Chapter 61: Yandere Love

The maids bring my dress and accessories to help me get dressed to go out while Aiden waits calmly. After some time, I’m dressed in a white frilly dress with accessories.

"Hey, Aiden, I’ll let you guide the date. If it’s not perfect and fun, I’ll throw you in the moat around the castle!" I can’t hide the arrogance in my voice, so even when I’m trying to be nice, it comes out poorly.

"Of course, princess. I’ll give you a pleasant date. I know some fun places," he confirms with a smile as he raises his hand for me to take.

"..." I look at him, but I don’t take his hand. I still have at least some pride as a man, and I won’t just hand him my hand.

"How cold, princess, but I understand. Could you please do me the honor of walking in front of me and guiding you?"

"Stop stalling! We have limited time and a lot of money to spend," I say to him, annoyed by his stalling.

"Okay, then follow me," he starts walking through the castle, and I quickly follow.

"Princess, you... seem different," he says as we walk through the castle corridors, which makes me a little nervous.

"Different how?" I wonder if he’s noticed any differences. I’m not sure if I’m acting perfectly like the Shizune of this world, even though I am her.

"You seem to have accepted your fate." I’m momentarily relieved by what he says.

"... That’s not very nice to say," I hate death, and Sayuri really screwed me over in every possible way by giving me this unfair curse.

"It’s not an insult, princess. A few days ago, you seemed increasingly angry and irritable. Everyone close to you knows how terrible it is for you to have a predetermined fate."

"But now you seem to have accepted your inevitable end and are seeking to have some fun... that’s good. I didn’t want you to die without at least being a little happy," he speaks with a seriousness different from his usual tone.

"..."

"If I’m going to die, I need to enjoy myself before ending up in hell," I briefly look out the window as we walk, the sky is beautiful, and it will be a sunny day.

"..."

"Princess, why do you think you’ll end up in hell? You’re not good, but you’ve never done anything bad either. I’m sure that just throwing tantrums sometimes doesn’t guarantee you a one-way ticket to hell."

"I... just have that feeling," I’m not referring to literal hell, but to the fact that I’ll be going to a place where I’ll have hellish experiences.

"Haha, you sound like an old war veteran talking like that. In the end, princess, nobody knows if they’ll go to hell or not. Don’t worry so much, you’re young, you don’t carry many sins."

"Aiden, you love me... right?" I decide to change the subject and ask something that piques my curiosity.

"Certainly, princess," he confirms with a smile.

"Is betrayal a very bad thing when done between people who are supposed to love each other?" Because Sayuri has such extreme hatred for it. I understand she would be angry, but the level of her rage was too high.

"Yes, princess, it’s something that is unforgivable for many," he responds seriously.

I asked him that because I want to know what a Yandere thinks about betrayal.

"Aiden, if we were a couple and I betrayed you, what would you do?"

"I would kill myself."

"!!!"

"Why?" I don’t understand, why would they do that? Why go so far? Why kill, torture, and make the person you love suffer just to obtain that person as if they were a possession or an object?

"Aiden, I don’t understand this. Why would you kill yourself because of that? Why not just move on?"

"Princess, I don’t think you understand what love is. Love is something complex; it appears in many forms, and it’s different for each person."

"Princess, for certain people, love is equivalent to their own life. There are people who have miserable lives, and the only thing that sweetens their lives is love."

"And those people will do anything to maintain that sweetness in their life."

"In other cases, people have few feelings, and love comes as such a strong feeling that it covers all others, and that’s why these people have a need to maintain that feeling by any means possible."

"And there are those whose feelings have simply grown to an unbearable level over time. For most people, feelings either cool off or stagnate."

"But some people end up having them grow without limit until they become almost a disease."

"For the people in these examples, love is like their world; everything revolves around that feeling."

"Aiden, which category are you in?"

"I’m a miserable one. I’ve lived my life in pure waste without ever really connecting with anything. My family is a bunch of trash, so I left them to become a knight."

"And I’ve never really connected truly with anyone. I don’t have friends or anything like that. It was when I met you that it happened."

"You had an air of detachment from others that attracted me. You reminded me of myself."

