The Crown Prince's Love

Desmond sighed, placing his hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry," he muttered. "I just felt that this happened because of me, and this wouldn't have happened if only I hadn't made that deal with Hecate. You might think I'm acting like this because I want to, but I have to tell you I..." He paused. "I am sorry for acting this way, Randy." Lying on the ground, he wrapped his arms around me. "I just want this to be over so we can return to our lives, and we wouldn't have to worry about anything else."

"Oh, Desmond," I muttered, turning to face him and wrapping my arms around his waist. "I love you so much that it hurts to think something might happen to you. No, I don't blame you for what happened with Hecate. She's a manipulative bastard, and she did all of this for me to lose hope in you. But I'm not going to do that because you are mine forever, and I won't let anything else come between us." I smiled at him, raising my head. "Everything will surely be alright."

"I love you," he kissed my forehead. "Rest now, and I'll wake you up once it's time to move."

I nodded, resting against him and embracing him tightly. "I love you too."

The next time I woke up, Desmond was tapping my shoulder. Stretching and yawning, I noticed the sun still shining brightly. It seemed like time hadn't changed in the realm. "Desmond," I murmured, rubbing my eyes and looking up at him.

"Here," he offered his hand, pulling me up.

"Are you alright?"

Yawning again, I nodded and looked at him. "Did you get some sleep?" "No, I couldn't sleep."

Sighing, I took his hand. "You don't have to worry about all of this. We are surely going to be alright," I reassured him. "I can't believe I slept off, thinking you also slept. I am a bad lover." I muttered, rubbing my hands together.

Hésorlucriéu, priorhiïginy unleer! Conneron, pumprir, wenntaveranong journey itryo. We better start walking now," he said, dragging me behind him. "So," he continued, pointing to the valley, "now that we are at the valley, we should look for the entrance."

"No need to look any further," I pointed to the opening entrance that resembled the cave we had entered upon reaching the realm. "I believe there will be some steps that will lead us to the other side."

"We better start moving," Desmond said, and we walked toward the entrance. Looking back, I hoped to see any sign of Anthony, but he was nowhere in sight.

I wondered if something had happened to him, but I looked forward to seeing him again. With him, the journey might be easy.

~Desmond's POV~

"Watch where you put your feet!" I shouted to Randy as we started climbing the valley.

It was hard even to walk perfectly because the steps were not straight, and that was not all; it was dark, and the only glint of light we could rely on was the light that had penetrated one of the holes in the valleys walls. It was challenging to walk perfectly, and holding onto the wall was our only support.

"soon, we will reach the other side," Randy assured me and laughed. "And then, we will return with the sword, and it will spell the end for Hecate."

I should have been laughing alongside him, but I didn't find the urge to laugh because I thought about many things that could go wrong. I feared something dangerous might happen to us in the valley because Anthony had mentioned something about a boiling valley, but I had not seen anything related. I was starting to get worried about what could go wrong.

"are you alright? You are not......ah!" he screamed as he tripped and fell.

"Randy!" I shouted his name and rushed towards him to grab his hand just in time while my other hand was against the wall holding it firmly. "hold onto me and never let go!" I shouted at him and gritted my teeth as I felt my hand up against the wall shaking furiously. Even my whole body was shaking because my legs were not placed perfectly. The steps were not straight, so I bent my legs when I knelt to save Randy. "please don't let go of me!" Randy shouted to me.

'I will never do that!" I shouted back at him, assuring that I would hold onto him until the end. "you don't have to worry about it; I am going to make sure that you are fine!" "please do," he begged.

I closed my eyes as the pain became unbearable. I could feel it spreading throughout my body, and my hands were begging me to free Randy, but I couldn't.

Releasing him would only mean that he might end up dead and I would never do that to him. "just hold on tight and I will try to pull you up."

"okay!"

What do I do? The space was cramped, and it would only fit up to two people, even though I succeeded in pulling Randy up.

What do I do? I questioned myself again as I tried to pull him. If I could pull him up, I could end up falling. One of us had to sacrifice ourselves for the other, and It was much worse since I couldn't see what was below us.

The ground cracked open as if it was listening to my voice and what appeared, made me scream out loud, except that it was not only my scream that sounded in the valley.noveldrama

"The boiling fire!" Randy shouted as his grip on my hand became tighter. "please don't let go," he begged again.

He should have known that I would never do that to him, but I couldn't blame him because it was dire. The boiling fire was below us, and it was burning hot. I could feel the sweat trailing down my face and knew it would be worse for Randy, who was close to the fire. His whole body must be on fire because the fire was rising every few seconds, and it would soon swallow us.

What do I do? I questioned myself again and felt the tears streaming down my face.

I had to decide at that moment because it was the only thing to save us, and I knew I had to do something. If one of us died there, one could still carry along. It would still be better than the both of us dying right there.
