I Hope It Doesn’t Hurt When I Die

Disturbingly pure white hair and red eyes.

Lucienne is a girl who has been treated as “unlucky” both in the orphanage and among the wandering groups.

The Duke of House Winfield comes to her aid.

“Help my son. Ah, forgive me. I don’t know what to say…”

Though I did not know what he wanted, for it had become a will,

but the little Duke Benedict gave me a place beside him.

“I will cherish you, whom my father saved”.

Becoming Benedict’s friend, confidant and companion,

For the first time in her life, Lucienne found happiness in the “home” she was allowed to be in.

Until she realised the meaning of the Duke’s last words.

“To free Benedict from the curse that seems to burn his body…”

Lucienne had to die at Benedict’s hands.

Then she was ready to die.

At the hands of her beloved.

“Please accept my death, Benedict.”
