Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 1627: Temptation

—–

As the Knight Commander of the Holy Fairy Knights Order flew away after Oberon gave him the order to prepare for war against these invaders, the lonely king stayed there, awkwardly in silence.

“Now… to think my dear Elayne came here, well, now I feel quite invigorated, I was so bored and sad before, perhaps her sweet company will raise my morale,” Oberon smiled slightly, drinking red wine while walking around his palace in silence, bathing under the moonlight. “I wonder if she will be the right one that will heal my broken heart… or will I have to wait another millennium to find my true other half? Or…”

The King of Fairies walked through the balcony, dancing alone in the moonlight, smiling with melancholy and loneliness, his long blonde hair waving by the wind.

“Was I destined to always be alone?”

His bright pink eyes glanced into the sky, the moonlight bathing his handsome, yet delicate face. Any person that would ever see him, man or woman, would immediately realize he was the most beautiful man in the world.

“Aaah… invaders was the last thing I needed; this loneliness is really killing me…” Oberon spoke to the moonlight. “Oh, my dear Moon, you’re the only one I confide my deepest secrets, my deepest thoughts… If you could one day descend to meet me, I would make you my bride in a heartbeat.”

However, he quickly lowered his arms, looking down, his melancholy only intensifying, as he sighed, feeling the loneliest he had ever felt… After finally living for so many years, with one heartbreak after another, Oberon was slowly falling into insanity.

He grabbed his face with his hands tightly, his nails digging into his skin as blood dripped from them, he smiled with desperation, feeling the pointlessness of life itself without someone to love and that would love them back.

“No matter how much I seek you, I cannot find you… Where are you, my dearest other half? Where are you?! When will I find you? When will destiny stop toying with my heart?! So many women, and none truly loved me, none wanted to stay with me… Am I not handsome? Am I not strong? What do I lack? I promise that I will love them forevermore, and yet they fear my love! What do I do?! What do I do to be loved, to find her?!”

His wounded face healed on its own, as Oberon sat over the ceiling of his palace, looking at the city and smiling while cleaning his own blood.

“My beloved children… you’re the only ones that I persevere so much for… you’re all I need, you’re my most beloved… for you, only for you have I not fallen into insanity… and I must keep going, for eternity, alone. Even though I am surrounded by all of you, I always feel alone…”

As Oberon glanced at the silver and pink moonlight, he saw the fae dancing around him, celebrating and worshipping his existence, as he spoke, the little spirits turned into his ideal wife, a fairy just like him, a Queen of the Fairies.

She gently extended her ethereal hand to him, the spirits saw him crying, and wanted to comfort his heart, he smiled with sadness and loneliness in his eyes, taking that hand and dancing with his beloved, idealized maiden. A queen that never was.

“I wonder, where could you be, my most beloved maiden, my queen?”

As he held her hand, he lifted her up, looking into her ethereal eyes, sighing, and then letting her go, as she exploded into particles of pink and golden light, disappearing into thousands of little spirits.

“I want to see you, Elayne… I wonder… if you could fill this hollowness in my heart?”

His pink and golden aura was different, slowly gaining tinges of black and purple, his eyes crying blood, his own emotional instability was twisting his existence, warping his very being.

He needed love, this was the basis of his very existence, the more time passed without him being loved, without him finding his eternal queen…

The more everything felt hopeless.

“The only one that ever loved me, Merlin’s mother… you were gone too soon,” he sighed looking at the portrait of a beautiful woman smiling gently, there were several portraits, even showing her when she was an old granny, which he still loved dearly. “Why didn’t you choose immortality by my side? Why… did you choose death over me?”

He dropped to the floor, crying tears of blood as his eyes turned red for a moment, grasping the floor tightly as his aura continued being corrupted by his own emotional instability.

…And perhaps, a lurking shadow.

“When will I see you again, my dear Eleanor?! I miss you every day, every night…!”

The shadow glanced at him, with sharp crimson eyes, it finally saw enough vulnerability within him, enough for it to step in.

“Oh dear, what a pity to see the King of this entire Realm acting like this… Crying…”

“Eh?! Who…! Who is it?!”

Oberon quickly became alert, holding tightly the portrait of his beloved while summoning his Divine Spear, pointing it at the darkness of the night.

Yet, he could see nothing.

“I am nothing but your own insecurities, you’ve given voice to your suffering, oh great King of Fairies.”

“W-What…?”

Oberon’s eyes widened, as he saw the darkness take form, his own suffering becoming the personification of everything he ever dreamed of.

A fairy queen, with big wings, made of shadows and red light, with sharp, emerald eyes, walking towards him, her heels making sounds through the palace’s floor.

She gently lifted up his chin, as Oberon’s eyes widened, enchanted by the fairy queen he ever dreamed of being right in front of him.

“I can give you everything you ever wanted… The Fairy Queen you ever dreamed… to finally have an eternal wife, to finally have a family with her… to never be alone. Take my hand, my dear. I will make the pain go away~”

“Aahh… My Queen…”

Oberon’s hand slowly extended towards hers, trembling, and ultimately, holding her tightly.

FLASH!

She embraced him into a hug, kissing his lips, as the light of Oberon’s eyes disappeared, and his very being was engulfed into the abyss of darkness.
