"How far should a person go in the name of true love?"
________________________________________________________________
𝕱rom the dawn of my childhood, I have never known a true father. There was no one to teach me how to love. Early as I can remember, I was passed over; first to my uncle, and then to my studies. My uncle, by the goodness of his soul, instilled in me a love of knowledge. He worked; fine homes do not pay for themselves. He had never asked for a child of his own. His work as advisor of the Citadel was a possessive mistress. She had no room in her heart for a war-abandoned child. My uncle fought for my safekeeping. My uncle made a place for me. In return, I was grateful— but I was not loved. Every day I saw love all around me but, it would not permeate me. Look, but don't touch: it was a rule wrought into the very bones of the Citadel. I was about six years old when I took my first breath; I met Prince Noct then. The boy was small, sweet, innocent, and soft. Those demanding eyes: how they made my very core ache! Look, don't touch... The rule fell away when by the King our hands were joined. It only took an instant— one touch for the former boy Scientia to grasp the breadth of his present self. Grasping in return was not just the boy I had sworn to protect; that day I laid hold of my heart. In my hand was the pinnacle of love, my raison d'être. Without him, I would perish. It was with ease I replied to King Regis. My guidance and care needed no supplication; my love had been given the moment I found my heart, my prince.
Loyalty means nothing unless, at its heart, it has the absolute principle of self-sacrifice.
𝕴 grew with my heart, and he with me. He led me through the pastures of delight and from the springs of his happiness I was sustained. When he was elated, so too was I. When he was sad, my life was agony. I know my vow is not of a natural volition; but I will bear that judgement when the day comes. I will follow my heart beyond the arms of death and into the inferno. My King spoke our bond into reality; my prince is the only joy I shall ever know. I have no need for two hearts. This is my lot. This is my joy. Whenever I can make him smile... Whenever I make him cry... Whenever he feels... We are one. I understood terror of the first time when I learned my prince would ascend the Final Throne. As the son of kings, this meant only one thing: my heart would die. If the shackles of the magical barrier did not drink up his life, the calling of the ring would destroy him with all the generations before him. To hell with this peace. Cursed is the power of kings. To hell with the light. I will blaspheme the name of any who would rend my heart from his rightful place. I won't let anyone take him from me. If I must suffer because of it— if I must pay the blood price, it is my greatest and most profound delight. Oh, my heart! Should you ever wander down a dark path, let me carry you. Even into death, I will not be long after you. You fill me. You make me. Please spare me; my heart is going to burst.
...I don't want to die without him...
