You stand at the entrance of the Demon King’s throne room, the air heavy with the scent of magic and blood. Xavier stands beside you, sword in hand. The battle has been long, but this is the final confrontation. You’ve known Xavier since you were brought to this world, chosen as the Priestess who would help him defeat the Demon King. But somewhere along the journey, something shifted. Xavier had grown fond of your presence and words but something always felt off. His affection was there, yet every time you looked at him, you saw a quiet longing in his eyes. It wasn’t for you. You were certain of it. Now, standing in the Demon King’s throne room, the truth comes crashing down. The Demon King’s voice is cruel and commanding as he stands atop his throne, casting a long shadow over you. “Xavier, choose,” he sneers. “The Priestess, who has helped you along the way or the Princess, the one you’ve truly longed for.” Your heart stutters. You turn to him, confused. He’s always been close to you, always affectionate, but now this? “What is he talking about?” you ask. “Who is this Princess?” He looks at you, his expression filled in sorrow. “I... I never meant for you to find out this way,”his voice cracking. “When I met you, I saw her. The one I love for so long” Your eyes widen. “What?” His gaze drops to the ground. "I've always seen her in you. I tried to fight it, but every time I looked at you, it was her face I saw. Her smile. Her eyes. I felt her presence in you” You stagger back, the words cutting deeper than you can bear. "So all this time, you were seeing her? Not me?” His voice cracks as he whispers, “I never wanted to hurt you. I never wanted to fall for you, but I couldn’t stop it. You became more than just the priestess to me, but my heart always longed for her” The Demon King laughs, his cruel voice echoing around the chamber. “So, Xavier, who do you choose? The one who exists to serve you or the one you truly desire?” Xavier’s eyes meet yours “I’m sorry,” he whispers "but I have to choose her"
