"Good. I'm proud of you." Ellis replied.

"I don't wanna see him again… I don't want him to be king…"
"I know. I don't either." Ellis murmured.
"We gotta stop him… there's gotta be some other way."
"I…I don't know."
"He's gonna get himself killed… the public is gonna hate him…"
"Good." Ellis replied. "Then he can die."
"We shouldn't wish death on people though…"
"Well. Maybe you shouldn't." He said softly. "I'm sorry."
Nathaniel shrugged. "Just like… in his own best interest, he shouldn't be king… right?"
"Right." He agreed quietly, silently wishing that it was Anton that had been shot, not himself or Lloyd.
"Mm… but they never listen to me." Nathaniel sighed. "There's not really anything I can do."
Ellis nodded. "Yeah. And I'm…they won't listen to me either."
"Probably not…" Nathaniel lay his head on Ellis's shoulder.
Ellis was still holding Nathaniel, closing his eyes. "I'm sorry. This really sucks."
Nathaniel nodded a bit. "I wanna go back to be with Lloyd but I think Anton is still with him…"
Ellis nodded. "Oh. I don't know."
"I don't wanna see Anton again…" Nathaniel whispered.
"Me either." he replied softly.
"What should I do…?" He asked softly.
"I don't know."
Nathaniel sighed softly and huddled a bit closer to Ellis for comfort.
Ellis held the smaller prince gently.
"I wanna go back to Lloyd…" Nathaniel murmured weakly.
"Yeah, but Anton's there."
"Y-Yeah…" Nathaniel hesitated for a few seconds. "Will you go with me?"
Ellis nodded. "Yeah, of course."
Nathaniel hesitated before standing up and fidgeting nervously with his wings.
Ellis took a deep breath, letting go of Nathaniel.
Nathaniel took Ellis's hand again when they were both standing and hesitated before beginning to walk, staying very close to Ellis.
