Chapter two.°

KING TRODUO of Lynnfield the first of his name.

Troduo po√.

Twenty years ago, I received a life-changing prophecy, ok maybe it was more of a warning but when you are a man like myself such things like warnings can be used to your advantage.
All my life all I had ever wanted was to sit on my father's throne, but as the son of a secondary concubine, I knew that I could never achieve That Dream.
But such things like ranks have never stopped me, and like I said when you were a man like myself any situation can be used to your advantage. the perfect opportunity presented itself to me, in the form of 'Change' something my useless and weak old man had tried to bring about. you see my father had always been a weak and stupid man, he saw too much good in everyone and tried to make life better for everyone. even the scum of the earth that did not deserve to warm my bed nor breathe the same air as I did. but I'm glad he was such a man because his weaknesses presented me with the perfect opportunity to achieve my lifelong dream. Growing up in the royal castle, my half-brother the crown prince of Lynnfield, Enfield the dumb. Had always been the favourite child, the one everyone doted on the one everyone respected and loved. my father called him the future of our Kingdom, even my mother worship the ground he walked on.
Granted she did that to remain in the good Graces of the Queen,
Enfield's mother, Queen Ruth a ruthless, vile and evil woman who had more blood on her hands than even I could boast of.
Funny, even she did not see my move for the throne as a possibility, that was because I am the best at the strategy game of waiting and being humble, the same game I now play again to achieve another dream that many before myself had not even dreamt of, but I am going to achieve it, the Gods are damned. Why should I listen to spirits beings I cannot see just because they exist, I did not become king by doing as I was instructed.
The Gods had sent their warning to me hoping to deter me from acquiring the throne of My Father, but if anything their warning served as a reminder that I could get more than just the throne of My Father, the gods showed me that I could get the world.
I refuse to place my trust in a power that will not bring me fame and wealth, powers that view me as a lesser being,  compared to that of the beast and creatures that call themselves supernatural beings. there is absolutely nothing special about them and I am going to be the first to prove that fact, I will destroy these creatures and bring them to where they belong, in a cage or wherever I want them to be.
But like I said, for now, I had to play the waiting game, the Gods had done well to deliver this opportunity to me, and for once they served their purpose.
Even if it did not appear that way at first, I will admit that when my sister the high priestess Camparil had presented herself to me, an hour after I had beheaded our father, I was a bit scared for my life I had planned the coyere without thoughts of what the gods would say or how they would react, I was so engrossed in my Pursuit for my ambition that I had all but Castaway any thoughts of the gods and their Judgment or their reaction to the back of my mind.
But seeing the high priestess of the gods in the centre of my newly-acquired throne room had Awakened all human emotions in me.
I was a second away from falling at her feet and begging for my life, my pride had been dealt a heavy blow that night before now I prided myself on being a man of one to no emotions, the only emotion I allowed and displayed often enough was anger. when I realized that I would never be anyone important in life unless I took the throne for myself, I fought every day to kill any and every emotion in my body. and for the most part, I had been pretty successful but that night, her presence made everything up to that point seem a dream of some sort, one that I had quickly regretted the moment I saw the high priestess in the form of my SISTER.

RECALL.

Finally, after years of planning and pretence I have finally gotten the one thing I wanted, I am now the ruler of Lynnfield and soon there will be no one alive with the guts to challenge my claim on the throne.
I had just finished washing away all traces of blood from my person, the blood of My Father was the most prominent, seeing as I was the one to behead the dumb old man. now I'm standing in the room that was once his royal Chambers, how ironic I had been called into this very room a total of zero time's because I was not one of the important people or an important child of the king, the same room that I had been denied entrance was the same room that is now mine,  I am now standing and being dressed in robes that I had long admired for as long as I could remember dressed by the same Slaves that he was planning to free and give  " a more dignified life" to.  as if the very fact that they are allowed to breathe the same air as The Royals or pharians that there served was not dignified enough, " your majesty" my wondering mind was interrupted by the voice of my second in command and right-hand man Toufin a man in his early thirties with a hight that matched mine at 6.4 he went down on one knee and bowed his head as is required of all Nobles when in the presence of the king a sign of respect reserve for the highest authority the gesture made my position more realistic.
"Forgo the formalities Toufin you and I are way past that, but tell me why have you returned? did you not receive a direct command from me ordering you to return home tonight and celebrate our victory with your family?" The scums had finally finished clothing me with the robes reserved for only the king seeing no reason to keep them around I dismissed them with a wave of my hand, I watched amused as they crawled on their knees out of my chambers, turning my attention back to Toufin who was now on his feet but still kept his eyes cast down a sign that he saw himself to be below me how empowering.
"You have still not told me why you have chosen to disobey my direct order to you Toufin", I said making myself comfortable on the mini throne in the room he went back down on his knees before answering " your majesty I would never intentionally undermine your authority I was in fact on my way out of the castle when I received the news that the high priestess had been admitted into the throne room awaiting an audience with you" at the mention of the high priestess my brain froze up either in fear no not fear I am Troduo the first, slayer of kings I am not afraid of anyone. I repeated those words in my head until I found my voice again, taking a deep breath to compose myself faking nonchalance "has she made her intentions known?" I asked in a calm and collected manner while my heart was doing summersaults in my chest, Toufin met my eyes for the first time since he walked into my chambers, I strengthened my spine and met his eyes show no fear. " she made it known to the guards of the inner court that she seeks an audience with you not as your sister but as the priestess of Lynnfield" he dropped his head back down knowing that he did not have to complete his sentence it was clear even to a blind person the priestess comes in the name of the Gods. Everything I had done up to that point seemed to not be worth the wrath of the merciless God Who was rumoured to be as vengeful as a poisonous snake, at this point I imagined that I resembled a dead man because even I could feel the colour drain from my face " wherrre is shee" I cursed myself for letting the fear show in my voice as if it matters chances are that this was my last moments alive. I did not register Toufin reply after that but I felt myself move to follow him to my inevitable fate. Toufin stopped at the entrance to the Throne room holding the doors open for me, even he was not stupid enough to try and anger the Gods by presenting himself to the high priestess without being summoned. I proceeded to approach the throne walking around the priestess who stood motionless at the centre of the room, she did not react to my presence even when Toufin announce my arrival not wanting to be seen as weak any more than I had to, I dismiss Toufin. when it was just the priestess and myself alone in the throne room I took my place on the throne of my father. at least even if the Gods condemned me to death I would die with the knowledge that I did get to sit on the throne I fought for.
"Two choices are presented to you today TRODUO," she said not wasting a single second  "step down from the throne that you have acquired with the blood of innocent people, or remain king and be the reason why the creatures of the moon would burn this kingdom to the ground" did I hear correctly? I was given a choice to remain king?  If the priestess saw my confusion and happiness she did not comment instead she turned to walk away. I did not have to think about anything I knew that I would do anything to remain king and since the Gods themselves would not condemn me then no one could do anything to me, already my brain had begun looking for ways to make sure that nothing could threaten my new position for as long as I live.

Present-day.
I may have had a moment of weakness in what I thought were my final moments but since that day I have done everything in my power to ensure that nothing would ever threaten me in such a way ever again. I was prepared for the creatures of the moon and they would never know what hit them until it was too late

Soooo......???
This is my very first book on Wattpad, I have read a lot of books and I mean 😏 a lot.
I haven't seen or read about the War of all wars between the two realms so I decided to write it (it's a lot of work)😅
Seriously, I now more than ever respect the writers who specialize in the Paranormal world. Keep up the great work guys.
