The Swords Of Love (BoyXBoy)

Chapter 1: Hello Friend

My FATHER was an understanding king, he loved all his people and welcomed all to come into the arms of the kingdom which they would stay safe and without persecution for their past, but if their past becomes their present in which they fall back into their old ways, then such actions would sentence them to death. He was not a cruel king, but he was not tolerating the nongratitude of the people he would bring into his kingdom. Those who disobeyed the law after the cleansing they swore, then that disobedience would be punishable by death. "A very understanding persecution, no torture, just a very fast and quick death by the guiotine" my father would say when I would ask him why he does it. I never felt it was fair to punish a human being to death because of a mistake, but I do understand that my father has to make his kingdom sweeped of the evil doers. and that was exactly his mission.

This life was the best for my brothers, they always lived in luxury without ever rebeling over anything. Now, even though I had everything a child could ask for, I never had friends, so I began to look for one, every birthday I asked my father for a friend but he always said "friends will distract your from the throne, when you grow up you wil understand" I still dont understand. my brothers and I were never alowed to go into the market or outside the castle walls, without proper gaurds. But my father did it for less of the fact of being a born into royalty but just for protection since we were still children. My brothers always loved to play swords, and act as if they were kings. My father always said I would take over first since I was the eldest and would have the choice of where I would position my brothers in which castles in our kingdom. I never cared much for being king though, never thought I would need to, always thought my brothers would be better kings than I would ever be. But sadly I was the eldest, I was to be the Head King andbmy brothers would be apointed as lords of different lands, but still hold the crown as if kings. Since I was a boy my father always kept an eye on my actions at all times and never to go anywhere without protection but I was just wanting a friend, my brothers were just so much different from me, I never suited into their actions of violence.

"luke, my son, please come here" my father spoke as he sat on his thrown while i sat at the window to the left looking at the market place.

"yes father?" I spoke as I began walking over "is it supper time?" i asked as a smile slipped my lips "shall i fetch miran, dietrium and liam?" i asked as i hoped with a smile on my face that he would approve of me to wonder into the garden alone to find my brothers.

"my son, you may do as you please. You are now soon to be a man, only a few more days till your eighteenth birthday" he replied with a warm assertive voice ending in a chuckle. He was right only 4 more days and I will be 18. I was not very enthusiastic about it but i did not let my father know that.

"yes father, only a few more days and then I will be taking your crown!" I said as I began to open the door and hear my father gasping for air from his laughter. But honestly, my brothers are only three years younger than i am. Yes, they are three from my mothers womb, triplets. I guess thats why I am not really much like them. I wish I could be, then I can be a king like my father.

"your mind racing my prince?" a boys voice captured my attention when I was outside looking at the fointain. As I turn my head I see not a small boy, but one that looks a year or two older than I am. "i am sorry my prince, I am your new guidence, servent and gaurd." he said with his face facing down on one knee in respect to me.

"Just stand up, are you knew here? I am a prince yes, born into the royal family, next inline to be king. But understand one thing about me, I do not want you to call me prince, or your majesty or anything that degrades you from me. You are human as I am and I expect you to act just as such. By the way what Is your name?" I said with a very friendly smile as I kept looking at him kneeling still. "please get up" I added

"I am Tre, But I apologize my prince, but I can not do that" he said with stutter in his voice still trying not to be rude. "you are royalty and if your father or brothers found it to be inexcusable then I will be sentenced to the dungeon, I have been there once and I do not plan to return" he added with a very hurt emotional voice.

"You have nothing to fear tre, just do as I ask and under the true servant and gaurd law you do as your master asks correct? So then only do me this one favor as my personal servent and gaurd, I ask you to be my friend and just call me by name. If you disobey me then you will go to the dungeon" I added with the laughter in my voice. He smiled and rose up.

"where are you going my pr.... I mean Luke?" Tre asked as he tilted his head to the side as if he awaited an answer. But he should know from the gaurds that I do not answer questions. I lead the way to where I need to go. But he is around my age, I did not want to ignore him. He is my first friend now after all.

"i am going to find my brothers, its time for supper. Can you help me find them please?" I asked instead of comanding him to do it. Thats the real difference between my brothers and I. They are a bunch of spoiled brats that only expect things to be done for them, but I on the other hand choose to ask, I think thats what really makes me unfit to be king in my fathers eyes. But he is ever so persistent to make me ready for the throne.

"shall we go luke? I think I last saw them in the..." tre said with a smile pointing to the left of the castle where I heard a loud scream cutting him off and making his smile disappear. As I was about to begin to run toward my brother's location, I saw only a shadow fly passed me with high speed in which case I ignored it because of my brother's scream. As I get to the garden that my brothers were playing swords in I hear "I have been waiting for you" it was liam's voice but sounding less childish play and more blood thirsty. I then feel a very hard tap against my head which makes me fall to the ground face first to the side where a pool of blood was inching toward me. As I slowly began to follow the trail of blood with my eyes, I saw Dietrium and Miran laying on the ground not moving. So I screamed but before I was about to get up I hear Tre.

"get down luke, its a trap!" I hear tre scream as I am tackled to the ground with tears filling my eyes. As I look up about to fight whom ever was the tackler, I saw tre. When he layed upon me keeping no distance between his body and mine to protect me, I could not keep from grabbing on to him and as I did I could feel his body against mine. his body was not muscular, but it was defined so well, I could feel his chest and arms fully pressed against me, I could not move. I honestly did not want to. He then got up and still pitched over me I looked into his eyes, they were blue, like the sky that glazed over the kingdom. But before I could speak, he leaned down toward me and was about to wisper something into my right ear. But sadly I fell into the darkness of the faint at heart. I kept thinking as I layed in the darkness of my own mind 'This is why I was not fit to be king. Even the slightest of over exertion was my down fall. If i am Unable to push through the sword practice I will be begining soon then what shall father do?'
