Second Person's POV

Huh?
Definition of weakness?
Pierce looked at Varon who's simply looking at his swinging snake tail.

"At Medonax... things weren't as great as it sounds.. Men abused by women who's a level before , not to mention about the whole races... I have witnessed the people suffered behind these walls. I attempted to talk to the ministers , yet all they have for me was disgusted glances and me being escorted to my room by force-!"
Varon have his face buried in his hands.

"I thought being strong and able to protect Sunny from all of this would just... I wanted Mother to give me a bit of attention rather than my twin. I just... forgotten flaws were a thing.. I was overly focused on perfection and bringing rightful reputation for myself.. While you..! You speak through actions , you fight so...greatly.. Every blow and attack ... it reminded me that... I'm not meant to be built perfect.."
Varon said as Pierce patted him on the head.

"But... In my view... you are."
Varon looked at Pierce who said that aloud.

"Although you acted a bit like Asch , but.. you are kind.. I see that when you hurt yourself rather than letting Noi taking the damage. I have also noticed your change of attitude. You wanted a change of your life and I find that unique of you."
"Gosh , you with the words..."
Varon looked down as Pierce noticed the prince's ear tips became red , even concerning if he was sick.

"Sick? Pfft , nonsense. I-I would heal myself I ever get sick."
Varon said as Pierce's hand suddenly grabbed to his , panicking the prince.
"W-What are you even doing?!"
"Your skin was burning up... Are you sure you're fine , your highness?"
Varon looked at Pierce's large hand holding to his as he felt he was about to explode right there , while Pierce looked at him with concerning eyes still.

"... That's one thing about us , either I'm acting delusional or you're acting dense."
Pierce blinked his eyes confused , before Varon stood up and walked off , not noticing the dragged along Pierce whose hand was still grabbing to his. 

Definitely not noticing Pierce behind him , Varon muttered out loudly , "Are demons even that dense? That's not what Mother mentioned about them..."
"Dense about what?"
"The whole ro-"
Varon turned to find Pierce , and questioning with why he had followed him , which resulted with Pierce looking down to the two hands that were held tight.

Before Varon could scream and throw away the held hand , the sound of creaking metal from guards startled the two as Varon grabbed Pierce's hand tight and both hid behind the pillars covered with decorative vines.

"When was it again?"
"What?"
"The assassination of those things."
"Tonight , Queen's orders. We kill them in pure silence."
Varon widened his eyes upon the news as he hid his body more behind the pillar as the guards walked pass them.

"Giving them a lullaby to eternal slumber? That ain't fun.."
"D-Did they leave , your highness?"
"Yea , you can come out now."
"...I can't."
Before Varon questioned , he noticed himself pinning the Daemos general to the pillar , with his chest pressed to his. With the faint moonlight in , it will really bring up the atmosphere.

"Ah- Yesh- A-Apologies for that..."
Varon let go of his hand and completely stepped back , claiming to be in a rush to tell the other Daemos about the plan of his mother.

"Wait."
Varon was pulled by Pierce and was pinned to the pillar. Varon attempted to scold his misbehavior yet was mesmerized by the cooling blue colour of Pierce's eyes.
Varon gulped as he find Pierce moving closer. Before Varon could let it in , a person decided to interrupt their moment.

"Eh... Am I interrupting?"
Varon froze as he turned to find Noi stood there. Feeling raged , he went towards the salmon haired demon and attempt to end his life. 
Pierce calmly walked towards the boy , with his hand patted on the prince's head , only to felt a sudden sharp pain before was removed.
