A one shot in honor of those Lucciola/Dio fans out there! Enjoy!
Confession:
I was concerned when Lord Dio began interacting with the surface dwellers, after all it was my duty to protect him and ensure his well-being. How could I forsee that this interaction would change him forever.
I knew Delphine would not let him escape the ceremony. I heard Cicada's transmission in my communicator while I was speaking to the Sylvana engineer. I felt sick to my stomach. Cicada was coming and I was powerless to do anything. I cannot fight him, he is my brother and he is only doing his duty. Dio is a guild noble, he is a principal, he is the guild heir. I am only a servant, it is not my duty to interfere with the Maestro's wishes. Even though I have never seen Lord Dio as happy and free as he is here, on this ship, I am torn by my allegiance to the Maestro and to my only friend. The Maestro is the reason I am with him. I owe her my happiness, however fleeting.
I should have reacted much earlier when I overheard him say that he did not wish to leave Sylvana, but I could not, I was weak. I wanted him to be happy even for a short while, since he had made my life happy everyday with his presence. I have been selfish, and now I will suffer the ultimate price, I will lose my friend.
Lord Dio has been very generous to me. He has always treated me kindly ever since we first met. I have never been called friend before, and so I am at a loss. I know he will hate me, when he realized that I knew they were coming. I could warn the others but it will be useless, the Maestro always gets her way. Many would die and Dio would still have to return to the guild to attend the Ceremony of Agoon, it is and has been his destiny. We both knew this day was coming. It is my duty to protect him and I have failed. My weakness will be his undoing, but I could not refuse him. He is my life. If only there were another way, but I must resign myself to the truth. Although I must obey the Maestro's commands, I will continue to protect him, I will not fail him again. He is my friend and I love him, like no other. No one can understand what it is that I feel, and even I am surprised by the intensity of this emotion. If only I could show him. Does he realize the effect that he has on me,when hugs me closely from behind or when he laughs at me for being unable to express emotion. Would he be happy by it? My heart beats so fast when I think of him it makes me feel dizzy. If only it did not have to end this way. I must be composed and rid myself of these thoughts, Lord Dio will need me now more than ever.
One day, I will prove my devotion to him and maybe then he will understand how I feel.
Until that day, I shall remain at his side, and love him silently as it has always been.
