Let me be lazy please!

Reine's POV

The first time I met him.... It was almost magical in a sense.

It was no wonder that Leo wouldn't remember me as the first time he met me, we were quite young

All the while during the small party I attended with my family, my attention was on that young boy who stood out from the rest, with hair as white as snow itself, it had attracted me without myself knowing , I was never able to see his face during the party and all I could get to know that day was his name- Leo

After that day, I always had him in my mind, he looked quite mysterious in some way for my younger self that I couldn't help thinking about the way he stood there- quite but calm, never with his family that he came in with, no communication whatsoever....

I had him in my mind for some time but as I had to take in the duty of being a prince, I gradually started to forget about him....that is until I met him again

The day I visited the siphenix household, I never imagined I would find him...

That day while sitting in the room assigned to me, looking out the window I saw the same white hair but this time longer and flowy , it had me captivated once more and before I could even process what I saw, he was already out of my site

I rushed outside only to see that there is not even a shadow of a person there

While returning back to my room, I asked the maids there if there was someone with white hair in that household and to my surprise they said the same name that I forgot years ago- Leo

While getting to know about Leo, the most I could get on his appearance was his eyes, everyone I talked to said his eyes were very beautiful and magical, which just caused me to be more impatient to meet him

When I finally thought I could see him, I heard he was bedridden, to say I was not worried would be a lie, because I was, I just didn't want to show it, so hoping for him to wake up some day I left him letters, and when one day I got a reply in the form of letter in his room and to see that it was from him, happiness filled through me

I wanted him to be curious about me so I never told him my identity, infact I actually liked the name he gave me,
'mysterious stranger '

After waiting for days to meet him, I finally got the chance, I saw him sitting in the garden, the scene looked so peaceful that I wished I could have been there and that was when I noticed his eyes for the first time , it was not at all like what people said ... It was beyond beautiful

I didn't want to destroy the peaceful scene in front of me so I simply watched from the shadows, that is until I saw him falling on to the floor

My body reacted before I could process, and I was there holding him and calling out his name

To see that he was un responsive, I was scared and from that moment onwards I decided to protect him

But I never expected that the day we would meet face to face for the first time would also be the day that I couldn't fulfill my oath of protecting him

To see him laying on the floor, beaten up by his father, all the emotions that I thought was never there suddenly rushed up on me

I wanted to kill everyone who had hurt him, and that was what I did to his father and his sister

Leo never knew that, and I didn't plan on letting him know, he was just a pure soul and I indented on keeping it that way

Taking him back to the palace was the best choice I had ever made in my life as I got to see the new side of him
- the fun side, always filled with smiles and laughter

Even though I knew about his constitution for magic, For me he was like a piece of glass - very fragile

I had allowed him all the freedom he could get until that one day when that bastard Erik had him

I didn't like anybody having what is mine, and to know that he touched my Leo threw all the patience I had out of the window

From that day onwards Leo was not allowed to do much things, I knew I shouldn't have done that but the fear of losing him made me do it

So the day he told me that he was going to leave me I felt my heart almost stop, and there was no way I couldn't have believed that when he was crying like that in front of me.

During the ball in the evening, my attention was all alone on him, I didn't even care about the music or people

I never expected anything severe to happen but all of it was proven wrong when I had him- my beloved in my arms, bleeding from his abdomen...

I couldn't hold my tears looking at the body in my arms, he was laying there, breathing heavily...

I felt the warm touch on my face and realised he was wiping my tears away, smiling

Looking over to the smile that looked forced yet relieved was when I realised,  I realised for the first time - he knew about it....he knew about the attack yet never did anything, he was ready to accept it....

It pained me to imagine how much my love had went through to be wanting to die even though he knew

I could feel his breathing slow down and the hand holding my face slowly slipping off until it hit the floor, his eyes closing slowly ... And all I held was the cold and lifeless body of the one who had my heart

I didn't hear the whispers or the looks of the people around me as I cried, hugging his lifeless body close to me

Even when my butler came to help me up, I couldn't, I just embraced his body tighter, our time together was too short...I didn't get to propose my love to him properly....I didn't get to see us married.... I didn't get to see us having our own little family....I wouldn't be seeing him smile anymore .....

Those thoughts broke me, broke me so much that I felt as if I was no longer who I was before, I could feel it and I'm sure everyone else felt it too, the humane part of me was gone...I became what people named me as.... I became the demon prince....never showing sympathy nor kindness..... 

Till my last breath, I was called that....and till my last breath I never forgot about the love of my life ....

Even before closing my eyes forever, I recalled the memory of him smiling, laughing, acting childish and staying beside me ....and finally my promise to him.....

I let the darkness take over me as I whispered my promise.....

" I will follow you to death....our love will be like the eternal snow....never fading away ...and slowly being accumulated in our heart...."

---------------------------------------------------------
That day, everyone in the palace mourned for their king, including Ximen who was given a work in the palace as per the request of Leo, looking at the figure laying in the casket , people could see a smile on the face of the demon king who had never smiled after the incident, he looked at peace... Their last king was now gone...He left no heir to the throne as his heart was always with his first love....someone the whole country had respected for being able to melt the prince's heart

The tragic love between the prince and the young master was known through out the country... Being told from small kids to full grown adult.... It always fascinated them to know how devoted the prince was towards his lover....never forgetting him till his last breath and never taking in someone else...always keeping his heart aside for his one true love - Leo
