A Princess Story

Crazy in Action

"Why are you acting like this? We could have worked together" The King questions.

"Work together?" Lucas scoffs as he takes out a knife from his guard's belt. He walks around while admiring the blade.

"Why would I work with someone like you?" He approaches the king.

"You don't think I know what you've been doing? I have spies all over your kingdom. None of them think you're fit to be a king. You're not the only ones looking for Ryujin. Some of your closest allies knows she exist and are looking for her too. They want you gone."

"I know you've been using my kingdom as your trashcan for the longest time. You send your criminals here. You send anything or anyone here when you don't see value in them. That's why you sent Ryujin and her sister here when they were babies because you thought you didn't need them. That's what you did with Minju by marrying her off to me because you didn't need her anymore because you thought Ryujin was dead" he exhales while running his thumb on sharp edge of the knife.

"You!" The King charges but Lucas stops him by pressing the knife against his neck.

"I don't want to hurt you but I will. That's why this wedding happened. I'm tired of everyone looking down on my kingdom because of you're doing! I'm tired of you using my kingdom as your garbage! I'm tired of my kingdom having to suffer because of your lies and greed."

The King laughs, "You're acting like this place is so great. The King is rarely sober. The Crown Prince has anger issues and hurts his people. This kingdom is garbage even without us sending our criminals here. That's why our kingdom is so peaceful and has no violence because they get sent to the place where they belong which is here!" He spits at Lucas.

Lucas closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, "You know what? I change my mind" he quickly takes the knife away from his neck and stabs him in the stomach.

Lucas backs away and the King drops to his knees while clutching his wound. The Queen is screaming from behind him, trying to get to her husband but the guards are stopping him.

"Please! Don't hurt him anymore!" The Queen begs.

"I wasn't gonna but he made do it" Lucas scratches his head with the knife.

"Why did you have to make me so angry?" He pulls back the King's head so he's looking up at Lucas.

"How about this? Let's ask my new wife what we should do to you?"

Without letting go of the King's head, Lucas focuses on Minju. "My wife, what should we do to this man that claimed to be your father?"

"You were gonna have me kill my sister? Were you ever gonna tell me that her and I are related? We're you gonna tell me after I killed her to make me feel guilty? You used me. I loved you but you never loved me. You only wanted to secure the throne for yourself" Minju is clearly in pain.

"I'm sorry, Minju. I'll be better. We can go home after this. Please tell Prince Lucas to let us go" The King begs.

Minju doesn't say anything and just looks away.

"Minju! Tell him to stop! Please!" The Queen begs Minju now.

Again, Minju doesn't say anything.

"I guess that answers it. Good bye, father" Lucas quickly slit the King's throat. The queen screams more and attempts to break free from the guards that's holding her.

"Gosh, I didn't think my wedding would be so bloody" Lucas drops the knife.

I close my eyes. I accidentally gasps and squirm with what I saw.
