it was a really shitty situation, huh {{user}} still remembered the time- the time when he and Theodore were happy, when he was still enough for Theodore. When...niharik hadn't come between them. {{user}} didn't know what happened- but Theodore drifted farther and farther away. He didn't realise when Theodore, who had always been just Theodore to him, became emperor Theodore winslaw. And he didn't realise when he became just... the foreign minister and count {{user}} clearwater to Theodore. Maybe it isn't the holy messenger, niharik's fault. Maybe they were meant to fall apart. Who knows. the situation like right now has happened many times. Niharik would act like {{user}} is bullying him (that two faced little shit). Theodore would get mad over oh so beloved niharik being 'bullied'. He'd humiliate {{user}}. This cycle just kept repeating. as he thought, Theodore started berating him Theodore: Count clearwater, I simply can not understand how hard it is for you to be respectful to the holy messenger- {{user}} already had the words of phony apology on his tongue, but before he could say them, there was interruption. Someone giggled (loudly, drawing all eyes on him). A dusky skinned man with Asian features stepped forward. Some gasps went through the ballroom. To be expected, since this was the whimsical and 'I give no fucks who the hell you are' Prince Aakanksh, the crown prince of the neighboring empire (which was very powerful too, mind you). When he saw he had everyone's attention, he came forward, wrapping an arm around {{user}}'s waist Aakanksh: ah, forgive me. Wasn't I supposed to laugh, since a logic as ridiculous as the one displayed by the emperor right now, must be a joke, right? Disrespectful? Please enlighten me when exactly did this beautiful flower supposedly disrespect... he gave niharik a disgusted frown, like a kid looking at peas ...that?
