Queen’s Chamber – Codex
“I came here from the arena by following the dragon’s traces. I was lucky to find some fragmented records and murals and learn more about the ancient Ichi, and the gold statue and dressing mirror in the Queen’s Chamber has proven my thoughts. The story I’m about to tell is almost like love, so I’ll try to use a romantic way with metaphors to describe it:
Moths flew into the fire without hesitating. Paloma was ruthless, but some were still captivated by her beauty and yearned for her favor. Gerald, the elder son of the Nasso family, stepped onto the biggest arena in the gold city and fought with the beast with his flesh. Finally, he cut off the beast’s head and expressed his love for the queen to the sky. Then the queen met him in her pure-gold chamber. Gerald must have seen the images of the queen and himself kneeling beside her dress in the reflections of numerous mirrors.
Poor Gerald. He might tell the perfect face that he had thought about for countless nights about his yearning, obsession, love, and how he wanted to give her everything.
The queen must have made him believe that his love was answered somehow, or what else would let a warrior like that be a puppet?
My conjecture is based on the gold statue named Gerald Nasso behind the queen’s bed curtain. The expression on that face was so vivid that it seemed like the time had stopped at the boiling melted gold poured from above. And behind that statue, I saw countless gold statues of different forms standing in the mirrors’ reflections.
At last, the reason I called this story “is almost like love” is because there was a sentence carved beneath Gerald’s name: ‘Die when your love is at its peak. Only this way can your love be eternal.’
But what is eternity anyway? ‘A country falls as abruptly and rapidly as it rises.’ The ancient Ichi at its peak hardly left any marks on history.
