by ButterflyMiko

Allen is the Prince of Misthaven, and his father Mana has just died despite his efforts to save him. Suddenly Sennen is there to become his new father, at the bequest of his brother Neah. No matter what Sennen just wants to find his happiness, but Allen's betrayal ruins it, starting a rift between the two that begins a Holy War.

10. Destroyer That Saves

After finally managing to beat Lenalee in combat, Allen sat beside her on the palace's back steps.

"So what is that arm anyway?" Lenalee asked.

"I have the powers of an exorcist." Allen said. "The mysterious monsters that have been appearing; I can destroy them...but I don't want to be a destroyer."

"I don't think you're that kind of person." Lenalee said, taking his big claw in her hand. "You're a savior. You could save people with that power, from the monsters."

"I'd like that. To be a destroyer that saves..."

"You can be." Lenalee's hand lingered on his, and his innocence deactivated.

She got up and headed back to work, and as the young prince watched, he decided the life he wanted to protect was hers.
