_Chapter 2.5 starts now_

"Why... Why can't I be together with Ley?!"

The king didn't say a word, "... Dio.. You are Ley's twin brother, a prince and our son," The queen has broke the silence, "However, a fortune teller who helped the king made this kingdom a prophecy.", "The child who was born with the birthmark will bring an end to this kingdom... Along with the child." she continued, The twins was shocked, "Thanks to that part, I couldn't have killed you." the king said,

"My son, the prince has died when he was born, the child who lives at the north tower was.."

"Nothing but a bringer of disaster."

The king said while pointing at Dio. "I won't let you destroy my kingdom. Wrought from my tears and blood!" he said, "I will not abide you to go outside, nor will I abode you dying.", "You will exist for the sole purpose of serving this purple kingdom!"

"Father!" Ley shouted, "Kuh.." her shoulder was hurt, "Ley!" Dio shouted, "... Nanny... Take Dio to the north tower..." The queen said,

"Don't ever get near Ley again, Ley's injuries are all your fault!" The king said,

"Father! You're wrong!" Ley shouted at her father,

Dio turned a bit down, "The curse laid upons you afflicts even those arounds you!" The king continued, "Father!" the princess shouted, Dio ran away from the room and sat outside the castle,.

"How's Ley?" the king asked his queen in his room, "She only managed to fall asleep somehow.." the queen replied,

"That's not what i'm asking. What i'm asking is, will there be any traces of her injuries?"

"There may be some traces when she hit the ground.."

"Then her worth will go down, will it not?! And she was one of my bargaining chip with the blue kingdom!"

"The war still rages on with the north kingdom along our borders.." the king continued, " "The cost of waging war are only getting steeper, and yet this year, the excessive rainfall has caused curse crop failure everywhere!" the king said, "Ever since Dio was born, it has only been one bad thing after another.." he continued,

"He and Ley have been keeping in touch using the royal passageway haven't they, my queen?" the king said again while putting his hand on his forehead and making a very nervous face, he hoped that nothing bad will happen next time,

"Don't leave him in the north tower, take him to somewhere, far away and shut him away there for him.." he said again, "Somewhere far away where 'his' curse will not be able to reach us... Somewhere far away, for me, my queen..." he continued. The queen stared at him, she cant disobey the king so she had to listen to him..

She went to the north tower and knock the door on Dio's door,

"Dio, i'm coming in." she said,

Dio was playing his piano when the queen came,

"You will not stay here anymore.. You will move somewhere region east from here.." she continued,

Dio stared at her and asked "Does that mean I wont be able to play with Ley again..?" with a sad face,

"... Dio.. You've done nothing wrong except to born with such birthmark.." the queen replied. "From now on, Ley will also shoulder a heavy burden." she continued, "The king is planning to make Ley the next sovereign instead of his younger brother." she said again,

"The king's younger brother is an ambitious man, and there is no telling what he may try and do to Ley, and some goes to our neighboring kingdom." she said, "The purple kingdom is powerful, but the power can be taken in a flash." she continued, "And it is only a question the time that the blue kingdom, our ally, will betray us." she continued again. "Ley, who will become the next sovereign, is now struggling to be as royal as his father, the king. She tries very hard to acomplish the way to be a true royal person but she kept on failing and it is because of-" the queen was cutted of by Dio,

"I don't care what will happen to this kingdom, I don't care wether it will ruin or destroyed. However, I want to protect Ley," he said, "Please my queen, I beg you, please give me the strength and knowledge to protect her." he continued while groveling politely to the queen, "Ley gave me the meaning to ts world, ". "To me..

Ley is

my whole

world." he said, the queen stared at him,

"You... You've made a mistake there... " the queen replied, "However.., we were the ones who put you in the north tower, in order to pay you back, I shall register you to a place where you can study to use a sword properly, at that place, there's a school also, a place where you can study." she continued and smiled, Dio felt excited and said "Thank you" to the queen while bowing, but, he felt sad at the same time, leaving the Princess alone in this kingdom.

At night, Ley ran to the north tower to see Dio with her injuries on her shoulder, while she was running to the north tower using the secret passageway, she heard the king's younger brother's voice and a bunch of other people voices who lived at this kingdom on the other side of the secret passageway,

"That annoying Ley.. How can she be the next king..?! Curse my brother and her! I wish she just died in this kingdom," she heard the prince said,

"My my... Don't tell me you make the horse wild just to make the princess injured, " said a lady to the prince,

"It wasn't me, but I admit that I want that to happen.. Hahahahahaha!" he laughed,

When Ley heard that she cried but continued to walk to the north tower, she ran there while injured, she opens the door to Dio's room,

"Dio!" she shouted, Dio was reading a book when the princess came,

"Ley!" he shouted, Ley sat on the ground and cried,

"Father said such horrible things...! You're not a mon-" she shouted, the shouting made her injuries hurt,

"Kuh..!" she said in pain,

"Ley..." Dio said while touching her shoulder which was not injured, "... Why are you crying? Don't cry." he said and pat Ley's head. "Listen Ley, I'm going to move to somewhere far away from this kingdom. We may wont see each other for a long time, but I will be back to you in 2 or 3 years." he continued, Ley stared at him and shouted "No! NO! NONONONONO!" to Dio and punch him on the face again and again and again, then, she started to realize, "Ah... Sorry..." she said and she covers her face with her hands. "It's o... Okay.." Dio said to her and make the 'good job' sign hand with his face that had been punch by Ley.
