Claude's Pov
I was in my chamber crying how could I hurt my son like that I tortured him to the point that he hates me now...
Why am I like this I just want to hold him and assure him that I love him and that I'm sorry. But I know I'm too late for that and what right do I even have over him, sure he's my son but I have never been a father to him and what did he ever want from me other than my love.
Fuck I'm such a bad father I never should've hurt him. These thoughts run through my head so loudly that I don't notice someone come in my chamber. She looks familiar... I stare at her for a second and realise that this is Julienne Atlantis' care taker and my ex wife's best friend.
"Listen here Claude I looked past you neglecting your son and not caring about him and even letting that wench's daughter bully him but sending that young boy off to war? Do you know how much he's suffering? his first love died because of you and you have the audacity to sit here and feel sorry for yourself!? Do you know how much he's suffered he's in the bathroom crying and having an anxiety attack because of you Claude! So march yourself to his room and comfort him because as much as I hate it, I know he loves you and as much as I want him to hate you, He can't he truly is his mothers son so Claude go! Go before you lose him again and lose her completely" despite screaming at me for the whole time Julienne said the last part in a quiet and caring voice.
I ran to his chamber and realised the door was locked I bang on the door calling out my son's name but he doesn't reply I can only here faint whispers, I kick open the door and my heart breaks at the sight. I go to him and hug him and he break down and start crying into my chest and bury himself and this breaks my heart how could I've been a cruel monster to this angelic being to this young child who had done nothing wrong.
He starts mumbling "Why's there still so much blood? Make it go away" Blood? oh. I'm a monster, I start to tear up again but I don't let a tear escape my eyes I have to be strong for him.
I soothingly whisper into his ear "Sh sh It's ok I'm here there's no blood" I can tell he wants nothing to do with me but I know this is my fault so I will protect him from now "Daddy can you make it disappear it-it's all over me it-it's Will's blood c-can you save him daddy" My heart breaks when I hear him say that looking at him now reminds me of myself when I lost Atlantis' mother: Astraia She was a fierce women who died giving birth to him and made me promise to protect him... I didn't fulfil that promise "I'm sorry Astraia" I finally let out a tear I was holding in.
I start to hum him a lullaby his mother used to sing to him when he wasn't born to calm him down I smile when I hear him talk "D-Dad" I smile my eyes tearing up even more I'm dad again not 'Claude' or 'your majesty' He whispers "No cry" before falling unconscious in my arm and I carry him to my chamber and rest him on my bed while caressing his silky white hair which resembled his mothers hair.
