I saw her running out of the room, everyone in the room looked at me attentively
"I apologize, but I have some business to attend to," I said, then walked in the direction Renamon had addressed. When I was alone, a malicious grin crossed my face. Renamon's naive fool had fallen into the trap, that spike she had seen was not from her beloved Lucario, but from another that my men had murdered some time ago.
When I saw Renamon's reluctant attitude of wanting to escape every day, and even at night, I sent my subjects to find that cursed Lucario to keep him locked in the dungeon and never to see the light of day again, no one had found him Making my plan even easier.
"Do you know she'll hate you when he knows the truth?" Shadow said as he floated beside me.
"Of course, but she would not have to know the truth," I said as I continued walking down the stairs leading to the ceiling.
"You're just playing with her feelings," Shadow said, following me.
"Of course not, she is the one chosen for me and I will not let that Lucario snatch her from me"
Suddenly a loud scream came to my ears, no doubt it was Renamon's, I hurried up the stairs, I opened the door and then I saw her, she was kneeling with her back to me while she looked at the floor
"You should not do this, she does not love you," he said, reproaching me, I looked at Shadow and smiled triumphantly at him.
"No, but soon it will." Sententie, I walked to Renamon, I kneeled beside her and touched her shoulder, she looked at me with tears in her eyes and I put the best face of compassion I had ever had , Pounced on me crying in my chest while I consoled her with a big hug.
I carried her into my arms and carried her to my room, laid her on the bed and sat next to her, she clung to my leg as I caressed her on her shoulder.
Well, cheating on a female was easy, I just had to show compassion and feelings and in less than I expected they were already at my feet.
We were like this for what seemed a few minutes until Renamon's cry began to stop, released my leg and clutched instead to a pillow biting her not to continue crying, I looked at the clock in the room and I was surprised that they were already Almost three in the afternoon. I left the room and asked one of the cooks to prepare some food to take her to Renamon.
When the food was ready I took the tray in which they always carried it and I went to my room. When I arrived and did not see Renamon I thought maybe I had gone to the bathroom, but when I went to inspect I saw her lying on the floor with cuts on her wrists, chest and throat
"Renamon!"to see her I ran out looking for someone to help me, I felt all the panic of the world in me, luckily someone had heard me and was already heading towards me
"Your excellency?"
"Quickly bring a doctor!" strangely my request came out of my mouth in an altered and distressing tone
I went back to the room and saw how Shadow had already climbed her to the bed and tried to clean her wounds
"How did you cut yourself?" I asked as I sat next to her, still unconscious.
"With her claws," he said, and then merged with me because the doctor had arrived.
Without wasting time he inspected and bandaged Renamon's wounds, gave me a list of all the food I had to eat to regain strength and then left giving me his best wishes to recover soon.
"She did it for him, didn't she?"
"She wanted to see him again," said Shadow, parting from me and watching Renamon.
I caressed her cheek and closed my hand in a fist clawing my claws
"She's for me, why don't you accept it?"
"That you have seen it fleetingly in a dream does not make it yours"
"I know but when I saw her in that clear no doubt that it was her-"
"She does not love you, you must let her go and not intrude on your path, we both know that Lucario is alive and no doubt when he awakens from your nightmares he will complain-"
"Not if I first claim her as mine, after all she thinks he's dead and with the attentions I'll give him for sure he'll fall in love with me!"
