She quickly turns to the source of that sound, only to find Brooks standing on the door way looking at her with wide eyes.

He was looking much better now, more than yesterday or in the morning, but the horror in his eyes makes him look as if he saw ghost. Looking at his this condition hurts her a lot.

"What did you just say?" Brooks asks, still standing there. "Brooks, I was about to te-" Brooks cuts her again. "No, no, what did you just say?" He asks taking deep and hurried breaths.

He had already suffered a lot, when he wasn't able to meet her. And now, on getting to know that he might have to stay away from her again, horrifies him a lot.

"No, no, you can't leave me" Brooks says while shaking his head and shivering. Autumn stands up and walks towards him.

"No, no. Please your majesty, don't leave me. I will do anything. I-I will do everything. But please don't leave me" he says while looking at her.

"Please, I will not be able to survive this time. Ple-Please" He drops on his knees while begging. "Please, don't leave me please" He starts crying again.

She sits down too near him holding him by his shoulders. She hold his cheeks in her palms and moves his head up to look at her. "Brooks listen to me" she says softly trying to calm him. But he was shaking his head again and again, while tears rolling down his cheeks and murmuring sme sentence again and again.

"No, please your majesty. Please, don't leave me. I will not be able to survive this time" Her heart aches hearing this, seeing him crying so badly. She could feel his warm tears on her palms which cause some tears to blur her vision and melt her heart.

"Brooks, listen to me. Please listen to me" Brooks stops his plea and tries to listen to her, stopping himself.

"Brooks, I am not leaving you. I will always be there with you, for you. I will always be there. But try to understand. I can't live here forever right? You know I have dreams, which I want to fulfil. And you want to make me do that, don't you? Even you have your dreams. Remember? The chess?" she says with smile and nods her head. Brooks nods his head.

"Those dreams doesn't mean anything to me if they are without you" He says. "No, no. For me. You will do it. We both will do it. Ok? We will not risk our future for our present" he nods.

"And so, for that I will have to go, right?" she says with a smile. Brooks nods and hugs her very tightly, knowing she was right. "Never ever think that I am going to leave you" She says while hugging him. He nods.

Autumn looks at him. "After all, Your royal highness will need her courtier, won't she?" Brooks laughs at that. "Ohh, look at that. My hair is stained with your medicine" Autumn said, trying to ease the situation. Brooks again laughs at this. She laughs too, seeing his laugh.

Brooks sniffs and removes his tears. Autumn helps him to do so. "But, promise me. We will always, write letters to each other"

"Always" she says, with her thumb resting on his cheek.

"Like the vintage style" Brooks says and brings his pinky finger up.

Autumn lets out a sniff with a chuckle. Tears again roll down her eyes.

"The vintage style" she says and joins her pinky finger with his.
