NovelTrueRousse did, in fact, keep watching her until she disappeared from his sight "I admit I was skeptical anyone would stay with you, with that grumpy temper of yours," Zarek snorted, looking out at the bustle in the square. "If someone accepted you, you bitter, bloodthirsty bastard, why not me?" Rousse shot back with that disrespect he always showed when they were alone. Now that he'd recovered his memories... it was worse. The corner of Zarek's mouth twitched, in a good mood.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe didn't seem to hate him... or so he thought. Even so, his expression darkened again. "I couldn't save her, no matter how hard I tried. There are souls ---- that just... fracture too much," he lowered his head and confessed in a hoarse voice. The morning air lashed at them both. The smell of iron and fire whipped on the breeze. "It's fine. I think it was for the best. She wouldn't have liked to cback like that...
she was very vain about her looks, remember?" Rousse's voice was tinged with melancholy. He practically didn't remember his former mate's face anymore, only vague memories. "I remember. She was always too pretty for a man as rough as. you... Meridiana is beautiful too. Sugly guys have all the luck "Pft, what a shitty apology..." Rousse snorted, and again an awkward silence fell between them. "Rousse, I..." "I don't want to talk about it. I understand your reasons for hiding it from me...
and I don't blyou for other people's rotten hearts..." The general looked him straight in the eye. "But if you hadn't opened your doors to me..." Zarek turned toward him, frowning. He'd had that thorn stuck in him for millennia without healing. ---- "They would've found us anyway; we were elementals far too naive. You gavemy vengeance by slaughtering them." Rousse was right, but that didn't lighten the guilt. "My family was supposed to have it under control..." the prince sighed.
They were royalty. His mother should have brought all her power down on the other supernatural beings, controlled them, taken better care of the elementals... Sigrid discovered it was all a gof lies and power. "You fought. I saw you. And even if you think it wasn't worth it, I do think your rebellion made a difference, that at least you cracked the Goddess's eyes open a bit..." "Tsk, that bitch..." Zarek clicked his tongue in annoyance. The sun suddenly slipped behind the clouds, a bad omen. Rousse pulled a sarcastic face. He didn't even know why such a vengeful Goddess let him talk to her like that, so damn disrespectfully. "Anyway, don't go soft on me. I'm not used to it, and I might start thinking you were in love. Vampires tend to play for both ---- teams." Rousse mocked Zarek a little, earning the prince's signature death glare. Yes, Rousse had definitely remembered how he used to get along with him in the past. "See? That's better, you stuffy bloodsucker." He even called him by that nickname, forgotten by time. Zarek's eyes went wide when Rousse's index finger snapped lightly under his chin, and he saw the faint smile on his face. He had even forgotten his friend's smile and that gesture he always made to tease him when he ate like a pig at his house. A knot tightened in the cold vampire prince's chest.
"Csee the army your daughter created." Rousse turned, went down the steps, and motioned for him to follow. He went back to the seriousness of being his general, but this tit wasn't just the emotionless armor. "I can look for eyes for her... give her back her sight," he said suddenly. "I'll ask her, and if Meridiana wants it, then I'll be collecting payment for all those wars I fought for you without getting a ---- single coin," Rousse replied, not turning as he set off again.
"Ugh, tsk, tsk... I preferred you when you were more obedient and didn't talk back," Zarek muttered the biggest lie of his life as he followed him. Deep in his chest, he was so happy; free of the weight that had been tormenting him. Meridiana had given Rousse back the piece he hadn't been able to complete in his soul. So Zarek would look for the most beautiful eyes he could find for her and make her see the world again.
