❤ Engaged To My Enemy 🚫 [ SonAmy AU ]

(Side Story) Albion's Fate

"Look, it's that Alexander kid! "

"I can't believe he still has the guts to go to school while his family is so messed up!" One snickered behind him.

At present, Albion has his hands cuffed by the police, who led him to prison. After a bit of walking, they had him enter a small room with one man, who was seated across from him. "Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Albion, the man chimed as he raised his hand up to him to shake Albion's hand. After realizing that Albion couldn't shake his hand, he put his hand down on the table as he awkwardly cleared his throat. "Sorry about that. But I am here today to just ask you some questions. Only after answering would it be determined if you would be put into a Mental Health Institution or prison, the man informed. Albion looked up and muttered, "What are the questions?

"What was your motive to kidnap Miss Amy?" The man asked after he turned on the voice recorder. Albion grinned as he simply answered, "Simple. To get rid of her and to steal the Royal seal.

"What does the Royal seal and getting rid of her have to do with kidnapping her? What goes through your mind as you plan it?

Albion rolled his eyes. "You're asking too many questions."

"Well, that's my job, though," the man answered.

"...."

"...."

"It's nothing special. I just want to finally make my parents happy, Albion answered. The man looked at him, confused as to what it meant. "Make them happy?" The man repeated. "Yes. All I ever wanted was to make my parents happy by getting rid of Amy. That way, I could finally be the rightful heir to the throne, he said. The man looked at him with astonishment; after all, what Albion just said didn't make any sense at all. Even if Miss Amy were to be killed, he wouldn't still be able to be King. Actually, the throne would go straight to her Uncle. "Did you know that even if Miss Amy wasn't Queen, you wouldn't still get the throne?" The man asked him. Albion was silent for a moment before he nodded, much to the man's expectation. Of course, Albion didn't look like a stupid man after all. Even though his family wasn't welcomed at all by the rest of the nobility back in the Rose Kingdom, he was still raised with a good education and background.

The man then sighed, "As expected. So why did you say that earlier if you knew?

"...."

"What's the point of telling you? Everyone will still see me as the bad guy. Even if I tell you my sob story right now, I am still guilty, Albion replied.

The man wasn't expecting that kind of answer from him, but since he was not actually a detective or a police officer, he had no right to interfere that much. But he couldn't help it! This was Sir Albion, after all! After a while, the guards in charge of Albion transferred him to another prison. That night, Albion wasn't able to sleep at all in his cell and just stared at the ceiling for a long time. It all felt too unreal—to sleep on a warm and comfy bed yesterday, then suddenly sleep on a small and hard bed inside a cell.

"Ah, Mom, don't do that!" The Little Albion yelled at his mother as he tried to stop her from swallowing a bunch of pills at the same time. His mother then screamed as she pushed Little Albion away from her before scurrying into the corner of the bathroom, sitting down as she covered both of her ears. This was the day when Albion's mother found out about her husband's affair with another woman; she caught them on their bed a while ago. But instead of the husband being sorry about it, he just told his wife to go and close the door. After fighting, her husband just slapped her and took the other woman away to a hotel instead. This was all witnessed by Little Albion, who was just on his way to show his parents the star that the teacher had given him at school.

"Albion, my baby, come here, his mother whispered. Albion was a bit creeped out at first, but since he didn't know what else to do, he just went up to her. His mother was a mess; her makeup was messy, and her hair was cut off by her, tears streaming down her cheeks as she hugged Albion tightly.

"Find the ring, her mother whispered to him.

Little Albion couldn't hold back his tears after seeing his mother in such a state. "What ring?" He sobbed. Suddenly, his mother gripped his shoulder, still hugging him. "Ouch! It hurts!" Little Albion cried in pain as he tried to get away, but his mother was much stronger than him. "That Royal seal, that ring, and that fucking 'Rose' family are the reason why we have been suffering. Get that ring from them and become King. No matter what happens, you must become King!" His mother angrily said, gripping her son's shoulder more than it has now turned into a bruise.

Months turned into years, and nothing has changed. Albion's warmhearted family has now crumbled and become a broken one. His father didn't change his ways and continued bringing the girls he would have an affair with over to their home; he didn't even try to hide it from his son. His mother, on the other hand, went insane and mostly chased the girls out, but for those who couldn't, she'd just scream inside her room and drink all day. Albion's anger only grew for the 'Rose' family her mother mentioned to him before, now believing that they are the root of all of their suffering. But deep inside, he knew that it wasn't true, and he and his mother were only looking for someone else to blame. But he couldn't accept it; he didn't want to accept his life without anyone else to blame. Seeing his mother desperate and starving for her husband's love, he just swallowed and embraced all the lies he used to tell himself when he was still younger.

Now his current self actually believed that the ring, the Royal seal, could actually mend his broken family. That all of the insults and mean looks they would always get from other people would finally end.

But what did it amount to? Nothing.

His so-called revenge and hatred towards Amy's family—the ridicule of the people—didn't work out for him. In the end, he was still the bad guy. That was his fate in this life. A thought then went through his head: if he could be reborn into a happier life... It wouldn't turn out like this. Only then did he laugh as he rejected the possibility of that; after all, only the good guys get to be reborn.>>>
