My Highness (Zane x Travis) Part Four

This is probably going to make some people sad. So just a warning to everyone that reading.

Zane's Pov:

It's been almost a month, since I've been in this cell. I still haven't get a chance to see Travis... I wondering what is going on. Even if I pass on to the afterlife. I just hope Travis is happy. Only a few more days until my death. I'm not ready, but I know I need to. I sighed sadly. I just hope to see Travis' face one last time, before I die. I still remember the times we had. I remember him happy and having fun. He told me that he never had a normal childhood. Travis could never go outside to play. He never had chance to make other friends. He just did Prince duties. Travis told me he was never happy here. I don't blame him. I laid my back against the wall. I yawned and thought about Travis. Travis got to do things in the tower then his own home. I wish I could do more for him, before all this happened. I closed my eyes to sleep.

Few days passed. This day... The day I die. I follow the guard in chains to the village. All I saw is people wanting me to suffer. I look at the rope. I now know what I'm dying from. I step on the box. They put the rope on my neck. I took a deep breath. I listen to Travis' father and Katelyn give a speech on what I have done to Prince Travis. "Zane, do you have any words?" The King asked. "The only thing I have is... I wish I can make Travis happy one last time. At least he was free and happy out the tower. You seem to not understand that. I thought a father knows what their son is feeling." I looked at him. "How do you know?" Katelyn asked. "He told me. You can ask him when I die. Travis was miserable as the Prince of this land. Do you realized he never had any sort of fun? He had so much time to learn to be a proper Prince, but no. You ruined something he never get back. A childhood. That's all I have to say. Just remember that." I turn my head to the crowd that went quiet. The King told the guards to do it. I took a breath and wait. He was about to kick the box, until an arrow hit the guards leg. Everyone looked to see who did that. It was a man in a green cloak. He shot another arrow at the rope. It cut right through. On of the Hunter shot an arrow at the man chest. His hood fell showing Travis was the man in the green cloak. Everyone gasp in shock. Travis fell to the ground. I watch his hand shake as he grabs the arrow in his chest. "Travis!" I yelled. I jump off the box and rushed to Travis. I kneeled down. I put my cuffed hands on his cheek. "Travis! You okay!" I called out to him. "Zane... Your okay... I'm glad..." Travis makes a weak smile. I saw Travis eyes slowly close. "Travis don't leave! Not now!" I yelled. Travis stopped moving... I slowly laid Travis down. Tears roll down my face. "He's gone..." I whispered. Did Travis planned to die while saving me. I lay my head on his stomach and sob. I wish I never took him to that damn tower or try to know him. He would of been alive.

The next day passed. The Kingdom was in darkness now. The Prince was dead. Everyone loved Travis. He was a sweet kid. Travis, is going to be buried tomorrow. Travis' father allowed me to go to his funeral. He even apologized about everything. I forgave him, since Travis would still love his father. I care for Travis... "Zane, can you go to Travis' room to get stuff bear. His mother got it for him before she passed. I want to buried him with it." The King said. I agreed.

I made my Travis' room. Opening his room to see his clean room. I found the bear on his desk with an note on his desk. I pick up the note and it reads. "Hey dad, it's me Travis. You probably won't forgive me what I'm going to do. I'm freeing Zane Ro'meave. He made me feel happy and free. After I save him and escape with him. I won't come back. I love you... I do... But I don't agree what you are doing... What would mother say? She would tell you to let the baby bird fly, right? I've been so unhappy and least free in this Kingdom then anything. I want happiest and freedom. Zane made me feel those. Happiness... He made me smile, he tried making me happy. Even when I was missing home. Freedom... He let me fly, he gave me freedom. I actually went outside. Have my feet in the water and grass. Watch the clouds go by. I never felt so free. I was tired of the Prince duties. So this is my goal... If I die during this mission... Don't blame, Zane. Please free him... I love you dad... Tell Zane I love him too..." Signed Travis Valkrum. My heart snapped. He was hoping to escape with me, but the plan failed. It cost him his life. I need to show this to the King. I grab the bear and took the note.

Rushing to the King. "Sir... You need to see this..." I handed him the note. I scanned it. He started to cry. "This is my fault... He right... I should of let him fly." The King cried. I hugged him and he hugged me back. I wish it wasn't Travis. At least he has one thing in the afterlife... Freedom...

Thank you for reading. This was a little shorter then normal, but yep! Now if you don't get were Happiness and Freedom is from. I got that from an Anime called Banana Fish. Ash Lynx wasn't free, but till his death he got the one thing he wanted Freedom. He got Happiness with Eiji Okumura. So, yes I put in a little Easter Egg for y'all. The next My Highness be the last one. This took 1065 words.
