Being a king is hard. Well, it's hard ruling over a kingdom, not a king since I've been a king for 15 years so I'm pretty used to the thing I have to do, the things I should expect, etc. It's just that life was SO much easier when Majari was here. He's not dead, he's just ruling over the kingdom next door AKA 'The Hell kingdom' since apparently their queen has gone with her father to search for their family? It's also our duty to take care of the kingdom next door otherwise it'll crumble down. To be honest, I really miss Majari. He's been gone for MONTHS. And every since he left, I've been treated differently by everyone. And when I say everyone, I mean it. Back when Majari was here, we would sometimes visit the nearby village(s) to make sure that everyone is alright. And everyone would be smiling at us, bowing to us, smiling and everyone would be happy. But now that I'm alone whenever I visit, the elderly would would shout at me mean and hurtful names and tell me to go back to my castle and swim in a pool of gold coins. The adults/parents would also call me hurtful names, give me dirty looks or tell their children to stay away from me. The teens would do the same as their parents. Give me dirty stares or tell the youngsters to stay away from me. When the children are on their own playing outside, they would stick out their tongues at me. And the guards rarely ever listen to what I say or do. Sometimes while walking around the castle, I hear servants in other rooms spreading rumours about me, or talking about things from my past.
"I hear that Sir Anai has slept with over 50 men! Can you believe that?!" "Really? I've heard that he only dates men for money, pleasure and attention! And when he has the money get wants, he would break up with the other poor guy and leave him heartbroken!" "What a gold digger!" "More like a waste of space!" "Does king Majari know about this?" "He's probably cheating on the king with another man!" "That's almost Impossible! They've been married for 15 years! Although it CAN be still possible..." "Is he even GRATEFUL for what he has?" They would say. 'Why have they suddenly started talking about me so negatively?' I wonder. Of course I'm grateful for what I have! Although I have to admit that I HAVE slept with many men in the past, and that I enjoy being rich and getting attention. I've also been in many relationships with rich men whose feelings for me I don't really care about. But, ever since I met Majari...I've felt...different! I felt truly loved! I felt like money didn't matter anymore. I felt like he was the sun to my galaxy. I felt so special with him like as if I was the only person he cared about. Sometimes he writes sweet letters and poems and send them to me. I would reply with how much I miss him and if there's any news from the kingdom. I wish all this pain and stress could disappear. I didn't like to feel judged. His letters seem to be the only thing that helps me cope with the stress and prevents me from sobbing myself to sleep. I just feel so lonely, worthless and stupid without him. I've been planning to tell him about how I've been treated these past months but whenever I sit down to write him the letter I start sobbing quietly while covering my face with my arms and head on the desk in my room.
This morning I received a letter from him. It said;
" Dear Anai,
Good news! Hiroshima got back with her Father and a young boy who apparently is her brother. They just arrived last night, and they suggested that we should all have dinner tomorrow night to get to know each other. For some reason they all seem stressed and empty inside. They refused to answer any of my questions about their little 'adventure'. They said that they'll tell everything once we're all together. I'll come pick you up today and we'll go back to the castle I've been in for the past few months. I look forward to seeing you soon, darling. You know I can't end a letter without a poem for you, so here it is; 'King of my heart, you are amazingly dependable, reliable and you fill my life with unspeakable joy and this is why I love you with undying love.'
From, your one and only husband, ~Majari"
