revelation

Gao knew that their lives were getting shorter and shorter, so he searched even harder, so he found one, the book says, you need to spill one lie which nobody ever knows, so they did what the book says, since evryone has secrets, they understood why they had lies and that, Rosette comes first and said, we were once a very powerful family but many sorcerers were hunting us down so my parents did everything they can to protect me, but nothing worked since many people already knew that, so she tried again and said, I once had a childhood friend whom I treated like a prince, I also loved him too. Gao wondered who it was, he doubted that it was his brother, but even if Gao didn't knew that secret, the curse was still there, so Gao said, maybe one person already knew that, how bout another secret? although Gao was hurt, he still understood and trusted Rosette, but Rosette was slightly confused, so she thought that Cyfer already knew that, so she proceeded to another secret, but she wasn't able to continue for a little note appeared before her, it says, " I already knew that you loved me , but when we gone to Phedelphia, I wasn't able to tell you about my love, so I tried to look for you my dear pincess, but when I found you, you were somebody else's Queen, so even if it hurts, I will still learn to accept it, wishing you a happy life with my younger brother! by the way I didn't show up in your wedding because I don't want to ruin the atmosphere. both of you, Dont worry about me, I'm living happily now and proud of you both. Rosette bursted into tears, she was dejected, for she thought that Cyfer abandoned her for a princess of his own, she was still hurt about knowing some truth, even if those times were already behind her. Gao was really hurt, he didnt felt jealous, but felt guilt instead, because he knew that his brother was looking for someone special and even almost lost his only life because of searching for her, Gao even promised Cyfer that he'll find the girl someday, but Cyfer didn't let him, he felt guilty when he knew that it was Rosette whom Cyfer was looking for, it was Rosette that Cyfer really loved dearly, of course Gao never knew that it was Rosette, his first love was his brother's first love too, although Cyfer already accepted them, Gao still couldn't accept himself, the atmosphere was kinda weird, so in order to change the subject Gao told her to please proceed, so she said, Gao, when I met you, I already knew that you were Cyfer's brother, so I wanted to get close to you to find Cyfer, but everytime I come near you, my feelings becomes stronger and stronger, and as time passes by, I have already forgotten your dear brother since I was so focused on you, our relationship and our future, although Rosette was kinda guilty, she still told the truth and then cried, then Gao said, don't cry, let past be buried in the past. then it's already Gao's turn, Gao said, every time I touch you, come near you, of course I felt pain like how the others did, but I chose to stay quiet, because I know that you'll avoid me if you know that I'll get hurt, I chose to sacrifice for us both to experience true love, after that, Rosette was moved, she cried and cried, she blamed herself about it, but Gao told her to be grateful instead so she did, she felt warm, but she didnt know that the warmness she felt was slowly melting Gao which is the reason why they were almost disappearing.
