His little hands caressed the white soft fur. Kohl was so happy. His parents never allowed him to have a pet before. "Look Isoldi, look how cute he is," he said, showing his nanny his new friend.

She kneeled in front of him and looked at the little boy with a warm smile. Isoldi loved Kohl dearly, and he loved her too, more than he loved his own parents.

"He's really cute, just like you are. Can I hold him too?" Isoldi asked.

"Yes, here." Kohl placed the little white bunny gently into her hands.

The past few days, Kohl had cuddled his pet and nurtured it with much care. 'Snow' he had called it.

After Isoldi gave him his friend back, little Kohl fed Snow a little piece of carrot, until his father suddenly came stomping in the room. Kohl got scared, his father never came into his room.

"H-hello father," he said with a little quavering voice.

His father took the white little animal by its neck fur and held it up in the air. "I heard you lost your fight today?" the King said while looking at Snow.

Being 7 years old now, Kohl needed to train and fight every day to become a strong warrior. The King didn't like weak men.

"I'm sorry father, but...h-he was older than I am and a lot taller. I had no chance."

"Excuses... You need to be trained more," his father said sternly and he dropped the bunny in Kohl's lap, making the boy let out a sigh of relief. "You need to stop showing mercy!"

"I will do better next time, father, I promise."

"What's his name?" the King asked, looking at the animal in his son's lap.

Kohl's eyes started to twinkle, his father never paid attention to the things he liked. "Snow, he is so cute and--"

"Twist its neck."

It was an order, coming from the King himself.

"W-what?" Kohl asked.

"You heard me. Don't make me say it again, son!"

Kohl's little lip trembled. His eyes watered. His hands shook. He looked into the little bunny's eyes. The animal didn't have a clue about what's just been said. It was so innocent and never harmed anybody.

"But father...I..."

A hard slap landed in his face. It hurt and Kohl started to cry. Isoldi couldn't watch her prince being hit. "My King--" Another slap bounced off the walls and this time it was Isoldi taking the hit. Kohl couldn't bear it if anything happened to her. "I'll do it! I'll do it!" he cried.

10 minutes later, he held a dead bunny in his hands. It took him lots of force as it was hard to break the neck. It was horrible, feeling the little bones crack underneath his little fingers.

"I'm sorry, Snow. I'm so sorry!" he cried, while he stroked the white fur for the last time.

~ Present time ~

The tournament was over and Kohl was the strongest fighter out of all the 8 kings, just like he already knew he would be. 3 days after the tournament he and Arya got married. It was a cold and loveless wedding day even though it was as luxurious as only royals could have.
