________________________________________________________________________________

In my previous life, after becoming the Kings right hand, Grey and I became close enough that some would go as far to call us brothers in everything but blood.

I was the only one Grey had left, after what happened to Cecilia and Nico's reaction to it.

Grey was broken.

He barely showed any form of emotion.

Of course I'm not one to speak, being in a much worse state myself.

But I still tried comforting him, and not once did I blame him for what happened.

After all, how could I?

I knew Cecilia chose to give up her life, and her only option was being killed in the tournament.

I knew because I planned the very same thing.

But for different reasons, where Cecilia did it to escape the clutches of the government, I did it because I was done with living.

And the only one who was capable of  killing me was Grey.

But when I saw how devastated he was when Cecilia ran in front of his blade.

My resolve shattered.

I still fought him, but my heart wasn't in it.

My benefactor screamed at me to take it seriously, but I never did.

Instead I dropped my ki sword and forfeited.

For a moment everything was quiet

And then Grey turned to leave.

"Wait!"

He stops, glancing back.

"Can I at least be your right hand?" I add, a hint of playfulness in my voice.

A minute passes before he speaks.

"Yes." His whispered answer was still loud enough for everyone to hear.

Gasping awake I clench my chest.

"Easy, easy." I hear the voice of Professor Glory.

"W-What happened?" I managed to get out.

She looks down, hesitating, before looking up and speaking, her voice full of grief, "The queen snarler exploded and made a chasm in the dungeon."

"And?" I don't like where this is going.

"Arthur fell into it." She choked out.

No! No no no no no no!

That can't be!

He can't just die like that!

Wait he fell down, so there's still a chance he survived.

I stand up abruptly.

"You should rest." Professor Glory tries to push me down.

"No, I'm going in there!"
