Chapter 243: And Now The Day Bleeds, Into Nightfall
[KONSTANTIN]
"If I were you, I would assign Sanji to the worst sides of the kingdom to work his butt off, just saying," the king spoke and Kosta’s eyes lit up. This did sound like the worst of ideas and yet at the same time, it was like a path had opened for him, one that brought forth some certainties.
Perhaps he was crazy for even having a second to think of what the king meant, but he was a desperate man who knew he had to work on so many things to make ends meet. He was a man who had fucked up and all that he had loved threatened to fade in the distance.
It wasn’t the best of things for him. It wasn’t the kind of fate he had hoped for but it was what had presented itself to him and honestly, Kosta was thinking in that direction. He didn’t care that the suggestion would possibly lead to a doomed fate.
All that he cared about was the way that his life had changed with Tamiko and how much he wanted to keep a semblance of that normalcy. It was the only thing keeping him sane because, without it, Kosta was never going to rise like he had hoped for.
"Don’t listen to him. If you want to win Tamiko over you have to be yourself. You have to be whatever he fell in love with. My brother is complicated but at the same time, his heart is simple.
"The simple things make his heart flutter, so you dive deep into whatever you did to make him accept you back then, and bring it back because I wouldn’t be surprised if Sanjiro believes he has a chance with Tamiko.
"As much as I hate you, I don’t hate you enough to wish that overly bubbly pretentious Lycan be your replacement in my brother’s life," Danny said as he looked at Kosta.
It was sort of hilarious how he was raging against Kosta every other minute, and yet at the same time, he was rooting for the man. Perhaps they were frenemies, but whatever dynamic worked for them was still going to be alright, yeah?
Or was this just another part of the long game they were trapped into by the fates then? But what if Danny was wrong, what if this could work and the mad king’s idea was the only thing left for him to choose from?
Would it make everything better or would it all just be shitty to the point that life never got to be worth it ever again?
