CHAPTER 54: THE BANDAGE FALLS FROM THE EYES

The council states that if there are any complaints, it will be the king who must give it to the council.

He was the one who neglected his human.

She can't come here to complain that she's been let go.

They expect great things from them.

So they end the meeting.

On the way to PANDORA's room, it is accompanied by SHURUI, he will remain by his side until he takes her in charge of the guardians of the villagers, yet asks PANDORA for permission to visit her.

They're walking, SHURUI notices the young lady's silence.

PANDORA's voice is a little off.

PANDORA thanks SHURUI for wanting to visit her, the young dragon, being a friend of all these years within a different world for her... has been a great support.

Ask SHURUI to visit her.

At the end of these words, PANDORA's voice breaks, wide tears roll down her cheeks, SHURUI takes the young woman's hand.

Ask if she'll be all right, now that she's leaving the castle?

PANDORA nods.

She feels a lump in her throat, her face looks blushing, the forces she's using not to break.

SHURUI hugs PANDORA.

He tells her that he will take care of her at all times when he does not need the advice of his presence.

She won't rest until she can smile again.

Her crying is sad and passive, without scandal.

PANDORA snuggles up in SHURUI's chest.

SHURUI is so focused on her that none of them noticed that RYU is coming down the aisle.

In the distance, RYU stops, anger, helplessness and guilt afflict him.

It hurts to see PANDORA in SHURUI's arms, but it also hurts to see her cry.

He's undecided whether he should approach or not.

As he turns around, he moves a small stone, SHURUI's good ear makes him turn around, he watches RYU walk away, he knows he saw PANDORA hugging him.

I wouldn't want RYU to think badly about this situation, but PANDORA cares more.

So he doesn't say anything.

SHURUI asks PANDORA what it's going to do.

The young woman, she has calmed down, she feels the touch of SHURUI's skin as a soft touch, she finds something subjective.

Her dear friend has thick, strong scales, it's as if he manipulated her scales so she always felt soft.

It would be a very SHURUI gesture.

PANDORA dulls a slight smile.

As he pulls his face away from the dragon's body, she tells him that he should only resign himself... during his life he learned that nothing is forever.

Remember that every time things went well, there was always something that caused that well-being to disappear.

This should not be the exception...

In addition, RYU must be under too much pressure with the position of KING.

SHURUI tells her that she is more important than all matters in the kingdom.

PANDORA caresses his friend's face, looking at one of his eyes, paying attention to the details of those dragon eyes, he finds them very beautiful.

The young woman appreciates that he thinks so of her, however, this is also something subjective.

She's one more citizen in the kingdom. maybe... (he puts a little pressure on his hands touching SHURUI, trying to contain himself, his voice takes a lot of seriousness) I was never his special person... just a beautiful pretext to contradict his father... it usually happens... she's going to go to the room.

SHURUI retains one of his hands.

Confess to PANDORA that no one has the right to play with anyone's feelings... nor make anyone believe that he was only the object of his whim.

He asks PANDORA to talk to RYU before he truly believes what he said.

At some point she'll see him, and at that moment, she'll know the truth.

RYU's been under a lot of pressure. He is too inexperienced to lead a kingdom, in fact, he is being forced to do so.

PANDORA looks at his friend, the young dragon wipes away his tears and accompanies her.

As they arrive in the room, PANDORA looks at her, every corner... especially that bed he shared with RYU.

It approaches the bedside table, inside it there are a few pieces of clothes, she keeps it inside the bag.

It also places all food inside the basket.

SHURUI tells you they have food there.

PANDORA wants to share those with the other villagers.

Take one of the flowers from the vase and place it on the bed.

Before you go out, take one last look.

They both come out of the room.

Near the exit, ryu is located.

He sees them approaching.

Look at PANDORA's bag of belongings and the basket that SHURUI carries.

Contrary, he approaches them.

PANDORA greets him with his smile, his eyes reflect sadness.

RYU asks if he'll quit?

PANDORA while still smiling, take a little breath before answering yes.

RYU is a king now, far from thinking it is helpful, PANDORA feels that it now represents a burden from which it will help him get rid of.

RYU walks to her.

PANDORA bites her lips, her jaw betrays her and feels she will break in tears.

She closes her eyes, refuses to shed a single tear, not in front of RYU.

RYU becomes human, takes him by the shoulders, she opens her eyes.

He asks you to be nice to her this time.

The surprised, he says he doesn't understand what she means.

PANDORA with some annoyance, tells her he forgot it.

He completely forgot about it... but, he thanks her for filling every hole in RYU's heart with the love she developed for her.

Even if it wasn't real...

RYU puts pressure on her shoulders, tells her yes, she's real, she loves her.

He asks you to tell him how to prove it!

PANDORA is confused, on the one hand, happy to hear that he said he loved her.

But, within his heart, he feels that this time, they are empty words.

Quietly, the young woman tells him that he cannot be a bird locked in a golden cage.

RYU, embarrassed, finally understands what she's felt all this time.
