Bab 101: My Sincere Thanks
Before actually starting this volume, I want to say a few things.
First of all, thank you so much for following "Last Played" so far, these months of writing this story were fantastic and part of it was due to your support.
I never thought this story would go this far, to the point where it even had a sponsored chapter, you guys are really amazing.
Frankly, this story wasn't even supposed to have existed initially. The plan was to write a few chapters, ten at most, and stop. Brcause I was writing another story and I just started writing this story because I had such a writer's block that even J couldn't break it.
I started "Last Played" as a way to clear my mind and so this story was born and grew to that point.
A hundred chapters for a story that was only supposed to have ten? Honestly wow! I was also curious about how this story would end and that, along with your interactions, kept me writing.
And speaking in the end, this is the last volume, it will probably be the longest.
After that, I'm going to disappear a little bit. I'm going to read some stories I want to read here, on WN, and The Witcher books that I bought and are waiting for me.
Going back to the stories here on WN, there are some dramas that I read the first three or four chapters and wow! I look forward to reading. As I finish or reach the latest released chapters, I'll put them on my favorites list.
Some of them are from some of you, so write it down, I want to read as much as I can, especially with my vacation coming up shortly.
Hands on the keyboard!
Now I want to give special thanks to my good readers and correctors, HeavenlyGod and Xenoveia. You helped me a lot with your corrections and suggestions, which greatly improved the story and even helped me to study with the grammar that has rules that my brain refuses to learn... Anyway, you guys are awesome! Thanks. :*
I still have a lot of words left until I get to a thousand, which is the minimum words per chapter I usually write. Taking that into account, I'm going to mention some things and events in the story that should have happened and didn't happen and other little things, like characters I had presented and disappeared.
Come on.
Characters that should be dead, but by some mysterious action of fate, are alive.
Fotiá
Anemus
Lobana
Samy
Serien
Lunnia
Hercules
All of these had chapters written of their deaths and I ended up not releasing them. Fotiá was why I found the scene too cruel to a little girl so cute and the rest I don't remember why I dropped the idea of killing them, but that's okay.
Characters that simply disappeared after an apparition.
Reiden's Honest Guard
Does anyone remember this guy? He was supposed to have been more prominent in Reiden's arc, but I ended up leaving him aside or I would have ended up shipping him with Athena.
Well, he's alive and now he's the head of the guard at Reiden. And he's getting rid of the banditry on the outskirts of town little by little. He's a nice guy who has a wife and an eight-year-old daughter... No, wait, there's almost four years in history already, so she must be twelve or so. He was also on the list of characters who would die, but it wasn't worth mentioning him above.
Mila, the tavern waitress.
Another character that never appeared again. I still regret the kiss I wrote in that chapter. If I ever rewrite this story, that's something I'm going to change. I even have a way to improve that.
She was to be Athena's first lover, but I ended up giving up on the idea and today I see it would be interesting to see the progression of how she would grow and become stronger. Well, not that she would. Because she has seven younger siblings which she has to support with the help of the three other older siblings.
Charles, the banker.
He was going to show up recently, but do what?
All I have to say about him is that he's a big daddy. His love for his daughter is so great that he is almost equal to King Pales.
Speaking of Charles, the bank's receptionist, Iris never appeared again either. And look, she was supposed to be the cause of the romantic drama between Athena and Mila, but I also ruled it out.
I don't know much about her, except that she's engaged and with the tax reforms Athena brought about, her savings have doubled to the point she can buy her own house in the prime district of Reiden.
Ah! She will soon discover that her fiance is a slaver who kidnaps children in the suburbs to sell to rich perverts. The guard is keeping an eye on him.
Does what I just wrote fit as a spoiler?
Do I have anything else to say? Let me think...
Ah! Den, the prince of Elsna.
He's doing fine, he married a duchess, the daughter of one of the ducal families who were massacred at Sued's behest. She wasn't home that day and ended up surviving.
Anyway, Den is being a great ruler for the principality and is managing to keep up with the country's debt to Basilica.
He's just not good in bed, leading the princess consort to betray him with the butler, gardener, and treasure minister.
She is pregnant and has no idea who the child's father is.
Well, she's probably going to be executed.
I think that's it.
Once again, thank you so much for reading this story and keep reading until the end. I don't know yet how it goes, but I hope it will be something interesting for you and me until the very end.
Kisses, see ya!
Wow! It's three in the morning already. I stopped writing this a couple dozen times in the last four hours.
I'm reading a book called "The Katherine Theorem", a very funny and cute silly teenage romance. I highly recommend it to anyone with a broken heart, not that I am.
After all, she would have to give me another chance to be able to break it, which won't happen, since she married a nobody...
I started talking too much after saying goodbye... Now it's serious. Goodbye!
See ya soon!
