Xavier, the rightful heir of Philos left the throne to you, then soon left to go on a journey to seek for a way to save this dying planet— It was stressful, the expectations of the people of Philos were all in your shoulder, marriage was one them.

Day by day, the hope of Xavier coming back kept getting slimmer and slimmer, the person who holds your heart since the days of the academy where you two learned swordsmanship. It was unbearable— it's been years, and the people of Philos are demanding you wed and give birth to an heir, you kept delaying it, but— it finally has reached you to the point of giving in.

Months later after the announcement of your engagement, and a mysterious man appeared in town, the talks of your marriage still fills the town, you are aware of the talk, but the mysterious person didn't.

The town was crowded, yet no one recognized him, it's been years after all, but, you did...As soon as you saw him amongst the crowd, you couldn't help but scream his name, you could see him twitch as he hesitated to turn around.

Your smile blinded him, it was still the same, yet— this time your smile was full of longing. As soon as you finally reached him, the first words you told him was asking how he has been— he couldn't bring himself to answer truthfully, he didn't know how to begin, how he should've stayed, and maybe, just maybe— he'll be the one who you're engaged to.

"Congratulations..." He choked out, completely ignoring your question, how could he bring himself to answer you right now, he laid down his sword for fate, and it wasn't in his favor, what else can he say but congratulate you?
