[TAMIKO]
"You don't mean that," Kosta said, and Tamiko sighed lightly.
"I can't live in a world that hurts you, Kosta. It is worse than living in a world without you. I keep trying to make things better between us, but nothing I do seems to be enough, does it?" Tamiko scoffed in disbelief.
Tamiko then threw down his sword, something that had the entire battlefield once again shocked.
There was no way anyone would have thought that the prince, the broken prince, the man whose name was enough to terrify the entire realm into submission, had set down his sword, that too on a battlefield that had his enemies ready to strike him down.
It made no sense.
And it was also something that had everyone staring at Kosta like this was his fault, but Tamiko didn't see it like that.
All he saw was a chance to set his Erasthai free.
A world without Kosta was cruel.
A world that hurt Kosta was insane.
The only way to make sure Kosta was free and no longer hunted was if Tamiko left.
