[BL] Quick-Transmigration: Only You Can Heal Me

Arc 2 Chapter 16: Memories?

3rd Person POV:

Kendric dreamt...a vague dream.. He could see someones life, but at the same time he couldn't really see everything clearly.. It was weird..and it pulled at his heart. It hurt, but he didn't know why.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was about a boy named Lemuel.
The life of this boy had always been sad.
He was abused, hated, scorned...
He had no friends, no family, nothing.
They all said he was walking misfortune, keeping their distance.
His life was gray.. Devoid of any love.
His parents and siblings had died one after another long ago.
His first few friends had also long starved to death, despite his attempts to help.
Yes, he was a walking misfortune.
Everyone he held dear kept on dying.. It must've been his fault.
He should not feel..
He should not hold dear..
But he kept going, while keeping his distance as well.

But one day, this man showed up.
Slowly, he changed everything.
Now, he saw colors..
His heart, which was long cold and lonely, started beating with warmth.
But he was afraid at first, trying to keep him away.
No, he couldn't hold this man dear.
This man would die, he panicked.
But this man persistently stayed and even started loving him.
His heart could not resist, he accepted this love.

But they were not bound to become happy.
His love was a higher being, someone who was not allowed to love mortals
And the other higher beings did not allow for their love to continue.
So they send someone to kill the boy
They hoped the higher being would then return to their realm

And so the boy died in the arms of his beloved, who arrived a few seconds too late.
He died regretting
He had wanted to stay with him
He had wanted his love to stay happy
His smile should've stayed
But before he took his last breath, the boy saw him crying in agony.
He knew at that moment..
His love would never be happy without him
He regretted while taking his last breath
His last memory being the heartbreaking scream of his beloved

~~~~~~~~~~~~

He yanked his eyes open, covered in tears and sweat. His thoughts were chaotic and his heart felt like someone's stomping on it again and again. 'What.. What was that.. Why does it hurt so much? Why was that dream so vague but so familiar?', he thought while trying to calm down.

He got a bit calmer while his thoughts turned more chaotic. 'It's the second time I had this kind of dream.. But this time, it was worse.. I felt like suffocating.. Everything was so real. Was it my past life? Or.. Maybe even my first one? Then this 'love'.. Is it my husband? Or someone else..?'

He thought while being confused and hurt at the same time, not hearing Hernan entering the room and calling out to him. 'What if he's not.. But would I have fallen in love with him if he wasn't?'

He snapped out of his thoughts when he felt himself being pulled into a strong embrace. His thoughts immediately calmed down by a lot. He looked up and was greeted by alluring red eyes filled with worry.

"Is everything alright?", his beloved asked, causing him to smile gently. "Yes, I'm sorry. I had a weird dream, but everything is fine now", he answered. 'Yeah.. If this was really my past life.. Than I'm sure I never would've fallen in love with someone else. I should wait, maybe I'll dream again after a while'

"It was a nightmare right? You seemed to be crying and struggling a lot.", Hernan said while stroking his hair. He's glad that his prince woke up, he'd been so nervous this whole time. He didn't want to lose him.

"Yes.. You could say that.", Kendric smiled sadly before returning to a bright one after a bit. "Good news is, I'm healed. I can feel it, there's no pain anywhere on my body.", he whispered while smiling and hugged his love tight.

Hernan tugged the corners of his lips slightly but gently upward, forming a gentle smile. "That's good..", he said in a gentle whisper while kissing him on the forehead.

They stayed like this for a while before slowly separating from each other. "I have something I wanted to ask you..", Hernan broke the silence they were in first.

"You can ask me anything", answered the prince with a smile and took the hand of his beloved into his at the same time.

"What do you intend to do now? I've actually wondered for a while now..since I doubt you don't know how much they want to get rid of you", he asked seriously.

Kendric sighed. "That I do know, but there's a big problem. Someone like me has no power whatsoever. Originally, I wanted to wait for a few years and then run away with you or something, but... I don't really know right now..", he said while narrowing his eyes.

'Technically speaking, I don't need to either take revenge nor do I need to sit on that throne. Also, I don't need to save anyone except my husband and myself... I would just have to find some things out, and to do that...', he thought and continued speaking afterward. "I guess I should find the other half of my family...", he mumbled.

It wasn't that loud, but Hernan could hear it, since they sat so close together. "But how do we do that?", he immediately retorted worried.

Kendric looked at him with a mischievous smirk on his face. "That's easy... I'll make my appearance even worse this time and let others see while we go to the next town. Then we'll spread rumors that the third prince's condition worsened drastically. We need to let others keep track to which inn we're going. They probably weren't able to contact me within palace walls and to remain cautious, they would probably only contact me if it's an emergency and only outside of the palace walls.. So..we have to conduct these things ourselves."

Hernan ruffled his hair with a smile. "That's a good idea.", he said before stopping and turning serious, as he just at that moment thought of something. "But what of the Emperor? He probably knows that they would visit you.. In that case, why did he let you go?"

"There's two options.. Maybe three.", he answered and stopped smirking, turning serious. "First, he never meant to keep me locked up, but had no choice, so he's using this opportunity for my other family to pick me up. Second, he hopes that I die before they manage to find me, since that would've probably happened without the medicine. And lastly...he has a trap prepared and is just waiting for us to step into it, though that would be highly unlikely. To do that, he needed to know that I'm not really as sick as the doctors said. That is of course still an option nevertheless...", he mumbled while thinking.

"Then.. Should we stay safe and not do this?", he heard his beloved ask him, to which he now smiled again while shaking his head.

"No, whatever they prepared, it was with the knowledge that I'm extremely sick and weak, dragging everyone down. True, my body might still be a bit weak, but I can take care of myself should the need arise. I might even be able to fight a bit, which should lead to their failure.", he answered.

"I understand. I will prepare everything to depart tomorrow.", he now said while standing up, not questioning his statement. "For today, you should still rest a bit. I will also get everything I can ready for the plan", he continued and gave his beloved a short but gentle Kiss. "Rest well, my love", he whispered.

Kendric chuckled a bit and lay back down. "Yes.. Thank you for everything"
