"Haah!... Haaah!..." Ruby was panting as she gazed at the mangled and mashed up corpse of her father.
She felt a sense of satisfaction and relief when she gazed at the result of her actions.
She didn't feel an ounce of regret at committing patricide, the fat pig deserved it for taking her love away from her.
But even after getting revenge she couldn't stop this empty feeling in her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.
But in the end an innocent and affectionate smile formed on her face as she stroked the pendant on her neck with her bloodied fingers.
"You won't be alone anymore Sieg... I'll be coming too, sorry for being a selfish brat but I just can't think of living without you ~ " She said gently while caressing the pendant with an affectionate smile.....
...
" R-Ruby ... You don't have to... He wouldn't want this ... " Rose was a bit teary eyed and frustrated as she gazed at Ruby who seemed hellbent on unaliving herself.
During the past few years she had spent with this young woman , she had grown to care about her like an older sister and Rose didn't want to let this young woman die like that especially when Siegfried's wish was to keep her safe.
But Rose also didn't try to stop her since she knew this woman would try to do it again the moment she didn't have her eyes on her.
How would you even save someone who doesn't want to live anymore.
" I-I just don't want to live anymore... What's the point ? " Ruby asked as she sniffled a bit making Rose bite her lips as she didn't have an answer to that question.
" Allright.... Take care .." What else was she supposed to say , in the end Rose walked away from the mansion calling her team to move out too.
This would be the last time she would be seeing Ruby and she would really miss the brat.....
...
"Haah~ We will be united at last my love ...." Ruby sighed as she felt the flames surrounding her as the mansion was burning down around her.
She also wanted to leave nothing behind just like the way when Siegfried passed.
She wanted to burn away , and be reduced to embers and hopefully when she opens her eyes again she would be with him.....

In the Heartfilia mansion the atmosphere was very tense , the maids and servants of the place could be seen walking around with a nervous expression .
A maid could be seen rushing through the corridors with a nervous face , she ran down the stairs and reached the floor were most of the servants were , when she reached there, she shouted in a voice that could be heard by all of them " The mistress is giving birth "
All of the servants were silent for a few moments , but they quickly regained their composure and rushed to the second floor arriving in front of the room where their mistress was currently in .
All of them had anxious and nervous expressions , their Mistress had some problems with her health and there was a slight chance that something might happen to her if she gave birth.
Many advised her to reconsider but she wanted to give birth even at the cost of her health , so they all were very respectful of their Mistress....
...
Inside the room a women could be seen lying on the bed with a pained expression.
Her blond hair was dishevveled and if not for her pale countenance she could be said to be very beautiful .
The midwife who was in the room along with a few servants was very worried about the woman's condition , but they could only pray for her .
The women suddenly opened her eyes and spoke with difficulty " M-my husband , h-has he come " it could be seen that she had said these few words with considerable difficulty , indicating how tired she was .
The servants didn't know what to say , they couldn't tell her , her husband left for a business related visit even while knowing his wife might give birth anytime soon .
Obviously they couldn't say that , so they tried to comfort her .
"Mistress you don't have to worry ,the master would come back soon, you just have to wait "
Suddenly the woman showed a pained expression and released an anguished scream " Aaargh!..... It's happening!"
They all got panicked but quickly calmed down because it was a crucial moment .
"Go bring a towel and a basin of warm water " the midwife asked the two servants in the room .
Excruciating screams of a woman could be heard from the room , making all those who heard her feel worried .
Only after an hour did it stop , and crying noise of babies could be heard . All of them became happy after hearing it .
Inside the room the midwife looked at the woman who had a tired look and gentle smile on her face.
"Congratulations Mistress , they are twins , both are healthy girls~" The midwife handed over the babies to the woman , who held both of them, one in each arm .
The woman looked at both of her babies with a gentle smile and kissed their foreheads .
She looked at the baby on the right
"Your name will be Lucy Heartfilia~ "
Then she looked towards the baby on the right who was surprisingly looking at her with her sparkling eyes . She couldn't help but laugh and kiss her forehead again
"And your name will be Ruby Heartfilia~"
