Confession

✩｡:*•.───── ❁ ❁ ─────.•*:｡✩

Everyone in the room was just as surprised as I was. Yorrichi ran through the doors and went straight to me. He picked me up by his waist and threw me over his shoulder.

"Hey!" Kibtusuji called after us, but Yorrichi was too fast.

Before he could fully stand up, Yorrichi was out the door with me in tow. I was too in shock to say anything as he ran away from the palace. Only when he reached the front gates of the kingdom did he stop. He set me down and grabbed my face, making me realize that he hadn't broken a sweat.

"Are you alright?! He didn't hurt you, did he?! I swear, if he-" Yorrichi said frantically.

I didn't say anything, though, and instead threw my arms around him. Tears came to my eyes as I sobbed into his chest. A week felt like years, and after being in Kibutsuji's palace for so long, seeing Yorrichi was a relieving breath of fresh air.

"Oh, you came for me! I thought I'd never see you again!" I cried through my sobs.

He almost immediately put his arms around my waist and pulled me close.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have let you run away from me... I can never forgive myself..."

"No, it's my fault! I shouldn't have-!"

My mouth was muffled by something. Yorrichi's lips. He held the back of my head as he leaned down and kissed me. My eyes were wide as I looked at his closed ones. What...? Slowly, and seemingly reluctantly, he pulled away.

"My princess... Y/N... I have a confession to make... I love you. I've always loved you, ever since the day I first met you. I thought it would never work out because I'm a soldier and you're a princess... But now, I don't care anymore! I love you so much it hurts! Please accept my confession, Princess! We can run away together and elope!"

I was quiet as I looked at him. I like Yorrichi... But not like that... Seeing the look in my eyes, his gaze darkened.

"Do you... Not reciprocate...?" He uttered.

"I... I'm sorry, Yorrichi... I just..." I looked away, my words trailing off.

"I see... Well, it's not like you have a choice, anyway."

"Huh?"

He grabbed me by my waist and threw me over his shoulder again.

"You're coming with me, whether you like it or not."

Kibutsuji was bad... But having Yorrichi in his place, a man who even Kibutsuji fears... I'm in deep shit.

❥ Remember when I said that Yorrichi opened his mouth to say something but stopped himself? Well, that's what he wanted to say (confess).
