———————————————

Goddammit! Where are you?

“King Tobio! It’s dangerous, you must stay in the throne room!”

Tobio ignores the distressed calls from his knights as he races through the halls of his castle. He lets out a scoff under his breath and grits his teeth. She was out there fighting for the kingdom and they expected him to just sit there?

The moment there was an announcement of enemy forces being seen, [Name] rushed straight out of his sight. Tobio was well about to chase her down when he was caught up in an array of commotion that swept him to safety. He would have no problems staying in the room until his troops successfully dealt with the enemies but with [Name] fighting out on the front line sent pains through his chest. He would not be able to rest easy until she was safely in his arms.

She had been a close friend of the King since the duo grew up together and trained alongside one another. [Name] was strong, there was no doubting that but even if it was a knight’s duty to protect their king, Tobio just couldn’t let [Name] to get in harm’s way. Especially not for his sake. She was much too important to him to lose.

As the uproar from the outside increased in volume, Tobio silently prayed that [Name] was uninjured. The thought of her getting killed or captured was unbearable.

His grip on his sword tightens and the only thing he can think of is ‘don’t die you stupid girl’. Ignoring the shocked looks from the knights guarding the entrance, he bursts through the doors and out onto the bridge. His eyes desperately searched for the girl who so tightly held his heart in her hands.

“Tobio!”

Amidst his frantic search for the female knight, he hadn’t realise how vulnerable he was at that moment. His reflexes weren’t fast enough to dodge the attack and the foe’s sword sliced his right shoulder.

Tobio stumbles back in pain, holding his right shoulder and braces for the next attack. It was then, a force from his left pushes him away. He looks up in time to see [Name] striking the final hit towards her opponent.

She glares at the King but holds her hand out to pull him up, “What the hell are you doing out here, Tobio! You’re supposed to be inside, you know, where you’re safe!”

Hurriedly, she attempts to drag him away from the mayhem but he refuses to budge.

“I should be saying that to you, idiot! You shouldn’t be out here and I’ve made it clear many times if something happened!”

“And why shouldn’t I be out here, huh? I’m a freaking knight Tobio, I’ve been trained for these moments,” [Name] retorts. She waves at a group of knights in attempt to gain their attention and successfully manages to do so when they see that the King himself was standing in the middle of a battle.

“Please get him back to safety,” [Name] tells one of the knights and rushes back into action. Tobio’s hand shoots out to grab her arm and prevents her from doing so.

“Come back with me or I won’t leave,” He threatens, his iron grip on her arm refuses to loosen until she does just that. [Name] shakes her head in disbelief and Tobio can feel the anger within him slowly rising at her refusal, “What if you get hurt?!”

“I’m not a goddamn damsel in distress, Tobio! I’m a knight,” She screams before looking at him with tired eyes, “Please, Tobio. Just go back into the castle. The world will still revolve without me but without you, it’ll be chaos”

[Name] manages to escape his grasp as it loosened at the shock of her words for a split second. “Wha- Hey! [Name], come back!” Tobio shouts but the knights hold him back.

“I’m sorry, my King, but this is for your own benefit. It is simply much too dangerous for you,” One of the knights apologise though Tobio couldn’t care less about their manhandling. They beg him to stop and to return to safety but he’s relentless. He wouldn’t return until [Name] is with him.

“If you want me to go back then retrieve [Name]. I will not set foot back in the castle until I see that [Name] is safe from harm’s way,” Tobio orders.

They freeze for a moment in uncertainty and Tobio seizes the chance to give them the slip. Once again, he’s searching for her frantically, killing any opponent that dared cross his path.

“King Tobio! I found her! [Name]’s here!”

Tobio immediately runs towards the direction soldier waving him down, with a couple knights chasing after him. His stomach clenches once he arrives at scene. Her blood was mixed in with the earth’s soil and she let out a painful groan. He immediately drops to his knees and pulls her body into his arms.

How he wished it was all a nightmare and when he’d wake up, [Name] would be cheerfully waking him up from his slumber. However, this was not the case. He presses one hand onto her wound in attempts to stop the blood from leaking out, apologising for the pain.

“Tobio,” She breathed out, “I thought I told you to go back to the castle”

“Go get one of the healers! Now!” He screams at no one in particular before looking down at the disorientated girl, “You’re so stupid. I told you to come back with me to the castle. Why didn’t you listen to me, goddammit?”

[Name] gives him a smile, “Sorry to disobey your orders my King but I love you”

His heart thumps at the words he yearned to hear for so long but this scenario definitely did not pan out like the one he had fantasised about. Her hand shakily reaches up to stroke his cheek, the smile never leaving her lips.

“Even if I weren’t a knight, I’d still risk my life to protect you, Tobio,” She admits, “You’ve a whole kingdom to look after. What good is my life compared to yours?”

“You idiot, I don’t want you to die for me,” He glares at the girl in his arms, trying his best to hold back his tears.

“I think it’s a bit too late for that,” [Name] lets out a small chuckle before coughing out more blood, “It’s almost time, Tobio. I can feel it”

“Shut up!” He screams, “You’re going to survive this. You’re going to be okay and you’ll rule the kingdom with me as my queen. So don’t you dare die on me now, that’s an order from your King, do you hear me?!”

“I love you, Tobio”

He couldn’t help but let out a sob as he felt her body going limp.

“I love you too, my Queen”
