It took Aso a couple of deep breaths before he heard his own voice vibrating inside his throat out of his mouth. "I failed you, Mon. I betrayed you. I don't wish to be forgiven by you; I know I don't deserve it but I really am sorry. I've been haunted by my guilty conscience ever since... ever since the king had asked me to do it."

A simple mistake that shouldn't take on a punishment as heavy as treason, rebellion or murder. But in a snap, the rules of the king had changed. Where as long as someone violates his rules, where a crime is that serious or not, a fair punishment should be applied. A fair punishment in the eyes of law but an unfair one in the eyes of the public. The people were still in great awe of this sudden change and couldn't fathom that the king h

As Prince Zaeius wept, something fell in front of him. It was a tiny key chain carved in a black jade stone in the form of an owl of which interestingly resembled like Gowl. There was a pair of glowing blue eyes and a tiny bell on its neck. He gently picked it up and traced his trembling fingers on its finely carved details. Even though Mon left without saying anything, Prince Zaeius assumed that maybe Mon gave this to him so he would always remember him. But with or without this, Prince Zaeius won't ever forget him. "Ah! My rebellious son has returned!" The king furiously said. His ears were red,brows furrowed of anger and disappointment. Prince Zaeius brought his gaze up upon hearing this. Those words were no more surprising to him. He had been used to it ever since. But, however, what surprised was the hideous creature s

"Your highness, where are we going?" asked the story teller, almost in a whisper as he leaned closer to the prince. The rest of the soldiers were getting ready to ride on their horses back to the palace.

'Isn't it obvious that I'm bringing him to the castle? This guy must really have a death wish.' It's better that he took the story teller with him. Who knows someone from his troops might betray him?
