"Ajax," Albedo muttered as tears formed in his eyes, Childe looked at him and formed a small sincere smile. He looked away and spoke, "Kaeya, you should be going now. The guards have come back." Childe then left without saying anything else. Kaeya got up, Albedo getting up after.
"Please stand still." Kaeya said as he got handcuffs out of his pocket, Albedo nodded teary eyed. "I'm sorry I have to do this, but it's the law. I can't change it even if I am the king of this wretched place." Kaeya looked at Albedo with sorrow in his eyes, he tried to hide it by his serious expression.
He took Albedo with him to meet up with the guards.
---------------------------
All the guards stopped talking when they saw Kaeya enter the room, "Sir!" They all bowed to him. "I presume you know about the execution." Kaeya said, they all said: "Yes sir.".
"Please take Albedo down to the execution room and get him all set up, I'll be down in a minute." Kaeya gave Albedo the crowd of guards.
When all the guards have gone with Albedo, Kaeya sighed.
"Hey you," Angel came in, looking dirty. Probably from all the fighting. "I thought you'd be dead.: Kaeya laughed a little, "Did you now? I find that offensive." She joked. "Are you really going to kill him?" She put a hand on Kaeya's shoulder.
"Yes." He replied, "You don't have to, you can let one of your guards do it." She tilted her head to look at Kaeya. "It'll mean more if I kill him." Kaeya looked away. "Didn't you say you used to know him?" She recalled, "Yes, and that's why I want to kill him myself," Kaeya took a deep breath.
"I'm sure they're done setting up." Kaeya became walking away, "Oh, alright." Angel sighed when Kaeya was out of sight.
-----------------------------------
"Here you go, Kaeya." A guard handed Kaeya a gun. "Thank you," He nodded at him. Albedo wasn't struggling at all. Like he accepted that this was his fate. Kaeya looked behind Albedo, there was Childe. "Everyone leave, except you Childe." Kaeya said, all the guards groaned, but left. "You're gonna watch him die?" Kaeya asked as he loaded the gun.
"Yes, I love him. If I can't save him, I'll watch him die." Childe walked in front of Albedo and bent down to face him. Albedo stared at him, more memories flooding in. "Ajax." Albedo mumbled.
"I'm sorry I can't save you from this, like I did everything else." Childe's comforting voice made Kaeya re-think about a few things. "You didn't save me from the person that I became." Albedo teethed.
"I'm sorry, that's all I can say. But it won't matter anymore after this." Childe formed a soft smile. Albedo took a deep, shaky, breath in and out before speaking. "Please, make sure Klee's okay. Don't tell her what happened to me. Not until she's older at least.", "And make sure she doesn't end up like me, promise?" Albedo smiled back, "I promise." Childe stood up and stood to the side.
Kaeya pointed his gun at Albedos head, "Albedo, please forgive me. May we meet in another life." Kaeya put his finger on the trigger.
Albedo thought it was foolish to give him false hope to meet him in another life.
"I'm sorry." He said quietly. Albedo was looking straight at the gun and his heart was racing.
