"Fuegoleon-sama?" You entered the office of your captain to check up on him. A party in the Crimson Lions was hosted by Fuegoleon at this very hour but he chose not to be present.
"What is it? Has the event ended already?" He asked, still trying to think of a solution to further toughen his squad. He placed the paperwork according as you sighed.
"Hosting a party for the Knights to relax is commendable but you should know that you should take a break aswell" you told him and he shook his head.
"Other squads had a lead role in getting stars, even with your help, we're currently stuck on our current rank" he said and you took a seat infront of him.
"That's no good but overworking isn't good too. You've already learned that right?" You said pointing out the time that he has overworked you.
"And I still apologize for that" he said, still not looking at you as you converse. You didn't want to bother your captain but you can feel his mana slight deteriorating from overworking.
"Fuegoleon..." You said without honorifics but he still hasn't looked at you. You pretend to have a grim aura and sighed.
"Fuegoleon... I can't do this anymore. I want to quit" you said as he finally looked at you with a baffled and confused expression. You looked at him straight in the eyes and smiled.
"You finally looked at me, Fuegoleon-sama" you pointed out as he sighed from your petty little trick.
"Don't say words so nonchalantly in that matter" he scolded you as you sweat dropped.
"Ara! You've stopped working!" You said and he went back to work. "Really Fuegoleon-sama?" You asked and he stayed quiet.
You heard a knock on the door and saw Randall, the vice captain. You saw him scratch his neck and bowed down, "Sorry for the interruption but the knights on the party wanted to talk to commander (Y/n)" he said.
Fuegoleon suddenly remembered the conversation he accidentally overheard about one of the Crimson Lion knights liking you. As you were about to stand up, Fuegoleon had spoken.
"I'm afraid she's busy" Fuegoleon said and you eyed him questioningly. The vice captain nodded and left. You fully looked at your captain and raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not doing anything at all, Fuegoleon-sama and you've refused to let me convince you so shouldn't I go back to the party?" You asked him as he stayed silent.
"If that's how you view it then alright, you're free to go" he said and you sighed. You were just teasing the captain but nonetheless, you've left only to return with alcohol.
He was surprised that you even returned.
"What's with that surprised face, captain?" You asked him and concluded. "Could it be that you were actually feeling lonely?" You asked with a smile.
"It's not that. You've brought alcohol in the office. That's inappropriate don't you think?" He asked you back and you placed those alcohol on his desk.
"Fancy a challenge, Fuegoleon-sama?" You asked as he got intrigued by the word 'challenge'.
"If you get drunk first then you have to stop working for today and If I got drunk first then I'll do the paperwork" you said as he nodded, confident in winning.
You placed the paperwork on a different table and centered all the drinks. You've started to drink and without realizing it, you're at your 23rd glass.
"Fuegoleonnn-samaaaa, diD I Win yEt?" You asked and he sighed. Undoubtedly, he was the fourth best drinker and you can't compare to that at all.
"I think you've had enough" he said, taking your glass from you as you pouted.
"I can still beat youuu!" You said and you cried. Fuegoleon was taken aback from the sight of your tears.
"What's the matter?" He asked in panic.
"Y-you.. you keep overworking yourself and it's unhealthy!" You cried as he widened his eyes. Afterall this time, you were still thinking about his well being.
"But just so you know... I've won this!" You said and chuckled.
"I made you drink and that equivalents to not working! The conditions I gave whether I win or lose was all leading up to you not working" you stuck your tongue out as he realized your sly plan.
"I suppose I can never compare to your slyness, (Y/n)" he said with a gentle smile. You stood up and went to do the papers.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"I've loSt so I Have to Do papRrwOrk" you said like you've stated the most obvious thing.
"You can't possibly finish that while you're drunk" he retorted and you sighed, knowing he was right.
"But I want to help Fuegoleon-sama" you pouted again.
"As long as I'm alive, all I want to do is make Fuegoleon-sama happy" you said while sitting back down, ruffling your own hair.
"I was lost before but Fuegoleon-sama gave me hope. Fuegoleon-sama made me realize my new dream which was to break the curse I've put myself in" you said as he looked at you.
"Curse?" He asked as you nodded.
"I can't love and if I did, my fated mate will die" you told him.
"Why didn't you open this up sooner?" He asked you with a grim expression.
"Because... The one I love is..." you trailed off as he awaited your answer so that he can help you.
"The one I love is Fuegoleon-sama" you smiled at him as he was taken aback. His eyes widened at your little confession.
"I can't involve the one I love with this curse so I chose to stay quiet." You said with a gentle expression, looking out the window and unto the moon.
"Pretttyyy! It's a full moon" you said and looked back to tug Fuegoleon's robe.
"Do you know the story of Princess Kaguya?" You asked him.
"Yes, it was a girl who fell inlove with a human boy but soon fell in tragedy when the moon wanted to take her back" Fuegoleon summarized.
"I find it beautiful that Kaguya found love and chose to hold on it even though it's fated for them to separate." You smiled.
"That's why I've decided that... I'll hold onto my love for Fuegoleon-sama even if I go somewhere far" you placed your hand on your chest and smiled wider.
"I'm sorry (Y/n)..." He apologize because he can't tell you his feelings just yet.
"No, no! It's okay! I didn't expect you to love me back at all" you said and clenched the hands on your chest.
"But... I don't why... It still hurts this much when I already expected it" you began to tear up.
"But I do hope that you'll become happy with someone who won't curse you to death" you joked and chuckled.
"You should rest" he said and you coughed as you covered your mouth.
"H-hai.." you weakly said. Fuegoleon noticed your hands stained with blood. Something tells him that your body didn't gave out because of the drink.
It was something more fatal than that.
