king's game

Booom! szaaa... szaaaa.. Thunder!! The sound of Rain, outside of the building. The place was dark, with the faint light on the candles illuminated the surrounding. A place, A sillouate can be seen, standing in the room. A young boy. The boy stands out from the dark idly light room, he could only stand and stare. His hands holding a firm grip of a pristine blade between his fingers, The pristine blade held downwards, trails of trickling oozing liquid. Forming a small puddle, of Red. The smell and taste of faint iron, the boy just stand there. looking in front of him. Another silhouette can be seen, lying on the ground, a body, puddles forming around it. Huff... Huff... Huff... His looks at it, then the blade, and finally himself from the nearby window. His clothes too, stain from The same Red liquid colour. From The right side of his face all the way down to his shoulder. Staring at the window, his thoughts couldn't process it all the way he wanted to. The only thought he could come up with was. What did I wake up into? °°°°° Three Months later ~ A young maid, was walking through a hallway. She was carrying a tray. Full of food, she was making her way to her destination. Stoping in front a grand door, she knock a few times, and called "your highness your breakfast is here, may I come in?" However there was no reply from the other side. Without hesitation, opening the door with her other free hand before holding the tray again. The door open with a small creak. before closing the door behind her. She scan the room for the person in question. The Room was big, big enough to have other furniture's similar to a couches,a small table, a closet and a desk with a standing mirror beside it. The young maid look at the bed. The bed was big and grandeur. However it isn't the bed the caught her interest. Looking at it carefully, the blankets were fully covering the bed. She put down the tray, and walk towards the side of the bed. The blanket covering the person she was looking for, she leans and say "You're highness, it's already morning and I brought you your morning breakfast" "....mmm..." however, the only reply was a small groan. " Your highness, it's time to wake up. or not the food I brought will get cold." "hmm....." The maid only stare, and finally said "if you don't want to wake up soon, I might do something mischief to you. you're highness." in a whispering tone closer to the blanket. "hmhh ... five...more minutes...." "......" The maid walk over the bed. Her hands holding onto the blanket. And without hesitation pulled on it. with one strong pull. The blanket folded down to the bed. The person can finally be seen, sleeping peacefully without realizing his blanket being taken away. The maid walk towards a nearby window close to it. Grabbing the curtains and fully opening them, filling the once dark room with brilliant light!. "hmmm!? ahhh light!, to bright!" the person complain, holding both his hands on his face while rolling left to right. " ah, why is it so bright!" he complained. " Because it's already morning, your highness" the maid said as a matter of fact. " hmm! uh, why do I have to be rudely woken up like this...., why can't you wake me up normally... " " Because it's the only way I could wake you up you're highness." she said politely while looking directly at the person now sitting on the bed before continuing. "no matter how much I called, you don't seem to wake up at all, forgive my rude actions" she bowed. *sigh* "you don't have to apologize Eva. it's kinda my fault for being a heavy sleeper" "As you wish your highness prince Max" The young maid, brought over a towel and a small basin of water. for the young 'prince' to wash his face. After feeling refreshed, Food was now presented for him. The tray holds, Two eggs, Two pieces bakon, a side of salad and mash potato with gravy on top. with a scone bread with some butter and a glass of Orange juice to compliment everything. "I guess breakfast sure is great today" "yes, indeed" " um, Eva did you already have breakfast" " yes, I already have" " I see" grabbing a fork and knife, he started eating. "So, anything interesting lately?" "that is?" " well, anything to report to me?" he said " if you mean you want the latest news, then gladly." she said and a brief moment before continuing. " yesterday's harvest didn't go well because of the recent drought because it haven't rain for a while, News of a group of bandits emerging in the north plane pillaging some merchant's and wandering traveler's, to the south side some villages are rioting and calling for rebellion and shouting 'end the monarchy!', to the East some ships in the shipping yard got caught on fire mysteriously by accident, to the west we are hearing News of tension rising near our border's with our neighbors, case of murders and theif are still high in the City, guard's are deserting because of lack of discipline and some became corrupted, some of the noble house's didn't respond to our letter's and finally people are rioting and throwing stones and tomatoes outside of the gates." she said with one breath. "........" " I guess that's everything I can of now, do you need anything else you're highness?" " um no, no wait maybe some orange juice please " he said holding up his glass. " very well " holding a jug with both her hands while gently pouring it's contents into the glass. The young prince drank it. He could fell the cold refreshing orange juice washing down his palate. after drinking he exclaim a satisfy 'hahh' felling satisfied. but his hands holding the glass were the opposite, trembling and shaking. The thought in his mind thinking right now is 'Crap! What did I wake up into?!!'
