------------------------------------------------------------

Today was the day....

It had been 5 days since Leo was brought back from the clutches of the villain Erick according to everyone else, and they were more than happy as their prince was no longer in a bad mood..but they were not sure if that was the case for Leo or not

Leo had been shut down from doing almost everything, yes he should be happy knowing he could simply lay on the bed and be lazy but no! The god damnit body he was occupying had no what so ever memory of being lazy causing him to not feel lethargic

Sighing, he opened the door knowing what to expect

"Young master Leo, is there anything you need?" One of the guards stationed to guard his room asked

"I want to go out" Leo spoke in a very irritated voice

"This guard apologises to young master but I was received of the duty to not let you out of the castle halls by his royal highness"

"Of course...." Leo muttered under his breath and closed the door to his room

He had been locked up in a cage like a bird, no scratch that he had been locked up in a double cage, one his room and other the castle

He did take out his anger by cussing the hell out of the prince to bella, who just simply took everything

But then again he had to go with it as today was finally the day he could leave this world.

While thinking about leaving the world he though of all the things that had happened in this world and the people he have met, causing him to be disturbed as there were people he liked in this world

"*Sigh* bella...." he called out to his system almost helplessly

[Yes host?]

'.....Do you think.....I should...like go meet them for one last time?'

Leo knew that the emotions he was feeling at the moment was due to imagining the people he cared for in pain of knowing that he was no longer going to be there, it was not that he cared if people would miss him or not but the character 'Leo' was going to be permanently erased.

[If host wishes to do so]

'Alright'

Knowing what he should do, he got up from the bed with determination in his eyes as he walked towards his door for the second time

Opening the door the guard once again asked him if there was anything he required

Shaking his head he replied "No, but I would like to meet the prince"

The guards were given permission to allow Leo to meet with the prince so they simply took him towards him

Standing outside the door, the guard knocked once and spoke

"Young master Leo request to speak with your grace"

Not even a minute has passed and a husky voice replied from inside

"Let him in"

Nodding the guard opened the door and let Leo enter into the room, as Leo entered he saw the person who had locked him up in the castle leisurely sitting on the bed and reading a book

Noticing Leo's presence, Reine withdrew the book and faced him with a smile

"What is it my love?"

Oh how badly Leo wanted to take that smile of off his face but remembering that today was his last day here he could only control his emotions as he gazed at the prince for a while before speaking

"...I wish to see somebody"

Hearing the response, Reine raised one of his eyebrows before asking

"Who might that be?"

"Ximen" Leo replied without hesitation

Now the prince was really interested to know why his lover would want to visit his previous Butler

"And why is that you want to meet with him?"

"...I cannot tell you"

"Then I cannot allow you permission"

Leo knew that the prince would not allow him to go out without a good reason but then again his heart wouldn't allow him to lie to him on their last day...

"...Please Reine ...." He spoke looking down, almost in a whisper

But the prince had caught on to it and frowned, it was not everyday that his love would ask him for something and today he seemed really desperate to meet that butler

As much as he didn't want to send Leo, he knew he had to by looking over to his lover

" ...Alright, you can go see him, but you need to be back before evening"

Hearing the sudden positive response, Leo was stuck in his place for a moment before smiling and replying a thank you and heading out of the room

The carriage took him towards the area Ximen lived in, he was able to reach the location from his memory of his visit to his house

Asking the person who was in charge of the carriage to stop a few distance away, he got down and walked over to the house

Hesitantly knocking, he waited for some one to open the door

After a minute or so, the door was slowly opened, revealing a tired looking Ximen

As soon as Ximen saw Leo, he was beyond surprised

"Leo..? what are you doing here?! How did you come ? Wait- come in first!"
Ximen hurriedly spoke, making Leo a little relaxed

Sitting inside the house, Leo spoke with Ximen and his mom and came to know about their circumstance after Leo was taken to the palace, it seemed that Ximen was looking around for work, but was unable to get any

Leo continued on talking and decided to leave as it was almost evening

Ximen followed Leo up to the entrance to send him off

Seeing that they were alone, Leo took out the pouch he was carrying all the while and gave it to Ximen

"...this is all I have for now that I can give" Leo spoke

Ximen who took the pouch was confused as to what it was but the expression later turned to surprise to see gold in the pouch

"L-Leo? W-what is all this about?"

"Since the moment you became my butler you have taken care of me like a brother and I couldn't be any more happier so knowing that I have caused you to not have a work has caused me pain and least I could do right now was to give you your share of income for the time you have worked under my household but I promise you Ximen, I will help you find some sort of work ask until then please take this money and use it for your mother's and your needs"

Leo spoke with a small smile

"L-Leo...thank you so much! I would never forget this kindness you have shown to me and my mother " Ximen replied with tears in his eyes

Thought out his life, he had faced all the hardships one could and even thought that he was going to loose his mother- the only person he cared for, that is until he met Leo, he cared for him and even helped his mother, there was no way he could be less happier

Taking one last look at Ximen, Leo got on the carriage and took off....

While on the carriage he thought 'Ximen is done,...the only remaining person....*sigh* he is going to be harder'
