Subject: Goodbye, my friend
To my prince,
By the time you read this, my prince, I will already be long gone and by now, you will also be learning why.
I know you hate goodbyes, so I'm kind of glad you're not with me because this is my goodbye letter, just in case you happen to get this letter. I have to tell you that whenever I saw you during my father's visits to the palace or the seasonal palaces, I didn't want to get close to you, to not get attached because it would be more painful for me to say goodbye. But I failed. It's too hard not to see your face everywhere I look now. I found myself being stranger than the empire would ever allow. I saw the days pass together (most of them, anyway). You were the light that drove me to become the person I am today.
I admit, I've had my problems, such as fights with people I cannot change, but they only ever lasted a few days. The one argument I have ever had that took me far away from seeing you was when my father grew angry with me for failing to protect Andreus. I have decided to leave behind my old life while finding a new one that would give me some kind of meaning in life. My father was a constant threat to me, so running away was the best choice I could ever make, and if you were to learn the truth, you would have tried to stop me at all costs. But thank you for all the times when I have been upset because of my family, and your response was to bring two tubs of frozen blood ice cream and some hot chocolate, and you stayed with me all the time while I was upset, which always made me feel better.
You know, there are so many memories that I can't even fit into a book, so many laughs, cries, smiles that are all engraved into my heart. They will last forever, even if I am not there with you physically. You have always found the best in me and simply for that I feel blessed; not blessed for having you, but blessed for knowing you were by my side through everything.
I've come to term with the fact that I will never see you again. I know it will be incredibly more painful for me than it will be for you, but when I am gone, take a deep breath and start a new day smiling, knowing that I am watching over you. I know things will get extremely painful and strange at first, but promise me one thing? That you, Cheonsa, will never change who you are. You are simply the most remarkable, handsome person I know, but I do need to tell you something though because I think you deserve to know.
What I did may be held accountable as unforgivable... I wouldn't blame you. You have shown me what love is and what it feels like to be loved. Every time we hung out, I could feel it; I got the same magickal feeling as our first time. You are the beat of my heart, the soul in my body; you are me because without you I am nothing. I love you, Kěith. You are my best friend. You are the person I know I could turn to when I needed help - you are the person I looked at when I needed to smile and you are the person I went to when I needed a hug. When I amaway, it is like I have left my soul at your side.
You have shown me how to live and you have shown me how to be truly happy. I want you to know that every time I smile, you have put it there. You make me smile when others can't, you make me feel warm when I am cold. You have shown me so much love and so much more. I want you to know how much you mean to me. You are my whole world and I love you with all my heart. You are my happiness.
Every night I spent at home, I had an imageography crystal of us resting on my headboard. Each night I would go to bed, kiss my fingers, then touch the crystal. I put the crystal over my bed so you could look over me as I slept. Well, now it is my turn to look over you as you sleep and keep you safe in your dreams. I will always be looking over you to make sure you're safe.
Kěith, I want to say something and I mean this more than I ever did before. You were the love of my life, the prince of my dreams. Just because I have run away does not mean I am not with you. I'll always be there looking over you, keeping you safe. So, whenever you feel lonely, just close your eyes and I'll be there, right by your side. If it is possible still to feel love after one has gone, then, certainly, I will love you for all eternity, for you are the treasure in my life and I shall cherish you for all time.
Anyway, Kěith, I'm going. I love you and will always remember you. Go and make something amazing with your life. Also, if you ever hit a tough stage in your life, just get a tub of blood ice cream and come sit in our favorite hideout and cry your heart out. I will always be listening. I know that sounds weird, but if you're upset, I want you to talk to someone about it...me! Please, my handsome friend. Thank you for the most amazing 118 years I could ever ask for!
Sincerely,
Soveliss
Around Tilelt 5th of 1832 EoL, Duke Andreus Sangelfique was assassinated at the hands of a werewolf. It remains unknown if it was related to the war or just a random occurance, but the Itude Empire did not take any chances.
The death of Andreus drove Duchess Sangelfique insane as well as pushing Duke Alestar into a path of abusing his son, Soveliss for failing to protect his older twin brother. Just twenty days after the abuse began, Soveliss mysteriously disappeared with his younger brother, Heian. It is said that they were captured by the Flight Academy, but no proof has been found.
