Wow that certainly is a bit more complex than I thought. As I said I did detect some cryptic or greater meanings, particularly with the the end and the scene with the painting but I was way off I think on my internal speculation. My thoughts were that whatever work itself was something to do with an exiled military leader or noblemen, not

Never knew of this book. Though I consider myself not much of an established fiction reader so I'm not sure it means much.

My suspensions with the story was that it was at least in part referencing some past tragedy IRL. When you posted the song I thought: "Wow, he is talking about a lost friend or lover".

> the whole thing offers a deeper and darker tone than the rest of the fic because for the first time, the protagonist admits his fate with a dignified death with all his will. Considering that he was a royal guard, he felt an actual change in his attitude but who was he fighting for? For the kingdom and as a soldier, he revives that piece of dignity with pride and a patriotic sacrifice while the tragedy was approaching to him. 
It was the impulse, the feeling and the act that you were trying to transmit, not the plot. That is where I was wrong in my thoughts. I thought this fic from the way you described it was lifting a bit of a plot from somewhere directly.
