A Prince in Disguise | Dark Fantasy Series (Part 151)

Two men.🖤 One cruel lie.🔥 And a heart that might be breaking for all the wrong reasons. Rook has always been good at pretending. Pretending he doesn't care. Pretending nothing gets under his skin. Pretending that Tristan is nothing more than an irritating outlaw who happens to be rather good at kissing. But there's a problem with pretending. Sometimes, the only person you're fooling is yourself. And in doing so, you might end up cutting off the very roots of something that could have grown into something beautiful. And this morning... Rook is about to discover just how badly that can go. Because Yannis has had enough. Tristan kidnapped Alaric. And as far as Yannis is concerned... a man like that is a danger they can't afford to ignore. Especially when the person Yannis loves has already suffered because of him. Now Tristan sits tied to a tree. And Yannis stands before him. Sword drawn. The blade resting against his throat. "I don't like leaving loose ends." For once... this isn't a joke. And Rook knows it. He watches from a few feet away. Trying to remain calm. Trying not to show how worried he really is. Because if Yannis notices that Tristan matters to him... will that make things better? Or much, much worse? So Rook does what he's always done when his feelings become inconvenient. He hides them. Behind a harsh voice. Behind cold words. Behind a lie that sounds almost convincing. "He's just a filthy rat... He means nothing to me." And Tristan? He hears every word. Of course he does. The man who kissed him so gently just a little while ago... the man who came back for one more kiss... is now telling everyone that he means absolutely nothing. And for one brief moment... that familiar smirk disappears. Perhaps Tristan understands why Rook is saying it. Perhaps he doesn't. But understanding someone's reasons doesn't necessarily make their words hurt any less. Especially when those words sound suspiciously like the truth you've been afraid of hearing. Yet Rook isn't finished. Because whatever he claims to feel... he refuses to let Yannis kill Tristan. "I'll deal with him myself. But we don't execute prisoners. Camp rules." And there it is. Beneath the insults. Beneath the denial. A desperate attempt to keep Tristan alive. Yannis studies him. Then slowly lowers his sword. But the danger hasn't passed entirely. He leans towards Tristan. A dangerous little smile. "One wrong move, outlaw, and I'll be holding your leash." Tristan meets his gaze. Defiant. Unimpressed. And far too proud to show fear. But perhaps the sharpest wound this morning wasn't caused by Yannis' blade. Perhaps... it was caused by the man standing a few feet away. The one who insists he doesn't care. And who may have just proved how much he does... in the most painful way possible. 💔 This is just a small moment from The Firelords Saga — where dangerous enemies become unexpected lovers, loyalty can demand cruel sacrifices, and sometimes the words spoken to protect someone are the very words that hurt them most. 🔥🖤 Thank you to everyone already following their story… it truly means more than you know. 🖤 If you love slow burn romance, emotional tension, fantasy storytelling, and Boys Love (BL) dynamics — this is for you. 💛 New here?
