|“No matter how much one moves on, the chains of the past will always bind one to the depths.”|




He was well aware of that. No one from those three individuals view their actions as mere game. They were willing to risk their lives for someone like him. In that fact, he knew they had their reasons which goes beyond their feelings of contempt towards him. The pure-blood heard the words of Fujiwara in retort to his statement about ending this bodyguard debacle. What he stated was not regarding about them, it was this play that the new Headmaster had created. That man was well-aware of what would happen. All of it was certain in anyone's point of view. This is why he was against such arrangements. Those people were his problem not theirs from the very beginning.

There was still concern about Fujiwara and Yamazaki's condition. However, he knew well enough not to confuse the two. Their hatred and their desire to see him pay for his travesty and crimes should not be tampered. Furthermore, Tsukino was there. He would be enough. Somehow, he was not completely at ease with that not due to the other pure-blood's skills. It was rather more about a preference which he did not want to dwell on in a very deep sense. Because truly, he had only one statement in his mind for what he knew was bound to happen between the two. “Don't drink...", these were the words that echoed at the back of his head which he dissuaded into nothing. For now, he allowed his thoughts to focus on one thing. It was the meeting with the Headmaster.

Soon, Zenith was inside the Headmaster's office. He approached the man's desk as his eyes of gold looked down with such emptiness. His face remained a blank, a facade which had been his trademark. However, Hughes was certain that there was more to that. In regards to this pure-blood, there had always been more to what meets the eye. “I do not need them." This was stated in his usual monotone voice as black eyes looked at the visage of the pure-blood unflinchingly. Hughes leaned on his chair and tilted his head to the side to study the one before him. There were also a few splatter of blood on that pristine white uniform. No use denying it. "As expected, those who want you dead attacked. Didn't they?"

A firm silence on the white pure-blood's side served as an answer which only made Hughes sigh. "That is why they are with you. They are your guards." Another moment of silence, Hughes could see that the pure-blood was also quite stubborn. Well, that trait was quite proven on many occasions. “This is my burden. I can protect myself. Remove them from my side." Taking a deep breath, he could see that the pure-blood was not going to relent this time. At the same time, he would need to see the conditions of the prefects. After all, he did say he would protect the safety of everyone here. "You're a student of this Academy. But, you are also a King."

Standing from his seat, those abyssal black eyes met those amber ones head-on. There was no gentleness but serious intentions and driving authority. "A symbol needed to be safe. Are you that fearful of them being dragged into your darkness?" Hearing this, Zenith showed something that would resembled of a reaction. His eyes narrowed but they remained empty from any sort of emotions. Seeing this, Hughes continued on knowing that the pure-blood still remembered the words he released during the school festival. "They're far stronger than you take them credit for. Or, is it that you are afraid of being dragged out of the darkness you surround yourself by them?"

Without ado, Zenith turned his back from the Headmaster. If the man would not fold, he will do something drastic to make it a point. The fact he does not need the prefects at all or to make them stay away from him at all cost. He was about to exit through the doors when Hughes speak. "Rosenkreuz-san, I will pull them out from their protection detail if you have someone who can protect you willingly and efficiently." Stopping from his steps, the pure-blood casually looked over his shoulder meeting those discerning black eyes. Nothing can be seen about him, he remained completely calm and empty for anyone's eyes. "But, you don't have anyone else but them, don't you?"

Returning his eyes forward to the doors, he simply closed his eyes for a moment before answering. “Remove them, I will have some else by my side." That was his departing statement as Zenith left the room. Hughes raised an eyebrow at those words. So, there was someone the pure-blood was willing to risk to protect him? Well, it was not going to be difficult if the pure-blood uses that. However, Zenith was too hard-headed to exercise such skills. In which, he wondered who was close enough to gain Zenith's trust and he was will to have by his side in time of danger. It was impossible for Alice. Well, he could only offer a small smile in thought. "You're that willing..." Releasing a small sigh, he stood from his chair. "I guess, it's time for me to see to those three then."



O could feel the anger boiling beneath the emotionless mask of his Master. They were connected after all. Technically, he was a part of his Master. A portion molded to have its consciousness but, still only a part of something big. In any case, this is why he wanted his Creator to abandon his wish all together. His Master will be more happy beside these people. He should just stay in this academy and enjoy a normal school life. However, similar to how his Master was bound to a past, he was also bound to his Master's will. There was no regret in that for O. He only hoped that there was more he could do than to watch his Master spiral further into the heart of the abyss.

A girl with long hair appeared, a pure-blood no doubt about it. O does not know this girl in any way. However, he does not sense any ill will coming from her. So, he simply stood beside Haruka watching them talk to each other if that was what one could describe it. It would be faster if the human does get on the female pure-blood. However, he was rather curious why the reaction was similar to that of drunk person or someone drugged. Could it be possibly from the dagger still on Haruka's body? The girl was stubborn and said she wanted to follow him. O knew that she was pertaining to his Master but she was not in the best condition to do so. Then, she shifted topics with saying he looked fluffy. His blue eyes blinked a couple of times in confusion. It would be better for him to stay with the human for the time being. "I will join you until I'm certain Ms. Haruka is out of harm's way."

The familiar stated towards the newcomer however, he was a bit worried when Haruka lost her balance. She must be very weak not to maintain her balance which was completely understandable. O looked at the human with those big blue of eyes of his filled with worry. Unlike his Master, he is willing to express countless emotions without much of a hindrance. Meeting those glazed eyes of hers, O knew that there was something else on that dagger. "She might be poisoned. We need to get her to the infirmary." After stating that, it was then she heard her words. She was wondering if he was crying inside. O was not certain who she was talking about but he has a good idea. He softly answered not knowing if the girl could hear it before she lost consciousness. "He never stopped crying ever since that day..."



Green eyes looked at the sky slowly turning into the black hue of the night. Golden hair were being played by the evening breeze but some remained as it was bound in a long braid. He released a rather disappointed sigh before standing from his position where he was lying on the grass earlier. "That boy only calls for me now." Shaking his head in disappointment, he shrugged his shoulders and looked at the black butterfly on his shoulder. "Oh well... what can I expect from the roses." He said to no one in particular as he dusted his clothes which resembled that of the Victorian ages in another time. Taking out a pocket watch, he opened it as a sweet melody played. He had a sad yet sweet smile on his face. As for the black butterfly, it slowly disintegrated into a small specks of light. "Here I go." With that said, he closed the pocket watch and went on his way.
