"Lea, come with me?"

"No."

"Why?"

"I want to explore."

".....Will you come meet me again?"

"Maybe."

"........." Oliver looked sad, very sad. "I want to always be able to see you..."

"........." She looked into his cyan eyes, silently.

"Once the conflict has calmed down, I'm going to chase after you.
"I'll follow you wherever you go.
"I promise you."

"You don't have to."

He felt a powerful prick in his chest. His heart trembled slightly in pain. Looking at Lea's rarely changed expression, Oliver knew her heart was a little harder to melt than others, but within him, he felt a strong resolution to chase after her. It was not a matter of how hard nor how long can a person's heart change, but whether if he'll be the man in the end to make her smile brilliantly. Whatever consequences, he's very willing to go through lengths to make her looks his way.

"I'll look for you, so accept this and never let it go."

As he said so, he grabbed Lea by the hand and pulled her towards him. She couldn't avoid what she couldn't predict and before she knew it, there was a brilliant fiery pendant laced around her neck.

"Don't ever put it away, please." He said as his head inches away from Lea's. 

She sensed his nervously with how fragile he looked. He really seemed he badly wanted her to wear the necklace. Thinking up to this point, Lea thought it was just one necklace and it looked beautiful.

"Okay." She finally said.

Then Oliver smiled in satisfaction before landing a kiss on Lea's cheek. She immediately stiffened at the contact. Recovering herself, she pushed Oliver away.

"Don't ever do that again." She simply said, her ruby eyes serious.

Oliver shrugged, his smile remained. "We'll see, Lea." His words unpromising, he went back to sitting comfortably.

".........." Her eyes narrowed on Oliver. "How will you persuade your father?"

With a tired sigh, Oliver looked on Lea, his thoughts somewhere else. "Rally my supporters, which I know are more than my father's. It will take time, but I intend to have my people consider me for the next throne. Although he is my father, his decisions concerning the whole of our nation have been risky. I'm sure there is a hole I can exploit.
"I'll talk to him afterwards once I have confidence I would win. It won't be long."

"What if it all fails. Have you thought of Plan B?"

"As expected of my Lea. I actually do." He smirked as soon as he saw a frown on Lea's face.
