The bath prepared by Nox was the best. It was relaxing and the sandalwood scent reminded me of my mate.

[End of Clauis pov]

Clauis wanted to cry, he really missed his mate who won't show up in front of him no matter what he did. Clauis felt a pang in his chest, clauis wanted to cry,he wanted to cry out loud. But he couldn't, to say more like he can't.

His brothers always accompanied him never leaving him alone, invading his private space but he still felt lonely. He always wondered if the original clauis always felt this way.

Leonard arrived after clauis died, back then clauis was hated by his entire family, no one attended his funeral, the funeral of the person who had abused the future crown Princess, not even his own personal servant Christian, he lived alone, he died alone. Leonard who read his dead mate's life through documents destroyed half of the continent, the damage was immesurable but the ml had the protagonist halo so the kingdom was saved and the ml who defeated the villian was known as a hero thus solidifying his position as a crown prince. But the villain wasn't going to back down this easily. The villain summoned the demon king and his body and soul was sacrificed in the process.

What happened after that was a mystery as it was season end. And he hadn't read the 2nd season. He had read some spoilers of it on internet, it said that the male lead had changed and there was no FL, did it turn into bl? He didn't know and now he there was no way to know.

The bath was done and now he was lying in bed. He tossed around a lot he couldn't sleep, he hated nights like this. The nights like this when he needed his mate beside him. The corner of eyes stung, maybe it was because there was Nox beside him in bath that is why he didn't cry, but now that he alone the tears started rolling down his cheeks. It was his own body, but it didn't obey him in situations like this. Probably because it was the habit of the original clauis who cried when there was no one, all alone at night.

He didn't refute, he let the tears tears spill, it's not like it was the first time something like this happened.

In the earlier days he sent countless letters, even made his father the Duke agree to not meddle in the process. But his stupid mate never responded once. As months passed by he gave up and just simply curled himself into a ball silently sobbing just like this.

I know it's super small! But hey that's two chaps!
