I’m Sorry/ Gone

The king was rushing down the hallways of Deprekia's palace, heading to the crown prince's room.

His majesty slowly opened the door only to notice the crown prince sitting on the corner of the bed.

He was lowering his head and holding it from both side by his hands, resting his elbows on his knees.

The king's gaze was caught by the two vases that were shattered on the ground and by Claudius' crown which was also broken in half and thrown carelessly on the floor.

Augustine did not utter a word, he just walked carefully on the broken glass and made sure not to hurt himself accidentally then he soundlessly sat behind the crown prince.

His arms smoothly found their way toward the crown prince's waist, as they got wrapped around it, making his majesty's chest press against Claudius' back.

Claudius at first flinched but just two seconds later he relaxed in the king's arms.

None of them said anything.
