The former queen, Riliane, stands staring at the shore. She stands in silent for about ten minutes and then.. she starts sobbing. She had just lost her best friend because of her dumb decisions. She knelt down onto the sand and closed her eyes, clutching a glass bottle and trying to remember the old days.

Suddenly, she was back in the castle. Her mother sat and a piano, and her twin was next to her, watching. They were quiet for a few minutes, and then their mother started singing:

"If you write a wish upon a paper and you place it into a glass bottle and it's washed away by the ocean, then someday, there's a chance that it may just come true.."

And the daydream ended. Riliane opened her eyes and looked at the water, suddenly noticing how clear it was. She remembered a day like this with her brother, Allen.

She had been crying over Kyle, her crush; it was the day she found out he liked a girl from another kingdom named Michaela. Allen found out too, and had taken her to the shore as a way of calming her down. They were sitting by the shore together, laughing and joking around as usual. Then Allen took out a glass bottle containing some rolled-up parchment.

"Would miss Rin like to place it in the water?" 'Rin' was Allen's nickname for Riliane. "What even is IT?" Allen started to sing their mother's tune.

"If you write a wish upon a paper and you place it into a glass bottle and it's washed away by the ocean, then someday there's a chance that it may just come true.."

Riliane stared at him, then looked away. "I don't want to play some silly commoner's game like that!" Allen just laughed, "Alright then, someday maybe you will." He drew his attention to the bottle and closed his eyes. "I wish for miss Rin to get bigger breasts," He said, jokingly. Riliane looked at him, shocked. Allen, noticing this, laughed and changed the wish. "I wish for Rin to be happy forever." Riliane smiled, "But Len, you already make me the happiest I can be."

And it was true. Now that he was dead, a part of her died with him. She looked at the glass bottle in her hand. There was a piece of parchment inside, reading: "I wish to be reunited with my dearest, Len, in our next life." She set it in the water and watched it float away into the horizon, eyes full of tears. It disappeared and she smiled, hoping one day it would come true.




"Rin? Rin, wake up! Our first concert is today!"



Phạm Huyền

Far away, at the shore, in a town beside the sea
Alone stands a girl staring longingly
It is here, at the shore, that she holds unto her chest
A secret she dare never speak
“If you write a wish upon a paper and you place
It into the glass bottle
And it’s washed away by the ocean, then someday
There’s a chance that it may just come true”
Drifting farther away, riding swiftly on the waves
A message containing a wish was made
Heading steadily toward the horizon
And gradually fading away

Through the darkest of days, you were always by my side
No matter what i say, you woul abide
Constantly i let my selfishness take control of me
And caused you a life full of grief
But now, all because of the mistakes i have made
You’re no longer here with me
In order to get all this pain off of my chest
I must spill my woes into the sea
Drifting farther away, little wish upon the waves
With eyes full of tears, she regrets those days
It is then that she realizes this:
Her sin has taken everything away
Drifting farther away, riding swiftly on the waves
A message containing a wish was made
Heading steadily toward the horizon
And gradually fading away (x2)

Drifting farther away, little wish upon the waves
With eyes full of tears, she regrets those days
If the day comes again that we are reborn again.....

And it's washed away by the ocean then someday

Drifting farther away, riding swiftly on the waves

Heading steadily toward the horizon
And gradually fading away
Through the darkest of days, you were always by my side
No matter what I would say, you would abide
Constantly I let my selfishness take control of me
And caused you a life full of grief
But now, all because of the mistakes that I have made
You're no longer here with me
In order to get all this pain off of my chest

Drifting farther away, riding swiftly on the waves

Heading steadily toward the horizon
And gradually fading away
Drifting farther away, little wish upon the waves
With eyes full of tears, she regrets those days
If the day comes that we are reborn again...

"Her sin has taken everything away"

Until this line, I'd almost forgotten she was a heartless tyrant before she was overthrown.

Severigne_M

It's a good line too, since Rilliane represents the Sin of Pride,

Sorry, it’s been awhile since I read the pride saga, but unlike the other seven deadly sins that signed contracts, didn’t Rilline kinda get forced into it? So it was really out of her control. Idk... it’s been awhile lol.

she was posessed by two demons as a child, and thus all the heartless things she did was against her will. First was Gluttony which made her rise to power. Then pride possessed her. Riliane was truly the saddest out of the bunch. When the curse was lifted from her everything is irreparably destroyed by her and the person that cared for her died right in front of her eyes.

F this shit, stop making people cry!
