Lessons of the heart

Rumors and Departures

A little thing about myself and the very reason I am pretty much emotional and add that into the fanfic. I haven't exactly had the best time at school and got bullied a lot up to the point that they gossiped, told my secrets to everyone and spread rumors. Coping with these kind of situations wasn't easy but I would often write poems and rewrite stories and fandoms already at the age of so I could find a place where I could belong. It was a way to run away without literally running away. I'm still pretty emotional and I often get reminded of the past but it got better. I found a place where I belonged. So be strong and keep on fighting.

ROYAL SCANDAL UNFOLDED: KING'S AFFAIR WITH SERVANT!

A reliable source has brought a rather scandalous affair to the surface. Our dear King, Viktor Von Granzreich, turns out to be very friendly towards his subjects than first anticipated. As the information would suggest, he has been in a secret relationship with someone working at Weisburg Palace. Our informant, L, wouldn't give us any names but guaranteed us that, due to the close relationship to the King, this information is reliable and valid. When further information finds its way to us, we will surely inform you, the public.

This was it, this meant the end of everything... That was all Heine could think. At least the article didn't talk about who this servant was. If it would say 'The Tutor', everyone would know the King was in love with a man. Heine put the tabloid down, an uncomfortable silence hanging in the air. Rosenberg had gone that far already... At least, it had to be Rosenberg, that was what he was thinking, but what was with the L? Did Rosenberg hire someone to do the dirty work for or did someone else blab it to the tabloid papers. No, the only people he knew that had names starting with an L would never do something like that. Licht didn't exactly have any problems with Viktor and Heine's relationship. Leonhard on the other hand wasn't too excited about this. Maybe he had talked to the papers but this article wasn't directed at Heine, it was directed towards the King. This meant Rosenberg was trying to frame one of the Princes in order to force the King to give up the throne because that's what this whole set up was for: Make the King look bad. The plans with the Princes, having them drop out of the line for the throne, failed and now he was taking things to a whole different kind of level. The King didn't know about the Count as far as Heine knew. He didn't even know how many people were spying on them because otherwise, this information wouldn't have been leaked to the outside.

Heine sighed heavily and looked away, his heart was weighing a ton. There wasn't an easy way to deal with this but what had to be done, had to be done. The silence wa now pretty much suffocating both of them.

At last Viktor broke the silence.

"I am going to find out who the informant is and rectify this."

He needed to come up with a way to put a stop to these rumors before they would tell of some explicit information rather than a vague description.

"Viktor, technically they aren't telling any lies. Will you truly ask them to write lies? Lie to the public? You are not that kind of King. You stand for honesty and integrity."

A reputation that is now pretty much being torn down.

"We have to find a different solution..."
