When I Found You [AU] Blackmadhi

chapter X

[[ a/n : i forgot to mention in the last chapter that nahyuta changed into new clothes instead of wearing the blanket over his body. i assume he did this before he was approached by ema skye ~ ?  i am so sorry for not included this, it completely slipped my mind ~ ~ i was thinking his clothing would look like this: 🌸💕 ]]

Simon's POV

I guess this is it for me.. I am simply going to wind up executed by the realm and end up like all the others. A little piece of me was hoping that Nahyuta would chase after me like how I did with him in the village with his lilac braid streaming behind him and that way he would snatch at my sleeve, however no prince sought me. 

This wasn't the way I wanted to end my days, but it can't be helped. If that that stupidly pretty prince didn't appear at my home none of this would of happened. I would be distant from everyone else with Taka and I wouldn't have to be executed by some noblemen. 

If only I could go back to when miss Metis was around with her little girl Athena.

 Then I would have never given that prince access to my home. 

Metis.... Athena... Aura... 

We could of all been together, spending our lives with each other, however Metis ended up being murdered. Aura took Athena from the home we all shared and left me alone. 

What sort of older sister doesn't listen to their sibling. I wouldn't blame her for speculating that I murdered miss Metis... 

I didn't even fight to show that I didn't even do it, I simply acknowledged my fate to save my mentor's treasure, Athena. Even now I don't know who truly carried out the murder, however there isn't a day that I don't think about what we all could of been. 

Just the four of us...

 I walk down the remainder of the hallway and no watchmen were near. Here I was going to get myself executed, yet no one was there to execute me.

 Why was I desperately trying to die?

 Did I want to apologize to Metis for not having the option to protect Athena?

 Speaking about Athena and Aura, I haven't seen them in seven years. Aura most likely raised her and presumably showed her all about her stupid robotic engineering profession. I never truly got what intrigued Aura to be interested in robots, they appeared to be dumb metal machines that don't seem to fill a very remarkable need, yet I guess that because it isn't my field of work. 

I escape my thoughts to concentrate on the present. That young lady that Nahyuta and I saw before.. It was his future wife. I can hardly imagine why Nahyuta was lying about her this entire time. I get it sort of explains why he drove away from the kiss by the lake, but I suppose anybody in their right mind who do something very similar. 

She didn't appear to be a horrible person, yet Nahyuta dealt with her like she didn't mean anything to him. It didn't seem as though she was lying about the wedding, so for what reason would he be so upset about it? I don't think I will understand that monk. 

When she said they were getting married something inside me sort of broke. Possibly it was my heart or perhaps it was my sanity from all the troubles I have faced lately, I guess I will never know. 

I just felt somewhat devastated by that entire thing with him and that young lady. It's not like I loved him and whether I did or not he has a wife and not to mention he basically despises me. 

I don't know what to do any more, everything just feels a overwhelming. 

Yeah, that is it, I don't care for Nahyuta and I am not heartbroken, I am only a little befuddled.. there's nothing more to it.

 I push open the doors prompting the hall, yet no one was around. Is always this empty in here? I thought that the kingdom would be overflowing with people helping the sovereignty that lived here, yet I saw none of that since the time I arrived. 

I look up at the staircase on my right and see a woman with a similar hair color as Nahyuta and a long dress walking delicately down the steps. She was closing her eyes as she put her hands out before her. She takes after Nahyuta a lot that is it's practically disturbing. 

Perhaps this is his sister? 

The angelic woman arrived at the finish of the stairs and fluttered her eyes. They were a similar shade of green like Nahyuta's rather her eyes appear to be glossy. Was she was crying before? The mysterious woman covered her mouth probably in shock.

 "Oh, it is you.. the person who was rough with my son!" 

I don't understand.. What is she referring to? I fold my arms and gaze at her with disarray spread all around my face. 

"You must be Mr. Blackquill..Who let you out of your cell? I do trust it wasn't my sweet Nahyuta." 

Oh, so Nahyuta must be this mysterious lady's child, he looked a lot like her as well. She was by all accounts youthful that it was somewhat startling to find out she was a mother.

 "Don't you speak? It isn't courteous to overlook individuals you know."

 She shuts her eyes delicately and sighs. I sense loads of sadness coming from that sigh it nearly appeared as though she was depressed. For what reason would woman such as herself be depressed? She lives in a lovely kingdom, has a beautiful son, and llives her days comfortably. It seemed as though she was grief stricken, however her face didn't coordinate how her heart felt. She was one confusing lady that even I was unable to understand her feelings.

 "Hello.." I mumble and she looks at me, 

"Ah~ So you do speak in our language.. I was getting somewhat distressed." 

She laughed and it sounded heavenly. I know I said I don't believe in the entire Holy Mother thing, yet she really appeared as the Holy Mother reawakened as a human. It was somewhat amazing really, I was actually meeting the Queen of Khura'in face to face. 

"Mr. Blackquill, what have you done to my child and what are you doing here?"

 The lady said softly. I detected anger and trouble from her last sentence, yet her face once more didn't show any of it. She was calm on the outside, yet an emotional jumble within. 

"I should guarantee you your sacredness, I did nothing of the sort to your child. Truth be told, he went to the Kurain Village on his accord." 

I didn't mean to say that much information yet it just flown of my mouth, it kind of felt like I could tell this lady anything. She nods her head and says, 

"Would you say you are lying Blackquill? You realize the Holy Mother doesn't endure lies and cheats. She only recognizes true facts and the trustworthiness from our souls."

 I shake my head and she smiles, 

"Wonderful, I trust you Blackquill. As queen I will place my trust in you to answer my questions with full honesty and integrity. Meanwhile I will allow you to follow me, I would be simply delighted if you comply." 

She brushed past me and I immediately followed behind. It felt like my feet were moving on its own. If it was any other person I presumably wouldn't of agreed, yet this time it felt like I don't much of a choice. I

 followed the sovereign down numerous corridors. I watched her long lavender hair flow carefully behind her and the petals on her decorative arrangement on her head coast off delicately. 

Where was she taking me anyway? 

I guess I will simply need to trust her to guide me.
