Gale opened the jail door silently. He roamed his eyes everywhere to secure no one found him sneaking into this cell. When he found no one, he sneaked into the room and he was greeted by a sleeping Henea in her stone bed.
He shook his head. Henea is sleeping like a baby and her hair is folded everywhere on her face. He put his book into a small podium and took out his jacket.
She's still royalty but no one ever gave her care. How cruel is this Law! he's been serving royalty since his father was diagnosed with Ataxia. A loss of muscle control affects the balance and coordination of the legs the body and the arm. His father has trouble walking. And as the Eldest of their family, he substituted his father to let him rest.
He put his jacket on her body and kneel in front of her face. Her sleep facial figure is soft. She doesn't look like her twin. The known princess in their kingdom is a bit uncontrollable. She'll get what she wants if she likes it.
"You can't see them but they can see you. You think you can blind them, if it's just your point, you've already lost," he remembered her saying those words.
He sat on the ground and drop his forehead on her bed. " I don't think I would lose against them. They might be the Royal Rulers but they are still human. A human being who never learns how to deal with humans equally."
He looked at her again. The light from the moon lit the whole room, but it was more visible to her face. " Let me deal with them, my princess." He couldn't just stay still and let them do things cruel to her. He shall need to act.
He tilted his head and looked closer at her face. " I may be gone by but I will get you back. I promise," he kissed her forehead before he stood.
Tonight is his departure. He was chosen by his mother's noble lord to school overseas. He couldn't oppose their decision because of a huge debt. After his father was confined in his illness, they were calculated with plenty of loans.
Meanwhile, at the castle, Medea happily opened her box full of her jewelry. But one thing that caught her attention was the small box on her small table. Her forehead creased. ' who would have thought they could trick the whole kingdom to play with their games?'
She opened the box and the beautiful shining pendant lay in her eyes. She stared at it, completely worried.
"Why would you need to live? You could have stayed peacefully in your grave. My life now is perfect. There were no you to ruin it." She tried to touch the pendant but it suddenly changes black like a dull blade.
She clenched and shouted in annoyance. " you need to die Henea! I need you to be gone."
"GALE, YOU WILL BE STAYING FOR FOUR YEARS AT THE FEADS DISTRICT." the noble Lord said to him. He nodded. He took the private carriage of the lord. No one must know that this night will be the last Gale known as Gale. Now, he'll be living in this place for the new him that the Lord wants him to portray.
He bitterly smiled. Even though he already said 'Goodbye' to her, he still has doubts. He doesn't know what the future will be playing in their fate.
