All is fair in Love and War

Thoughts and despair

(AN) IM SO SORRYYYY I HAD EXAMS SKDSFS ILL TRY TO UPDATE THIS AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE

Adrien resided in his chambers looking at the ceiling going through the conversation he had with his old man over and over again

His hand rubbing the redness on his check

It should be a big deal that the old man slapped me it was expected yet so disappointing

He knew he was a disappointment to the family; it was in his father's eyes. He closed his eyes and he let out a shaky breath he didn't know he held.

What would Mother say now? She would hate us now.

Well she should.

She married a trash dog and gave birth to a monster.

Now Adrien knew he wasn't a good person; it was an understatement. He didn't care about others feelings or how they hurt. He didn't care if he killed people. He was an asshole and he knew it but so was dear old dad. He wasn't blind to know that his old man did bad things, no, inhumane things.

Like attacking a neighboring kingdom to steal the cat and ladybug miraculous or killing the royal family except the princess who disappeared.

It's not like he cares.

Caring. Adrien scoffed at the term. Caring means heart and heart means feelings and feeling means weakness. Weakness won't get you anywhere, weakness means disappointment from your superiors and father. Weakness was crying over a dead mother and desperation to have your father's love. Weakness was actually caring for others until they had fun with their toy and decided to throw it. Weakness meant pain and screaming, begging for the pain to stop.

But those people didn't really do anything bad to them

'But they deserve it they took your mother from you' a voice in his head barks at him

And now the remaining survivors formed an organisation to plot against the royal family

But so what, let them come. Honestly he would be better off without his old man breathing down on his neck 24/7

Adrien walked towards his bedside pulled the covers and collapsed on the mattress and pulled the covers to wrap around himself. Feeling his eyelids getting heavier.

Before the man could think of anything else sleep quickly succumbed to him

5 Hours earlier

He ran to the corridor to the entrance of a huge door. He gently twists the door knob and walks in. He scans the room taking every face until he stops at a woman. She had pale skin with rosy cheeks and hair tied in a low ponytail. What caught his attention was her eyes. She had midnight blue eyes with lighter shades specked and eyes matching her hair.

Adrien has never seen anyone else with blue hair. Other than the figure in front of him the only other person is Princess Kagami.

The rest of the meeting felt like a blur but he subtly sneaks a few peaks at the blue haired woman with a few glances at who was speaking and sometimes his father.

Well it was a blur for a while until they started shouting something about a fox miarclou- Wait what!

Adrien snapped out of it and tried to start paying very close attention.

Keyword. Tried

"SILENCE"

It took everything he had to not flinch. To run away. To cower. To hide. To curl up in a ball and wait for the sounds to go. He was a fool to think he would be used to Father's shouting. A complete utter fool. He could feel himself numbing. Feeling himself fade.
