Chapter 13: The King’s Emotional distress.P1.

[Claude Faustus]

 

I can’t tell what’s wrong with me…..

 

Just  four months after the regal game, I set up for my highness….

 

He has been experiencing some strange emotions lately, and has been interpreting them in different ways.

 

He hasn’t bad mouthed anyone, or shown any form of violence at all; unlike he normally does. Instead, his highness has been lying down on his bed, ever since that night. He hasn’t even said a word to any of the others, but still tends to only rely on me. But even now, he hasn’t told me exactly what is causing him such grief.

 

Even I, at the moment, do not understand the reason of this sudden behavior of his. So, I took it upon myself to search for the root of this problem. I will appease his highness’ distress, even if it’s the last thing I will ever do. For the price of a soul ;of course.

 

“Your Highness.” I called

 

“Yes, Claude.” He answered

 

“I have brought you breakfast, shall I set it aside for you-

 

“I’m not hungry.” He cut me off.

 

I sit there for a bit and wait for him to say something else.

 

“Claude, why don’t you look at me like you do to Lady Helicie?” Alois starts. “What do you think the Lady thinks of me?”

 

Oh, so that’s what’s wrong with him. I wouldn’t have thunk it possible for a brat like this to experience something so disgusting such as love….It is unthinkable, in fact.

 

“I’m sure she thinks, you’re extraordinary.” I lied

 

“No she doesn’t you’re lying!” he yells “ I know you are, liar!”

 

I clear my throat and set the meal I had made for him on the beside table.

 

“Forgive me, you’re correct about that. I have been untruthful to you, and will take up any punishment you have in mind. However, what would you like me to do about how you’re feeling?”

 

He turns to his side and raises up at the edge of his bed. The troubled look on his face….it was just like…..

 

“I don’t know…” he wailed.

 

I watched as tears began to fall from his face. He was crying tears? How weak these humans are. How did I even end up serving a master such as this one….
