"From now... on?", you asked with confusion from the sudden question pointed towards you. 

"Yes. Stay in this castle with me and never, never leave... don't leave like your brother did...", he mumbled the last part and said his whole sentence very strictly, like he was gonna force me if I said no.

"Um, actually... I came here with a friend and I'll have to go back to continue work...", you said with hesitance, scared of the consequences.

"Your friend can go back alone... and you can continue being an idol but within this country! You don't have to go back to Japan!", he was practically begging you at this point, and you were wondering why he wanted you to stay in Northmaria when you just met him.

"I can't just stay here so suddenly! And I plan to continue my work in Japan, so if you aren't gonna let me do what I want to, I'll be taking my leave now!", you raised your voice as you were getting sick of this ridiculous conversation, and stood up quickly and was ready to stomp off the room.

"I have no choice then...", he quietly mumbled to himself, and shouted, "Guards! Tie her up!"

Two strong-looking guards grabbed both of your arms and wrapped a long piece of rope around you. You struggled your utmost, but you couldn't beat this gorilla-looking, blonde people.

"What do you think you are doing?!", you shouted at the man who had a stern face, partially glaring at you with a hint of guilt.

"Sorry, Y/n. I have to do this or else you'd leave just like how my beloved Nagi did. I can't have anyone leaving my side anymore.", he frowned and looked like he was going to cry and scream until the whole castle shakes.

"W-what?", you were really, really confused. Why did he kidnap you if he would feel guilty about it? And what does it mean when he said 'my beloved Nagi'?

"Actually, I love you, Y/n. I love you and Nagi but... Nagi left me, left this country without telling me, after all, I did for him! So I'm not having another of my beloved run away from me again. Never!", he started shouting and he sweated as he panicked with trembling hands.

"You... love me? W-what do you...", you were going to ask, but he started tearing up as he leaned his head on both palms in despair.

... The room turned quiet. All there was to fill the awkward silence was the sobbing from his mouth, and the soft but deep breathing from yours, keeping quiet because you didn't really understand the situation. Plus, you had a man that kidnapped you and is now currently crying in despair.

"C-could you explain...? Please?", you asked him gently, scared to break his fragile heart, which managed to tie you up and kidnap you, and you wondered how it felt so fictional, for your unknown brother, who lived miles and miles away from you, and is the crown prince, and has tied you up and is now crying in front of you.
