"She's very sick right now." Owen tells Fuegoleon as the crimson lion captain sat down next to (Your Name) holding her hand. "With some rest and not much activities she will heal slowly."
"I see, thank you." Fuegoleon tells Owen as he left the two to talk.
"I'm sorry, I've been so weak." (Your Name) quietly says giving a painful smile.
"Stop being sorry, it doesn't matter if you are weak or strong. I will protect you." He tells her wiping the sweat from her forehead. She shakes her head and grab both his hands into her small ones.
"You should remarry."
Fuegoleon eyes widen, it was unexpected of her to say such a thing to him. "What are you going on about?"
There was silence in the room as (Your Name) started to cough harshly, the red blood falling onto the sheets. Fuegoleon was already up from his seat and holding her body. He rubbed her back and offered a cold glass of water.
"Let me go get Owen."
She grabbed his arm and shook her head. "It's fine, I just need to rest."
He sighed, he knew she was so stubborn.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn, even on your death bed?"
"This isn't my death bed, I'm just sick." (Your Name) argued. Fuegoleon rolled his eyes and fixed her bed sheets. "I have to go. Captain duties."
She nodded her head as he softly kissed her forehead . "Goodbye, I'll come home soon." She promised him, Fuegoleon looked back and gave her a small smile.
The following weeks passed and she was recovering slowly. There was definitely process, she no longer was coughing blood and was able to walk around without fainting. Fuegoleon didn't visit much because of work duties but Leopold would come.
"How's everything?" She asked the younger boy.
Leopold was so full of life, him and Fuegoleon were definitely opposites when it came to personalities. "AMAZING! Aniue has been training me personally!"
(Your Name) smiles, he was amazing with children.
"Sometime I feel helpless, sometimes I feel like I've failed Fuegoleon." She tells Leopold as the younger child tilted his head.
"What do you mean? Aniue loves you!" His face a little redden out of irritation. Leopold knew, there was a age gap between the two but that doesn't mean he didn't know anything.
He remember when (Your Name) and Fuegoleon were younger, about their early twenties. She use to pester him all the time, it was a one sided love at first.
When Leopold was about 7 he would see (Your Name) around the house following Fuegoleon. She was like a parasite stuck onto him.
Often times he would find his brother pushing her away or calling her a nuisance because he was all about training and becoming the next captain.
"How did Aniue fall in love with you?" Leopold asked, curious on their relationship.
(Your Name) smiled and looked out the window.
"I guess time? I don't actually know. After I stopped pestering him Fuegoleon started bothering me. I guess you can say a switch flipped off."
Leopold giggled he couldn't see his older brother bothering a girl because he was always so serious. "I think brother hit the jackpot, (Your Name) older sister is pretty." He cheers her up by jumping in the air as if he won a race.
"Oh! I have to go now! Training with aniue! He's going to be upset if I'm late!" Leopold shouts giving her a kiss on the cheek before running off. (Your Name) eyes widen as she slightly smirked. "You really are growing up now."
