face to face, my lovely foe

Oh to see him writhe.
A word here, a question there, and let him wriggle his way out of this pit. In front of the whole court, of every noble, every servant, every slave. And yet, he makes it every time. His beloved enemy.

"Treasured rivals", the court called them. To watch them converse was akin to visit a theater sometimes - how they played with words so elegantly, being so polite and venomous, waiting for another to make a slighest mistake. Gentlemen with bloodied maws.

It began years ago, when Dimitri was just starting to get acquainted with this game, with all the rules and politics that came with simply being a child of his parents. Quick learner, he knew the price of words, and how others may use it. To get an endorsement from him often meant too much - very few would go against wishes of the empire, and certainly no commoner or worker. So, his one phrase could shield or ruin an entire business, one word could secure a trade, influencing the market - influencing the empire. And if he chooses to play... he'll be able to weave it's fate.

It's just a game of chess.
In whispers, in glances, murmurs and hushed tones, praise or threats are delivered to his pieces. Sacrificing them is necessary. Seeing the whole picture is essential.
There's no place for feelings - no place for anger. Because Dimitri is angry. He thought he has the board to himself, only for the unseen enemy to strike when he got too close. Too big. Too infatuated with himself. Now, his webs are scattered, his little puppets are executed, and his hands are burned just enough to warn him: you are not alone.
And instead of giving up, Dimitri accepts the challenge. He covers himself with shadows, makes a move and waits for an answer. And eventually, his invisible enemy strikes once again.

It's more like a dance now.
Step forward, step backwards, a life lost, a follower gained. For every family ruined, there's another one flourishing. Who is his mysterious partner? They recognize each other in the dark, clearly, unmistakably. By their patterns, by their moves. No other player can replicate it, no other player can get this close. A new habit, to keep a silver spoon in a pocket.
One year, two years. Never once bored. What a mesmerizing dance it is!

And silence.
Where did he go, his partner? Why? Was the last attempt succesful? But it was an obvious one, one they both performed before, like a trick, on each other - an inside joke. Maybe, Dimitri just can't see the answer yet- But days to weeks to months. Nothing. He's finally the last one standing, it seems. But why the victory feels so empty?

Heels on the stone floor, echoing down the hallway - a little too fast for a man of his status. A slight clink of the chain, then the sound of a key turning. And the heavy, lingering creak - the door opens, letting a blue light into the dark room.

иду и вижу чужие тени -
немой театр на стене.
глаза застыли в одно мгновение,
и голос шепчет о вчерашнем сне
