Chapter Seven

After that day in the woods, Rin noticed Midori’s noticeable change in behavior. He couldn’t blame him. A strange sense of unease began to fill him as the villages they passed became bustling towns. He’d expect a country boy to be filled with wonder at the busy sight and buildings, but Midori remained silent behind him. Rin even gave up on useless chatter when Midori replied with clipped and curt sentences.

To his credit, Midori never complained. It would’ve been easier if the moon prince would scream at him or beat his fists against him so Rin knew Midori hated him and wanted to be rid of him as soon as possible.

The odd thing was, Midori wasn’t mad at Rin. Even though he’d have every right to hate the man who plucked him from his home and toyed and tormented him constantly. The hateful man who’d present him to another man like an object with no will.

Rin’s own heart threatened to crack every time Midori would clutch his waist tighter or how sometimes he’d press his head against Rin’s back. As if he thought Rin didn’t notice these little gesture, but Rin did notice.

He could almost taste the other man’s loneliness and despair and his first reaction was to comfort Midori. To bring him close to him and tell him they should turn back. They could live as vagabonds, live somewhere far and away from the lands of the empire.

Rin didn’t do any of these things. He had his duty and he couldn’t betray his prince. Not Prince Mori who he played, hunted and grew up with. They were inseparable and even went to their first brothel together for their first time. He’d sworn to protect and serve Mori for the rest of his life. The prince was a good man and would make a good emperor someday.

He could see the wolf inside him staring at him with clear disapproval in its yellow eyes. It didn’t like his decision one bit, but then the wolf didn’t and couldn’t fully comprehend the complications of the world of men.

“What’s he like?” Midori asked the night they camped on the hill overlooking the capital.

He didn’t look at Rin when he spoke. His huge ebony eyes were trained on the series of glittering pagodas and spires of the Jade Palace beyond them, which were alit with hundreds of colorful lanterns.

Rin was surprised by the sound of his soft voice. Midori hadn’t spoken for a long time, and Rin was almost afraid he’d gone mute. “You mean, Prince Mori?”

Midori nodded absentmindedly.

“He’s a good ruler and an honorable man,” Rin said.

Midori’s eyes turned to him. For a moment, Rin could imagine that they were huge glittering wounds, but the pain quickly faded to curiosity.

“I’ve known Mori since we were kids. You’ll be in good hands.”

“He’s a good man,” Midori repeated and a melancholy smile appeared on his lips.

It was a smile Rin was wary of, because that smile tugged painfully at him.

“Sure, he may be a good man, but he’ll only ask for his royal whore when he wants me.
