King's Soldier

Truth Is Stronger Then Blood

Back to following Jack around. I hope you liked the last chapter. I hope you all have a great day and remember, you're all beautiful. 😄

Jack stood unable to move, he thought about his family. His father and mother were always there for him, he wasn't allowed to see them at all when he became the royal guard. He would see them when they came into town once a month to get supplies or sell what crops they had.
That's it! King Richard killed my fucking family!!
Jack picked up his sword, which had fallen when Lucifer wrapped himself around Jack.
"I know what I must do but," Jack looked down, "he's my king, it would be wrong to kill him."
Jack shook his head and started walking to the cabin he had moved into with James.
               **********************
James smiled as Jack walked through the door, her smile faded when she saw marks around his neck, "what happened?"
"Lucifer. King Richard killed my mother and father in front of everyone."
James gasped and ran over to wrap her arms around him, "what did Lucifer want my love?"
Jack sighed "he wants me to kill Richard. I'm going to do it."
Jack walked over to the small, wooden table and sat. James sighed heavily as she walked over to Jack and kissed his cheek.
Jack, confused as ever, knew what he had to do but not if he could.
What am I supposed to do? He's my king and the man I'm sworn to protect but they are my family, those who protected me.
Jack rubbed his eyes and went to bed, he would work it all out in the morning.
When Jack woke the sun was just appearing from behind the misty mountains. Jack sighed as he stood up, James was still asleep all snug in her blanket. Jack walked over to an old, wooden desk and sat. He took out a pen and paper and wrote to his beloved "My dearest Jame, I have gone to fight Richard. I may not come back and this is when I speak my heart. I have not known thy for long and yet my heart beats only for you. I pray for you and that you will find grace and God will take thy to embrace. I know thy will not want me to do this quest but I must, for my family. Love, Jack."
He looked at the note and sighed, kissing the letter as a single tear fell from his eye.
Will I ever see my love again? Is this the end?
Jack stood up, grabbed his weapons and left.
             ***********************
King Richard sat on his throne, his cocky features yelled at Jack, he was a murder. Jack ran towards Richard with his arms holding a sword. Richard stood up striked Jack with his metal hand(if you want to know how he lost his hand, I will be making another book about King Richard if enough people want it). Jack had tears in his eye, he blinked them away, "Hello, my name is Jack Raven. You killed my family, prepare to die."
Richard only laughed loudly at this as if it was the funniest joke known to man. Richard punched Jack in the jaw and held him to the ground, "you fucking bustard, you will pay for this treason." Jack yelled and swung with all his might but Richard held him down for a few minutes. When Richard lifted, he spit on Jack laying on the stone ground, "now leave before I change my mind. I show you little mercy and I swear, if you dare come against my ever again, I will kill everyone you love...starting with James!" At this Jack slowly pulled his body off the ground and slowly left the kingdom. He, of course, did plan on coming back but first he needed help.
            *************************
Jack finished summoning Lucifer. Lucifer yawned as he rubbed his eyes, "what now?" He opened his eyes and looked towards Jack, "oh you. So you see the truth?"
Jack nodded and asked Lucifer for guidance.
"You must go to find others who have lost much to Richard. Then and only then will I join you in your battle."
Jack nodded and bowed, for the first time since leaving his family, for a reason worth fighting for.
