Owen didn't know what to feel.

Yes, he felt so damn happy that she said that she has always loved him.

But he was anxious the whole time in reading that poem.

*Drip* *Drop*

"Huh?"

Tears unknowingly fell from his eyes. He didn't know why.

*Thump* *Thump* *Thump*

Even his heart was beating rapidly out of nervousness.

He wanted to see her. Now.

It felt like he could die any moment if he couldn't see her right after reading that poem. He had a bad feeling about it.

"Rina. Where are you?"

Owen tried to feel her presence.

He could always know it's her because her mana was purer than anyone else's.

But for some odd reason, he couldn't feel it. He couldn't feel her.

He tried harder and harder.

"Mmp- puahck-" He spitted out some blood.

Owen had no time to rest and recover.

'There!'

He finally found a lingering remnant of Catherina's pure mana in a certain location.

He then teleported there as quick as possible.

...

As soon as Owen opened his eyes, he found himself standing in front of a huge door.

He observed his surroundings and figured out where he was.

'A church?'

He recognized that place.

It was inside the holy temple. The one that's close by the imperial palace.

The place was quiet and it didn't have a single soul since it was almost midnight.

Owen opened the door and walked inside.

The inside was empty and quiet as well.

"Rina?" He called out to her.

She was in this place. He knows it.

Walking down the aisle, it led Owen towards the altar.

There he saw a coffin placed on the marbled table used for the priests when offering something.

*Thump* *Thump* *Thump*

Owen slowly uncovered the coffin with trembling hands...

And what he saw surprised him.

"Rina?"

It was her.

His Rina was sleeping. She was so beautiful lying there.

Her long, silver hair was spread and her silver lashes were pretty as always. She was wearing a beautiful white gown that went down to her toes and she was wearing a diamond ear ornament.

The silver bracelet couple with blue and purple gem was still on her wrist and her hands modestly placed above her stomach.

Her fair skin glowed under the moonlight and it looked paler than usual.

From head to toe, she looked perfect as always.

She was like a sleeping goddess in Owen's perspective.

"It's Rina!"

"But-"

"Why is she there?"
