Light Years of Love

Chapter 1- Vox has an idea

Vox woke up to an expected knock at his door "Prince Voxel, time to get up." Stated the gruffly voice of his butler, he hadn't cared much for him but he knew he couldn't fire him. His father, the king, had issued him to stay in the walls of the city, inside his castle when needed. Never to leave the planet as he is a necessity to the immortality bloodline. He groaned and got up softly stepping out of his bed going to his closet changing out of his sleepwear. He opened up the door taking his morning pills walking into the main hall of the castle "where are mother and father?" He asked turning slightly so he could look at the scrawny butler. He honestly had asked for him to retire but he insisted on staying. Why, he had no idea, the old man could collapse any second now. "You really should take some time off you know" Vox had never really gotten to know the butlers name. Alfred, Berry, Bill? He wasn't very good with things like this, "but sir who will take after you? I have direct orders to keep you intact." He said his voice getting a little scruffy, Vox shooed him away walking back to his room looking out of the enormous window looking over the city.

"Some day..I will get out of here, even if it's the last thing I do" he whispered carefully. "Well little brother that's gonna be hard when there's guards everywhere insuring you don't leave" he jumped and jolted backwards hitting his head on a shelf. "Oh, good morning Vetra" he said half heartedly "morning? It's three o clock in the afternoon" Vox face palmed himself looking out the window once again. "I slept later then I thought I had" he stated as his brother silently left the room Vox suddenly had an idea. What if he had snuck out? No one would notice for a while, enough time for him at least to get into a spaceship and fly off this retched planet. 'So its settled then, I'm getting off of this planet!'
