You've been my only friend... in all those hundred deaths...
Everytime I'd come back time, I would open my eyes in the Royal Palace and live everything all over again, keeping the memories... every...time.
You would always present yourself, you would kneel before me and gift me a kind smile "It's an honor to kneel before you, Your Highness, I am Jing Yuan, general of the Royal Guard, I will do my best to protect the Empire's future Emperor"
The first time I was scared. You'd look so majestic like one of the greatest soldiers. Your look was, but you expression and your voice. I felt kindness and so much respect towards everything around me.
Again.
"It's an honor to kneel before you, Your Highness, I am Jing Yuan, general of the Royal Guard, I will do my best to protect the Empire's future Emperor"
My eyes would look at you with nostalgia as I was the only one who did remember you already from all the other lives.
Again.
"It's an honor to kneel before you, Your Highness, I am Jing Yuan, general of the Royal Guard, I will do my best to protect the Empire's future Emperor"
But you wouldn't.... remember me. It did hurt.
Again.
"It's an honor to kneel before you, Your Highness, I am Jing Yuan, general of the Royal Guard, I will do my best to protect the Empire's future Emperor"
My eyes would slowly lose hope to be friend with you the more I was dying and coming back. There was no way you'd stay the same or respect me in all the timelines.
Again.
"It's an honor to kneel before you, Your Highness, I am Jing Yuan, general of the Royal Guard, I will do my best to protect the Empire's future Emperor"
I would sometimes just smile and leave the room, telling myself it was useless.
But you would always be present and help me out... No matter what.
Every.... Everytime.
Again.
"It's an honor to kneel before you, Your Highness, I am Jing Yuan, general of the Royal Guard, I will do my best to protect the Empire's future Emperor"
It would hurt me to start all over again. I thought I couldn't really get you back to how we were in previous lives but... Surprisingly you would always become my ally and help me till you could.
You always helped me with my brother poisoning me.
You'd always check on me and sometimes even speak to me.
You'd always kill the doctor and lie to me telling me he got told he was a traitor.
I remember after so many times I died and got back, maybe it was the only change I wanted to make in my destiny.
When you presented yourself for yet another time, you would get surprised at me smiling at you. Gifting maybe one of my very few warm smiles.
Again.
"It's an honor to kneel before you, Your Highness, I am Jing Yuan, general of the Royal Guard, I will do my best to prot..."
"Please, you may call me Dan Heng"
You'd get surprised and shook your head "I would never dare to call you by your name, your Highness"
"Please, do... Your eyes give me a comfort very few in the palace do. I am allowing you to do so."
