To my dear sunshine

Chapter 7- Beloved

A few months passed from the first day, It felt like years for a one special person. Yup you guessed it right for Prince theseus it felt like centuries. The methods of torture just continued for many of his classes and became a daily routine. No-one but the people in the  room knew it happened... If someone did come into the room Miss Rose would just hug Theseus ( giving a secret pinch ) and let go while showering him all kinds of compliments. Hence, a rumor spread across the kingdom "The Rose without thorns for the children to hold".  It talked all about how warm-hearted Miss Rose was towards to children. If they only knew.....

The pain Prince Theseus felt

The joy Miss Rose felt when she sees Theseus crumble before her

The tears that were always threathening to spill during the day would fall like a broken dam at nights

The thoughts that tortured prince Theseus

The problems that would occur when everything was out in the open.

Never-mind that today

It was a sunny saturday, expected of a day in august, Theseus was taking a stroll around the castle. Ever since he moved here, he wanted to find different types of secret hiding spots or passages. Sadly he was always distracted and that was why after a year he could finally do it. The plan was to do the search from the highest floor to the ground floor. For this long day he packed a few essentials : Biscuits, water, map and most importantly his wooden training sword.

He finished searching the east and west wings which was way more difficult that he thought as they were nearly identical. There were 3 passageways in the East wing on the other hand the west wing there were 2 secret passages. He located all of the secret passageways but exploration of them would be another day. The South wing has 4 passageways since in case of a fire the passageways are a known fact as an escape route since all the servants and guards live there.

All was left now was the main building where there were over gazillion(In Theseus's opinion) rooms.  

Thesus let out loud sigh 

"Well we all have to start somewhere right?" Theseus said out loud to particularly no-one and headed to the first room.

To his great surprise the room seemed to be containing very important artefacts from the past princes who lived in this castle. The room had the past five generations of princes's portraits.Eagerly Theseus ran to the farthest portrait from the entrance to the room to see a several young boys each with a different face from each-other. There were twelve boys in the picture but one captivated his eyes. A blonde -haired blue eyed man with a crown on his head. Elegant black wings were grazing on the floor.He had a cold stare and his mouth was shaped in a frown as if the world's most devastating thing happened to him. What else was unique about him? he had the crown that his father wore on his head. Not only that but it looked like that the crown was painted on later on. Theseus went down the pictures the same crown was being tossed over. The one at the right bottom corner  had it then the center one had it later it was the top left -side corner had it. The last picture was his uncle( and no-one else) but the crown was not painted on his head.

Questions raced in theseus 's mind Why did his uncle not have a crown? why did the one with blonde hair and blue eyes always with the addition of black wings get the crow-

It made sense all of a sudden . The crown was dictating who became the next emperor.The crown had been painted on after the prince became the king. The reason why his uncle did not have a crown was because his uncle never the king because his dad did! Immediately he felt sad for his uncle. In this room each painting amongst the men there will be one with a crown but in a painting with only his uncle there was no crown to be seen...
