INNOCENT LOVE(BL)

Chapter 14. RUN AWAY WITH ME!

" How can I feel good by torturing you? You being in pain means me being in pain , so what's the need?" Arthur turn around looking at Madin whose eye lids are half open.

"You.. you've woken up.. " he finds himself lifting Madin's upper body hugging him tightly.

"Am sorry!" He whispers almost in tears.

°°°
"What is going on here?!"
Arthur stand up immediately after hearing the king's angry voice .

" This is unbelievable! , Am not going to entertain this anymore !" He take the sword and go to Madin .

" Father noo.. stop!! " Arthur says desperately.

" I should stop?? I gave you the chance and time to do what you promised but it seems you can't handle the task , so I'll do it myself! "

He signal the guards . " Take him away and lock him in his room !" When eight strong guards come to take him away , all anger pours to them .

He hit them badly that no one of them could stand. But others come to hold him away .

" Father please , am begging you, don't kill him  " he shout at his father.

" What has gotten into you ? Even after knowing that he is a man you still insisting on him?? What now , do you still want to marry him? Since when have you ever seen a man marrying his fellow man ?! You really have gone crazy , haven't you?! I should find you another doctor ! Take him away!"

Even when he's being dragged by over ten men away , he still beg desperately " Father please don't do it.. am begging you.. if you ever considered me as your son please don't do it !"

" He is a man! Can't you see that ?! Stop talking non sense!" the queen who has just come in scold.

" So what mother ?! He is a man so what?? I just realised that I didn't love him because he looked like a girl nor that I love him now because he look like a boy ! I just love him ! Not the gender and not anything else , just him without a reason! "

Princess Loretta and the younger prince rush in too . " Father So what if he loves a man ? As long as he is happy with him!" They help.

" Everyone in this palace has gone crazy ! " the king thunder. "Take him to the dungeon! Let him reflect on his decisions and let him come back to his senses! I refuse to believe that this is my precious son , there must be something behind it "

" Father.. " Arthur calls but the king cut him.

" I am not killing him ! Go,,come back to your senses and you'll find yourself doing it!"

" You can't take our son in the dungeon!! " the queen complain.

" I won't change my mind , I've decided, let him go,, come back to his senses !" He command the guards and  storm out of the dungeon.

The queen follows and the younger  prince and princess .

Madin raise his head for the first time after a long time!   " Was I cursed or something?! What plans exactly do the heavens have for me . It should have let me die..
But how can I be cursed when the prince love me this much.. just how much do you love me Arthur?! Even after you know am a man and to make it worse I fooled you , you still fighting for me..  Then I promise that I won't let you down anymore, I'll fight for our love too , I won't leave it for you alone anymore.. "

°°°
The next day at night in Prince Arthur's dungeon. He hasn't eaten any food he was brought to nor talked to anyone who came to talk to him.

" I need to see him , can you please help me ?" He tells the guard , hoping that he will let him see Madin , he has been worried about him because he doesn't know if he is completely healed .

"But your highness, the king... " the guard complain but he is cut .

" He won't know if you don't tell anyone.  I really need to see him , just for a moment, I need to check if he's okay . I am your prince , ain't you going to help me when am in need?"

" uh.. I am , your highness "

" Okay then , let me see him . "

The guard agrees hesitantly, he know that he will get in a big trouble when he's cought by the king , but somehow he's assured that the prince will not allow him to be punished . They know how good he is , only not when he's angry .

The guard leaves for a moment and come back with another uniforms of the guards , he gives them to the prince and ask him to put on so that he doesn't attract attention out there .

When he finishes they head to where Madin is and fortunately the guard who was assigned to guard his dungeon he's loudly snoring .

They enter the dungeon finding Madin sitting on the same rock in the darkness. The guard lights the firewood which brightens inside .

Arthur goes to him not sure what to do or say to him . Seeing Madin in this state really make him hurt so much . He seem to have been crying all along because of how he appears.

Arthur has been thinking through everything during the day , he came to conclusion that Madin must have been forced to do what he did and his intention wasn't to fool him because he is so innocent to do something so dangerous.

He has been thinking about his feelings too and decided not to suppress them anymore  because even if he thinks it's wrong to have those kind of feelings , he still want to have them because they make him feel good even when he's been hurting lately and he knows the reason he has been hurting is because he had to stay away from Madin  , he misses the feeling when he could hug Madin , he misses the feeling when he kissed him and thinking about it , makes him want to do it again.

Arthur wishes that he was free to be with Madin so that he take care of him and give him the love he seem to have never had in his entire life .

Suddenly, an idea pop up in his mind and he doesn't think about it nor the consequences. " Andrew , can you get me another uniform ? A guard's uniform? " he whispers to his guard .

" But your highness... "

" Please , I know am getting you into trouble but trust me you will be the last person my father thinks about when he realizes we're missing, help me , please . "

The guard had no choice but to help his desperate prince no matter the consequences, after all they sign to die for the royal family.

All this time Madin has been quiet  wondering what is happening.

" Madin are you okay? How do you feel ? " Arthur asks after the guard leaves .
" What are you doing?" Madin ignores his question, asking him another question.

" Let's leave this place , it's not safe for you , my father could wake up anytime and decide to do what he has been meaning to do . " he says.

" But.. "

" Shhshs there's no buts , come with m... "
The guard come back in with the uniform and without any more questions Madin put them on and they set off to the gate successfully, no one doubting them . The guards at the gate usually knows that there must be a patrol around the palace outside at this time of the night so they late them pass without questions thinking that they are just the guards going to patrol .

And that's how they left the palace ..
