The prince of darkness

Chapter 1: Life in the palace

Boring, large, and Dull. That's what type of place the royal palace is. It's full of boring old servants who are worthless in every way possible. It's bigger than many building in the kingdom and it's annoying. And it's so dreary the servants are to quiet maybe just for me. In my siblings palace they are talkative and care to engage with them.
Who cares though? I seriously don't after all I'm the 16th prince I'm not even noticeable.

Until the day of my 8th birthday. It was a normal day I was walking through the halls and I seen my mother well I should say the empress. She was in a room coughing and wheezing I stood there shocked I didn't know to what to do so I stood there and watched slowly but surely she passed away, she was already sick so I most definitely didn't do anything to kill her but everyone was mad at me. For the first time I've seen my father he didn't say a word he just looked at me with a disgusted face he didn't say a word he just slapped me and said "you are a disgrace to the royal bloodline." I stood there but then the empresses children came the 1st, 3rd,5th,8th and prince then the 1st and 4th and 5th princesses they all looked at me with disgust and disbelief they stared at my like I was insane and I like I was a stranger to them. Finally someone spoke up it was my eldest brother Raymond. "How could you let our mother die. More or less why were you the one to see her die!" I wanted to laugh I dont know why it was funny to me but i stayed silent. After that day my siblings hated me and they treated me bad anytime they had the chance even to this day.

My father finally moved my room I thought it would be somewhere in the main palace but no it was in the dahlia palace. It was a cold, dark and depressing place the only reason it was called that because it was named after my mother my real one, Dalia was her name she was the 6th concubine and she was incredibly obsessed with the emperor. Back when she was younger she had the emperor all to herself until the empress came she took him from her and made her life a living hell ever since then she tried to gain back her reputation and become loved again but it failed and she was sent to the dahlia palace it was once beautiful but now it's a run down dull palace.

Once I was sent to the dahlia palace I was curious  about the servants but mostly my mother. The second i walked in I was greeted not with a smile just a frown once I started walking I seen a women with long black hair and green eyes, she suddenly smiled and said "hello my darling son!"
She waited a while then questioned "where is your father? Is he not coming? Maybe you should ask him next time. You should I'm your mother I must see your father so we can have a healthy family relationship!" I obviously signed I couldn't believe I would have to deal with this sick women but I regretted sighing loud enough for everyone to hear my mother quickly looked at me she slapped me I felt it coming I didn't know when she would but it happened.

After that day me and her always had a bad relationship she would only talk to me when she needed me to do something for her which was everyday I was treated like her servant she even yelled or hit me everytime I did something wrong so I should say I grew up in a toxic home my mother was bad but the servant treated me worse but I fixed that all when I turned 13 I made sure they knew I was in charge. None of them were loyal to me or my mother and most of them were spies expect one my youngest sisters nanny.

Note: HIIII this is my first story ever Ik it wasn't good but I tried my best and I hope to continue it!
