Julius had left his paperwork and went to go meet with William at the top of the castle as Julius looked at William and spoke.
Julius: "How unusual for you to ask to speak with me like this, what's the occasion, William?"
William didn't say anything for a moment than spoke up.
William: "First I must thank you for taking the time to indulge in my selfish request."
Than he took off his mask and looked down at it as he spoke.
William: "From the start, you have acknowledged me for my worth, even tho my appearance is strange. When I met you, my entire future opened up before me. I was raised as a cursed child in a poor village, in the forsaken realm. I've suffered such cruel treatment even from the family iv been welcomed as a noble mans successor. But than, you showed me kindness, you showed me respect, you invited me to become a magic knight. When you present me this gift."
His voice trailed off as he stared at the mask than continued speaking to Julius.
William: "When you allowed me to join your order, and everything became certain to me. II'd dedicate my grimoire to you and your cause. It's been Eleven years and my sentiments haven't changed one bit. There's no one in this world that I respect as much as you.
Than Julius started speaking as he rubbed the back of his head slightly embarrassed of the compliments.
Julius: "Where did all the praise come from? How about that treatment, huh? haha.."
William continued after he finished.
William: "Bit by bit, I climbed the ranks until I became a magic knight captain, guided by my own mana, I selected talented squad members and created the golden dawn. As thanks for the kindness You showed me, I built the strongest squad of knights I could assemble, I did that for you. But also, for someone else who is equally dear to me. A friend who's always been at my side, one iv known even longer than you. And now I'm faced with two different loved ones that have two different paths. I'm torn between the dream we fought for, And the dream of my friend, iv know from the start I couldn't possibly choose between you. So now, that design must fall onto your shoulders.."
As he says the last sentence, his markings disappeared and his hair turned long and white turning into Licht, as Julius's eyes widened.
Than Licht spoke up still staring at Julius with a small smile still holding the mask in his hands.
Licht: "William, my only human friend, I know this was hard for you, I'm grateful. Greetings to you, wizard king, Julius Novachrono. I am the Leader of the eye of the midnight sun, known as Licht. "
Than Julius's eyes went back to normal but narrowed slightly, as his voice was calm but firm and serious.
Julius: "Iv been dreading this day, yet here we are. Will, I know you've been hiding something for awhile now, part of you that you couldn't show anyone, not even me. Yami felt the same way I'm certain, perhaps Fuegoleon saw your true form before his defeat, it must've been a shock to him. The day of the Royal Capital was attacked by the eye of the midnight sun, the profound unease I felt when met with Licht, I was struck by the familiar air of his mana. I couldn't help but notice how acted after I injured his arm, naturally my suspicions began to grow. And I told myself it couldn't possibly be true, I trusted you after all. But now iv witnessed the truth. You and William are not the same, your two souls in one body. In that sense, I suppose I wasn't betrayed. How did you get the scars off your face, it didn't seem to be like magic?"
Than Licht spoke up, his smile now a smirk as he spoke.
Licht: "The scars only belonged to William, the mark of his curse that he inherited from his mothers side of the family. But even if I share this body, a humans curse has nothing todo with me. Infact, I despise humans. William of curse, is the only soul exception, we were able to co-exist in the same body after all. He may have been human but, he accepted my feelings, he accepted my feelings.
Ect, I don't have enough space but they stared fighting time and light magic ect.
