Chapter 31: The Recovery

Sergio's POV Three days passed after the poisoning, and my body finally started to feel like my own again.The weakness in my limbs faded slowly, the fog in my head lifted, and the taste of the healer's bitter tonic became almost familiar. I still get tired easily, and I still slept more than I was awake, but each morning I woke up a little stronger than the day before.Leandro was not in the room when I opened my eyes.I did not know why that surprised me. He had been there every other time I woke, sitting in that chair with his golden eyes fixed on my face, watching me like he was afraid I might disappear if he looked away. But now the chair was empty, and the fire was low, and I was alone.A tray of food sat on the table beside the bed, and the bread was still warm, and the tea was still steaming. Someone had been here recently, and I knew it was not Leandro.The door opened, and Leticia slipped in

Chapter 32: The Kneeling

Sergio's POV The night after Leticia's visit, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, staring at the fire, when I heard footsteps in the hallway.The guards did not announce him. They did not need to, because I already knew the sound of his boots by now, with the steady rhythm of his steps, and the weight of his stride. I knew the way he paused outside my door, hesitating, before he decided to knock.He knocked this time which was rare. He never knocked, because obviously he's king, and he doesn't need to. "Come in," I said.The door opened, and Leandro stepped inside.Then I noticed instantly that his behavior was different, and the way he moved had become slow, as if he was calculating his steps. This time I was very sure that he was not drunk, because I could smell the difference immediately. There was no trace of wine, and no hint of the haze that had been in his eyes that first ni

Chapter 33: The Morning light

Sergio's POV I woke slowly, the way you wake from a deep and dreamless sleep, with no memory of where you are or how you got there. The blankets were warm, the pillows were soft, and there was something heavy and warm pressed against my back.Then I remembered Leandro.I opened my eyes, and the morning light was filtering through the window, pale and grey and soft. The fire had burned down to embers, and the room was cool, but I was not cold. I was not cold because his body was pressed against mine, his chest was against my back, and his arm draped over my waist.He was still here.He had not left in the night, and had not disappeared into the shadows like he always did before. He had stayed.I turned my head, and I found him watching me.His golden eyes were soft, softer than I had ever seen them, and there was no hardness in them, no coldness, and no mask. He was just looking at me, with his face relaxed,

Chapter 34: The Court notices

Sergio's POV The morning after Leandro left my room, I walked through the halls with the silver ring warm on my finger and the memory of his touch still fresh on my skin. I did not know if anyone could see the change in me, but I could feel it, deep in my chest, like something had been unlocked that I had kept closed for too long.The nobles watched me as I passed, and I expected the usual whispers, the usual sneers, and the usual cold stares. But something was different today. Their eyes lingered on me longer than usual, and some of them looked away when I caught them staring.They had noticed something.I did not understand what, until I saw Leandro.He was standing in the great hall, talking to one of the guards, and when he looked up and saw me, his face changed. His golden eyes softened, and the corners of his lips curved upward, just a little, and I saw something in his expression that I had never seen before.

Chapter 35: The Warning from Elara

Sergio's POV I found Elara in the library the evening after Ramiro's words had settled into my chest like stones. She was sitting in her usual chair by the window, with a book open in her lap, but her old brown eyes were not moving across the pages. She was staring out at the snow, watching the flakes fall against the darkening sky, and she looked older than I had ever seen her.She did not look up when I entered, and she did not speak. She just sat there with her silver braid hanging over her shoulder, and her hands resting on the pages of a book she was not reading.I stood in the doorway for a long moment, trying to find the words. My mouth was dry, my throat was tight, and my hands were shaking the way they always did when I was afraid."I need to talk to you," I said.Elara set her book aside, and the sound of it closing was soft, almost gentle, but it echoed in the silence like a stone dropped into sti

Chapter 36: The Question About the past

Sergio's POV The days after Elara's warning passed slowly, and I found myself watching Leandro more than I used to. I watched the way he moved through the halls, the way he spoke to the guards, and the way he sat on his throne with his golden eyes scanning the room like he was looking for threats that no one else could see. He was always alert, always waiting, and always ready for something to go wrong.I had seen him sleep only a handful of times, and even then, his rest was restless. He would twitch and murmur, and sometimes he would wake with a gasp, his golden eyes wide and his hands reaching for something that was not there. I never asked what he dreamed about, because I was afraid of the answer.But I knew that his past haunted him. Three hundred years was a long time to carry wounds that never healed. He had been through three hundred years of watching, waiting, and never letting anyone close enough to

Chapter 37: The hidden library

Sergio's POV The days after my conversation with Leandro about his father left me restless. His words echoed in my head, and the image of his golden eyes, that were dark with pain, followed me everywhere I went. He had lost his father to betrayal, to a human who had pretended to be his friend, and I could not stop thinking about what that must have felt like.I needed to understand.Elara had told me that knowledge was power, and I had spent too long being powerless. I had spent my whole life not knowing, not asking, and not pushing, because asking questions only ever led to pain. But this was different. This was not about my father or my past or the people who had hurt me. This was about Leandro, and I needed to know what had made him into the man he was.The castle was vast, and I had only seen a fraction of it. There were corridors that stretched into darkness, staircases that led to towers I had ne

Chapter 38: The Truth About the Betrayal

Sergio's POV I found Elara in her chambers the morning after I discovered the hidden library. She was sitting by the window, with a cup of tea in her hands, and her old brown eyes were staring out at the snow. She looked tired, and older than I had ever seen her, and I wondered if she had been waiting for me to come.She did not look up when I entered, but she spoke anyway."You found it," she said. "Didn't you?"I closed the door behind me, walked to the chair across from her, and I sat down. The fire crackled in the hearth, and the shadows danced on the walls, and I could hear my own heartbeat in the silence."The hidden library," I said. "The book about Leandro's father. About Aldric."Elara closed her eyes, and she set her cup down on the table beside her. Her hands were shaking, just a little."I was wondering when you would find it," she said. "I hoped you would not, but I knew you would.

Chapter 39: The Silent Comfort

Sergio's POV I found Leandro in the library again that evening, the main library, not the hidden one.He was sitting in a chair by the window, with his golden eyes staring out at the snow, and his hands were limp in his lap. He looked tired, his shoulders were tense, and I could see the weight of everything pressing down on him.He did not look up when I entered, but I knew he knew I was there. His breathing changed, just a little, and his hands curled into fists on his knees.I walked to the chair beside him, and sat down.Neither of us spoke, and the only sounds were the ones from the fire as it crackled in the hearth, and of the wind, as it howled outside the window, rattling the glass in its frame. The silence between us was heavy, and thick with everything we were not saying.He knew I had found the book. He knew I had read about Aldric, about his father, and about the betrayal that had shaped hi

Chapter 40: The Nightmare (Sergio's Father)

Sergio's POV We walked to my room together, and his hand stayed in mine the whole way. The guards bowed their heads as we passed, the torches wavered as light breeze flowed through the hallway, and the shadows danced on the walls. Leandro stopped at my door, and he looked at me for a long moment. I thought he might say something, but he did not. He just squeezed my hand, let go, and turned to walk away. I watched his back as he walked away, and his footsteps echoed in the hallway. Then I took a deep breath, went inside, and I closed the door behind me, and I lay down on the bed. The sheets were cool against my skin, and the fire was low, and the room was quiet. I closed my eyes, and I listened to the sound of my own breathing, as I waited for sleep to come.It came faster than I expected, and with it came the nightmares.The dream came without warning, and it swallowed m
