she had took an oath to stand before a sword before it reaches him but she is not sure if it was her oath or her love for him that made her give up her life for him, she knew he would be furious if he knew that she gave up her life protecting him when it wasnt hers to save anymore. She is thinking of how to save him even when she is on the verge to meet death. She cant feel anything as she walks the dim lit hallway, the only sound that can be heard is of her sword being dragged as the blood trails behind her.
even she didnt know if the blood was hers or her enemies, She walked up to a golden grey door, sliding it open. There he was sitting on a throne, she felt her cheeks getting warm from the anger she was feeling. " aww is the little dog mad that its not their master" The grey haired boy spoke as he smirked and laid back on the throne, before he could blink, he felt something cold touch his neck, she was next to him with her dagger on his throat, "Now tell me where he is before i get mad." she asked.
"H-How did you" he could feel himself shaking he knew he underestimated her. "shh, your voice is annoying, now where is he," he heard her voice beside his ear, he was scared of dying so he spoke "In the shining tower, under the clock room", he felt her removing her dragger from his throat and walking away, before she left the room, he heard her "no wonder, you lost to your little brother first prince. See you in hell."
She walked towards the tower, as she felt herself walking faster until she was running towards it. as she reaches the room, she took a long sigh and opened it, ready to face her death. "Seriously ?? why do you wanna die so bad" she heard his voice, that still makes her heart beat race each second, She looked up as she felt his piercing stare at her. "i apologize, your highness but if my worthless life can save your life, i am happy to put it in your hands", She heard him sigh at her words and speak "why do you hate me, What makes you think i will kill the girl i love more than this kingdom."
" Your majesty," she bowed and continued " Please dont say such things while your wearing that crown, its an insult to the crown" Before she finished her words, she felt something hitting the ground near her, " YOUR MAJESTY" ,she felt her voice getting louder, "Look at me and call me by my name " she heard him say. she sighed as she looked him the eyes and said "Thanatos, its time to let me go" As she picked up the crown and walked up to him.
He lowered himself and let her place the crown on him with no complaints, and spoke up, " arcane, when i stop being your Velleitie, I know you love me back," he felt her hands on his cheeks, wiping his tears that he didnt realize were there, "Your highness, i am sorry but its time"
The doors opened as almost 20 or so people came, She was on standing far from him, with her head down, and he was sitting on the throne with an emotionless face. The scene and emotions had changed within the span of 30 secs. Thanatos looked at the people who are the reason for his misery and then at her, "Arcane, Either kneel before my throne or fall to my feet without a head, The choice is your hands", He saw her look up and smile as she said " What if my desire is to both kneel and be relieved from this burden of life i have took, Would you ensure my head falls then"
"What are you doing my lord, KILL THAT TRAITOR" a man with beard yelled. As everyone in the room started chanting " KILL HER' 'KILL THAT TRAITOR'. "SILENCE" he spoke as walked up to her, reaching for his sword hoping she would kill him, or the least run away. Arcane and Thantos both looked at each other, Knowing well that she was stronger than anyone in this room, including him. All his hopes crumbled as he saw her standing still, waiting from him to kill her. Their eyes not leaving the others. she saw his eyes glisten with the hint of tears if looked closely , "you are the cruelest, my love" she heard his words before everything went black and the reply she gave was a small smile.
