Companion
Azrael Williams / DO
I am not changing my decision
Azrael Williams / DO
I can't
Keith Winter / DA
I am not asking you to change anything
Keith Winter / DA
I know you have always been as stubborn as a mule
Keith Winter / DA
But as your personal guard, let me follow you
Keith Winter / DA
*kneels in front of him*
Keith Winter / DA
this is my first and only request
Azrael Williams / DO
Get up, Keith
Azrael Williams / DO
It's too dangerous, even for me alone. Bringing you along would be like instigating him.
Keith Winter / DA
I don't care
Keith Winter / DA
I would rather die saving you
Azrael Williams / DO
I don't want more blood on my hands *voice falterring*
Keith Winter / DA
Please, your majesty
Azrael Williams / DO
What about my kingdom, my brothers and sisters here? Who will protect them?
Keith Winter / DA
I have trained the shadow guards from adolescence to adulthood. They will protect them.
Azrael Williams / DO
They failed once
Azrael Williams / DO
I can't take a chance
Keith Winter / DA
You will need me
Azrael Williams / DO
I DON'T need anyone
Keith Winter / DA
I misspoke
Keith Winter / DA
*head bowed*
Azrael Williams / DO
Forget it
Azrael Williams / DO
prepare two of our best horses
Azrael Williams / DO
We will leave tomorrow
Keith Winter / DA
You won't take a carriage?
Azrael Williams / DO
I won't give him the satisfaction of seeing me like a bride
Keith Winter / DA
Your majesty?
Keith Winter / DA
The people will never forget your sacrifice
Keith Winter / DA
You were the first omega Emperor and the best Emperor we could ever have
Azrael Williams / DO
What good is gratitude, Keith? If I wasn't an omega, I might have not been so powerless as to be marrying my enemy king.
Keith Winter / DA
You're not powerless
Azrael Williams / DO
My parents were killed. My troops were annihilated. So what if they used backhanded tricks, we lost. That’s what matters.
Azrael Williams / DO
*wipes his eyes swiftly*
Azrael Williams / DO
Forget it
Azrael Williams / DO
I will question you for the last time, Keith
Azrael Williams / DO
Your loyalty, who does it lie to?
Azrael Williams / DO
*points his sword at him*
Keith Winter / DA
*kneels down to press the sword against his throat*
Keith Winter / DA
My loyalty lies not to the throne or the kingdom. It lies to you, my liege.
Keith Winter / DA
*solemn*
Azrael Williams / DO
Very well
Azrael Williams / DO
Let us go
Azrael Williams / DO
my companion
Azrael Williams / DO
*smiles but it doesn't reach his eyes*
The next day, dawn saw the two of them setting on a journey too bitter to be wished safe
Azrael Williams / DO
Do I look too prepared?
Azrael Williams / DO
This was the least lavish dress I had
Keith Winter / DA
*smiles* it does not matter what you wear, your majesty
Keith Winter / DA
You will only look like a fallen king to the people there
Azrael Williams / DO
That's good
Azrael Williams / DO
as long as I don't look like an ugly fallen king
Azrael Williams / DO
right?
Keith Winter / DA
*looks at him with sad eyes*
They set off, after journeying for 8 hours they reach the gates of the southern kingdom
Fate is strange— stranger than all our imaginations.
