The latter part: The Lonely Princess
She was a very strong and gentle woman.
I liked such her. Therefore, I respected and adored her with all my heart.
I who got into the house of the noble to steal, was trapped and finally heavily injured by cutting by sword, and ran out of power on the street. She was the one who saved such me.
Maya, she was originally the daughter of a noble family.
Day by day, the house, which had been reasonably fine, fell into disrepair.
After spending many days in a world of impermanence without efforts, Maya finally decided to leave the house, having lost sight of the light. She had nowhere to go and did not know where to go, but she thought it was better than waiting for the time to come to do nothing in her battered house.

As Maya wandered aimlessly around the capital, she found herself at the foot of the hill leading up to Kiyomizu. It was all bush, no houses, and a little high up in the mountain. She said that there was an old woman who built a small bush hermitage there and lived alone. The woman said her name was Otane. Otane was poor, but when she learned of Maya’s condition, she took great pity on her and suggested her to live here. From then on, she was very kind to her. However, Otane passed away about a year ago, and now she lives alone in this bush hermitage.
I and Maya, who lost our connection and were alone together. It didn’t take long for us to be attracted to each other. We started to live in the bush hermitage as if we were two people living together.
I felt that by doing so, we could share a little of our loneliness and pain.
I thought that by doing so, I could shed a little light on tomorrow.
But now that I think about it, that may have been the beginning of the mistake. Because of that, I got to mourn everything I held dear.
Maya adored me dearly. I also adored Maya from the bottom of my heart. She was good-nurtured, gentle, and yet sometimes harsh. She was a very comforting presence to be with.
Some time after, they had a child together.
I named her Sara. She was a very energetic girl.
When Sara was born and I picked up that little body in my hands, I made a vow. As a father and husband, I will always make Maya and Sara happy. Whatever happens to them, I swore in my heart that day that I would protect them. But I had only one thing to hide to both of them. And that caused the tragedy… that tragedy.
