The Forgotten Prince

Part 41

Theo's Pov,

"There was this boy. The second he came into the world, he was put in the care of the most cruel woman there was. From the day he was strong enough to lift a sword, she made him train day and night because of her plans for him. There was no time to play he was just a child, but his mother was ruthless.  If he disobeyed her, she would punish him it started small, but the woman held no love for the boy . There was no love or affection every time he showed it her she would look at him in disgust and tell him to continue his training. When he was about 10, his punishments became worse she would lock him in a cell chained from the ceiling as she would beat and whip him. His cries didn't even affect her. All she said was ' I'm doing this for us' . She tried to turn him into a monster who would kill at her orders. Not long after that, she made him kill for the first time, and she just punished him for his cries and pleads to not make him do it. " I start, and I feel Clarke lay her hand on my knee.

"As years went by, he didn't have any friends, and he slowly turned into an angry boy. She whipped him, stabbed him , shot arrows in him all because sometimes his heart tried to show how the boy really was . " I continue, and I see a frown make its way on Russels face.

"So he became a dangerous man, we can't let him in. See what I mean." Simone breathes out with wide eyes.

"What happened to the boy?" Russel asks me as he ignores his wife  . Standing up, I start to unbutton the shirt and take it off my body.

"That boy is standing in front of you." I say, and I see him get up and walk over to me .

"Your mother did this ?" He asks me as his eyes wander over my scar filled chest.

"Most yes, people can change. They just need to have someone who believes in them. My people will listen to me all I'm asking you. If I was the man my mother wanted me to be, I would have killed you the second I walked in. But I'm not that person. We've all made mistakes to survive. We are not proud of it. But we are capable of changing and living together in harmony. " I say as I start to put the shirt back on my body.

"You intrigue me, Theo." Russel says as I finish buttoning my shirt up again.

"I want just like you that our people are safe. Just think about my words." I say, and the man gives me a small nod.

"And if you wouldn't mind, this may sound weird, but could I have that ball ." I say, and Russel gives me a quistiong look.

"Your dog I would like to I think you called it fetch. " I say, and he chuckles at my words.

"I'll send a gaurd with you, and he's called Picasso. " Russel says, and I give him a small nod.

"Thank you." I say with a small bow, gotta have to suck it up to the man if I want him, let us stay.

"Just wait outside. The gaurd will meet you soon ." Russel says, and I give him a small nod.

"Piccaso." I say, and the dog walks over to me . "Come one boy." I say as I walk over to Clarke, and together, the three of us start making out way out of the palace. Walking outside, I see the sun is starting to set, and I release a deep breath.

"What are you doing?" Clarke whispers at me, and as I look around, I see the gaurds won't hear us along as we whisper.

"Like he said, he's intrigued, I told him part of my story to show him we can change. Maybe if we kiss his ass enough, he will let us stay." I whisper back to Clare .

"And you look absolutely beautiful." I whisper to Clarke, and she rolls her eyes at me .

"Head back, I'll be a nice and show them that even tho my past I'm  not a  treath." I whisper, and Clarke gives me a small nod before walking back in the direction of the Cafe.
