Lovino Vitus
The town square was a place busy, lively and grand in the day especially, but with the grand ball held at the castle, it was empty and quiet tonight. Just right for Lovino at the moment; he needed some time out.
Somehow, he was relieved to have seen his family once more. But with how things ended up, he partly regretted going to the ball.
"Why would I think of you as a failure?"
'Why would you not, Romulus? If you knew the truth...' The Vitus thought, walking slowly, dazed. The short journey from the palace to the square he spent on letting his tears out once more after that last response from the king. If he knew that by being useful outside the castle was an occupation as a pickpocket, Lovino was sure his old man would be very disappointed.
He took his place at the edge of the fountain, burying his face in his hands between his knees. In the quietness of the square, Lovino's frustrated wails broke the silence.
