When I got a long way back through the forest, my cough started to increase. It was difficult for Beauty to walk because the snow was getting worse.

"Let's... Stop for a while.... You can't carry me like this. You are tired. Kah..."

"I can't stop. Just hold on a little longer please. Don't leave me, Princess. Please!"

He called me by a different name for the first time. I did not understand why someone like me was called a princess. But now he is crying louder than before. I realized it when his warm tears fell down from his cheeks and fell on my body. Even if I want to tell him not to cry, I don't have the strength to put it into words.

Beauty took off both bags from his shoulder and threw them away. I could see from him that in the end he only wanted to take me. Along with my cough, I also felt that it was getting harder to breathe. As my eyes became heavy, I found it difficult to look at him more.

"Kah... Kah..."

I had a sore throat along with a dry cough. Even after drinking water, the pain and dryness did not go away. The pain was so severe that I could not live because of my illness. I was afraid to tell him about the illness. I know that it doesn't matter now.

Because little by little I realized that my soul was trying to leave my body. When breathing became very difficult, I took a deep breath. I think he must have understood my situation. After removing the two bags, he kept going as if running. But we both knew that he would not be able to cross this entire jungle.

He suddenly fell on his knees. While crying louder than before, he hugged me to his chest. He did not have the strength to walk because of the pain in his heart. He cried loudly. I couldn't say anything to comfort him as his tears soaked me.

I felt his arms tighten around me little by little. He tried so hard to save me. I understood that. And I am happy that I got the opportunity to go at least near paradise. I owe him a lot. And I know now. I love him so much.

I felt a great relief in my body as my whole soul was freed. It was time for me to go. I have no right to stop.
