The Yuusha is named

"By all the powers bestowed upon me I, the king, name you the Yuusha!"

All generals, landlords, artists, grand mages, scholars and historians and all kind of important people were present. They bowed to me and cheerfully said:

"Long live to the Yuusha! God may be with you my hero!"

The great hallway was filled with cheers and words of grateful. Some people even started to cry after some clamor shouts. It was indeed a event to celebrate and cry. I, the Yuusha, was named by the king and therefore, humankind had their hero and saviour.

The princess was by my side, smiling and saying how happy she was. How lucky we, as child friends and current lovers, are to be fignthing for a great purpose. She was right.

I could not wish for more. Upon me was the fate of all humans and the world itself. In my entire life I searched for something to fight. Something to live. Something to die. And that something has finally appeared to me.

As long I can remember, I feared death to my bones. I could not bring myself to accept to live, love and protect so that in the end, I would be reduce to be nothing. Iwould even be. That scared me the most

But now, I have a reason. A reason to die. If I could bring peace and safety upon the earth, all my efforts would not be in vain. I could die with a smile on my face, knowing that my sacrifice was enough. No more wars, no more conflicts. Once he was defeated, every human would sleep with ease in the comfort of their houses, surrounded by their families and love ones

But, I could not notice a strange detail. The king wore a sad countenance. 

Why is that? Something bad crossed his mind?
