“For all my life, I lived in absolute caution.“My parents were once loyal servants of the duchess when she was only a teenager. My mother was chosen as one of her ladies-in-waiting. My father was chosen as her page.“For the longest time, the duchess never treated her household with hostility. Most especially, her favourites. And when time came for my parents to ask for her blessing, the duchess happily allowed their marriage.“But that harmonious relationship with the duchess was destroyed because of a false allegation.“One of the guards accused my parents of stealing the duchess’ crown, which was a family heirloom. Because of that, they ran away from the castle and lived in the mountains in secret.“Day after day, they lived in fear for their lives. It only worsened when Mother became pregnant. Although they did everything to give me a proper, normal childhood, I was never allowed to visit the nearby city. They would make one excuse after another, just to prevent me from leaving t

“I returned to my quarters after that.“I just created an excuse towards my fellow servant. And I kept my lips sealed about that matter. Nobody in this castle - not even the duchess - knew what I knew,” the servant ended the story.Eyes wide opened, I stared at the floor. My mind froze but my heart raced. My hatred towards Benjamin burned more than what it was before.‘I knew it! I was right! Everything was a trap!’ I thought to myself.I tried everything that I got to convince my family that Benjamin was the true suspect. I argued with them, even went against the manners and conduct that they taught me. But they never believed me. We had to have numerous debates. James even had to risk his very life, just to obtain this confirmation that we needed.As my world swirled out of control, James’ hand held onto my shoulder. Slowly, he pulled me away from the servant. James sat in front of me and said to the servant, “Thank you for telling us the truth. I am certain that by doing this, you

“You don’t remember anything?” James asked.I reopened my eyes and replied, “All I can recall is that… we arrived in the throne room and I screamed. The next thing I know, I was on the ground and coughed out blood.”James’ brows furrowed. He looked to the healer and I did the same.“It is quite expected that an immortal will forget the first explosion of their powers. Although the prince has been using his powers for a long time, I believe there is more that he hasn’t discovered yet,” the healer explained. He added, “His body went into shock when it happened. So, it’s understandable that he doesn’t remember anything.”“My body went into shock?” I interrupted, which made the healer turn to me. “Wait, what happened-AH!” My attempt to sit up was immediately thwarted by an agonising headache.“Calm yourself, Your Highness,” the healer assisted my head as I laid back down. “You need to rest. Your body needs to recuperate.”I took a moment for the pain to subside. I then continued my questi

As I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a dim room.I turned to the window and it was already dark outside.‘For how long was I asleep?’ I thought to myself.Slowly, I sat up and laid my back onto the headboard. Thankfully, my head wasn’t in as much of a pain as it was a while ago. The medicine prescribed by the healer was so strong, it put me right to sleep.I looked around the room and tried to think of something that I could do. First thing that came to mind was I could look for James and assist him with the matter at hand. But if I did that, he would only make me return here and rest.And after what happened, James would never accept my help.A knock came upon my door. “Yes?” I answered.The door opened and it was the tortured servant. He was now neatly dressed and carried a tray of food. “It is me, Your Highness, Marcus.”“Marcus?” I asked as I was about to stand.“Please, Your Highness, don’t move,” Marcus replied as he stopped for a moment. Slowly, I sat down again and he proceed

Without any warning, I conjured a sleeping spell from my hands.“Your Highness, what are you doing?” Marcus whispered, panicking.“We don’t have much of a choice, Marcus,” I struggled to reply. The more power I used, the more my essence depleted. But I had to do a bit more because this spell had to work on fourteen soldiers. And it would last longer than usual as well.A few more grunts and finally, the orb was finished. Right after I pulled my powers back, I coughed out blood onto the carpeted floor.“Your Highness!” Marcus whispered as he caught me.“Who’s there?” a soldier called out from the hallway.Marcus and I shared worried glances. Our eyes widened as we heard a booming voice.“Is anyone there? If there is someone, you shouldn’t be on this side of the castle. Were you not aware of His Majesty’s decree that this wing is forbidden?” the soldier continued. “Whoever you are, reveal yourself.”“This wing of the castle is forbidden to visit?” I wheezed as I turned to Marcus. Once a

Bethilda’s maids stood from their beds and rushed over to their mistress as we walked in.Bethilda ran over to them and hid them behind her. Her maids whispered amongst one another as we arrived. They huddled together, fear was evident in the room.“Your Highness, I know all too well that we are not on good terms,” Bethilda said with a shaky voice. “But I beg of you not to hurt us. Especially my ladies. They have nothing to do with my crimes.”I looked over to her ladies. The frightened looks on their faces reminded me of Mother when we were attacked on the ship. Why would Bethilda even think - just for even a second - that I would hurt her or her ladies?It wasn’t a secret that I had a certain disdain for the duchess. But the punishment was already in James’ hands. And I would never hurt anyone that wasn’t the figurehead of the matter.I handed the lock back to Marcus and replied, “I didn’t come here to inflict pain on anyone. I only wanted to speak to you privately.”Bethilda cleare

“I can sense the questions that are racing in your mind now,” Bethilda continued and I quickly turned back to her.“At times such as this, it is your father who you must talk to.”“You already mentioned this to me. Couldn’t you just tell me what I should know?” I asked.Bethilda sighed as she pressed her lips firmly together. She replied, “As much as I want to, it is not my responsibility to explain the entire history of our family. That obligation is on the shoulders of your parents.”“Then tell me only what you can. Tell me your side of the story,” I insisted.Bethilda chuckled. “Young Robert, your parents are not the kind that will twist lies into truths. The same goes with the truth to lies,” she answered. “If you doubt your father’s words, it is best that you consult my sister about it. But I will never take the responsibility of telling you everything.”“It shouldn’t be my burden to carry,” she added.“But–”A knock interrupted me. Marcus rushed towards me and whispered, “Your H

“She said that Benjamin paid her a huge amount of gold and even promised her the title of queen consort,” James continued.“However, Bethilda had a feeling that Benjamin had other motives as to why he bribed her. She sensed that someone was also working with Benjamin. Because of the common rule that princes aren’t allowed to have access to a lump sum of gold,” James explained.He added, “The question that remains is who could possibly be helping Benjamin?”My eyes widened as I held my breath. I gripped onto the chair as I struggled to keep my emotions at bay.James might have noticed my tightening grip onto my chair. Immediately, he knelt and held both of my hands. “Robert, do not allow your emotions to take over. You can’t have the same incident happen again,” he reminded me as he looked at me. “Control yourself.”Slowly, I closed my eyes and took deep breaths. I tried to clear my mind but my emotions were too much to bear. Suddenly, a small pillar of glowing light appeared from the
