The Apathetic Prince

CH 8

It was night,

a beautiful one 

but he couldn't enjoy it. 

His past self was staring at him when he faced the mirror.

Questioning him why did he leave without a word to his partner.

He dares to say his partner was the only family he had, which was true his life wasn't the best  his companion was his only reason to live but he never admitted it.

Always using the excuse that he only lived to please his boss,

truly a coward.

"Heart! We will forget him!

You and I- Tonight!

You may forget the warmth he gave-

I will forget the light!

When you have done, pray tell me

That I may straight begin!

Haste! lest while you're lagging

I remember him!"

Heaven knows how many times he tried to forget him and how many times he failed.

Meanwhile

While the prince was reminiscing about his past, there was a man from another world mourning the loss of his partner.

'It's been twelve years still I can't seem to get over you... I wonder if you'll forgive me for murdering our boss my motive was only to take revenge for you... Partner .

Two souls, each others family separated by fate, mourning for their loss while keeping their cold facades,

because they know how cruel the world is, to the point of masking their emotions for the sake of protection.

Lost in thought the man didn't realise another person entering his room.

"what makes you think about him so much that you didn't even notice my presence?"

" I've seen his Dying Eye

Run round and round a Room-

In search of Something- as it seemed-

Then Cloudier become-

And then- obscure with Fog-

And then- be soldered down

Without disclosing what it be

'twere blessed to have seen-"

he knew the person couldn't understand his train of thoughts regardless of that he spoke his mind as no one could comprehend his pain 

except him.
