Lost Before She can Fight
1206 Words
Corale finally woke up from her slumber gasping for air.
That dream.
Vyrion falls in love with Vordelia, even to the point of making love.
Corale hugged herself.
Why of the many dreams, must be about expressing their love? As she slowly realized that she might be in love with Vyrion.
Why did Vega keep him from getting carried away by the illusion of the truth potion.
Vyrion has a lover, or maybe a wife?
Corale tightened her grip even more.
Maybe this is good news for him? Before he actually fell in love with Vyrion, the dream reminded him. And maybe he also that there was someone waiting for him all this time.
So romantic...
Yet so painful to her heart.
"What's wrong?"
Corale heard Vyrion's voice behind her, "It's okay," she answered quietly, "I want to get ready. Can you come out?" He couldn't bear to see her face. He wanted to hide the pain. There's no point in being honest anyway.
Vyrion likely had another woman.
"Please," Corale begged, covering her face so it wouldn't look like she was starting to cry now.
There was silence for a moment, before finally Vyrion agreed, "I'll wait in the dining room."
Corale felt a gentle breeze before her bed felt light.
Vyrion has left.
Corale let out all the emotions bubbling in her chest.
So this is what it feels like to lose before fighting for love.
Very ill.
But Corale believes it will be better after.

"Ugh..."
or not.
Corale still couldn't meet Vyrion's eyes, and oddly enough she didn't approach him, protest or anything to get his attention.
Vyrion became silent after he joined him who was chatting with Vega.
"You look so tired," Vega was more concerned, "did you sleep well?"
It's not a matter of sleeping, but his heart that is shattered in million pieces, that's the problem now, "You provide tea?"
"Coming right up~!"
"Wait!" Corale suddenly stopped Vega who was going to the kitchen.
"Yes? Is there anything else you want?"
Not something, Corale didn't want to be alone with Vyrion even for a few seconds, "Just use your magic, Vega."
"Oh?" Vega was surprised Corale wanted something instant. He didn't ask further because he was in a good mood, "Sure~!"
Corale took the teacup "What is this?" The water is green.
"Green tea~! One hundred percent good for your body, Miss Corale," Vega explained, "I like drinking it too."
Corale had drunk green tea and even ice cream, but only then had she noticed how intense it was. Curious, he took a sip, then immediately frowned as he felt a strong bitter taste touch his tongue, "So bitter!"
How can Vega drink this all the way through!?
It tastes more or less the same as medicine!
"Because it's pure green tea," Vega said, slightly amused by Corale's reaction.
Corale couldn't stand the bitter taste, she put the cup on the table, "You said that the antidote was finished today."
"Oh! Yes~" Vega brought out a small crystal bottle filled with black liquid.
Corale had a bad feeling seeing the color of the liquid, "Are you sure this is true?"
"Of course! Altair and I worked hard to create it," Vega couldn't accept Corale's doubting.
"I just heard there's an antidote to the truth potion," Vyrion said, "I don't think there's an antidote. Those affected will have to wait for the spell to wear off."
"You've been through a lot while carrying out your sentence, Vyrion," said Vega.
Vyrion sighed. Vega's words made sense too, but there was one thing he didn't like, "Corale already knows about us, it's good that you call me Lord Vyrion again."
"Aw~" Vega muttered in disappointment. He liked to call Vyrion without the word 'Lord', making them feel like friends.
"Here," Vyrion held out his hand, then Vega handed him the bottle. He raised his head to check something, "Does this have any side effects?"
"Sleep?" Vega answered innocently, "the effect is the same as when you drink the truth potion, Vyrion."
Vyrion remembered Vega giving him chamomile tea in the morning because he looked really tired. Of course he was suspicious at first before finally drinking it down to relieve the headache in his head, "I forbid for a week to go to Heavens to see Altar."
"What? It's not fair!" Why did he suddenly get punished? Vega has been trying to come up with an antidote! Appreciate the effort a little, “Lord Vyrion,” he whined with teary eyes.
"No buts," Vyrion ended their conversation, he sat down in a chair, looked back at the bottle, then opened it.
The floral scent instantly filled the room.
"How many flowers did you put in here?" Vyrion asked, covering his nose from the stinging too much.
"It tastes very bitter that's why I added a little bit of lucky clover flower," Vega explained nervously scratching his blushing cheeks.
"You tried it? You really something else," Vyrion complained. Luckily it didn't have any effect on her body, it seems. He hesitated a few seconds, then put the bottle to his lips, and began to drink it until it was finished.
Vega doesn't lie.
The bitter taste mixed with sweetness danced in his mouth, before slowly drifting down his throat leaving a hot feeling as it passed.
"How do you feel?" Vega asked.
Sleepy. Vyrion wanted to say it, but he had lost his consciousness completely, entered into dreamland with his body slumped onto the sofa.
"Is this normal?" Corale asked worriedly seeing Vyrion fall unnaturally. He put his feet on the sofa so that his blood flow smoothly during sleep.
"Yeah, let's just wait for Lord Vyrion to wake up," Vega said, "you want to chat with your friend? I'm sure he must be confused about what happened yesterday."
Right.
Corale hadn't met Gael at all.
But ...
Corale looked at Vyrion's calm face.
"No need to worry. I'll tell you right away when Lord Vyrion wakes up." Vega promised with a gentle tone in his voice, "You're too anxious."
Of course it was natural for Corale to be worried, as a friend, and also the feelings of love that still lingered in her deepest heart had a big impact when it came to Vyrion, "I trust you."
Vega nodded.
Corale studied Vyrion's face one more time, before stepping onto the second floor where Gael was. He was a little nervous whether he remembered what happened yesterday.
Vega said he had given the memory-erasing potion, but I don't know if it worked or not.
I don't know why I wanted to drink the potion.
Corale knew she didn't know more about Vyrion and Vordelia's relationship, but seeing how much they loved them, it was highly unlikely that they would break up.
'Hmm. There's some relationship that seemed perfect, but fell apart in the end.'
There's no such thing as impossible, that's what Corale knows.
Maybe... there's still a chance for him.
Corale shook her head vigorously, pushing the small hope out of her mind before she thought further.
He knocked on the door slowly.
"Gael? Are you awake?"
