Panicked sea green eyes widened as a young man in his 20s reached out toward a figure who had pushed him backward and away from the attack that was sent to end him.
"Cyrus!" He shouted, watching as the other figure got slashed diagonally in his place.
Blood went flying, landing, and painting the ground and everything that was nearby with the red liquid.
The other figure, a young man around his age, turned his head to look at him.
A smile broke onto his lips, mouthing words that the green-eyed male couldn't read.
"Cyrus!" He yelled once more, tears gathering in his eyes, watching as the other male, Cyrus Stark, got stabbed through the chest causing him to choke up blood that slipped through his lips.
Sea green eyes wavered with tears as the male rushed to the fallen man's side.
A pair of warm, sun-kissed hands reached out toward the male, gently wrapping his hands around the other's face.
"No... No no no no, you can't die on me Cyrus," the sea green-eyed male pleaded, his voice cracking.
Cyrus sent a pained smile up at the man who leaned over him.
Reaching out his hand, Cyrus tenderly held the other male's face, running a thumb beneath his eye.
"Your Highness..." Cyrus trailed off before chuckling despite being in pain, "No. Lucian," he corrected, wiping away strands of black hair from the other male's face, "I'm not good with words, but all I can say is... I apologize for everything my family has done to you."
Lucian shook his head. "Shut the hell up, stop talking, and save your strength."
Cyrus smiled as he watched Lucian lean against the palm of his hand.
Lucian's heart started to pound in his chest as he saw the familiar smile, his face becoming flustered.
"You..." The raven-haired male muttered, "You dumbass of an Alpha."
Cyrus brought his gaze toward the sky.
Lucian felt his whole body freeze when he felt the man's hand slip from his face and drop to the ground.
"Cyrus?" He asked, gently shoving the other male's shoulder, "Cyrus?" He repeated.
As he was about to repeat the man's words, Lucian ended up choking on blood as a sword pierced his chest.
Behind him stood his uncle who had caused a revolution against the royal family.
Lucian brought a shaking hand up to his lips, blood slipping from between them —
A loud gasp escaped a young boy's lips as he shot awake.
Hearing the gasp, a maid turned her head while carrying a basin filled with water.
Seeing the boy awake, the sound of surprise escaped her lips, causing her to drop the basin which caused the water to hit the ground.
"His Highness, Prince Lucian, is awake!"
