Eclipse (Connected As One) AkashixOC

Chapter 26

"Then, I'll go get Takao, ah but I'll change to different person, since I still can't show myself to the others." Akashi told Aya and Midorima, as Akashi just finished preparing himself

"Aren't you going to tell Prince Lariaki?" Midorima asked then handed a letter to him "give that to Takao since he won't go with you after all if you show up as a different person. Also the list of what you need to get"

Akashi got the letter then sighed "just tell Prince Lariaki instead. I am sure that Prince Elloris is still having a mental breakdown there."

"Then go now, so that you can return fast and can rest. Since we need to talk about the plan of going to Munerum kingdom"

"Eh? You are going there?" Midorima asked Aya and she nodded "why?"

"I'll fill you up with the information later." Akashi answered then changed into Ren "then, I'll leave now."

As Akashi left, the two jolted as they heard a loud bang from below, and not long after it followed by Prince Lariaki's voice. Ren and Klaus also woke up because of the commotion.

They all went to the first floor and Prince Lariaki was holding Prince Elloris' wrist, stopping him from leaving

"And where do you think you are going?!"

"Nii-sama! Please, I can't hold my anger! We need to stop them!"

"As I said, how are you going to do that?! Go out there and be a madman fighting?! Against them?!"

"Then what do you want me to do!? Stay here and do nothing?!"

"I want you to stay calm and listen to me first!"

"Prince Lariaki" Aya called him and worriedly looked at them "won't the guards outside can hear you?"

"Don't worry, they can't hear anything inside" Prince Lariaki sighed and still holding Elloris' wrist "where's Seijurou-kun?"

"He already left to get Takao. I also asked him for some stuffs so we can at least slowly remove the poison in Aoki-hime's body" Midorima answered

"Slowly?!" Elloris angrily retorted

"Then what do you expect me to do? Be irrational with my actions? It's Aoki-hime's life, and thus we must stay calm and careful with our actions. Do you expect it to be done in a snap of fingers?" Midorima seriously looked at him, then pushed his eyeglass "did you do the same thing when you agreed to give her to your enemies? Then, go! Go and fight them without concrete plan and allies! Go and fight them, then don't blame us if your whole kingdom is burning into ashes-nanodayo!"

"Midorima, calm down" Aya stopped him, but Elloris retorted

"And how can we trust you?! That you won't do the same thing to my sister?!"

"At the very least, even if our kingdom has been fall from the enemies hands, we are here busy looking after your sister, who was tormended by the allies you trusted." Midorima smirked and crossed his arms "With all your respect, Prince Elloris, if you want to die, die on your own, don't include the citizens of your own country."

"You dare talk to me-"

"Elloris, stop. I trust them more than the people you trusted. You trusted them, that's why Aoki is in this state." Prince Lariaki sighed then freed Elloris "Don't ruin anything, calm down, and be rational!" Prince Lariaki's voiced was very intimidating that even Aya and the others felt scared

"But nii-sama, they don't know the feeling of being betrayed like this." Elloris gripped his hands but Aya shrugged as she shook her head

"Prince, you are not the only one experiencing it. Ren-san and Klaus-san were also betrayed, their kingdom are being bait, and these were about to be eaten by Irkas. They also knew that their comrades were being eaten already. And if you meant about a royal family, there's one I know who shares the burden. His kingdom was fallen in the hands of the enemies, his father is being held, his citizens are hiding, thriving to live, he knew all, but stay calm since at the moment he couldn't do anything."
