91: A song of sorrows (7)

~Laith~

Prince Zephirin no longer wished to be the deposed crown prince. He fears he isn't powerful enough to protect our love from the sidelines. 

In his opinion, the only way to ensure that the world accepts two men in love with each other is when the king administers a decree allowing same-sex relationships. 

His father, King Midir couldn't be made to care about him falling for Ywain which is why he gave him the go-ahead for the engagement. However, his being with an Incirion is cause to raise alarms in the nation. 

Prince Zephirin intends to become king to protect me. In his mind, it's the only way we can be together and stay in the palace. 

All the strong powers of Liradia had assembled in the palace to discuss our relationship. The news of our affair had spread like wildfire, some servants of the palace caught the scene of the two of us kissing at the dinner Prince Caelan hosted.
