❗RAO P.O.V.❗
2 months passed but there was still no sign of Sabe soldiers looking for us. The more day passed the more weirder it got. How can a powerful person like Carson still couldnt find us. I never had the courage to check on my kingdom. Im sure they're madly looking for us.
While living In this Village, I realised my thoughts has changed. Since My childhood I always though The non-royals are useless,rude and worthless to spend time with. 2 months isnt a short time. I fell for these beautiful nature outside the palace. What took me so long to look at them.
I used Hate Ren for being a half-royal. He also turned out to be the only one by my side. Stilla and Ren got more closer than before. If i were to go on the mission of keeping them apart, That would turn out to be too cruel of me. She looks happier than ever.That's all that matters as long as I ensure her safety.
To the person im most attracted to in this whole situatuon. Her name was running inside my mind but I never got to call her. I was nervous what would she think of me. I was often caught by her while Staring at her. I wish she doesnt think that Im a stalker or something.
That day, I sae her leaving the village with some work. My heart kept telling me to follow her. It could be the only moment of us together. I did so.
While slowly following her without getting caught, I ran into a situation of her almost getting harassed by few thiefs. I was shocked to see a knife in their hand. They were ready to attack anytime. Unwillingly I had to came out.
I fought and looked at her. I was furious. How can she just let someone attack her like this. What if something happened! I was so mixed up in my anger that I lost control and Shouted at her.
"Why do you care~", She said and procceeds to walk away. After everything I done for her, Is this what she can say!?!How arrogant.
We noticed a Sabe soldier on our way. They're finally here. It wont take them long to reach the village. I need to leave this place or else those innocent villagers will be in danger.
We went back but there seemed to be a ceremony going on. I couldnt ruin their mood.
Lora was also alone in this couple day. I though she had someone special. She used to cherish that necklace so much, I thought It was also given by that special one.
Not knowing what to do, I followed her to a cottage. She stared outside the window for too long. After reaching out to the wondow I saw Ren and STilla happily celebrating the couple day. Looks like they officially announced themselves a couple.
We were both alone in that place. It seemed like the perfect time to ask her about those dreams. I couldnt decide what to ask...Should I ask If she knows anything about why I dream of her everyday? Or...I should ask If she dreams about me too...Both of them would be too cheesy.
Unwillingly, Something unprepared just came out of my mouth,
R,"Do...we know each other?"
After the conversation, I suddenly thought of the danger surrounding us. If the sabes already reached out to the hills, They'll find us in no time. The best is to stay away from this place for a while. They will let those villagers go if they dont find us here.
I asked her to visit a garden outside the bounderies. Not knowing anything, she agrees and followed along. Before I left, I took a look at Ren and Stilla who were laughing. Ren came toward me in a signal.
R,"The sabes are almost here. We should leave this place."
Ren, "Are you sure? how far are they?"
R,"Not that far. I saw them at the hill. I'll leave with her. You bring along Stilla."
Ren, "Give us some time. We'll take something necessary."
i was rest assured with Ren's words. I knew he would do anything for Stilla's Safety.
I looked at Lora who seemed to be too excited. The whole road infront of us, She always took two steps ahead of me. While touching all those flowers and looking at them with curiousity.
She mumbled to herself while I smiled observing her childish behaviour. I cant let her see me smilling.
L,"how did you find this place?", She asked while turning around at me but still walking backwards.
R,"I always wandered around."
L,"Right you did....while Ren finished all those works alone. I was dissapointed . But...you're forgiven. Cause you found this beautiful place."
The trees were at it's end. Finally we could see the moonlight shining. I looked back expecting Ren and Stilla. But they were still not there. The worries filled my mind. Did something happen?!?!
I hardly managed Lora. I told her to cut out those excitement and go back with me. She finally agreed . We went back and faced a tragic situation.
The villagers were all killed and their dead bodies were all around the filled. I cursed at myself for being too late.
Lora was panicking amd crying continuosly. I failed to comfort her looked for Stilla and Ren. Hannah and Alex were also killed in their house. By imagining the situation, I can tell they tried to Protect Ren and STilla. While the others were killed because they hid us.
i saw the guards coming back at the direction.We hid ourselves in the bush. When they left,Lora walks off by herself. I was too confused.
How can a useless prince like me ever protect these lives.I might end up losing Her too.
They captured us and we were being driven in to the castle.
I saw her crying on the way. I wonder if my plan even gave her any hope. I promised to save them all. My plan was to use Sky. If I gain her trust, Maybe I can be powerful enough to save them.
We were walking straight to the hall. Then our path changes. They took her to the pridon hall. They ordered me to enter my room. Looks like They're still willing to serve us as royals. It means Stilla is safe too.
The guards followed me until I reached my room. I closed the doors and waited for Sky to arrive.
I was feeling totally hopeless. If my plan doesnt work out...They'll be hanged as a punishment. All I need to do is make Sky fall for my lies. But Im too bad at lying.
Few minutes passed. I was lost in my thoughts. Just Then Sky entered the room. She looked expressionless. I thought she liked me and my dissappearence can make her breakdown. She's not even happy after I arrived.
S ,"Welcome back. How have you been?"
R,"Sky I-", she stopped me from saying anything.
S, "I want you to meet with someone. Follow me."
What did she mean by 'someone'? How can she say something like this when I appeared after 2 months. Before I could reply She already walked out of the room. I had no choice but to follow her.
We kept walking silently. I saw no guards around. Maybe she ordered them to not follow us. We kept walking to an unknown place. I grew up in this palace. How did I never see this part? It is well hidden. There two hidden doors on the way. Sky handled it all while I kept following silently.
At last, There were stairs leading down. Suddenly, Sky stopped and looked at me.
S,"Make it short."
R,"What...?where are we?"
S,"You'll meet someone down there. Make sure your conversation ends in 5minutes.
I wont go any furthur."
I walked down and faced a broken door. It made a loud sound when I opened it. I saw a man facing backwards.His hair was messy and he was staring at something bright.
R,"Hello...? Do I know you-"
The person turned around. I wad shocked to see who it was.
