"I have done something that should be sentenced with death," Kaoru looked straight in his eyes and said.
"Did you really? Those who entered were weak, Eureka said. And that one guy who those other kids fought actually was just waiting outside. You didn"t let those strong ones enter. Those who entered could be defeated instantly if one of the generals see them. Eureka said that the reason no one found out that she had been in a fight was because you had placed a barrier around them, but why allow them to take her? When you know that she is strong enough to defeat them? She said that it is because you yourself aren"t sure of what side you really should take. You know that she had deliberately let them take her, but you didn"t say anything. So tell me if both of you went out today, where will you bring her?"
Kaoru fell into deep thought. Indeed he had betrayed the kingdom. He told the enemy about Eureka being smart enough, he had let some of them slip in, but when he acknowledged that he would take Eureka, he was not sure whether to really take her to them or not.
"To be honest waking up today I was really mad at her thinking she had listened to you and took your side, but at the same time relieved that my plan was stopped."
"Then what had they let you see?" Akihiro asked returning to the real topic.
"All the things you could call a nightmare for someone who had fallen in love. They showed me how you had taken her away, how you never took care of her, and how you allowed her to die," Kaoru answered honestly.
"Do you really feel that I"m that kind of person? Even without your memory?" Akihiro emotionally asked.
"I actually don"t know, I don"t know who they were when they approached me. But if you truly know in your heart that you loved someone, then without your memory you would still be enraged upon seeing how mistreated she had been," Kaoru replied.
"Does that mean that the past you really didn"t love your brother?" Akihiro asked, he"s currently hurt, he truly loved this younger brother of his, after all.
"I think I might have been jealous, I do love my brother but I can also feel jealousy. Even awhile ago when I thought she had betrayed me, I was once again feeling jealous."
Kaoru smiled bitterly before continuing, "In reality I hadn"t lost all my memories. There was only a 5 year blank in my memories. I wonder why would the past me do that?"
"Maybe you should read that letter before you can find the answers," Akihiro replied.
Kaoru looked down at the bunch of parchment Eureka left. He then looked up, "Are you going to watch me read it?"
"That depends on you, if you need support then I shall quietly stay by your side," Akihiro replied.
"You should just go and leave me," Kaoru not looking at him said.
"Well then, take your time to read everything," Akihiro replied turning to leave.
"Are you not worried that I would take this chance to escape?" Karou once again said.
"Will you?" Akihiro asked looking back at him.
Kaoru looked back at him.
"Will you disappoint that girl? That girl who"s trying to stop you right now?" Akihiro asked seriously.
Kaoru lowered his head and could only shake it, "I cannot, if that girl didn"t arrive I would have lead this kingdom, that caused Haruka so much pain, to destruction. And I wouldn"t have cared. But seeing her determination to save it, I just couldn"t keep on endangering this kingdom."
Kaoru could only smile bitterly.

"Her coming here is truly a blessing then," Akihiro finally said before leaving Kaoru behind.
Kaoru thought as he flip the first page.***To Kaoru, years from now. I don"t know when you might end up reading this, but when that time comes it only means that you or someone found it. I have a feeling right now that I"ll be taken or something, it is a bad feeling. So sealing my memories from the time the twins died until separating with her is the best option, not just because I want to protect her but also because I want to protect the kingdom. It"s better to have nothing that way even if they try memory read they won"t see anything cause so many important things have happened within this 5 years. In this letter I"ll be explaining to you what had happened for the past 5 years, and whatever circ.u.mstances your in right now, just remember that we care for this kingdom just as much as we care for our brother.***
From then Kaoru read about when Haruka had miscarriage with the twins, and how the higher ups started getting impatient of Haruka not becoming pregnant, how it caused both Haruka and Akihiro so much stress that the two of them started breaking down, until Haruka decided to leave for the sake of Akihiro and herself. At the same time the fact that Haruka was the princess of Archic Kingdom and that she is the best evidence in thwarting the silent rule.
***If ever you doubt your own feelings, just remember we would never be jealous of our brother if we never loved him deeply. He took care of us more than our parents, and we watched him and Haruka be happy together and that happiness caused us to be happy as well. Never forget that.***
Tears welled up in his eyes, truly he truly is stupid isn"t he?

"You do love this place didn"t you?" Raven asked as he stood beside Eureka facing her.
He was actually baffled, his father upon seeing him told him to go and find Eureka. He didn"t explain anything but just said that she needed a companion right now.
And looking at her right now, she really looks like she wants to break apart.
Eureka faced him took a step towards him and, "Let me be like this for a while, let me stay like this for a while."
She rest her head on his chest, just like that the gloomy weather suddenly became gloomier as it started raining really hard.
"You need-" before he could finish what he was about to say, she clenched his s.h.i.+rt so tight.
"Eureka," he could only say as she started crying silently.
Eureka thought as tears kept falling from her eyes.Standing close to where they are, Feena, Karen and Azusa couldn"t help but cry seeing this weakened state of hers. Hideyos.h.i.+ and Mamoru could only stand there watching over them.
Not far from all of them stood Akihiro and Yukimura.
"Do you think she"s crying?" Yukimura asked, the place they"re standing at couldn"t really see what"s going on.
"Sometimes you also need the strength to cry in order to keep standing strong, if she don"t cry now she wouldn"t be able to continue fighting," Akihiro answered.
"But it is unexpected," he then said.
"What is?" Yukimura asked.
"You actually had your son accompany her," Akihiro replied still watching them.
"I couldn"t possibly comfort that girl, could I?" Yukimura asked.
"How sure are you that when she went out a while ago she would need comforting?" Akihiro asked once again.
"Who knows, it just seemed like she was running away awhile ago. She didn"t look like someone who simply just went out, but instead someone who wants to cry," Yukimura answered.
"You noticed as well I see. Everyone thought she was strong and uncaring, it was all due to the strength she had been showing all this time, how she can be clear despite the circ.u.mstances, how she can judge a situation. And yet all of us forget that she is also a girl carrying not just one but a lot of worlds problem in her shoulder," Akihiro once again said.
"Eureka, just who are you?" Raven asked as he stood there letting her cry as much as she can.
"Someone, someone who never should have been born," she answered as once again she tried to stop her sobs from coming out.
that"s all he could think of after hearing her answer.
