Warning - This chapter will have mentions of suicide so if you are sensitive to those things please don't read

It's been two days since George was supposed to be back from his break but I wasn't worried about him because he was probably taking more time. But then two days turned into five days and then I started getting worried about him.

Then on the sixth day I woke up to someone knocking on the door of my house. So I went and opened the door and there was a servant of the king. " I'm sorry if I woke you but are you Samuel Seabury? " She asked. " Yes that's me what do you need. " I responded still half asleep and I could fall back asleep any second. " The king needs you at the castle it's very serious. " She said. Serious? I thought. " Ok I just need to get dressed I'll be quick. " I said and she nodded.

We got to the castle and I literally ran into Georges bedroom without thinking. He looked sick and he was sleeping. " Mr.Samuel please don't run into the kings room. " said the servant. " I'm sorry I wasn't thinking straight. " I apologize for my rude behaviour and then she explains what happened to George. 

" The day after the king was supposed to return one of the other servants went into the woods behind the castle to get some more wood for the fire places but on her way to get wood at the spot she goes to she found king George passed out near the place. So she forgot about the wood and rushed George back to the castle. But while picking him up she saw a bottle of sleeping pills. So she also brought those back and when we looked at them we found a small letter on the inside of the bottle. So he's been sleeping for five days now. I'm terribly sorry for not telling you sooner I hope you understand. " She said with sadness in her voice. She then handed me the letter so I opened it and read it.

" My dearest Samuel,
I'm sorry that I'm leaving so soon but I can't take this fighting anymore.
I know using sleeping pills sometimes doesn't work but I'm trying to leave this world peacefully.
Please don't be sad when I'm gone I
want you to have a happy life
so please don't cry over me.
If I do die I want you to be the new
king.
King Samuel the first that sounds nice.
I don't regret anything about my decision but leaving you but I'll see you on the other side.
I didn't die a faithful death but at least
I'm gone from the world.
Everyone will probably be happy when I'm gone because I know that they always wished I would die.
So why not grant people their wish before I get killed in this fight.
I'm sorry but words would fail to tell you in person.

Sincerely, George William Frederick iii. P.S. Still love you. "

I was shocked by what I had just read. My whole world just shattered right in front of me on one piece of paper. I started to cry harder than I've ever had before. " I still love you to. " I whispered to myself.

" Please just take me home I can't handle seeing George like this. " I said still holding the letter tightly in my hands. She nodded and we walked out of the room.

I was back home curled up in my bed crying my eyes out. I always told myself everything would be alright whenever something bad happens but those words would not make my world any better. Not now not ever again.
When I was finished crying I fell asleep. I just wanted to go to sleep to get away from this world for awhile.
