"Cauley Rin" by Leo Annakin Belkin

A companion pic to my Higashi Key one. Cauley Rin is a half-breed and is somewhat insecure in his new post as Higashi's second in command. He was raised in a king's curt and quickly made his way to be one of his top advisors. He was known for possessing a great amount of knowledge. He was also a great dancer and would often spend his nights twirling to an unheard tune. All was fine until he caught the eye of one of the king's nephews and his friends. After they were done with him Cauley became quiet, reserved and never looked anyone in the eye. Most importantly he no longer danced. The only one who noticed was Omer, the king's youngest nephew, and he advised Cauley to go to the king. He did, but the king ignored him. The others were angry and decided to punish him. Soon after that Cauley double-crossed the king, causing his death and the death of those who hurt him. He was caught and was to be executed, but Omer freed him and they were forced to run away together...
