Chapter Text
Knock Knock.
The heavy palace doors creaked open, and a beautiful woman with purple hair walked in. She leaned on the open doors, and waved a stack of papers in her hand.
“Bladie~ Silverwolf has found something that I think you might be interested in. Care to take a look?”
Blade looked up from the paperworks on his desk. He looked at the woman, who was staring back at him with a grin, “…Kafka, just tell me what it is.”
Ignoring Blade’s request, Kafka walked over to the desk Blade was sitting at. She sat on the edge, put the papers down, then slid it over to Blade with her slim fingers. “See for yourself.” she looked at Blade with an amused expression.
Blade shot Kafka a suspicious glance, he doesn’t know what this woman is up to now, but he looked down at the pile of paper anyways, “What’s so special about thi-“
His voice abruptly stopped. With trembling hands, his fingers glided across the picture printed on the first page of the pile of papers. Kafka let out a slight chuckle upon seeing his reaction and crossed her arms. “See, I told you. Silverwolf saw news of him online, and I thought he looked a little too similar to your little childhood crush that you are still obsessed over today,” Kafka hopped off the table, turned around to look at Blade and continued, “so, I did a little more digging, and all the information I could find about him are on those papers. No need to thank me.”
No response from Blade. He continued looking over the papers, his face a mix of surprise and disbelief. The man he’s been searching for all this time… he finally couldn’t hide any longer. The face on the photos slowly began to overlap with the one in his memories. “Danfeng…” he quietly whispered to himself, once again sinking into the memories.
“The kingdom has been a bit more peaceful as of recently, so if you need to take a break from work for some reason, the rest of the Hunters Council can handle everything for a bit. Plus, I think it would be quite nice to have someone say hello to the new king of our dear neighboring kingdom on behalf of Stellare, don’t you think?” Kafka smiled, staring at Blade and waiting for a response from him.
Finally, Blade dragged his gaze away from the papers and looked back at Kafka, “In that case, I’ll be taking a break for a few days.”
“Sounds good, I’ll go tell the others then. Have fun on your break!” Kafka waved as she left.
Blade sighed and continued to look through the papers, doing his best to calm his overwhelming emotions down.
The grandfather clock in the corner ticks away as time flows by. It didn’t take long for Blade to finish reading the files. Although the man is now called Danheng, Blade will never fail to recognize those breathtaking eyes, even if they’re now changed to a different color. The same red eyeshadow, just like how it was back then…… it has to be him.
Now, the young boy who used to sneak out with him just to sit on the rooftops and watch the moon together has become the new ruler of another kingdom.
He’s been hiding well. Even Kafka and Silverwolf couldn’t find much information on him. Being royalty and somehow wiping out nearly all information about him in the media, it’s truly impressive. If it wasn’t for him becoming king, he might even have been able to hide from Blade his entire life. What happened to get him where he is now? What did he go through in all these years? There are so many questions Blade wants to ask Danheng. Soon, soon he will get the chance to do so. Even if destiny refuse to give him that chance, he will create it himself.
Although Blade is certain that this Danheng is the same person as Danfeng, there is still something he needs to confirm. Something he needs to see with his own eyes.
We are destined to be reunited.
This time, I will make sure no one can take you away from me again.
