"Canton"

Canton remained frozen.

"Baby.." Tristian approached him warily.

No reaction.

"Are you okay.."

Canton fell to his knees, his gaze empty, his body numb.

Tristian blinked and copied Canton's position on his knees.

He was now on the same level as him.

He looked at Canton. "I don't...know how to comfo- what do you want me to do?"

Canton wasn't looking at Tristian.

He started trembling.

"Cant..." Tristian started. "You'll be okay. Where's.. where's Elvina?" He was at a loss for words.

Canton slowly landed his eyes at Tristian, his breathing becoming a bit audible now.

He opened his mouth so he could breathe better, a few drops of cold sweat trailing down his forehead.

"You'll...-"

Tristian was talking but Canton wasn't listening.

His vision became blurry and his eyes started closing on their own accord.

He felt light headed.

He felt lost.

His system collapsed on him once again.

But someone can only break that much until there's nothing inside of them left to break anymore.

ERROT

After I ignored this little handshake from hell, Canton got up from the couch straight away and went to stand right in front of me.

He glared at him. "What the hell are you doing here, Tristian?"

Tristian examined Canton's position and the hand that he placed on me as if to protect me and then fixed his gaze on Canton's face again, his own neutral. "What? Don't I have the right to visit my fiancé?"

I frowned.

Canton scoffed. "I'm not your fiancé, I'm your king and I'm ordering you to get the hell out of my castle" he said coldly.

"But we never really broke up. I'm still the guy you ought to marry".

"Yeah, well. We're breaking up now." He pointed at the door. "Out."

Tristian pursed his lips into a thin line but didn't make any effort to move. "See, here's the problem." He started. "I can't leave."

"Why not?" I said, my eyebrows furrowed in anger.

Tristian turned to look at me as if he didn't expect me to talk and hated it as well. He threw me a glare and then redirected his attention to Canton. "Can I talk to you without the presence of this.. nuisance?"

I glared back at him.

"His name is Errot and you have absolutely no right to suddenly appear out of the blue and insult him."

A small satisfied smile threatened to appear on my face but I managed to hold it back.

Canton looked like he didn't know how to act towards him. He doesn't know if he should be confused, angry or even scared and it's showing on his face.
