Royal turned his head, closing his eyes and beginning to play his own melody

"You remember me I'm assuming." Royal said, continuing the melody without stopping or opening his eyes
English
-
"Y-yes. You're royal. You were...talking with my sister. The night...the night it happened." Lilly told him. He breath was shaky as she spoke to Roy.
-
"That's correct. Is it alright if I speak with you, Lilly? That was your name correct?" The soulful piano came to sudden halt, falling into a silence as he opened his eyes and titled his head to look at her
-
She looked at Royal in silence for a moment. She looked at the piano, and then to him. She turned around to Jospeh, who nodded his head, then she turned back to royal. "I...you can play, then?" She asked him. This was her response to his question as she referred to the instrument.
-
"Yes. I can play. Would you like to begin the melody? Or should I?" He asked calmly, adjusting himself slightly
-
"Ummmm." She let out as she looked at the piano to think. She wiped her eyes, wiping the mascara off her face. "I...I would like to start." She said as she sat down on the bench again and rested her fingers on the piano. Royal noticed that she tapped her left foot before she played to get a rhythm. Then, she began to play as she did before.
-
Royal was silent, playing his parts of the song were needed and even adding certain parts that seemed to better the actual flow of it
-
The two continued to play, until suddenly, Lilly stopped. She clenched her fists again and stared down at the keys. "Royal...." she said. "...Why are you here?"
-
"Honestly? I'm here to 'turn' you against the other Coldbournes." Royal said, stopping his own playing "That's what Falk wants at least." He said, looking towards her. "But I'm really here to make sure you're alright.... Despite what stories you might have heard about me, or what I've done. Despite the fact that I'm here for an ulterior motive." He sighed heavily, looking down "I lost a brother when I was young. His human name was Keith. And when he died.... I was too young to really understand it, but It still hit me." "You're old enough to understand. And from what I've heard, Alex is the one that taught you piano in the first place. I can sympathize."
-
"What?!" Lilly said as she stood up again. She was surprised by Royals comments. Joseph suddenly raised his gun up and pointed it at royal. "Royal! I'm afraid I can't let you-!" He was interrupted as Lilly raised her hand up. A massive amount of snow came from her hand and blew Jospeh out of the doorway, and the wind also closed the door. Then, it froze.
-
"I don't want to this to you. Really. I'm not willing to make you turn against your own family for a second time and watch them die like Alex." Royal commented, and his voice sounded shaky his eyes, watery.

-
"I don't want you to.... It'd be a repeat of Alex really... And.... Well... Alex...." A tear dripped down his cheek and fell to the ground. "Gosh, why couldn't he just play along..." Royal said this outloud, though it became clear he was talking to himself now
-
She turned to Royal, her hair swaying from the turn. "You're right, Royal. But it's not only that. I can't betray Diana, Or Felix, Faolin or Cain...."

Edited by Royal Blade: 4/20/2017 12:30:46 AM"You have to..." He took a deep shaky breath and rubbed his eyes, getting to his feet and calming down. "Every war, battle, skirmish has it sides. You gotta pick a side. Frankly, to me it seems like the Coldbournes are the wrong side." He took another deep shaky breath. It was clear he was uncomfortable requesting this, but it had to be done.
-
"NO!" Lilly suddenly yelled out. "I can't abandon them! They would never do that to me! They wouldn't!" She cried.
-
"They did it to Alex didn't they? After he tried to protect you, after he tried saving the family he cared for...."
-
"DON'T TALK ABOUT HIM!" She yelled. She was getting flustered and turned her back to Roy.
-
"WHY NOT? Are we just going to pretend he's not really dead? That he's still out there? Are we gonna forget about him?!" He suddenly looked at her, with a fierce anger in his eyes. "He was my friend!"
-
"And he was my BROTHER SO STOP IT STOP IT RIGHT NOW-!" Suddenly Lilly turned, and a massive blizzard of snow surrounded Roy and everything in the room. Then, all he saw was white.... [spoiler]end of chapter ten[/spoiler]
