'No no no no, Sh- she's going to know, no no this .... I- don't-' the world seem to shrink around him with every breath that left his lung, his head spun causing him to hold his head, stumbling back a few steps, he tried to reach for one of the shelfs, but he missed ..

Scaring the wits out of aou, he rushed towards him, but he had to stop in his tracks because of boom

"Don't" his voice hoarse and inaudible if one doesn't pay proper attention, probably wouldn't be able to catch what he's saying and before aou could say anything....

Boom woke up breathing his chest heaved up and down, getting up from his huge chair he grabbed some water from the nightstand and stood infront of his huge window, taking a sip from the glass his thoughts made their way to his head, he's been having the same dream over and over again it has been like this for the past few months, he didn't know when he fell asleep and it was a very unusual time for boom to sleep it was around 5.30 judging by the sun, he also didn't know when he came to his room, he turned around, looked at the door in front of him, walked to it not knowing exactly what he wants to do.

Few minutes later he found himself walking, on the soft green grass, halting in his step, stared at the path he was going, few steps was all he took and not knowing what exactly it is, he started running .... he ran and ran and ran as much as he could, his breath getting caught up in his throat, choking him.

He stopped, his breathing heavy, his eyes blood shot, weak in the knees, he couldn't stand properly dropping down on his knees with a bang, gripping the grass underneath him, all the pain that was locked inside him was released as tears

"I don't think I can do this anymore, phaaw" he cried out to his father, hoping he could hear him but all that was heard was his sobs and slicence with a mixture of distant birds chirping their way back home.

He sits with his back against the stone near him, the coldness from the stone made boom shiver, but didn't bother him much, letting out a heavy sigh he continued

"It's getting harder to breath, I don't think I'm ready phaaw ..... to be the king" with that boom sat there in slicence, few minutes later tilting his head against the stone he gazed at the sky where the sun greeted moon to take over, it would be beautiful to someone else, but to boom it was mocking because his father's name meant sun and people always pointed out that boom had the beauty of moon.

As the sun gave way to the moon and wind became chilly, brushing against booms hair, almost like comforting him, long shadows sneaked their way through the trees informing boom about the time and that he needs to go back, standing up, he was hesitant to leave

"Phaaw" his voice cracking, he knew this day would come, but not this soon "I have to go now, tomorrow morning is the coronation, I'll come see you soon" with that he left the royal burial ground.

His father passed the night of booms birthday, a shocking news to the entire kingdom, just the day before his father had talked to aou about how he missed him, and there was nothing out of normal so what happened that night ??

That night

"Will he be alright ?" the king asked his closest friend

"Arthit you know he's a smart child, he'll be able to do it" there was assurance in his tone "you should rest, stop thinking too much" he assured the king once again as he tucked him to bed.

"Thank you, korn"

"What for ??" the sudden thanking from the king made him lift his eyebrow in confusion

"For everything" king answered him back, tapping on his friends shoulder the king continued "for being there for me, I will always be grateful, old friend"

"You saying these, makes me an outsider" korn said as he took a seat on the corner of the bed. "If he was here, he probably will be chasing you to beat you" he added gazing at the visible night sky from the open window.

"That, he would definitely do" arthit stated following his friends gaze "I miss him" as these words left his mouth, korn agreed with him, the sense of longing was evident, once a group of trio, now left with only two, the word friendship isn't enough to describe the bond the three share.

Arthit, yod and korn where more close than what the eye could meet, they where more like glued to each other, but yod had died protecting arthit, the two had lost themselves completely after their dear friend died, yod was someone way more than just a friend, he was a big brother, he is still a big brother

"yod was there no matter what time of the day or night" korn recalls the times where yod had come to their rescue, as arthit and korn are the definition of troublemakers and yod kept them in check, he was the head of the royal guard, which made his only son aou take his place after his death, korn he has a daughter also, unfortunately korn had lost his wife few years after their daughter turned 12 from sickness, she is also close with both aou and boom.

Korn stayed for few more hours before he bid his friend a good nights sleep, the door closing behind him, he felt something was wrong but he didn't put much thought to it.

An hour later after korn left

An opportunity to the person who has been waiting outside the window for hours or hanging to be more precise, he made his way in through it once he made sure the king was sleeping, he got to work immediately, an incense box placed on the night stand which was not that far from arthits bed, taking it without making a noise, he placed it under the bed, and dropped the poisonous liquid in it.

Waiting so to make sure the powder has observed the drops until he could smell the poison kick him, jumping out the window he landed straight onto a bush causing a commotion, waking up the guards and the royal servants, he sprinted because he just flipping poisoned the king of the thailand.
