Chapter 339 - We Can't Kill Sleeping Beauty (10)

"She'll wake up someday," he screamed back.

"How could I kill her?" His aura strengthened.

"You already did the worst thing you could do to her. You placed her inside that cage. What if the cage was what prevented her from waking up?" I threw out one of my hypotheses.

"The cage would automatically break as soon as there were signs of her waking up!" He defended himself.

"You don't understand. Her cage was not only the physical one. She wants to be free from her slumber, the cage that keeps her from moving on," I was the best one who could understand her in the end.

People, who were free and could do anything they wanted couldn't understand us. Everyone was trying to confine us somewhere. We never had the choice to do anything, becoming helpless. They said they were doing this to protect us, ignoring the wishes of the person inside. Maybe this was why she came to me for help.

"You'll have to kill me to kill her," he looked at us in a new light. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'t-kill-sleeping-beauty-(10)_49013221167789211 for visiting.

Luke stepped in front of me, wary of the overseer. He quickly shot me a look to run away. Meanwhile, Ben began to prepare to chant a big spell.

"I have a solution," A sudden idea came to my head.

The mana in the air died down as if the overseer was willing to listen to one last comment. I did wonder ever since I watched the movie, if the time had stopped in the cave, wouldn't it mean she would always remain in her present state? She wouldn't ever be able to wake up since her time would stop. She needed to go out of this cave for time to return to its original place again. Only then, would she ever be able to recover her mana.

"Sleeping beauty should go out of this cave. Once time starts to flow for her, she may wake up," I tried to reason.

"Instead of keeping her inside the cage, it would have been better to go outside with her," I repeated when the overseer started to calm down.

The overseer lifted sleeping beauty into his arms. Her arms dropped down as she was in a new position in years. I started to lead him to the way of that forest. The place where everywhere began. Except, near the exit to the cave, it wasn't a forest anymore inside the second district . We were inside the first district where Luke had taken me to pick some flowers for social week.

The faint breeze passed through us, making the flower fields come alive to move along with it. I could only sense a weak glimmer of the cave once I had stepped out of it. It was like I was enveloped in a thin membrane of a spell to be able to still see it. The cave was barely a part of this world anymore, closed off for years.

"Jas-on?" A sweet voice whispered.

I spun to see if sleeping beauty was finally awake. Both Luke and Ben did the same, wondering how she was awake from my idea so quickly.

"Marion!" The overseer placed her on the flowers.

Sleeping beauty opened her eyes for the first time in a thousand years. She placed her hand against Jason's cheek, wondering if he was real. However, before she could say how much she waited for him to finally look at her, the overseer had exploded into white powders of fairy dust. Marion froze, not believing what had just happened. She held onto his last remains, wondering why the world was this cruel to her.

"Jason!" She cried.

All her family and what she knew of was dead. So many things had changed during the years she slept. Jason was the only person she had left. She didn't want to admit that she was in this world, all alone without him. Although she knew that Jason had finally moved on from his fulfilled wish from watching him while she slept, it was too unfair. Sweeping his remains into one pile, she hoped he would come back. But the powder helplessly slipped through her slender fingers like nothing could be done.

"You killed him!" Marion turned to me.

"He moved on and I did everything that you asked of me. Can you not feel happy for him who has been tortured by you this entire time?" I wouldn't let her blame me.

"If you had killed me, I could have turned into a fairy," she continued to hold onto him.

"You know it's not guaranteed from how you killed Zane," I trembled.

"You sent Ella to more than a thousand years of work and killed both Liam and Zane!" I couldn't get rid of the guilt in my chest.

"But Jason would never come to this dimension if I hadn't!" She felt no guilt for her past actions.

"Well find a new person to love. You're free now. You can do anything you want. Or you can travel the world alone, hoping to join him after you die," I slightly envied her as she was a free person now.

"Some people don't have the same chances as you. Jason would want you to live the rest of your life happy," it was taking all my patience to comfort her.

Marion turned her head away from me, remembering how she had watched me confined to my room. If someone could understand me, she had to be one of them. She couldn't open her mouth to argue back since it was true. While she was now free, some people were still stuck in their cages.
