Felix's POV

When I woke I felt stronger than I had ever felt. Like I'd had the best night's sleep of my long life. I blinked a few times and looked around. I was in my comfortable bed, but I had no idea how I had gotten here. The last thing I remembered was her, fearlessly fighting with him.

Trying to save every single one of us.

How had I managed to find such a fierce, fearless woman to call my soulmate? I slowly sat up and stretched my arms above my head.

"Prince Felix, it's good to see you awake." Jimin's soft voice startled me and he slowly got up from the end of my bed. His face was blank, and looked, concerned.

"Mochi, is everything OK? Where's y/n? Did she make it out? Please tell me she's OK!" My heart was racing. He frowned slightly and nodded at me.

"She's alive Prince. She survived." I let out a deep sigh, but something was clearly still weighing on him.

"Is she OK Mochi?" I asked quietly. I could see him chewing at the inside of his cheek and his brows furrowed. He stared at the wall and refused to speak.

Something was seriously wrong.

"Take me to her. Now!" I instructed as I threw my blanket from my body. He rushed forward and helped me to my feet. I was shaky and still unsure if I was fully healed, but I needed to see her.

Mochi bowed to Chan and he opened the door for us.

"I tried to get her back quickly Felix, but I couldn't do anything." His voice was filled with sadness and I placed my hand on Chris' well toned shoulder. All four of the Kings were gathered. So were Leeknow, and Prince Changbin. Mochi, Chris and I joined them, and the nine of us stood around her.

"Y/n?" I said quietly. I dropped to my knees by her bedside as her pale, lifeless face came into view. I couldn't lose her. Not when I had only just gotten her back.

"She's been unconscious for a week. She saved us all, and now we're not even sure if she's going to live." A painful lump formed in my throat as my father spoke. What if she never woke up?

"A-Appa? Does that mean, even if she wakes up, she will only live ad long as a human?" I asked in dismay. I wiped at my stinging eyes, as I stared at her lifeless body.

"Y-Yes my son." His warm hand settled on my shoulder, squeezing slightly to try and offer me comfort. "You know that means... You two cannot be together." My heart had finally had enough. I threw my head on the bed next to her and began wailing. Why was this world so cruel?

Yoonjun had robbed me of my love repeatedly and now, now I couldn't even get my revenge on him.

I felt a pair of arms around me, and someone else's warm face pressed into my back. It was Mochi. I turned and embraced him. I couldn't imagine what he was going through too. The bond between the pair of them was unbreakable.

But if she was human, they would be torn apart.

"I'm so sorry Prince Felix. I was busy and I didn't stop her. I told her n-not to do a-anything s-stupid!" He sobbed and we both held each other, trying to console the other.

The loss of y/n would devastate Eldoria and Anguard alike. Our Father's were also displaying an unusual level of affection. My Father had draped his arm around King Han's shoulder and was rubbing his arm.

"Don't apologise M-Mochi. You didn't do anything wrong." I rubbed his back gently as he sobbed and begged us to punish him for not stopping her.

I sat with Mochi, by her side, for the whole day. Even when it was time to sleep, we both sat next to each other. A comfortable silence had long fallen and neither of us wanted to break it.

"Get some sleep Prince. You aren't fully healed yet. The Eldridgian Oak tree is still recovering." He murmured quietly.

"I'm ok, I don't want to sleep, I want to be here the second she wakes up Jimin."

"Why did she do it? Why did she sacrifice herself like this?" He asked quietly. I frowned and stared at him, uncertain of how to answer the heavy question.

"She's stubborn, and has a good heart. She did it to save everyone. She's the most pure unselfish creature I have ever met. I wish I could do something to save her. I finally understand the last part of the prophecy." I said quietly. Jimin looked at me with a quizzical look on his face.

"A lifetime for one is but seconds for another. If she survives, we will never be able to have a life together." I closed my eyes tightly and rested my head on her mattress.

"I'm so sorry Prince Felix. I wish I could do something." He placed his hand on my back and I felt like I was about to throw up. How could I possibly ever live a life without y/n by my side?

How could I ever love anyone who wasn't my soulmate?

"What can I do Mochi? I only just got permission to be with her. Why is our fate so twisted and unfair. What did we do to deserve this?" I asked. I wasn't expecting him to answer. I was angry at the universe. It had chosen us to suffer in order for everyone else to live.

We had given up all that we had, and I was bitter.

Y/n's POV

I could hear the sound of gentle snoring and wondered who it was. My head was pounding as though I had been drinking for weeks and finally stopped. I opened my eyes and was greeted with Mochi's cute little nose right next to my face.

"M-Mochi?" I whispered. My throat was sore and my mouth was dry. How long had I been asleep for?

The small dog lifted his head and then got up and stretched. His tail began wagging furiously and I smiled. Dwaeji crawled up the bed and the two puppies began wrestling.

What kind of whacked out dream was that?

"God I have to lay off those films." I sat up in my bed and stretched my arms above my head. I could see the trees of the Eldridge forest swaying outside my window and I smiled.

Today was the perfect day to spend in the garden.

I sat on the picnic blanket and closed my eyes. Mochi was running around and barking, as he was chased furiously by Dwaeji. The two puppies always made me smile and I was lucky to have them.

I thought back to my dream, and wondered if someone like Felix existed in real life. He seemed like the perfect man, or elf, and I hoped one day I would find a soul mate like him.

The way he had protected me, and cared for me, and even put me in my place, it sent my heart racing and I sighed dreamily.

"One day y/n." I murmured to myself.

Felix's POV

I could see her, sat on her blanket. She was staring at the sky and her perfect, content smile was all I needed. My heart swelled with love for her, but the pain of losing her was unbearable.

She was finally safe. King Han had made her memories seem like a dream, and she would forget me. Everything we had shared over the past seven months would be forgotten, and I would be the one left with the pain of out relationship coming to an abrupt end.

One thing remained though, I would never forget her. She was the only woman I would ever love.

If I couldn't have her, I wouldn't have anyone. The royal bloodline would end with me.
