I STRONGLY recommend to listen to the music.

Every day that isn't with her is like agony for me.

But I knew she wouldn't want me to be depressed all my life. After all, I had a kingdom to take care of.

I miss you so much, (y/n) Novochrono Silva.

Nozel POV

My vision was blurry.

There was an extremely bright light behind an angel who was on me.

"I love you."

My eyes fluttered open. "(y/n)?"

She was crying. She held both of my hands. "Nozel...please take care of everyone."

"What are you saying?" I slowly sat up, nervous about what was going on. I felt intense mana coming from her.

"MOM!!!" I heard Amore and Tashiko beside us.

"My beautiful children." (y/n) was crying so hard as rain poured onto the world. "Grow up with no regrets, you hear me? I love you all. I'm so proud of you."

"(y/n)!!" I saw her father running. He now had the body of a twenty-year-old but had the mind and age of a sixty-year-old.  "Don't use that spell! It will kill you!!"

My eyes widened and I sat up with pain coursing throughout my body. "What are you doing!?"

She kissed me feverishly. "I'm saving you, you idiot. The spell will come down in one minute. I only have a limited amount of time with all of you."

Every one of our family members came nearby.

Noelle was crying her heart out as Asta held her, a sorrowful face on his usually enthusiastic one.

"The mana that the spirits gave you temporarily will kill you soon if I don't do this." She motioned for our family to come closer.

"My children." My wife held Amore and Tashiko's hands. "I want each of you to become the very best you can be, you hear me?"

Amore clutched her mother's hand tightly. "Do you have to go?"

(y/n)'s tears fell onto her cheek as she pulled the two into a hug.  "I must. I will be with Noble and everyone lost. Don't worry."

"My daughter." Julius collapsed as our children stepped back. He was using his magic to delay the spell. "I am so proud of you. Tell your mother I say hello, alright?"

"Please...tell Mother Acier I say hello," Noelle whispered. "Also tell Solid..."

She lost hee voice.

The (h/c)-haired female glanced at everyone with a smile as tears fell onto the ground.

"I love you all."

"I can't hold the spell anymore!" Julius frantically tried to stop time again, but he couldn't.

"Nozel? Do you remember the promise you made to me on our wedding day?" (y/n) held me close as the spell caused the earth to rumble as it drew closer to us.

"BACK UP!!" Asta shouted. "The impact of this spell is going to be massive!"

Nozel held me close, tears streaming down his handsome face. "Yes."

"Then let's say it together."

"To you, I pledge to always love you no matter..."

"What," she finished.

The spell hit us and she was fading.

"No! Don't go!!"

She was smiling. "I'll be waiting for you."

Then , her body started to break apart into golden particles as the rain died down.

I reached out to touch her. Her hands broke into particles as our faces drew closer for one final kiss.

As our lips touched one last time, there was a pop and she was gone.

Her clothes dropped onto the ground as did her grimoire.

It was now empty. All of her weapons that she used for her magic dropped to the ground and poofed out of existence.

"I love you, Nozel."

A faint whisper said in my ear.

The golden particles swirled around everyone nearby and floated into the sky as the sun came out.

I reached towards the sky. "(y/n)!!!!!!!"

Amore and Tashiko erupted into complete messes.

I found as I stood up that I was all healed. Not only that, but my mana was stronger.

However, that wasn't worth the price of one's life.

Especially if it was your wife. The one you loved so dearly.

I wrapped my arms around my crying children.

"Mom!" Amore cried into my chest as I held the two of them.

"It's over..."

People erupted into cheers and started chanting my name and (y/n)'s.

I looked into the sky as the sky was a deep blue.

It was as if nothing happened and no one died or dealt with ancient spirits.

However, it did.

Timeskip

It's been three years since my wife has died.

Amore was now 17 and the captain of the Silver Eagles. Tashiko was 13 and getting ready to get his grimoire in two years.

In the first half of the year, I felt as if my world was ending and nothing mattered.

I had fallen into a state of depression until I had a dream about (y/n) and I as kids.

"I promise to always be there for you"

After that, I slowly became my old self.

The King of Clover ended up passing his crown onto a family member and retired for an easy life- not that his life wasn't easy already.

Amore became more and more like her mother.

I caught glimpses of (y/n) in her smile and overall movement.

Tashiko also reminded me of my deceased wife.

As I wrote in my journal, I sighed.

The journal was actually (y/n)'s grimoire, but was empty. I had someone add a series of blank pages.

I journaled each day a couple of times to keep happy.

Noelle and the rest of our family came by often to visit and check up on everyone.

I sighed and closed my journal, deciding I wanted to clear my head.

I arrived soon at the very tree where (y/n) and I made our very first promise.

I sat down on the bench that was now there.

"Hi, (y/n)."

I smiled as I placed a bouquet of her favorite flowers on the grave.

I often came here. It made me feel closer to her.

The necklace that she always wore now adorned Amore's neck.

I stared up at the sky as a winter's breeze blew around.

The snow around made everything look beautiful.

I opened my journal again and wrote a concluding sentance.

I miss you so much, (y/n).

I know that wherever you are, you must be tired of hearing me say that.

But I do miss you.

It might be a long time before we see each other again, but I'll wait however long it takes for us to be reunited.

This is the last entry of the journal of Lament.

I closed the journal.

Smiling to myself, I made my way back to House Silva.

I'll see you soon, my beautiful wife.
