When he tried to think about it he was struck by a massive headache causing him to let out a pained groan. The headache was gone just as fast as it had started leaving him in even greater confusion than before.

"Do it brother, kill me and finished what you have started but be warned because when I come back I will be very pissed."
These words held no weight after all they were spoke by the man who was about to be executed but the fervor and intensity of his eyes seemed to be a scorching furnace causing Raziel to step back on reflex.
"What is it brother? DO IT!"
The yell of the damned forcefully snapped him out of his dreamland, Raziel the sovereign of Regulis was wet with beads of sweat, his breath was rugged and his heart was pounding so bad it almost burst out of his chest.
"What is it?"
Next to him his wife the beautiful Mira Elsa Sagittarius asked with a soft worried voice that was still somewhat groggy since she had just been sleeping until now.
"I-Its nothing my dear go back to bed it was just a bad dream."
He smiled at her or at the very least that was his intention but the smile turned out to be a grimace. After all this was the fourth nightmare in a raw he had experienced and it was about the incident dating eight years back around the time he took over as the head of the house of the lion Regulus. (Why now?) He questioned himself, at first he had ignored it as coincidence but now he was beginning to imagine the worst.

It turned out the young elf was a heavy sleeper for he managed to go find some food which was very easy with his extremely keen senses, not only that but he even started a fire and cooked his kill while she was asleep. Just when he was about to start eating, he heard it, the footsteps of quite a dozen men and from the sound of it they were a few hundred metres away and all of them were armed that is how absurd his sense of hearing was. The most natural thing to do would have been to ignore them but a strong bloodlust blanketed the area apparently he could detect such things also.
"Hey wake up we have company."
He gently shook the elf a few times before she opened her eyes with a dreamy expression.
"What is it?"
She rubbed her eyes vulnerably, the entire scene was nothing short of arousing any sane man would find it hard to restrain himself from doing the unforgivable on this partially naked damsel but no such passions arose in him, he just stared at her without blinking.
"You are finally awake I see."
After a while she seemed to have adjusted to being awake and made that note. It seems her sense of awareness was rather lacking because Karlmine was sure under normal circumstances she was supposed to be making a fuss over a male staring at her delicate body but none of that was visible on her, it seemed they shared something in common because he was also fully aware that in such situations he was supposed to avert his eyes from the pristine naked body of the elf but he felt no need to do it actually the whole scene did not seem to affect him at all.
"That seems to be the case____ here."
He tossed her clothes to her which had just been dried earlier and went on to stand there staring at her.
"…."
After the passage of a few seconds with the princess seemingly not planning to do anything he asked.
"Is there any particular reason why you aren't wearing your clothes? I believe I just highlighted to you earlier that there are people heading this way."
"Are you insane, you cannot possibly expect me to start dressing with you staring at me like that."
Her white cheeks had a pinkish blush apparently she did have that girlishness inside.
"Oh! my apologies."
He immediately turned away and faced towards the trees. Roughly a minute passed then___
"I am done you can turn back now."
The elf had finished wearing.
"Are you sure you are normal?"
The elven lady tossed that question with a surprised gaze which was laced with confusion.
"And what do you mean?"
"I mean you have been stranded with a beautiful lady but you chose to start a fire seriously how boorish."
Evidently she was also quite an outspoken individual.
"A beautiful lady huh should the person herself refer to herself as that?"
Karlmine raised her brow slightly.
"Well if you are made the way I was it is only natural that you would say things like this but you do not seem to react at all to my charms could it be that you are actually into the same gender."
This time it was the princess who raised her eyebrows with wonderment.
"Honestly I have no recollection of my past but I can safely say that I don't have that type of preferences. You are extremely captivating indeed. Actually for a while I did this and that with your sleeping body then I went on to do that until I was satisfied."
He was actually wriggling his fingers with the same blank expression he had causing the princess to tense.
"Huh! Impossible."
The princess suddenly shrieked covering her body with her slim hands and retreating from him a little.
"Regardless to say I was only kidding."
She had totally fallen for it, it was only normal because all this while his face had hardly changed at all it was void of any emotions or expression just a blank stare.
"It seems I misjudged you Prince Karlmine."
The young elf pouted but the young man noted something, the elf had just addressed him with a name.
"Should I take it that the name Karlmine you just mentioned happens to be my name?"
"Oh you did mention that you lost your memories. Yes Karlmine is your name. Prince Karlmine Regulus."
Immediately the young man winced, another headache struck him when he heard his name and surname.
I am sorry Karlmine but this, us never happened, it never existed there was never an us from the beginning.
Suddenly those words rang in his mind drowning him in rage and other negative emotions. He had no idea what exactly had happened in his past or whose voice that one was but it filled him with heart shattering pain.
