CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
The world for Charlotte

The door of the room was indeed just as a decoration, but it was a portal coated with illusion magic so that the way it entered was not opened, but just penetrated easily as if there had never been a door.

Seen there, Ellena was facing Charlotte. Ellena was on the lip of the lake, while Charlotte was standing in the middle of the lake. Somehow, the water became like a floor for the woman.

“Who is Varl, Ruby, Yuya, Ciel, Gao, Steven, Mae, Hanae, and Gall?” ask Ellena in front of Charlotte.

Hearing that, Varl and Elise who were hiding behind the bushes frowned. “Ke-why did Ellena say that? What... has he forgotten about us?” varl whispered to Elise who was beside him.

Still the same, Charlotte's face was expressionless but it seemed that the woman was deeply regretting what had happened to the girl before her. “Ellena Smith, really don't you remember?”

Ellena shook her head. “I also don't know what this place is. Am I dreaming, Her Majesty the Queen?”

Deg.

Varl widened his eyes to hear Ellena say that. Is it true that Ellena has forgotten everything that happened all this time?

“Go back to your world, Ellena. You... don't deserve to be here!” charlotte said with her flat face but her voice slightly raised.

“Back? Wasn't I just dreaming?” Ellena smiled. “This world. While still here, I will enjoy it for a moment before I wake up from this dream, Your Majesty. Can?”

Hearing that, Varl slightly smiled. “Truely, although his memory is lost, he never changes.”

“Why do you like this world so much?” charlotte asked again, asking Ellena for a reason to be enthusiastic about the world that is not the girl's world.

Ellena walked forward, approaching Charlotte. Unexpectedly, the water also solidified when Ellena's feet touched it, just like it did for Charlotte. Ellena was surprised, but she was also very happy.

The girl ran, danced, and screamed. He let go of all the things he had been holding. He felt very happy in a place he did not know, he did not even remember anything.

Ellena also forgot the pain and coldness that enveloped her body. The heart that was shackled by the ice crystal was like a moment of silence, letting Ellena enjoy this beautiful world for a moment.

“You know, Your Majesty that this world is beautiful.” Ellena extended her words to explain how beautiful the world she was in right now was. “Although this is a dream though, I will never want to wake up from this dream.”

Charlotte looked more and more in wonder. His dim silver eyes without the light of life began to see how happy the girl before him would be to the world Charlotte had hated to make her change.

“Your Highness Charlotte, open your eyes. Really, you are not alone. There are hills, clouds, trees, peacocks, and also this lake. Everything is there for you, Your Majesty.”

Ellena smiled warmly and innocently, she held the hand of Charlotte who was so soft, smooth, and also white. Very beautiful with her pointy fingers and nails that are always beautifully maintained.

“The world is so vast for you, Your Majesty. Out there too, will definitely be many people and places waiting for your presence.”

“Is that so?”

“Ya.” Ellena nodded excitedly. “Kata Miko my best friend, the world is actually very crowded, but sometimes we ourselves are imprisoned when out there there must be people who love you very much, just like Miko who loves me.”

“You are not alone, Your Majesty. Try to go out and see, the world is so crowded! It could be, your people miss you! Really, who is not interested in your very authoritative self?”

Again, Ellena's smile expands. He spread his affection to the queen whom he thought he had met in a dream. Yes, the crystal from the ice curse made Ellena become confused as to which one was the reality and which one was the dream.

As a result of the crystal, Ellena's consciousness was slowly snatched away. He began to forget one by one that had been experienced so far, except the memory of when he was in his own world. It was indeed the workings of ice crystals that could only happen in this world.

Suddenly, Charlotte releases Ellena's hand. He shook his head. “No, this world hates me hundreds of thousands of years ago and I also hate this world a lot. No one loves me—”

“There. Everyone must love you. If anyone hates anything, it feels like nothing. Because, life is too short if we only think of people who do not like us.”

Ellena took a long breath. He understands that feeling, a sense of being alone and just stuck with his own thoughts.

“I... it's numb.” Charlotte looked at Ellena. “I used to believe that, but the world does hate me so much that I have to experience the same thing as long as this world is still spinning. In fact, so many events, I forgot how to cry or smile at something happy. Because... to me everything is the same.”

Charlotte looked up, staring at the slowly moving clouds up there.

“I was once a fool loving this world who had hated me. Love is painful, as is beautiful twilight at the beginning but painful at the end because in the end, there is only darkness at the end there.” Charlotte was getting deeper into talking about her heart.

“Love is not that sweet, Your Majesty. The definition of love is very broad, depending on how you look at it. However, believe me, that freeing yourself from trauma will actually lead you to happiness.”

“Really? What... I won't feel disappointed again?”

Ellena nodded quickly. “No, there will definitely be times when you are disappointed, but. God gave nine tribulations and one happy, so what? That one happiness may wipe away misery. But, if reversed, then we will only get bored because we always feel happy and we can only remember one misery.”

Hearing that, Charlotte took more and more attention. Before, he had never discussed matters of the heart to anyone.

“Luka is indeed very easy to get, just like liver injury. Although it has been maintained completely, sometimes expectations even disappoint us. But, it all depends on us, whether to be treated with positive activities or instead let it until the time that makes it dry.”

Ellena held Charlotte's hands.

“Your Majesty, this world is for you. Get out of your own prison and see, there are still many people waiting for you to come back. Forget the past that holds you back and remedy it with the presence of new, more pleasant people.”

Ellena's smile as a crescent moon shone on Charlotte's heart. Slowly, the woman's eyes began to clear slightly. The membrane covering her net was slightly lost though not all, but she began to understand the feelings Ellena conveyed.

But suddenly.

“Detach Ellie, Queen Charlotte!” Steven shouting. Beside him were his comrades, staring fiercely at Charlotte who was standing opposite Ellena.
