Fredrick's POV:

"What do you mean she's gone?" The woman says.
She was wearing a red cloak, with the hood still up. But you can still see her beauty under the moonlight.
"One second she was in the dungeon, the next she was gone" I reply.
I was hesitant to tell her at first. I thought I could find Augustine beforehand, but no. She was long gone.
"I will say this no more, boy! If she ever gets hurt, consider our deal broken." She threatens.
But I already saw it coming.

We were in the woods, at night. Hidden by the trees.
"I promise you, nothing will happen to her." I reassure her.
But she doesn't seem fazed, as she says "And what if your father finds her first?"
"Uncle" I correct her, "and I'll deal with it"
"Oh that's what you said when they suspected her. That's also what you said when she was thrown in the dungeon like a filthy little animal."
"I can't do anything if he's restricting all my moves" I shoot back.
"Look boy. I'll give you two more weeks. If you don't find her by then, our deal breaks."
"Fine"

I scurry back to my bedroom, as I don't wish anyone to see me.

Uncle blames me for the death of mother.
"It's all because of your foolishness Augustine Kensworthy had the chance to murder your mother, son" he said to me.

God how much I dispise that man.
Not only he's murdered my father, but also took advantage of my mother. He harassed her in the name of being in disguise.
And now he's acting like he cared for more than just her body.

Everyday since I've found out he wasn't my actual father I cursed the shit out of him.
Never have I ever thought I could hate him more, until he's showed up, murdered my father for the throne, and took his place.

I can't say I dislike my father, but he was a honourable man. He treated me and mother with utter respect. And I loved him for that.

I cannot wait to see that jolloks beg for his life. And I'll make sure I'll witness to that day
