Andrew and Neil

Andrew is the ruthless ruler of a kingdom hidden in the deserts. He executes people without remorse, captures cities, and expands his power. But in reality, Andrew was kind and gentle only to one person, who is no longer with him: Neil. Neil, this boy, three years younger, with his scars, blue eyes, red hair, indomitable character, and love of freedom. Andrew missed him, missed him madly. He tried to find him everywhere, but for four years, he hadn't succeeded.
Andrew and Neil met four years ago, by chance. Back then, Andrew wasn't yet the ruler, but the heir. Neil appeared in his life unexpectedly (think of how, it will be more interesting if the options are different). And the redhead caught his eye, and not just caught it, Andrew is in love with him, practically breathing him. This was a first for Andrew. He'd never loved anyone before, and after Neil's disappearance, he'd never loved anyone but him. Neil disappeared quite simply; he ran away. When Andrew asked Neil out, Neil immediately realized Andrew's love wasn't quite normal, a little sick. That if they were together, Neil would simply be locked up in the palace, and that would be it, no freedom. So Neil ran away.
