I became the daughter of the gay male lead.

part 4

Te carriage ride back was quiet. Though the duke did not see what had hapened he knew from the way his son sat and behaved. His heart filled with anger yet there was nothing he could do. No one was besides him again after all his child was a monster so his position was not guaranteed if he ever killed the king. 

"Radeus."

He finally called his childs name.. Radues stared at the window hearing his name. 

"I am so sorry."

Radues gulped down his tears. 

...

The house was fuilled wit turmoil as radueses mother went into a frenzy from the news. In fact she had almost died from shock but was saved. Radues sat in the dark coner of his room. His first experince of torture yet things would go even more away from here. 

"I should kill myself."

He thought. It was the only way his parents would have peace and he would escape his life. It was the only way. He took a knife from his wardroped and began to cut himself greatlly that blood flowed from his room. Yet unfortunately his father had come in at the worng time. 

Startled from the sight he was rushed instantly to the doctor. The king ehard word of what had happened and he frowned. He was angered. His object was trying to escape. It wasnt something he wanted now. After having a taste of the sweet boy he wanted nothing more than the lad. He needed a way. A way to secure the boy. A way to keep the boy on laps. 

'If i kill his mother. he is bound to take to my black mail. That boy is mine."

He was infatuated as he could not feel pleasure from anyone again. The duke stared at his wife who was on his bed. Her beathing stable and his became weaker. His son was going through so much and yet all he could do was continue his research. find a way to break the seal and run off with his child and wife. A he could do was that. A condition both parent had set together. He stood saking his head and began getting to work. 

Radues soon started his training a few day later. From his female mage teacher eloise and his male swordsmanship teacher philip. The both stared at the boy annoyed. They were the best i thier field after having taught many a star pupils. Although he had no mana he was still repuired to learn magic. Divne magic. 

The lesson began and was not on his side. He was bullied by all guards, the maids and even his teachers and yet all he could do was to pretend to be indiffrent. His parents were unawre as they were busy. To him thier were avoidant. to them they were protecting him and soon with that he turned 8. 

The day his life changed. Though his parents were avoidant he was still living a better life. Thoigh he was bullied he was only bullied verbally. He could handle them all. But not his day. That day the king came in to thier house unexpectedly raiding them through and bringing them to the pinaccle of thier house the roof. He smiled. His plan was set in motion as he brought out a file. 

The Grand duke angered from his teeth. 

"Ah, it seems you already know what i am here for. You and your wife were found conducting illegal buisness worth your life. Something about breaking a seal."

There were gasps of the maids and guards. Radues's eyes lit up. Breaking a seal. He was aware of the seal on his boy. One used to mark criminal and keep them from running away a tracker. The reason he couldnt escape. Yet he found comfort knowing his parents were doing everything they could for him. He had thought they hated him. 

His heart felt heavy. They were cuaght and the duke knew it so. The king smiled and called on the child to stand. The child stood from his postion and made his way scared and trembling towards the king. He felt his hands on his back and he glared angrily. The king smiled and soon the boy realized what he did. 

"He glared at me...The monster glared...."

"No i didnt...I didnt."

He sccreamed.

"Kill his mother."

"KING."

The duke screamed. His wife was far from his and he began to run towards her. Tears flodded his eyes. The woman he loved so dearly. The woman he poured on his soul into. His other half. She smiled. She was ever so loved and lived a privilaged life till she met the duke who she was sold to and yet not once did she complain. Infact she loved him more deeply.

She stared at her son who was close to her. She stood from her position as the archer lit his arrows. It was the way people were killed. She hugged hium tightly. Her son. Her second light in her dark world. He cried. Cried so deeply and she regretted it all. If she had known from the start they would have ran from the moment his prophesy was made. If she could repeat it all.

"Mummy."

The boy spoke. Her heart felt heavy. Her son. She finally ehard mummy for the first time. 

"I love you both."

She cried.

"PPlease."

He cried. The duke was on the ground after being knocked out by a aurd. The king smiled more and more at the child. The woman was shot in the neck and her screams were heard and yet all she screamed was her love for her family. The boy fell the the ground crying. 

"Mummy."

He watched as she turned to asjes nothing left of her. Nothing. The warmth of her body still linbgered on him. It was all his fault. All his fault. If he wasnt born. The king stared at the boy knowing what he had done back fired again. 

"Look boy. If you stay alive and endure your hardships i would pretend none of this in the book ever happened and spare your father."

He got radues attention.
