My head is spinning. I'm feeling a sharp pain in my left shoulder. I didn't want to open my eyes, but I had to. My blue eyes slowly began opening to see the sunlight. At first all this brightness irritated my eyes, but I got used to it once I opened my eyes fully.

I tried to sit up, but the pain in my shoulder made me lay back down. Fuck, I cursed in my mind and squeezed my eyes out of pain. It been awhile, since I got shot. I forgot how painful it can actually be.

"Glad to see you're okay", my eyes turn to my left only to see the Queen sitting on a small chair next to my bed. She was holding a cup of tea in her hand and gave me a smile.

"Why am I not surprised, that you're the only one here, my Queen", I tried to say up once again, but my body didn't want to obey me.

"Who did you expect? You got shot and my granddaughter was there, do you really think her father would allow her to be near you until he finds out what happened?", she asked me with a note of sarcasm in her voice.

"Then why are you here? It might be dangerous for you, my Queen".

"I've seen worse. One young man got shot, so what? I can shoot too".

"My apologies, my Queen, I forgot that you are a literal badass", I chuckled.

"I'm trying my best to stay alive", she chuckled too, then she got closer to me, "so...tell me who shot you. Why was this boy here?".

"Why are you asking me, if you already know what happened?", I stare into her calm face, she just stood there with a smile. I didn't know, if I should be calm too, or scared.

"I want to hear it from you".

I took a moment to think about it. I would never betray my friend and I would never give their heads to the executioner, but why do I feel like I can trust her right now? And why do I feel so betrayed by Suguru now?

"A mate of mine", I began saying, "we grew up together and we were in the same division, he also ran away from the army".

"Then why was he here?", the Queen asked.

"To take me with him, so we can run away".

The Queen stood there listening to me closely, then she turned her attention to the window and the bright sunlight coming from it. For a moment she was silent. And that made me anxious. Why wasn't she saying anything?

"Why didn't you left with him?", she finally asked and once again looks at me.

"I was going to, but then...", I stopped there.

"Then my granddaughter got on your way", she finished my sentence for me.

"Yes", I nodded.

"Correct me, if I'm wrong, but let's see, if I understood you right. So, you we're going to leave, but then a girl, that you claim you don't love, showed up and almost got shot. But you took a bullet for her, because you don't love her and you wanted to leave?", she smiled, "is there anything I misunderstood?".

"I know what you're doing, granny. It won't work on me", I smiled.

"I am not trying anything on you, I just want to see how long you're going to keep this thing up and how long are you going to denying it?".

"Denying what exactly? I do not love her!".

"THEN WHY DID YOU TOOK THAT BULLET?".

"I DIDN'T WANT HER TO DIE!".

"WHY? Why do you care so much for someone, who is your enemy? Why did you help her with the sparing? Why did you go to that ball against your will? Why did you got mad over that bozo, who was dancing with her? And why didn't you ran away and didn't let your friend shoot her in the damn head?".

"Cause....", I stopped there and I really took a moment to think about it. I had no good explanation on why I did all of this.

"See? You love her! And she loves you. But the difference between you and her is that she's not denying it", granny continued to scold me, "she actually admits her feelings for you, because she is more mature than you! You are just a stupid little boy, who doesn't know how to face the difficulties in life! This is also the reason why you left the army! You are SCARED! And it's okey to be".

"Wait...y/n told you she loves me?".

"Plenty of times already", the Queen rolled her eyes and let out a sigh, "but you keep showing her that there's no reason for her to keep fighting. You keep pushing her away".

"I don't want to push her away...".

"THEN TAKE ACTION! Geez, the reader is tired already of this constant 'I love her/I don't love her' situation".

"I want to talk to her...".

"Then find a way and talk. She's kept in her room with guards keeping her inside", she explained to me, "I don't give a damn what you'll do to reach her, but you better find her tonight, because tomorrow she's leaving".

"Leaving? Leaving where?".

"To meet her future husband".

A WHAT?
