Chapter 230: I Grew A Flower That Can’t Be Bloomed

[KAWAI]

"Papa! You’re still behind by far! Come along, I’m hungry!" Tamiko shouted happily and the palace came to a standstill.

Hell, even those who had been scared of him, those who worried for his sanity, and those who had watched him lose his spark the entire week and through the day were shocked.

This was not possible and they knew it too. This was nothing close to the reality the kid had been living in barely hours ago. He had been visibly devastated and had spent days crying his heart out.

He had been the poster kid for depression. Hell, it was impossible that this was what they were seeing. Something had gone very wrong, and as the king walked out of Chief Konstanin’s room to go after his son, he knew what everyone was thinking.

Oh, how he hoped he was wrong.

"Slow down, Kaito. You’ll get hurt!" King Zaffuto forced out as he watched his son get all giggly and shit.

He looked happier than ever, and it was sickening to the core. The entire kingdom had prayed for a day like this to come, for the spark inside the kid to come back to life, but this wasn’t it.

There was an emptiness in the eyes that screamed for help. A sadness that had been forced down like it was too much and needed to be forgotten. There was a cry for help beneath all the light laughter and Zaffuto felt his knees go weak at the realization.

He couldn’t think straight and yet he couldn’t run away from his son. He had to stay and be there for him. He had to see this through and he had to be the father he had sworn he would be through all the times.

His heart shattered at the happiness sprawled on his son’s face and it was ruining him deep inside. This was not how to deal with the day that had passed and Zaffuto knew that it was not going to be easy.

"I’ll be fine, papa! Besides, if I get hurt, I have you, Danny, uncle, and even Kosta, if he wants to protect me. I have everyone I love under the same roof. Isn’t that something to be happy about? Come, I’m hungry and I feel like I could faint.

"I can’t remember the last time I ate and took a shower! Damn do I stink... sorry guys, I’ll take a shower after I’ve eaten. Today is a good day, everyone is happy!" Tamiko said and the worry that was etched on the faces of the Kawai Lycans got even more intense.

They were scared for the Lycan prince, they were worried that they wouldn’t have to see him survive the depression. They had seen such cases over the years and it never really ended well.

The king knew that and the people of Kawi knew that too.

The happiness on Tamiko’s face was false. His heart was shattering and yet he didn’t have the ability to feel it. It was like the world was just going round and round and he wasn’t even a part of the realities that had gotten them to this point.

So much had happened and so much needed to be processed, yet at the moment, it was obvious that all of the hurt had fucked up Tamiko’s mind.

This was a call for help, a desperate attempt at building that which was broken, and a desire to hold onto what had once been. Happiness had once been what Tamiko desired the most and while he didn’t look the happiest, he was struggling to make it a reality.

"Tamiko..." the king trailed off when he got to his son.

He had never called him by that unless the king was in trouble and Tamiko forced him to. Hearing it so voluntarily made a switch flip Tamiko’s head but it was the one that the king wanted to flip.

It was a crazy switch, one that even Danny wouldn’t have been able to turn back off.

This was not how shit was supposed to be, but then life was already hell on its own. There wasn’t much that could be done for the kid unless he embraced all that he was feeling.

But did that even make sense when everything had been turned upside down?

"That sounds weird, coming from your lips, papa. You said I was your prince, your little Kaito. Or did I grow too big for you?" Tamiko asked with a pout and the king stared at him, shocked.

What the fuck was wrong with his son?? What the hell had they gotten themselves into and why the fuck did it have to be at this moment?

King Zaffuto was desperate for answers. He already had speculations, but a part of him refused to accept these speculations. There was just no way that this was what they had been reduced to.

Hell was not right and the heavens were not as loving as he had imagined.

This was not okay. Not on any scale ever and anyone with eyes could see it.

"You’re my son, Tamiko. My little angel. But I’m going to need you to flip it back on, my boy. I need you to turn it back on so we can figure out a way through this. I like that you’re happy, I love seeing you smile and dance around—

"—but we both know that this is temporary, Kaito. This won’t last as long as you want it to. Why don’t you trust Papa to make it better?" King Zaffuto practically begged his son while the Kawai Lycans in the palace watched sadly and in silence.

They had never thought that this would happen right before them. It had seemed absurd to read about all that shit in the books, but now that it was happening, they just didn’t know what to feel.

Grief was such a strong emotion and Tamiko had grieved his Erasthai for five long days. He had mourned the love that had been his, the love he had felt like a failure for not saving.

He had mourned the love that had protected him and even to this moment, he was still mourning.

His heart had been shattered one too many times and the shards that had remained had been found to dust just six days ago when Kosta had declared that he would not want to be in the same room as Tamiko.

It had been a lot to process for the kid, and they understood him. But was that enough for him to turn the switch back on? Was it enough, when all those emotions had gotten him was pain, pain, and endless pain?

He had been enduring a lot at the time but then now it seemed like the universe was done being nice to him. Tamiko was sick of it all, and perhaps that’s why instead of answering his father’s plea, he just ran towards Danny and hugged him.

"Papa said you joined the rescue mission. Thank you, brother. But now I’m hungry and we both know I can’t cook to save my life. How about you see it for me, Danny? Pretty please before I fall down from hunger?" Tamiko begged.

Danny felt his breath hitch in his throat.

He had seen this state before, and it never ended well.

"What?" Danny breathed in devastation.
