THIRTEEN

They had planned the whole day and perfected it. Louis was right. They were having a public execution.

Louis wore his cloak as he approached the stage where his lover stood with people gathered around it.

The King and Benedict sat on the stage proudly and murmurs and whispers echoed throughout below them.

Louis signalled Liam. With one nod, Liam and the crew surrounded the place and one crew member stood behind each member of the army present.

Louis's own weapons were hidden beneath his cloak. He drew closer with Luna and Leo holding his hands tightly.

"Dadda." Leo sniffled when he saw Harry on the stage with a noose around his neck.

Louis took the dagger Harry had gifted him and with precise aim, threw it so that it hit the King's chair.

Gasps were heard and the king and Benedict stood up in a hurry trying trying locate the source of the attack.
"Actions have consequences!" Louis yelled.

All heads snapped in his direction. The army tried to move forward but cutlasses to their necks made them halt. Harry looked up. Upon spotting his children and Louis, he smirked.
He knew what was going to happen.

"Guards!" The King yelled.

Louis tsked. "They will not be helping you today your majesty. Look around." Louis said.

Louis approached the stage with his two children. "Show yourself!" Benedict yelled at Louis as he started walking onto the stage.

"Now what's the fun in that?" Louis asked as he tilted his head.

"Respect your king!" The King yelled.

"You are not my king. You have a noose around my King's neck right now and I can't have that." Louis tsked.

"I will pull the lever." Benedict threatened.

"You do that, and you will live in fear of Luna and Leo Styles. Go ahead, kill their father and see what happens to you Benedict." Louis snarled.

Louder gasps were heard from the citizens gathered around the stage.
"That's Prince to you!" Benedict yelled at Louis.

Louis hummed. "I suppose but I don't care." Louis shrugged. He turned to the citizens. "Today I will tell you the truth." Louis said.

The King laughed. "The truth? You're nothing but a filthy pirate." He snorted.

Louis turned and shot daggers with his eyes at the king from under his cloak. "A pirate? Yes but I am not filthy. I am however, your worst nightmare." Louis smirked. "I will expose you. What you did to the queen!" Louis started.

"She died of a heart attack!" Benedict yelled.

"Liars! What you did to Harry here! He was not always a pirate, ladies and gentlemen!" Louis yelled out. "What you did to your son!" Louis spat out.

"My son, is perfectly fine. I have not done anything to Benedict!" The King protested.

"Not your illegitimate trash! Your real son. The one who supposedly died in a storm! The people will know!" Louis smirked menacingly.

"And who will believe a pirate over the king?" The King asked victoriously.

Louis smirked. "Humour me. They will in the end." Louis chuckled.

"We'll start with what you did to my Harry." Louis said to the king before turning the people. "Captain Harry Styles, was not always the most feared pirate on the seven seas. He was born to a family of bakers. He was fifteen when he lost his mother, father and sister. He had closed the bakery after his family had gone to sleep one night and went to collect more firewood for the cold night. When he returned, his house was burning and the king was setting fire to another house. The King burned his entire village down over a dispute with the village chief. Harry's family burned alive. After that he had to turn to piracy." Louis said with a raised voice.
