ELSWORD'S STORY.
BGM Sorry "But I love You" - Flaming Heart | Lon Music Official
Sixteen years ago, on September 10th, The first catastrophic event devastated the entire Velder Village. The event is called The First Velder War. On the same day, as the war was ongoing, a prince was born by the name of Elsword the Third. His father, King Elsword the Second was unfortunately killed as multiple Glitter Army attacked him at once. The King is now one of the courageous soldiers known in the entire Velder Village, even a statue was created in the center of the village. The Prince Elsword is also known as the Prince of War. Many citizens blamed his birth for the cause of the devastation due to the color of his eyes and his hair. His eyes reflected the bloody night sky of September 10th while his hair was like the fires that swallowed the entire village into ashes.
Every September 10th, the citizens of Velder place flowers that contains meaning behind near the names imprinted on a stone on the Velder Memorial.
Elsword hated this. He hated the day of September 10th. Ever since he was young, the only day he could walk outside was the Velder Memorial Day, but the citizens that blamed his birth would throw rocks at the innocent child. However, the brave prince did not shed a single tear.
"Your father loved a flower called Bird's Foot." The queen said to the lonely prince as he blankly stared out the window. He gulped down the fear of glares that still ached into his heart as he decided to go on a small journey to the mountain next to the Velder Village.
With only a picture in his hand, the prince set out on an embark by himself as he searched for the flower for an hour. He glimpsed a petite female that seems to be around his age with purple twin tails tied lowly. She was sleeping while resting her body on a giant tree. The boy blushed as he stared at her clear face but gulped down the nervousness to wake the girl up.
The mysterious girl stared at him with surprise yet the prince felt the sensation of fear in her amethyst eyes. Oh god.. She's scared of me, too. The boy thought to himself, however, to his surprise, she quickly brushed her anxiety away as she kindly showed him the location of the flower.
She's the only person that doesn't have the knowledge of Velder's Prince of War. Elsword did not want to lose the chance of actually making a friend he can safely communicate with. He invited her to go see the memorial, but she rejected. The sorrowfulness of being rejected ached into his heart even though he tried not to illustrate the pain. To his surprise, the petite girl invited him to see the Memorial with her aunt; he gladly accepted.
She introduced her new friend to her aunt. But the boy realized her aunt knew who he actually was. Without hesitation, the prince interrupted the old lady and smiled in order to hide the rudeness he just demonstrated.
Couple hours later, he was invited to spend the night at the girl's house; he accepted the offer gratefully. While the girl went up stairs to clean the guest room for him, Elsword held a quiet silence with her aunt.
"Please don't tell Aisha that I'm the Prince." The aunt nodded with caution as she stared into the bloody eyes of the prince. Sweat was tingling behind the aunt's back as Aisha happily walked downstairs.
Elsword and Aisha spent their Memorial Day together in the Velder Village as he thought that Aisha is a special person to him and the only person who accepted him. Fortunately, her aunt gave Aisha the permission to stay with Elsword for couple days, the boy and the girl was grateful at her offering.
Through the entire night, a thought would not disappear Elsword's mind.
Aisha's aunt could tell her that I'm the Prince of War…
At midnight, when no one was awake, he ordered two of his guards to go and kill the old lady silently. Anxiety was overwhelming Elsword at the thought of that he killed an innocent person in order to keep the special person next to him.
The following day, in order to keep Aisha next to his side, he offered her to become a pharmacist of Velder- she gladly accepts. She kisses him on his cheeks as happiness was over pouring her. Elsword was taken by surprise that he couldn't even stop the girl running back to her own home.
Couple hours later, he caught up with the girl who cried desperately at the sight of her dead aunt. Sudden pain of guilt ached into the prince's heart. What have I done… However, in order to be accepted by the girl he desperately loved, he remained silent as he reassured the girl.
A lot of events happened between the two in one year. As their relationship was growing bigger and bigger, they both realized they had mutual feelings. Aisha was also offered a job as a pharmacy teacher in the Velder Castle. They shared an embrace and kissed under the sunset. Romantic aura was swirling around them whenever they were next to each other.
Elsword was the one who changed Aisha's life and Aisha was the one who changed Elsword's life. They were a soulmate with an unbreakable bond.
On September 9th, Aisha found out who murdered her aunt a year ago.
"You Prince of War… you killed my aunt!"
"I hate you, Elsword."
Words Elsword never wanted to hear from the girl he loved were slipping out of her lips like it was nothing. His heart ached with pain as he silently watched her leave him behind.
Boom.
Citizens were frantically screaming while trying to evacuate. The Second Velder War started as the Glitter Army commanded another sudden attack.
There was nothing to lose anymore. He lost the girl he loved and now the village is in trouble- he was willing to sacrifice his pitiful life.
Vision blurry, multiple open scars spurting out blood as his energy was constantly being drained, and his throat was aching as he breathed in smoke. It was the thought of Velder citizens that will finally accept him as the Prince of Velder after the war is over that kept him going.
With barely any energy left, he forced his head to turn to meet the eyes of his pharmacist. He was taken by surprise. The girl he loved came back to him- but the sight of his being almost dying gave her a sympathy in her eyes.
Don't look at me like that, Aisha. I'm fine, I'll be okay. Stop crying, please. I'm sorry for what I have done, please forgive me.
The prince wanted to say so many things to the girl, but every time he opened his mouth, his throat burned like hell due to constant inhalation of the toxic smoke. But the sight of the person whom he loved crying desperately was what pained the prince the most.
"Elswo- Elsword, I'm sorry, I'm terribly sorry! I was just- I didn't mean to-" The girl apologized over and over. The prince painfully sat himself up to match his lips against hers as a farewell sign. He lifelessly fell to the floor.
"I'm sorry, too. I loved you, Aisha." With the last energy he had within his body, even when the smoke was burning the hell out of his throat, as his vision was becoming more blurry, he managed to apologize and confess to the girl he loved with his entire heart. Even though he couldn't manage to hear the girl's reply… he did not regret spending his last breath with her.
