A King and a Holy King. The painting depicts the heartbreaking moment when Lorian embrace the curse along with his brother Lothric.

Lorian, Elder Prince and Lothric, Younger Prince, also known as the Twin Princes, are a pair of antagonists in Dark Souls III.

Lorian is a knight with gold and black armor. Lothric is a magical, using an unfamiliar holy light energy that functions like crystal sorceries of the highest level.
Two brothers who share a deep connection and love for each other, with a tragic fate. Lothric was weak and he was the keeper of the fire, his royal parents wanted him to burn himself over and over again, keeping the flame alive until the end of time. He was cursed, and Lorian, the heir to the throne, who loved his brother, accepted the curse and shared part of his pain with him, and he refused the royal inheritance (Lorian decided to embrace his brother's curse and burn in his brother's stead, and probably this is why Lothric refuse to link the fire). Lothric, on the other hand, provides his brother with life force with his magical power. Even when Lorian was crippled and mute he never left his brother, he carries him on his back, and treats him with great respect.
They don't leave each other to the end.

Detailed story about them from wiki.

Lothric and Lorian are the sons of Oceiros, King of Lothric and Gwynevere, Queen of Lothric and consequently the princes of the kingdom of Lothric.
Lorian, as the eldest prince, was designated heir to the throne and for this reason he received the ancient brass armor handed down by the royal family together with a crown helmet patterned with flame, symbol of the kingdom's tradition of firelinking. Lorian was raised as a knight and proved his incredible prowess on the battlefield, leading a war against the remnants of the Chaos Demons and even capturing some of them to serve as slaves for Lothric. The prince even faced the Demon Prince in a duel and was able to single-handedly defeat him, resulting in his greatsword being eternally scorched with the flame of chaos.

Lothric instead, as the youngest prince, was designated to become a Lord of Cinder, sacrificing himself in the linking of the First Flame to keep the Age of Fire alive. The prince was in fact the hope not only of the entire kingdom but the result of the obsession of the royal family and the king to produce a worthy Champion from among their ranks as a symbol of their divine mandate and duty.
King Oceiros in fact created immense propaganda around Lothric, not only giving him the name of the kingdom, but building statues that depicted him ready for sacrifice and with his sacred sword even before he linked the Flame, already preparing his throne at the Firelink Shrine who called him the hope of the kingdom.
Despite all the hopes that were placed in him, Lothric soon revealed himself to be a sick and weak and were blessed to at least try to keep him alive.
The frail prince still demonstrated talent for sorcery, for which he did not need a medium being the son of a deity, and learned several powerful and refined spells.

When the royal family realized that Lothric would not improve from his condition , they resorted to repulsive acts in an attempt to obtain a worthy Champion for the linking: the rulers would in fact bind the souls of the two brother princes together with a curse, in the hope that the weaker Lothric would thus share the strength of Lorian, making them able to sacrifice themselves to the Flame together. Despite the monstrous practice, Lorian himself had the desire to submit to the curse, to try to help his younger brother, even at the cost of depriving the kingdom of the heir he represented.

However, fate played a bad joke once again: the souls of the two brothers, linked so closely that they could nearly meld together, made them inseparable and Lorian could not die if Lothric did not too. However, their union also led the older brother to share the younger's condition, making Lorian crippled and mute to the point of being unable to walk on his own legs and the two unable to link the Flame. The now twin princes thus found themselves unable to fulfill the destiny for which they had been brought into the world and would become inseparable in kinship, fueled by their grief for their fate.

When the First Flame began to fade and the time came for Prince Lothric to fulfill his duty and and become a Lord of Cinder, at least helping with the linking ritual, he simply refused. After reflecting on his mentor's teachings, the state of the kingdom and the world, his cursed life and the atrocities committed to continue to link the Flame the prince decided to ignore his "duty", refusing to continue the legacy of the Lords, and instead chose to wait for the Flame's death from the distance. In fact, the prince retired to the top of his castle together with his brother Lorian with whom he shared his soul.
