"Your majesty, are you... Sure about this?" The guard had said to him one day, the day right before the prince would take a leave from his kingdom, to avenge his family.

"I am. Why do you ask?" He had said, he was just checking the equipments, he had seen a lot of rifle in the room, that he had forgotten how his castle looked like.

"It's. Nothing" the guard said, his voice cracked.

But, the prince didn't like it, it hadn't sat right with him and he said the only thing that came to his mind.

"It's okay if you have a problem."

"I had that thought once, but i wanna continue" the guard was confident, his head held up high, his face had a expression of proudness.

"I know your wife's delivery is in a few days, you can stay back" he had said, he had quite a lot of army anyway, though he doesn't want to regret and think he had not done enough.

"No sire, I was in a war when my wife gave birth to our first-born, I was so excited i d-didn't notice, how everything seemed so fine, so so fine, an-and on the day the king had demolished our rival king, they killed my child, i never saw their face, I hadn't know if it was a boy or a girl, I couldn't mention it to my w-wife, she would be heartbroken" he had started crying till then.

"I don't want my second child to be taken away too, sire, the thing that had hurted more was, the village we lived in had killed my child, saying I didn't fight for our kingdom enough, because it took a lot of time, and iwant to finish as soon as possible, I can't loose my child and my wife sire, she won't be able to take the d-death of her another baby" he had completed, his eyes had shown orange, he was a beta, married to an un-mated omega.

By the time, the prince had dismissed him and told him to rest because tomorrow was a difficult day.

"I'll found you. I dnt care if you're a man or a woman, justice serves equally." He said and walked right through the room that night, he was confident.

A month had passed, all the connection to the prince and army had been lost, they were dead or alive. It was difficult to know.

Because the bond of a father-and-son, prince-and-the-kingdom, has been affected, it was fading.

The war was going on or not, it and as unknown to them, but they liked to believe he would come back, and there kingdom will no longer fear the person, who can probably destroy their families' in the future

The first month was harder, they didn't knew, if he would come back or not, they had become someone who can probably wait for their king but not if he had been killed.

People are so weak, and if they found one person who has the courage, they will follow him like a herd of sheeps.

But, not soon after it can turn into a circle-of-death, we have to be self-conscious, it's not bad, but thinking that you're not perfect, that you're lacking something, then you're wrong.

They say, no-one is perfect. They are wrong, everyone is perfect, in their own way, no-one is lacking something that the other has, it's just you have something they don't, and even if you don't, you're a lot better in what you already do, what you already are.

Being self-conscious is not something bad, it's just shouldn't get out-of-hand. What will you do, if someone tells you, you're rude, you're agressive, you're arrogant. Atleast you know it, and if you know it, that yes I'm! Then it's doens't hurt, it hardly affects, but it does, but it hurts more, if they say you're bad, but you don't know what you did to make them think that, and that's when your self-esteem lowers.

Knowing who you are is better.

You're not weak, no-one is, actually they are too scared to do something, what if what they did, did not work out, what if you followed the wrong path, what if. It's all about the what ifs'. And it's okay to be scared, to know, if just in case you're wrong.

It's alright. It always is.

But, Riki he had gotten so self-conscious. He could'nt find anyone, who could help him or anything, he looked everywhere, he had also gotten in more fights than usual, any small territory tried to fight him.

He had last contacted his father a month ago, he wanted to go and hug his father, be kisses in his forehead by him, he wanted to hug his omega, he was missing Jungwon very much.

He wanted to know, what happened to Jungwon, has he woken up yet, does he even think about him, because afterall he had hurted him so much, he was regretting everything, but not coming out of his shell to fight.

Fight for his own omega, his kingdom, his people, his family, if he has to die to let Jungwon win, he will do it again, and again, and again. He will do it million of times.

He was wearing his clothes from the last week, it was nearly the end of the second month actually, and he wanted to finish everything before his father's birthday.

The last time he had contacted his father, his father wasn't able to reply. Which was last week.

Riki wrote only two words and not anymore. Just two.

I'm sorry”

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry.

Now, he that he was walking at midnight, back from a teenager's apartment, he had asked him for a bottle of water and when he denied, well he has his ways.

And, now he had a sandwitch in his hand and his small bag filled with a few bottles of water, and some snacks for his small army.

He and his phone in his other hand, he was gripping his phone tightly, his father and replied,

"Niki? What do you mean? Are you okay?? Tell me!" It was unread from over a week.

But, now.

There was a new message.

“Riki. Son. Jungwon, he is missing. Come back as soon as you can."

And he lost it...
