    Summary

    He closed the door behind him, and leaned on it. His mind was spinning. He was obsessed with one realization: he was Othello. His appearance was exotic, he had no place in her society aside from protecting her, he was isolated, he felt his aloneness every moment. He sometimes feared that she loved him for his differences, not in a good way, but like a unique toy of which she would eventually tire, and return her attention to the men of her world, men with the same skin, hair, culture, experience.

    Like Othello, he had trust issues, major trust issues. He knew he trusted Father’s opinions too much, particularly as they pertained to Catherine. Even as he argued with Father about his relationship with her, he knew he would ultimately base his behavior on Father’s firmly held belief that an intimate relationship with her was not to be, should not and could not be. He knew he could trust Catherine with his life, he knew from their own history she could never be interested in any other man, he could feel it through their bond. So, he realized, I don’t even put my trust in our bond, our bond that’s as real and reliable to me as my own hands. What am I doing? he wondered.

    Summary

    "Princess, would you please let down your hair?"

    All Leo could make out was a head of pink hair, and a pale face, peeping down at him from the small window at the highest point in the tower. She put a hand against her mouth to let herself be heard as she yelled out, "I-I'm really sorry, but I just cut it... Well, I don't need saving anyway, thank you though, h-have a good day!"

    The key to saving his life and his humanity had just cut off his only entrance into the tower, so it was pretty obvious that he would not be having a good day like the princess requested. In fact, his day would be rather bad. As would the rest of his entire, short life be.

    Destiny had a sadistic streak, it seemed.
