*** Heyu's POV ***

[ Yuki...]

I like everyone had heard Yuki as he bared his soul. I had never seen or heard of any other aristocrat with the strength or courage to do what Yuki was doing. I was so entranced at listening to what Yuki had to say that I had no longer felt the movement of time.

When I had seen Yuki mid way through deciding his clothes earlier I couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if I was any later in the room. His room was about as messy as the thoughts that I had when it came to Yuki himself.

" From there the young boy was trapped in a soul space..." Yuki continued to talk and I watched him intently afraid to miss out on any details.

I couldn't imagine what it would have been like for him. A mere boy with a great burden on his shoulders. He has said the " Heir to a great tradition of keeping tama safe" more than once and it resonated with me.

I thought back to my time when I had first picked up a sword. I haven't always been a guard for the kingdom of Vance. Before then I was living in a place I would rather forget. The responsibility and burden on my shoulders I had ultimately made me run away and join the Vance army to escape it.

Yuki on the other hand had embraced it as best he could.

[ At least I can have order in my living space. ]

His story had left my heart in disarray. He had gone on about the mission that some Vance assassins had tried to commit and the capture of Yuki's father. It bore a small hole in my heart as I thought about what it would have been like in his shoes.

" That was when Ren.. and Ki.. found out something important about the boy. The reason why I no he cannot and will not ever marry Princess Rosali" Yuki said firmly.

I looked over at the second prince of Tama and watched the confusion rise on his face. I too was not prepared for what Yuki said next.

" The boy had angrily spread a truth he did not want anyone to know. Something that had followed him since birth twisting any plans he could have.. He had told them.. He could never love a women. As Ren had put it.. He had the heart of a maiden." Yuki said as he paused.

There was a brief tension that piled up in the room.

I watched as Nathan and Yuki stared at each other neither saying a word.

[ No wonder him and the princess didn't have a spark.. Wait...]

The moments I had with Yuki flashed inside my head. His awkward movements around me when he first met.

His past embarrassment and actions.

He couldn't have...

[ Was this the reason he said he was grateful for us ruining the engagement?! ]

I distracted myself by looking over at Sora his hands seemed to be clenched into fists.

I couldn't say I knew exactly what to say right now.

[ What can you say.. To this? To any of this? ]

I continued to soul search as Yuki continued to recite. He was now mentioning how he met Sora and how excited he was to make a friend only to be betrayed.

Sora stood up abruptly.

" Yuki.. I" Sora shouted.

" Please wait.. I am trying to hold myself together" Yuki said in a calm tone.

Sora and Yuki stared at one another I stood up quietly and used my hand to gently move Sora back to a sitting position.

Yuki then smiled at me gratefully before he took a breath. Yuki's mother Airi had not move from her position for a very long time. Loki on the other hand seemed to look really relaxed.
