiled and gently held the hands of Aries. "I know purging evil spirits is your job and you want to do it well. I cannot hold you back from fulfilling your duty," tears fell from her eyes as she said, "I'm sorry for handling this situation on my own. I had been selfish and things went out like this. You're right," she tightened her grip on his hands. "I cannot fight this darkness forever. Kill me now. Free me from my curse."
