For now we assume that his desire for the throne was what lead him to kill your parents.We had hoped that by kidnapping you, we would be able to get him to confess his crimes to The Overlords, but he didn't.

Chapter 14

Beginning of the End

Hello!

I'm back. I'm going on hiatus until February. My exams are next week so this'll be the last update for January. Also don't you guys find it incredible when a story starts to come to life, especially when the life is your own.

Though I tried to deny it at first, it seems that the guy I hated for always being smarter than me turned out to be the one that I fell in love with.

Isn't love always just so unexpected?

Wish me and my man the best!

For now enjoy~

Misaki walked back and forth as she waited for Takumi to arrive with the letter. King Ren had sent a letter in response to Raven's declaration of war, and the reply had come at last. She whirled around when she heard Takumi creak the door open. He held up the letter in his hand as he leaned against the door. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were red, but to Misaki he looked absolutely stunning as always. He held out his arms and she rushed in. He stroked her hair gently as held her fragile form.. "Have you prepared yourself for this?" He asked. Misaki nodded and took the letter from him.

She inhaled sharply then exhale. Carefully she removed the seal and began to read. She could only gasp when she was done. King Ren has accepted the was proposal. Meaning he didn't deny the crimes. He was guilty for the death of the late king and queen. His own blood and family. Misaki's knees gave up. She would have fallen if Takumi hadn't caught her. He didn't say anything but gently wrapped one arm around her shoulder and slid the other under her knees. He placed her on the bed and sat down next to her. "Sweetheart," he cooed.

Misaki buried her face in his chest and let him rock her back and forth. He hushed her in a loving manner as he held her tightly. She gripped his shirt as she let her mind calm down.

"I don't believe it," Misaki whispered. "I was prepared for it but it still shocks me. He really did kill my parents."

"Did you ever doubt me?" Takumi whispered. She could hear the hurt in his voice.

"Of course not," she replied quickly. She pulled back and kissed him. "I believe everything you say."

Takumi smiled at that. He kissed her head and pushed her back gently on the bed. "I will never give you a reason to doubt me. Even if it costs me my own life."

"Takumi-"

"I promise to protect us both with my own body."

"I don't want you to."

Takumi looked at her incredulously.

"I want to protect you too. We're equals Takumi. Let me walk with you, instead of you clearing a path for me," Misaki explained. He smiled at that and leaned in closer to her. Their lips brushed together.

"I love you," Misaki whispered as he kissed her.

"I love you more," he replied as they became one once more.
