"I'm sorry your highness, we failed to save him. We must stop our operation, because it's too dangerous for prince Oliver… even after the operation was stopped, his condition was dropped until now. We—didn't sure that prince Oliver can handle it until tomorrow morning…"

I don't understand, they told us that they can cure Oliver from his illness. They said that operation will be sucess—and that stupid Oliver said that he will never—ever leaving her alone. We're all here, leaving our job just to waiting that Oliver—but, we never expect that we'll hear this ridiculous news.

"You mean—you want us to believe that Oliver will die before tomorrow morning?!" Sieg raised his voice and look at the doctor with the killing instinct. Okay, not only him but even Hayden give a glare to them. I realize something when the situation became worse, sheeven didn't talk until now.

"Rena…"

"T—That's a liar!" Everyone look at Rena who just stands behind us, "Oliver promised me that he will survive! He—he will not give up!"

"It's okay Rena…" Hayden tries to make Rena calm down.

"Your highness never gave up until now Miss Rena—there's several time when his heart was stopped. But we know that his highness still want to be alive… because of the risk, we can't continue it anymore," it just because… if Oliver died in the middle of the operation, it can make the relationship between Altaria and this kingdom was broken. It because—that stupid thing…

"Rena," I patted her shoulder, and she just looks at me before hug me tightly. I know it's hard to her. Oliver did the operation because Rena wants it—no, because everyone want it. But at the end, Rena was the one that success to make Oliver want to take the operation, "it's okay…"

"He'll be alright right…? He promised me…"

…

"Let's go—you want to see him right?" I can't answer her question, because I know that Oliver isn't right.

He's dying…

I don't ever remember, since when I become so closed with Oliver and Rena. At the first, I always in Altaria Kingdom was because I didn't want to spend so much time in Oriens. But at the end, it just an excuse. In fact, I just want to spend more time with Rena—the women that I love, the women that Oliver love.

And the women that loved Oliver.

"—nce Kuon…"

I snapped out when someone called me. I stare and find Werner who just looking at me with a worried expression. We're at Oliver's Room. Me, prince Hayden, Aslan, Ivan, and Sieg waiting for Oliver to wake up and also Rena. Of course their butlers wait for them too.

"Everyone sleeping, don't you want to sleep too?" I sighed, and shook my head. How can I sleeping at the situation like this? I'm looking at the watch, it's two o'clock in the midnight—I didn't realize that it's already this late. Rena was sleeping beside Oliver, with her hand become a pillow.

"Give me the blanket Werner…" Werner nod and give the blanket to me. I walked and put the blanket at her back. But a soft chuckle, made me snapped and looking at in front of me.

"…you're so kind like usual… Kuon…"

"Oliver?!" I almost shout when I found that Oliver is wake up. His voice is hoarse, and I can see that he's breathless. Werner also recognized it and walked to near us, "damn you, you already make them worried…"

"Sorry…" He looking at Rena and stroke her hair. I can't say anything—and I don't know why, but I think he already know about his condition, "…is she crying?"

"Yes, a lot. So, make sure you'll be fine and go back to your kingdom. Or I'll kick your ass right now," he just laugh and didn't looking at me. He still stroke Rena's hair, "want me to wake her up?"

He shook his head.

"—you'll be fine right? She needs you…"

…

"I'm dying right…?"

"Don't be so stupid Oliver… Even I can't imagine you to die. You'll be fine and you'll make Rena to be your princess. That's what you want?"

"I said to you… that I already prepare to die… but in fact," I can see that even to talk, Oliver already used almost all of his energy. And that's not good, "…in fact I want to live… I want to become a king with Rena as my Queen, and—and I want to have many children with her… in the end, it just a dream… *cough* I know that I can't even be with someone that I love… *cough*"

"Oliver?"

"…*cough* say… Kuon *cough*…"

"I'll call the doctor…" Werner rushed out from the room. I was panicked. Should I wake Rena up, or the other prince to help me? Why I the only one who didn't sleep at the situation like this?!

"You… you must at least say goodbye to her—don't you dare to die before do that Oliver!"

"Kuon… y—you love Rena right?" I shut my mouth when Oliver says that word. Until this day, Oliver act like he didn't know that I like—no, love—Rena very much, like he did, "I'm sorry… I already know, but… I can't insist my feeling to her even I know that at the end… Only someone like you who can bring her the happiness…"

"Don't be so fools, for Rena—you're the only one who can bring her the happiness! If you die—"

"If I die… promise me… promise me that you'll love her and protect her… you'll bring her smile back and I know that only you who can do that," no… is he stupid?! If he die, she can die too! She already falling in love with him and now he want me to do that?!

"…Oliver…?" Me and Oliver looking at the voice and found that Rena is awaking. She looking at Oliver's eyes and stand up so quickly almost knock the chair, "Oliver are you alright?!"

"…Rena. Are you crying?"

"W—what are you talking about," she wiped her tears and looking at Oliver who just smile to her, "i—it just, I'm so happy that you're wake up. They said that you'll die and I don't believe that… *sniff* I know that you won't give up and you'll back to me. We'll back to Altaria, and you'll become the king."

…

"Oliver…? Why do you look at me like that?"

"I'm sorry Rena…" I looked at the heart monitor and I know this isn't good.

"Werner! Where's the doctor?!" I'm looking at behind us, find that Sieg was shouting in front of the door, "WERNER!"

"Oliver—stay with us!" I tried to grab his body and trying to make him stay awake.

"I—I can't see you Rena…"

"Oliver!"

"It's… so dark in here… I can't find you…"

"I'm here… I never leave you alone! Please, stay with me!"

"Don't cry, Rena—I know you're crying even I can't see you right now," he still trying to smile and laugh in his condition? If he had the energy, should he just trying to shut up and leave that damn doctor to save him?! Don't give that face to her, stupid Oliver, "…hey Kuon…"

…

"Should I begging to you to that promise?" I can't answer his question. I can't grant his wish—his last wish. I know that I can't make her happy if he died. So, how can I keep his promise?

"Kuon, what did he say?" Rena looks at me—so confuse and even I can't do anything. Everyone now just stares at me—waiting me to answer Oliver's question.

"I—I… I promise you… Oliver—" even I myself can't believe what did I say just now. I don't know how long I keep silent after that, but the sounds of heart monitor show us—that there's no pulse. Oliver didn't breath now, and I just stare at him disbelieve it. Even I didn't move from my place when the doctor came and rush to check Oliver's condition.

The doctor trying everything for a moment before stop it.

"How—" Aslan is the only one that can still talk to the doctor. But, the doctor shook his head, and everything become silent for once more.

…

"NOOO!"