"You, who have the love of many, but limited time, and me, who has no one’s love but all the time in the world we’re like opposites, and I was drawn to your loneliness."

"We’re both lonely people, and that’s why I fell in love with you at first sight. As a swordsman, it’s natural for me to recognize people just by looking at them."

"So I decided that since I’m lonely and you are too, I wanted to teach you about love and share the feeling I’ve kept and deeply buried in my heart."

"So without you here, I’ll just go back to an empty life with no one. In fact, I’ve really enjoyed the time we’ve spent together; it’s been the best of my whole life."

"I like your arrogance and vanity; they hide your feelings, which only piques my curiosity to see what you’re hiding behind feelings like arrogance, vanity, and loneliness."

"I bet there’s a cute, gentle girl behind all those feelings," he gives a soft smile as if contemplating such a scene.

"..."

"I... didn’t quite understand, but I appreciate the feelings. So you’re saying that there are certain people who only fill their lives with love?"

"Yes, princess, all humans without exception fill their lives with some feeling, but many don’t realize it."

"You also fill your life with a feeling, you fill it with anger, arrogance, and loneliness, even if it’s not intentional."

"... I really don’t understand," I don’t know how someone’s feelings can become so distorted.

"Okay, princess, let’s use the betrayal hypothesis you proposed. If you betrayed me with another, it would be in search of momentary pleasure, right?"

"... Yes..."

"Can you visualize that search for momentary pleasure?"

’...’

"Yes." Unfortunately, this is not just a hypothesis, as much as I wish it were, because if it were just a hypothesis, I wouldn’t be cursed.

"Imagine that situation, but to the point where you either obtain the pleasure or you’ll die."

"In that situation, you could try to obtain pleasure by force, giving in to the moment. Now imagine that this situation is constant and the only person it works with is your partner."

"..."

"What that means is that love can be so strong that it’s equivalent to a person’s life from their perspective?"

I ask, and he nods affirmatively.

"Okay... I can understand that, but I don’t understand why it reaches that level?"

"Princess, that’s the point. You’re trying to understand this, and that’s your mistake. It’s not something you can understand. It’s simply incomprehensible."

"No one understands how someone’s brain works, so I can only say that it’s not something you can understand..."

"..."

"It’s funny to see you ponder love. You never seemed to care about my feelings."

"!!!" He makes a shocked face with a playful smile.

"Could it be that you’ll finally accept my love?" He speaks in a playful tone, breaking the serious mood.

"Fuck off."

"Ouch, how cruel... I feel like my fragile little heart is going to shatter into a million pieces after facing your cruelty... Ice princess."

"Seriously? You’re an idiot." He ruffles my hair completely as a joke.

"Hahaha" He laughs cheerfully, and it also puts a smile on my face. This conversation wasn’t productive; I don’t understand anything about Sayuri’s decision or the love of Yanderes.

But even so, it’s nice to see Aiden so lively. It momentarily makes me forget about Flora.

"You know, princess, I like this interaction between us. I think you should always be like this. I prefer to see you this way rather than just fighting with everyone."

"... I... think I prefer it this way too." I have the memories, so I know what he’s talking about. It’s really terrible to only have 18 years of life and know that you only have 18 years of life.

No one knows what the blue moon is or why it has this effect on people born under it. Some consider people born under the blue moon to be cursed.

Since these people do not show any form of known disease, as if it were truly a curse.

So much so that a second name for this disease is the "Blue Moon Curse," although this name was abolished because it was disrespectful to the people who have this problem.

"Aiden, do you think maybe... I could survive when I turn 18?" I ask him, I don’t think I have that possibility, but it would still be nice if I stayed alive.

"... Princess, you are special... Unfortunately, being special didn’t guarantee you that. Fate can be quite cruel, but I don’t think death is the end. Maybe you’ll find something good after this."

"Maybe," I say with a smile. He’s right, death is not my end, and maybe the next world will be good. Having hope is not bad, as long as I wish for it, and in the next world, maybe I can get rid of my curse.

"Aiden, you’re a silly smart guy. Please never change."

"Haha, of course, then I’ll be your favorite silly smart guy."
