Chapter 164: And I See, A Ship Is Coming In

[KAWAI]

"This..." Tamiko began as he looked at his father who was staring at the white door. He could see the way that his father hesitated and how the big bad king was suddenly not so sure about whether to push open the door.

It was something that Tamiko truly understood because honestly, if he were in the same position as his father, he wouldn’t have done it with ease too. Life was dealing them a harsh card and they were trying their very best to live through the mess.

Perhaps it would be easier along the way or it would just be as hectic too. No one knew what this meant for the father and son, save for the father and son; oh, how the fates were sly with them. But perhaps there was a good enough reason for that right?

"Yeah... We used to share this room, before everything went to shit," King Zaffuto said in a strained tone.

Tamiko felt the breath hitch in his throat. He had been so open to having discussions with his father but he hadn’t quite realized that even in that mess, his father was still the man who had lost a mate.

Pain did have different ways of hitting him and his father and right now Tamiko was watching the big bad king almost falter. It was a painful sight for the young Lycan but he had to see it through too.

This was about his family, a people that he cared about. This was about the history that never came to pass and it was also about the revelation of the endless cycles that had been eating at him.

Perhaps there was an answer somewhere in between because, despite all that was happening, he had dared to keep hoping. That was the only thing he could afford right now anyway.

"I’m..." Tamiko trailed off, not sure what he was supposed to say to that. Life wasn’t exactly denying them the kindest of cards and regardless of how hectic it was starting to be, Tamiko wanted to hope.

He needed it, the house that was shot was the only way for him and he’s after to come to the same page. But damn had he not expected it would be this hard.

"It’s alright. So much time has passed and I have to get over it," King Zaffuto said, his voice strained and Tami knew that his father was syncing.

The man was still mourning the love of his life and Tamiko couldn’t fault him for that because he had been snatched everything in just one night.

The longer that Tamiko hung around his father, the more he got to know the king’s pain from a draw perspective, the king the tag no one was willing to share because King Zaffuto wasn’t exactly the kind of man to let everyone in.

Only lord Sadako had known of the king’s pain and yet right now, Tamiko was so cute that his uncle didn’t know this side of the blinding pain that his father was experiencing. It was scary at some point because, at the end of the day, they would have to be there for each other.

Well, that wasn’t the hardest part of it all, because they would be together.

The hardest part would be to deal with the grief they had both never dealt with for years, Tamiko had known that his mother was the Lycan queen, and yet in all these years since his newfound knowledge, Tamiko hadn’t tried to think of her life that he had never chosen to focus on the greed.

Instead, he had chosen to live his life like the outcast, because frankly, being the Grealor outcast was way easier than mourning a mother that was loved by everyone and yet a mother that he hadn’t even known in the slightest of ways.

It was disheartening for the euglena, and he didn’t know what to do. Maybe with his father here with him, Tamiko would finally find an avenue to channel his rage and grief, right?

Perhaps it was so, but how long would the fates allow this for the both of them then?

"I know... but unlike what people always say, time hasn’t really fixed up because we never knew where to go. We had all the grief in the world and no one to truly share it with, it was like we were stagnated and there wasn’t a hand to guide us out;

"... because the only ones who could help us out of the rubble didn’t even know what it was like to be under there," Tamiko said as he thought back to the days when he had struggled to live with his truth in Grealor.

Life had been a little harder for him and he hates that to this day. But now here with his father standing in front of the very door that screamed peace and salvation for them, Tamiko was hopeful that this was the first stage of their grief, yeah?

Oh, but it was going to be a long day.

"Oh, little angel. You have grown up so much," King Zaffuto said as he stared at him endearingly.

His heart was beating for his son and his life was meant for this same kid. The king was always trying to be a good person, but grief was never the kind to understand what rationality was.

It was just a matter of time before they both crashed out. But would they both crash out if they were on the same page with each other? Would it work like that or was this just the kind of shit that they had to pretend didn’t matter as much?

"Open it... let’s see what is in there together," Tamiko urged and King Zaffuto let out a defeated sigh. He had been the one to suggest the little walk in this direction, but now he was just realizing how hard it was for him to push open the white door.

He had tried over the years, but he had never dared to keep it up, because he was sure that his grief would end and he would have to deal with it alone again. There was nothing Lord Sadako would have been able to do for him in that instance, and it was a reality that had horrified the king to the core.

Without his father, he always felt like he had lost his compass, so he had kept postponing the opening of the door that he had closed twenty-five years ago.

No one had opened that door too because no one had the guts to tell the king that they had tried to invade his privacy. If ever that happened, the king would ruin them all without question and they all knew it too.

"What if it is not what we expected then? What do we do, kid? What if it just has all the horrors we have been running away from for so long? What if I am not at night to get out of it and you are forced to stay on the sidelines again?

"There are so many maybes with this case, little angel and I worry that I might not be the same if we walk in there," King Zaffuto said truthfully. He knew there was no point in lying to his son about what he was feeling about this white door.

It was one that he knew he would have to open, but was he brave enough to do it with his son watching?

"Then we do it together," Tamiko reassured him earnestly.
