**** Subaru pov. ****

I got everything I need; swords for Rowan and Aiden, a necklace for Lily and shoes for Aurora. I carefully put the shoes in a silver box and made my way to Rowan's Study room. Lily told me before that I need to start from oldest to youngest. I knocked at Rowan's study room and wait for an answer.

"Come in." He said.

I opened the door and saw Rowan and Aiden. They were studying a map and they looked at me with a calm expression. I looked at the two lords with butterflies in my stomach.

"I am here to ask for your blessings." I announced, "The blessing to be like one of you. Someone who can't die from a blow of a sword."

"Really?" Aiden smirked, "Then, what did you bring for us?"

"This." I presented them the swords.

"Swords?" Rowan questioned, "We have many swords in our own collection, but why should add this sword in our own collection?"

"These swords symbolize how much I love Aurora. Without her, I am nothing." I said, "Please accept these swords. Let me be like one of you. Let me be with Aurora."

They closed their eyes and said nothing.

"We'll give you our blessings, Subaru." Rowan said.

"But, if you do one thing wrong to my sister." Aiden hardened his look, "You will be prepared for the worst."

"I understand." I nodded, "I will treat her well."

"You will find Aurora at her dance room." Aiden said, 'Be careful, Aurora was supposed to tell you after your father's trial, so she might take this slowly."

"Thank-you." I bowed, 'Thank-you."

I ran to where Aurora is. I didn't see her today due to meetings with the army officials. Once I arrived there, I saw her dancing with Daniel. They danced elegantly and I wished I was dancing with Aurora. Aurora saw me and walked to me.

"Why are you here?" She asked, "I thought you were with Reiji."

"I wanted to see you." I pecked her cheek, 'Besides, I want to ask you something in private."

Aurora looked at Daniel and he quickly left. We sat down and she wait for me to tell her the question.

"Well, could you give me your blessing to be like immortal like you?" I asked.

Her smile faded as I asked her for the blessing.

"How did you know?" She whispered, "You weren't supposed to know until after your father's trial."

"I heard it from Lily." I answered, "But, I know that I will do anything for you. Please let me be with you forever. I know you gone through many battles and I know there will be more. Let me fight with you during those battles. Please, my love."

"Then, what did you bring for me?" She looked at me.

I showed her the pair of shoes and she gasped.

"They are beautiful." She said.

"And they are one of a kind." I cupped her cheeks, "Just like you."

"Thank-you." She hugged me, "You have my blessings."

She kissed me with passion. I never expect her to be a good kisser. I kissed her back and it lasted quite a while.

"Go to Lily." She whispered to my ear, 'She is at the library."

"Thank-you." I said, "I love you."

I walked to the library with the last gift for the youngest. Lily was known to have a two-faced personality. She has an evil side and a good side. I am determined to stay at her good side. I walked in the library and she quickly said something.

"You have my blessing." Lily said.

"How did you know that I am going to ask you that?"

"I have the gift of foresight like Aurora." She replied, "I know that you will have a happy future with Aurora."

"Thank-you." I smiled, "I brought you this."

"A necklace." She study the necklace, "Simply, yet elegant. The suitors I have always give me heavy jewelry. Thank-you, Subaru. You second step begins now. You are not allowed to drink any blood in three days."

"I know."

"You may leave."

**** Aurora pov. ****

Today is Tougo Sakamaki trial. All council members arrived; Rowan, Aiden, Lily, me, my parents and three other members. Tamotsu arrived early because he had to give the Sakamaki brothers a potion to drink. That potion allows vampires to survive all day until the next morning. I dressed in my formal clothes. This outfit unusual because I am wearing a pale blue high-low dress, black legging, black knee high leather boots. I put on my sword strap and wore my circlet. I personally hide my bow and arrows under my throne, so I don't need to be unarmed during trials. I heard a knock and I opened.

"Hey." I smiled.

"You look beautiful." Subaru blushed.

