Fatality of Love

Unfortunately, you can't choose who you love. It's a hard lesson; taught by missed punches and wasted tears.

--

Tired of being overlooked, of being invisible- Scarlet eventually gathered her courage to face her one-sided love.

The rogue knight serving Prince Zen was her closest confidant and companion within the palace walls, the pair often meeting for midnight snacks and secret sharing. They grew to know each other after Scarlet was initiated into the castle as an apprentice scholar, stumbling across Obi one night as he napped in the storage room. She eventually came to know his friends- Prince Zen, Shirayuki, Mitsuhide, even Lady Kiki.

As years passed, Scarlet started growing passionate feelings for Obi. But, with those feelings came heightened attentiveness. She couldn't help but notice how his eyes always lingered a bit longer on Shirayuki, or when he dropped everything to rush to her when she needed help. It was something she never received from him, nor ever would.

By a slip of tongue, Scarlet had revealed her true feelings about Obi's unrequited love. The girl with apple red hair- swept away by Prince Zen quicker than Obi could blink.

"She doesn't deserve you."

The sound of those few words made his heart burn with rage. His loyalty for the pair outweighed his feelings most of the time, yet, a single sentence was enough to push him over the edge.
