Eirlys/Lord Astor/Lucien                          {Eirlys' thoughts}

-------------------------------------------------------

"Ren! I am going to kill you! 

I treated you like my brother and you betrayed me!"

"Lucien's knights, sleep tight. I am sure you all are exhausted.

And brother?

You can surely compete with your uncle for the title of most entertaining royals."

"You! Don't you dare hurt my friends." 

"Relax! They're just sleeping.

How are things going, Lucien my 'brother'?"

"How dare you! 

You stole my throne and control my stupid uncle like a puppet! 

What do you want? Edehan? It'll never be yours! I won't allow it!"

"Hahaha, such naivety. 

Lucien, you still don't understand, do you? 

Who cares about the throne or your kingdom? 

All I care is that the throne never belongs to you."

"Why? You were my best friend! 

We grew up together!

Why? Just why?

What do you want? Power?" 

"Do you have poor short term memory or were you simply not listening?

I am starting to get bored, talking to you.

I have told you the answer, I just don't want you to be king.

That's it. It is this simple." 

"Then you are leaving me with no choice."

"Choice? What choice?

You mean if I had begged for your forgiveness, you would have accepted me back with open arms?

Don't be silly. You wish to kill me, don't you?"

"No, I am still waiting for you to realize your mistakes,Ren.

You have let your jealousy and greed blind you, my brother."

"Why would I be jealous of you?" 

"I am the prince. 

Everyone loves me. I have well respected powers. 

You have nothing. Your power is a curse. 

You're just jealous that I am the prince and you aren't.

You're just jealous I have a mother who loves me and you don't."

"I wonder why I don't have a mother?

Ouch, and here I was wondering when your friend here would intervene.

I'm glad it's a fork, not a knife. 

Nice to meet you, Miss Felicity." 

"Don't you dare hurt Felicity!"

"Don't you dare... don't you dare...

How dull. 

Your highness, if I hadn't had that courage, would you have lost your throne? Would you still be running away as a fugitive?

Calm down, I am just trying to get to know your new friend. 

I was informed that you two have gotten pretty close." 

"Felicity, I will protect you. Don't worry."

{Just when will this farce end? Why keep on talking when you can simply get on with the killing? Hasn't Astor learnt anything from all the plays we have watched? A talkative villain gets killed. And let's face it, we are the villains here. 

Wait a moment, did that knight next to Astor move? That can't be... Astor's compulsion rarely fails... Felicity's luck? I close my eyes and push my power to look 30 seconds into the future. Scenes from the future appear. Knight...metal controller...a nail from the column... Astor's neck...blood... 

I open my eyes and try to get to Astor's side, but I cannot move my feet. Why... 'Eirlys, stay safe.'... No!}
