Zhou Zishu took a single step towards the prince. Then another. For the very first time, Zhou Zishu's hand tremor-ed ever-so-slightly under the weight of the knife in his palm. He took in a deep breath.
"It's okay. I've know this day was coming for a long while now." The prince admitted with a softness to his tone that only served to sharpen the twisting feeling in Zhou Zishu's chest. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. "Zhou Zishu... it's okay. Just let me go. You have to let me go. For the greater good, right?"
The prince attempted a trademark dazzling smile, but it never reached his eyes. Zhou Zishu gritted his jaw, holding in the words he daren't day aloud:
"But I need you."
