Flashback
"And then what happened?" I asked as I happily jumped into my mother's lap. Mother chuckled softly as she stroked my long scarlet hair. "Oh Kaen... And then, the Prince came and save the princess from the evil witch of course!"
"Really?"
Mother nodded her head as she gently combed my long hair using her fingers.
I smiled. Fancy, a real prince saving you...
I could almost smell his sweet scent, hear the sound of the horse's hooves as we rode together, feel his silky skin, taste him...
End of Flashback
Nothing.
None of my dreams came true. Well, not the way that I wanted them to be anyway.
In reality, there was no prince. No prince to save you, no prince to kiss and cuddle up with...
But in reality, there was pain, there was terror and fear...
There was the cruel war that tore families apart.
And, there was him.
The silky and long blond hair, shining like the sun on a hot summer day. The beautiful yet strong armour that protected his muscular body beneath. The sharp yet light sword that he uses to kill...
And protect.
Those lips that I knew too well, the hands and skin...
And those piercing blue eyes.
Some say, it's like staring into the eyes of the devil himself.
It's not true.
I've seen the REAL eyes.
Those beautiful blue eyes, as blue as the cloudless sky.
I could stare into those eyes for hours. The eyes that told a story. A story of a harsh fate and terrible war.
Sometimes I couldn't help but to wonder, why do people hate him? Why?
How can you hate someone so beautiful?
But then again, I'm in love with him, and love, they said, was blind.
But I'm not blind. I could clearly see the lonely boy within. The boy who tried to be brave, the boy who wanted a friend...
I could see, MY prince charming. My very own prince. Come to think of it, I'm much more luckier than all the other girls in Kutou, I had MY own prince.
My Nakago.
"Soi."
His voice was cold.
"Hai?" I replied almost immediately, snapping out of my daydreams.
"It's time."
I silently watched as he put on his armour, gearing up for the war. I just sat there, in my chair, not wanting to move. I didn't want to leave. Why should I? Why should I leave my comfort zone, leave my dreams all behind for a stupid war?
"Nakago?" I whispered.
Nakago looked at me, his once ocean blue eyes had turned icy blue again. "What?"
Rushing forward, I wrapped my arms around him, holding him back. I buried my face in his clothes. "I... Please... Just say it... Just once..."
Nakago pushed me away roughly. "Soi," He stressed my name. "There is no time for this nonsense."
Nakago left the room, leaving me to hug my own body. "I love you..." My voice was a mere pathetic whisper.
Must you really be so harsh, so cruel, so cold? Must you?
Must you follow that goddamn emperor's orders? I wish you could answer me. Right now, I wanted so much to hold you, so much to comfort you...
I would kill the stars, bring the sun to you, make you feel like a real god...
I asked for nothing in return...
Was that so hard to ask for?
I smiled when the truth struck me.
No, I already had my wishes granted.
I already seen the real side of you my prince, I've shared your tears of joy and sorrow, you happiness and your pain...
I was always there for you when you needed me to comfort you.
And for that, I thank you.
I thank you for opening yourself up to me.
Thank you, for making me feel like a real princess with her prince. Thank you...
You didn't need to say those three words Nakago.
You actions said it all.
If only you knew...