"Thanks." I said, "Are you doing well on the fasting?"

"Yeah." He nodded, "Shall we head to the throne room?"

"Of course." I took his arm.

We made our way to the throne room. There, I saw my parents. I rushed to them, giving them a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Father. Mother." I bowed to them.

"My beloved daughter." My mother, Bernice, cupped my cheeks, "You look beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you." I smiled.

"Aurora," My father, William, came up to me, "Strong like a warrior. I am so proud of you."

"I only learned from the best, father." I replied, "And that is you."

"Ahhhh." My father smiled, "Look at her, still sweet-talking."

"Father. Mother. There is someone special that I want you to meet." I beckoned Subaru to come, "This is Subaru Sakamaki."

"An honor to meet you, your majesties." Subaru bowed.

"Subaru." My father looked at him, "Since you have earn my daughter's love, you must treat her well or else I will cast you to the deepest darkest pits if you do anything wrong to her."

"I understand. "Subaru gulped.

"Honey," My mother puts a hand on my father's arm, "You are making him nervous."

"What? I am just merely warning him." My father looked at her, "Besides, I can see he is not like his father."

"If you excuse Subaru and me," I said, "We will go greet the other members."

They nodded and I introduced Subaru to the other three members I was talking about; Michael, Chriselle and Nathan. We talked about the battles we have been through. Subaru tightened his grip around me when he heard about the injuries I had. Everything went well when it is time for the trial. I sat down on my throne. I noticed my pet wolf, Blackjack, is there, sitting down beside my feet. I pet him and smiled that my hunting companion is here.

"Bring in Tougo Sakamaki." My father announced in a loud, strong voice.

Tougo was brought in and I was glad that he is in chains. He sat down and he looks like a mess. His hair isn't combed, his clothes are stained with dry blood and he looks like he barely has any sleep.

"Tougo Sakamaki is accused to be an unrightful ruler." Michael said, "Due to all the things he did in the past, it hasn't benefited the vampire race at all."

Chriselle listed out all the horrible things he did. It horrifies me that all the things he did is scary.

"Tougo," My mother said, "What do have to say for this?"

"I have nothing to say, but," Tougo paused, "This."

He grabs a guard's sword and ran to Subaru.

"Subaru." I ran in front of him to protect him.

Tougo stab his sword and I was wounded. The last thing I saw was Subaru yelling at me to come back to him.

**** Third person pov. ****

Subaru hold Aurora tightly while fighting back his tears. He handed Aurora to Lily and he felt a powerful wave. The wave made him weak, but Subaru tried to maintain his balance. He took his sword and fight against Tougo. As he fights against his own father, he became weaker. But, why? He didn't receive at wounds around his body. Soon Subaru gave up and he fainted. As Subaru fainted, Tougo took the chance to give Subaru a slash in the arm. Blackjack ran to Tougo and bite his leg hard. A bunch of guards hold Tougo down as King William gives him his punishment.

"Tougo." King William shouted "We have thought about releasing you from the death punishment, but now you wounded my daughter. You will receive the death punishment."

"Father, I will make sure he received the punishment." Aiden said.

"Good." King William nodded.

"Guards!" Aiden shouted, "Bring him down to the dungeons."

The rest of the Sakamaki brothers hold Subaru as Lily checked his pulse. Lily shook her head and closed her eyes. She opened them again and let out tears trickling down her face.

"They are bonded together." Lily said, "If one of them dies, the other one will die."

"No!" Queen Bernice cried as she clutched King William, "William, I don't want this to happen."

"Lily, is there any solution for this?" Rowan looked at Lily, "Is there any?"

"There is none." Lily replied, "I remember when I asked Aurora about this and she said there is none."

"I thought immortals can't die." Kanato said.

"But, they can fade." Lily whispered.

"The best thing we can do is to wait." King William said.

So, I am still debating if I want them dead or not. Please tell me your opinion if you want them dead or not. Also, please review. Thank-you!
