To you, My dear, I am forever sorry.

Chapter One: the meeting.

The first mistake I did was get lost into his eyes, as for the second...

The second was falling in love.

I remember asking his name, he was quiet, for a second, as if he was debating with himself- weighing the cons and pros.

I remember getting irritated...irritated on how long he took to answer, it was rude of course, to wait that long to answer a Prince.

"My name is Jamie"

Ha, what an odd name? Whoever named him must've despised him

"What a pretty name, tell me Jamie, where are you from?" I grabbed his cheeks and started stroking it softly.

Of course, I was never interested in his name, nor was I interested in him in general, I was only stalling the time.

But, this guard, he did not respond, instead he kept quiet, as if he heard my thoughts, he was a strange person, and an even stranger guard.

For he did not speak a word to me, nor did he follow order from me, he stood outside my room in the corner of my door, with a blade in his hand. I started to even jokingly call him the silent wind.

It was not a coincidence that my brother had called me, and I had known it was about the Guard.

"Your highness" I stood before my brother and bowed, as many also did.

"Stand." He ordered.

My brother, alif, was a simple person, he was clear with how he wants anything, and he is headstrong and confident with his words and actions. He is, as far as my knowledge goes, the most successful king we our kingdom has had in a long time.

"Leave," he gestured to the guards, " I want to speak privately with the young Prince."

The guards left the room and gifted us with empty silence.

Alif had broken the silence, "Your new guard, what do you think of him?"

"He is quite strange to say the least"

"Oh?"

"He does not speak, nor does he follow orders, it is as if he is nothing but an empty vessel with no soul, I am starting to fear that he may have been sent by the God Anubis."

Alif let out a hard laugh before beginning to make satire remarks of my words.

"A vessel without a soul? Oh dear, I am afraid you have read too much of our history-" he said in-between laughs, "Do you not know where he is from?"

I felt a fever on my face rising, I scoffed and turned around, " of course not, if the mouth refused to open how will the mother feed it?"

Alif laughed harder and harder, which had caused the hall to echo loudly.

"What a stupid analogy to use, my dear brother, if he is the one who has his mouth closed what will you be feeding him? After all it is you that wants to know about him, not the poor guard"

"It truly should not that humourious Your highness.. nor should it be humourious that my guard does not follow orders? I want you to replace him."

"No..no. I would not prefer that, it would not solve the issue really, now would it? Dear brother"

"Then, pray, do tell, where is he from?"

"why don't you ask him yourself?" As the words left alifs mouth, I heard a door open..
