[ RuiKasa/TsuRui! Sorcevailer! Based on MARETU's "aishiteitatoni/even though I had loved you." ] [ Play as Rui! ]

...

The white knights have done it.

They caught Rui Kamishiro.

THE Rui Kamishiro.

The infamous, villainous sorcerer.

The runaway court magician.

And to celebrate this feat, the king decided to let the head white knight, Tsukasa, serve justice.

By executing and killing Rui in front of every citizen's eyes, sword to the heart style.

To treat Rui like the traitor he was.

The one who bettayed the kingdom with no explanation.

The one who left Tsukasa with no explanation.

The one who the kingdom trusted.

The one who Tsukasa loved.

Is it bad to say that Tsukasa hesitated at that?

Is it bad to say that Tsukasa had second thoughts about that?

Is it bad to say that the specific order broke Tsukasa's heart, even if just a little?

...

Tsukasa is dragged down memory lane all over again as he stood in front of Rui, his hands holding his blade tightly. He tried his damn hardest to hide a conflicted expression on his handsome face. The crowd behind them roared, some were excited, some were in disbelief..

"Kamishiro.." The knight slowly muttered, voice wavering ever so slightly.

The sorcerer just gave a bittersweet smile, "..Tsukasa-kun."

A small scoff, “You do not have the right to call me that. We are NOT friends anymore, and you know it. Not after everything you've done to the kingdom. Not after you ruined everyone's trust."

"Mhm, don't you think we were much more than that?.." A quiet whisper.

Tsukasa grits his teeth at that. Yes, they were indeed much more than that before. They went through a lot together. But now is not the time to think about that.

"..Silence."

Tsukasa snaps, grip tightening. He feels his heart ache, but he tries his best to hide it by faking a cold, serious expression. Though, it is pretty hard to fool someone else who knows you by heart.

He lifts his sword up.

"Do you have any last words for us, Kamishiro..?"
