I stared into his eyes as our mouth shut tight. He leaned in to kiss me with strong emotions lingering on his lips- his hands snaked around my waist as my arms wrapped around his neck. We swayed as the wind whistle- making it into our own little music inside his office. The feeling, love, swayed with us as the sun shone down at us from the window. I giggled softly as we broke the kiss, leaning against our foreheads and exchange 'I love yous'

If I was dreaming of this I pray to God to don't wake me up, I'll stay by his arms until the remaining days of me. I'll always love him from every breath we take to every last touch of our hands.

"The letter's wonderful.." He whispered to me as we both keep swaying through the music of nature. "..I wish I could give you-" I hushed him and rest my head on his masculine shoulder.

"Your presence is enough." I traced the skin of his back with my fingers- softly. He softly exhaled and went silent again.

"Daniel?" I called. I bit my bottom lip.

"Yes, Darling?" He answered back. I nuzzled deeply into his neck and breathed.

"So there's a man and woman, right? And then- they love each other so much. But then one day, the woman had thought of letting go without any reasons..." I stopped and breathe for a moment. He didn't reply but I felt him shifted.

"..then what?" He asked. I clicked my tongue.

"Then- um. When the woman has finally decided on letting go of their relationship- she wished him the very best and hoped that he'll find someone better than her, she was devasted of course but she has to do it. She needs to let go in order for her partner to not get too attached to her."

"Why do you say it like you're letting go, Y/n?" He suddenly pulled from the hug as his hands cupped my arms. He chuckled lightly yet the chuckled he made was trying to solve the puzzle. He looks at me with worry eyes.

"Am I? I'm sorry, it's just- it was a story from my mum. I just remembered it." I said and smiled weakly at him.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked, looking right through me. I gulped down and shook my head 'no' and laugh.

"Daniel, I'm perfectly fine. Stop worrying it was just a story." I look up to him, his worried expression was still plastered on his face.

"Y/n, you know you can always talk to me, right? I'm always here, right beside you. No matter what." He said and kissed my forehead. I felt guilty of what I'm doing- I'm making him worried about this shit.

What if I'm not gonna be on your side forever, Daniel?

What if- No..No.

I let out a sigh and hugged him tighter than every hug I have. He hugged back as if he knew what's going to happen.

A knock on the door suddenly came, making us broke our peaceful moment. The king gave me a sorry look before answering the door, one guard revealed himself.

"Your majesty the king of Rendaven commenced a war- his armies are coming!"

"What?! Get the men and your gears and prepare for battle," He demanded quickly before closing the door. He went up to his table and grab a key and closed the drawer of his table

I couldn't quite hear them since I was still in the trance about what happened earlier- the next thing I knew he went crazy.

I heard his mumbles as his eyes started to get glossy. I quickly walk up to him before he breaks.

I quickly grab his face to force him to look at me, his eyes stared into mine with sadness and guilt. My eyebrows crossed together in deep confusion. If only I know what's going on inside his chaotic mind.

"What's wrong, Daniel?" I searched for his face. He looks at me and widened his eyes, he bit his bottom lip. "Y-you need to go home before it's--" he got cut off by a cannonball hit the wall behind the castle. He scrambles his way to the window to see the catastrophe.

"Fuck!" He walks up to me and grabs my wrist. The loud banging of cannonballs against the wall made my stomach churn and my heart started to stammered briskly- my breathing hitched as my eyes began to get blurred.

If only there's a word to describe how terrified I am right now. We ran down the stairs, His back tenses as the loud banging continues.

"What's happening?!" I questioned- he didn't reply as we continue to run for our lives. We passed down one more stair and landed on a vibranium door, I look at him before he grips the key tightly and unlocked the door. As the door opened he looked at me- he cupped my cheek and kissed me. I felt his tears stream down on my cheek.

It's happening, the war of Kings.

"Please, don't go, Daniel.." I pleaded to hold his collar as my body went fragile. He hugged me once more and nuzzled his head against my neck. I cried on his shoulder as he slowly let go of me.

"You know I love you, right? And I'll always be, I'll reach stars for you, count them if I have to. And remember this, whatever happens, I'm in here forever." As he pointed to his heart- his eyes stared at my crying ones.

"I love y-you too. More than anything in this world could give.." I stuttered as he we both intertwined our fingers.

He nodded and slowly, as if time has given me the opportunity to hold on for a little longer, slowed down. The traces of his fingers are slowly fading away as the catastrophe above continued.

He pushed me inside forcefully, I screamed in horror as I watch him close the door. I look at the glass of the door to see him locking it.

"Daniel open it!" I vigorously tapped the glass and hoped he would listen. Once he locked it for good he looks at me and his eyes streamed in tears. He wiped it away and look away from me, and began to sprint through the stairs.

Now this day, the moment I am terrified to encounter is happening above me. The day where I might not see him again, the day where I'll stare above the sky all day- thinking that he's still there with me. I cried endlessly as my back against the door, my face buried from my palms.

If only I told him from the start.

When I met him- time was gold. Time was everything because the times we'll be sharing from each other is gonna be cut off by a stupid war.

This is the day I heard the war will be declared from my father's own mouth. I thought I'm not gonna be involved in this- I thought that I don't care but I did.

Please, let me go back time and warn him this- I can't stop this, it's an inevitable cause of kingdoms.

I cried my eyes out as I mistakenly imagined that he's not gonna come back, ever. My heart pounded like thousands of hammers pumped against me as I stared at the glass of the door. The glass is so small my head couldn't even fit.

Above me, the traumatizing screams and clanking of swords filled my ear-ls- making me lose sanity. I covered my ears to stop hearing but the sound penetrated through my skin and bones. I swallowed hard and begin to suffocate of the empty four-walled room.

I'm sorry, Daniel.

If this ends- I want Daniel to hate me, to push me away because I deserve it. This is my fault, it's my fault that he didn't saw this coming.

I want him to let go, or I should be the one letting go.

...I want him to hate me now.

NOW I'M SORRY FOR THIS. YES THIS IS THE PLAN NOW. IT'S WAR TIME.
