April 16 2019-5 hours before the farm fire
Jisung's POV:
It's 6 p.m. currently. Tonight at 11 p.m. I'm gonna burn the farm.
I've been doing all kinds of stupid things for the past 2 months so my parents would give up from giving me the throne on February 5 2020 but nothing changed their minds yet.
I was in at least 17 fights in past 2 months, I shaved our poodle to look like Avatar, put red handkerchief to color my father's white shirts, cut my mother's most expensive shoes and yet they did nothing. They just kept saying I'm gonna be 'the future of all this beautiful people right here in our kingdom' so I should pull myself together. Yes, people are great here, kind, humble...but I really don't wanna be a king.
They could give my throne to my cousin Minhyuk, I wouldn't mind and I surely believe people wouldn't mind neither. But my parents insists for me to be a king and they never asked me what I actually want to be.
To be honest I don't know what I wanna be neither yet but I'm 100% sure I don't wanna be closed in our castle until I get a son and then again until he turns 18. Sometimes I think my parents insist for me to be a king so they could have their freedom. I mean they've been king and queen for the past 18 years since they got married a year before I was born.
Don't even get me started with the fact that they're already looking for my future wife, the future queen of the Neo Kingdom. I already rejected 4 girls from 3 different families. If I'm ever gonna get married I want to marry someone that I'm gonna love and not someone to just be next to me on the throne and to give me the next king. That's not love and I don't want that.
10:49 p.m. that same day
"Did you bring gasoline?" I asked 2 boys that just came from the woods near kingdom.
"I don't think this is a good idea Ji." the shorter one said with concerned voice.
"Yeah Ji you shouldn't do this. Just ask them to give the throne to Minhyuk, they may agree this time." the other one said with cheerful voice but I still can hear a little concern in his voice.
"No. No they won't Donghyuck. I asked them 8 times already! They won't listen to me." I said to Donghyuck. "Give me the gasoline Renjun, it's okay nobody lives here 4 years already." I took the gasoline from the shorter one, Renjun.
"Be careful!" they said at the same time.
"I will. Now go and you too be careful so nobody sees you." I told them while pouring the gasoline on the little house, around the well and on the hay.
Renjun and Donghyuck were nowhere to be seen now so I stood few meters away from the farm and threw the lighter. I watched as little house started disappearing in huge fire.
I left my bracelet so tomorrow or tonight my parents will know that it was me who burned it.
April 17 2019, 01:27 p.m.
"I can't believe you did that! I'm so disappointed in you! Have you lost your mind?!" my mother came in my room all in tears waking me up with her yelling.
I already knew what she was talking about. She threw my bracelet at me and looked at me in disbelief.
"What have you turned into..." she whispered as more tears rolled down her cheeks. It was hard hearing that but that was the only way for me to not become a king.
My father stormed into my room now too.
"Have you lost your mind?!! Do you know that if anyone else found that bracelet you could have say 'goodbye' to your throne??!" my father said pointing to my bracelet.
I looked at him in confusion.
"You're lucky Mina found your bracelet and gave it to your mother, otherwise you would be in huge trouble and people would stone you." father said hugging my mother to calm her down.
I was in disbelief now. How. How are they still okay with the idea of me as a king?
