After that day, the samurai seeked all about the curses and related information but there was nothing that he could discover about the hex of the young noble. Zoro had been reading many books and asking people but not giving them his identity, he could not find any reliable information. It seemed that talking or asking about wizards and witches was tabu at that country, it was then when Zoro understood why Sanji had been keeping it as a secret from everyone. He was going to be judged because of that curse. The marimo head was now aware of the pain with which the young noble had been living, now the samurai respected the blonde haired boy more than before for keeping alive even it was that painful. Once again Zoro waked out from an old library since he had failed to get information, the man there refused to talk about it even though Zoro said that he would kill him if he did not answer but the shopman preferred to die than telling the information.
With a sigh the samurai covered from facr to feet in a long black cloak walked to the place where he supposed to meet Sanji so they could talk about the information gained but since the marimo head did not find any he felt useless. Once at the place which was an old garden that almost seemed a small jungle, the green haired boy got there first or that seemed so since the other wasn't there and of course Zoro got lost many times in his way to that place. Taking off the cloak he sat there waiting for the blond but then he fell asleep there, he had not been resting well the past few weeks due to the hint hunting.
"Oi, wake up marimo" Sanji kicked the sleeping boy so he would wake up and Zoro did wake up yawning and looking at the annoyed face of the other boy. He sat up and looked around and then at the blond boy "what you want shitty cook? " the samurai grabbed his swords and placed them in the small haramaki he was using even he was using western clothes. "I brought you food, shut up and eat. " he placed all the food and booze he had brought on a cloth he placed before the youn noble woke up the other boy. "How is the research going?"the blond haired asked while he light up a cigarette and puffed some smoke letting it go after some. Zoro had started to eat since he haven't been eating finely in those weeks, he spent the money in books and paying people to give him even a small piece of info they had but it wasn't enough still. "Nothing, it seems that is tabu to speak about this." He finished a whole bottle of wine and grabbed another one and drank it. The young noble finished the cigarette and light up another one, he knew that it was not going to be easy to find about it. "There is something I discovered in my family register. I told you before that my mother is not the same as my older two brothers and that she died while giving me birth, but no one told me about her and who she was." The samurai opened another bottle and drank it while listening to what the other boy was saying.
"In the the family register there was the full name of her, when I searched about her last name I discovered something that shocked me. " he finished the cigarette and then looked at the sky " she was from the famous Gwydion family " lighting up another cigarette he puffed smoke and then let it go. The samurai wonders what is so special about that family since he read that name in one of the books ge read to seek information " And who are this Gwydion family?" The samurai was curious about them since there seemed to be a connection between the curse and that family Sanji had just mentioned "I read that they are the only wizard family alive here. The others were killed by the king and queen long ago, but just that one managed to escape from it" the young noble explained with a long sigh. That made sense and there were more questions than before. Why the curse was placed? Who placed it? Why did a wizard married a noble? Love?What did actually happen? And like that more questions came up but there was just one way to discover that. By finding the Gwydion family.
"I will search for that family. You just try to find more info in your castle. We will meet in three weeks here" Zoro stood and then put on the cloak, the blond stood up as well and looked at the green haired boy who before putting the cloak over his face grabbed Sanji by the collar and pulled him to a kiss. The young noble was not surprised by ot since he knew that the other boy usually kissed him all of sudden and when he less expected it. The kiss did not last much time but it was enough for that moment, lately they did not have time to be together but there was an important issue between. Once the samurai left Sanji sat again and light up another cigarette while looking at the sky. "In love... and with a guy.. " he said to himself as he laughed a bit, he had finally found the love of his life and it was a shitty foreign samurai who was a guy. They fought a lot and they called each other with names, he drank too much but was a caring guy, Sanji noticed that when the other promised to find a way to remove the curse even it was impossible. Then the blond wondered if there was actually any way to remove that damn curse and live like any other human being.
And like that the days passed and the samurai went to other village to get information since no people wanted to talk about the Gwydion family where Zoro was living. The thing that bothered Zoro the most was the fact that Sanji's mother was a wizard who died while giving birth, it was to strange. How could a wizard who were more strong than usual humans die during a birth. It did not make sense for the samurai and he wanted to know the truth for the sake of his beloved one. The green haired boy accepted that he had feelings for his saviour, he could not tell if it was love or not but he cared of Sanji more than himself and that feeling was not just loyalty towards the person who saved his live and Zoro knew that better than anyone. He would do anything to save the young noble even if it meant giving up his own life. That strong were the feelings that the samurai had. He went to may villages and cities but did not got any relevant hint of where could that Gwydion family could be.
"Sir, do you know any information about this Gwydion family?" Zoro asked to a medical store owner who looked pretty shady and had weird blue eyes. The guy glared at the samurai who was frozen for few seconds "Why you want to know about our family? " Zoro could not be more surprised at that revelation, he was thankful to could meet a member of the family. He took of the cloak from his face and looked at the man standing in front of him "there is a certain curse on a person, I want to know the way to remove it" there was a smirk on his face as he looked around the store which was pretty suspicious "come with me" the man lead him to the basement of the shop which connected the basement of the castle where that family lived. Zoro was prepared of they attacked but they did not do something like that and he was carefully lead to the head of that family in his room. The trip was long, pretty long.
Once there Zoro was forced to explain everything about the victim of the curse in exchange of telling him the way to remove the curse. As the explanation started the head of the family looked furious at the green haired boy who noticed the changing expression of that old man. The samurai made sure to tell everything he knew so it would be an equal exchange and as promised the great wizard even he was not pleased with it he did tell Zoro the way to remove that hex. The explanation was long and there were many parts that the green haired boy did not understand but he did get the main and important part "but.. that Sanji boy should not be aware of this, if you tell him the spell won't work. Bring him here as soon as possible " the old wizard said and left the room. Zoro was prepared for it, he did told himself that even he had to give his life he would cure Sanji and he was going to fulfil his promise no matter what.
