The King’s Kindness Is No More

l grown up. The two of us were currently having tea.

”Have some more of the cake…I had it made for you. ”, I said observing my sisters body, she was too thin.

”No….Im on a diet right now, ” she said pulling on the sleeves of her dress.

I felt uneasy hearing her, ” You don need to be on a diet…you
e already a bag of bones as it is. ”

****

” How could t-this have h-happened? ”I said, embracing my beloved sisters corpse.

Grace was dead as well now….I was truly alone now, her body was riddled with bruises and markings. A letter had come with her corpse, it was a declaration of war.

The King of the Rein Kingdom had joined hands with the Gael Kingdom and was trying to corner us.

Grace had been married to the king of Rein Kingdom, we had sent her off thinking she would be treated like a queen but…she was nothing more than a plaything.

I screamed….and screamed…

All I could do was scream.

A hand patted me on the shoulder in an attempt to comfort me, ”Im sorry. ” Aileen said carrying our child with her other arm.

Aileen had married me, on paper I was her husband but everybody knew that our marriage was a farce. That child isn even mine.

How could it be mine when I haven even spent the night with her?

****

I tried to fight.

But it was a hopeless fight. All our allies had abandoned us and joined up against us. It was not a fight I could ever win. But I still tried my best, I managed to kill the Gael Kingdoms king in combat but that was it.

Now….I was about to be executed.

With my death just a few moments away, I felt nothing.

Then again for most of my life, Ive been taught to feel nothing. To always be rational, kind, and just, so I could understand and help my subjects.

Be kind.

Be good.

Be just.

Be honorable.

All for what?

As they sliced my head off, the last thing I saw was the flag of my kingdom, a flag that had been part of me since I was born….a flag that I was proud of….and now it was being trampled by these…..these insects.

Damn it.

****

All my life, Ive felt the need to hold in my emotions, probably because of how I was raised but that wasn the way to go….because Im all alone now because of that.

I couldve saved them all.

I could have killed everybody who threatened my familys future, instead, I couldn even recognize them.

I….hate myself for being so weak.

I could feel a bright light engulfing me, the light exuded a warmth that steadily increased until it felt like I was being melted alive.

”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ” I screamed, my eyes opening to find myself in the room I used when I was a young boy.

” T-the prince has WOKEN UP ! ” a young maid standing near my bed screamed running out of my room.

I feel….weird.

My mind felt fumbled, I couldn even think straight as I stood up and made my way to a mirror in a corner of my room.

The reflection that greeted me back when I looked into the mirror was familiar.

It was me…but way….wayyyyy younger.

…..

The ** is going on here?
