´I really do love you.. With all my heart…And yet I'm still so alone..´
The man in the purple robes.. He rested his head on her shoulder.
'Ryu'- 'Don't.'
The girl looked up, only to be caught in the others eyes.
She smiled, and wiped a strain of hair from his face.
'Ruuki.'
The man shook his head, but she still continued.
'Listen to me, Ryuuki. I know you are lonely. And it hurts me to see you like that. You know that, don't you?'
The man nodded.
'But..'
'No but….'
'But.. You also know, what I want. I want to be an official, Ryuuki. It has been my dream, since I was young. You know that, right?'
The man looked at the ground. 'I know that' he whispered.
Shuurei gently took his hand.
'Maybe, Ryuuki. Maybe, later, when I'm older, maybe.'
Tear dropped from the mans eye. He nodded again, still looking at the ground.
'I don't want you to go..' He whispered, very softly. But she could still hear.
'Come. Let's go inside. It's cold.'
She was about to turn around, when the emperor suddenly embraced her.
'I don't want you to go..' 'I know.'
