Akakuro short stories: I'll protect you

I was your personal guard. You were a prince. The Queen beloved son. We both loved each other that we kept it a secret.

Until...

I watched as you were carried in a small Doli carriage. Dressed in red & gold royal kimono of your country.

I rode my horse next to you as we guard you to another kingdom.

A red veil covering your face.

You looked so beautiful with your red lips painted and long lashes as you looked down with a sad face.

I wished I could walked over to you and embrace you , whisper sweets word to you in my arms.

But I cannot do that because your getting married.

Married to someone you don't even love. Someone you don't even know. You were forced to go. So that the two country could be in peace.

I saw you looked up at me with a small sad smiled. I didn't know what to say to you. I only bit my lips and said nothing.

We continued traveling to the kingdom of Jabberwock.

I watched as a man with gold hair and green eyes stood in front of you. He lift up your red veil revealing your beautiful face.

I watched as the priest spoke words but ignored them. I saw Nash was his name smirks and lifted up your chin.

I clench my fist as he kissed you with a smirk.

It's been a month since we've been in Jabberwock. We haven't been talking a lot because you were fully married to the golden haired man. We stood in your room hand in hand held tightly together and small kisses.

We couldn't stop this war or do anything. We had no rights with our love. If only I was someone with a higher status and I would be able to sweep up off your feet and run toward the sun of freedom so no on would be able to find us.

One day we were too careless that we got caught sleeping together. I heard your scream as we were pulled away from each other. We held onto each other hands tightly. I held onto you as tightly as I could but your hand was slipped away from me.

I was captured and throw into the dungeon. I was whip and torture until I couldn't move my body no more.

I didn't know how long I stayed there until that night. I saw you walking down the dungeon. You were limping and bruised face. Your clothes slipping off your shoulder revealing your skin.

I saw blood flowing down your legs and your lips was bleeding. There was also a red bite mark in your neck.

"Who did that!" I screamed.

I knew who did that to you. That man must have forced himself on you. He raped you. I growl in anger and looked down and silently apologize to you.

I felt guilty and anger at how I couldn't protect you.

You just looked at me and smiled. Saying that is wasn't my fault.

My heart clench when I saw you were forcing a smile. I knew you were in a lot of pain and suffering.

I heard the sound of keys jingle. I looked up and saw you were unlocking the door and my chains.

I hugged him when I got free from the chains ignoring the wounds on my skin.

My eyes widen in horror when someone else came down.

I saw the color of the rainbow. 🌈 (no pun intended..................................maybe)
