(Evan's POV)

"Mama? I thought papa was coming home yesterday?" I asked mama. I saw wet tears streaming down mama's face. "Is everything alright mama?" I asked mama, coming closer to her, she was holding a small folded letter.

"What happened mama?" I asked her, giving her a hug, thinking it would make her feel better because I am here. "I'm so sorry Evan, I'm so sorry." Mama apologized.

"There's nothing wrong mama, you did nothing wrong. Why are you crying?" I asked her, holding her hand as she pulled me close.

"Papa's gone. He won't be coming back." She cried onto my blue pajama. I felt hurt, it's like I can't breathe. The pressure pushing down onto my chest, making it harder for myself to breathe in and out.

"What," I stopped to wipe the tears off my face, "What happened to Papa?"

"Papa passed away."

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you." He let out a small smile like nothing happened. His perfect white teeth showed though the smile. "Are you sure you are? There is no reason for a man like you out here with this choice of clothing." I laughed, scratching the back of my neck.

"May I ask, but where are we?" The pale man asked me seeing the place where are in. "You are in the kingdom of Queen Heidi Hansen. The country of Esmeralda." I explained to him, flashing a smile. Hopefully this man is not injured.

"Do you remember anything that happened on how you got here? Are you injured?" I asked the brunette male, his blue eyes still wandering off to places. "I don't know if I am. All I remember is my ship crashing, then myself drowning along with my crew. I didn't expect myself being washed up on shore. I thought I'd be in the other side now, actually." He rubbed his neck, avoiding eye contact, laughing anxiously.

A ship wreck...

"Why did papa die, mama? Why did he have to go?" I asked mama, holding onto her night gown.

"The ship he used to get to travel to our Ally's country, crashed because of a hurricane that passed by." She cried, holding me tighter. I stayed quiet. "but don't worry Evan, he's in the other side, watching over us." I rubbed my eyes.

"Will I see Papa in the other side?"

I shook my feelings off, this isn't a time for mourning Evan.

I looked at him surprised, it's amazing how he was washed up on shore. It's like the water was his friend.

"Your Majesty! Are you alright? And who is this?" My friend the jester asked me, looking at the almost naked man beside me. "Can you find this man clothing? He was washed up on shore ever since his ship crashed." I explained. He nodded, face filled with sadness for a few seconds, and ran to the palace. The incident must have reminded him of my father. Everyone in the kingdom has heard on how their king died.

"He will be back, the palace is just located beside this beach." I smiled, standing up, giving him my hand. He took it, trying to stand, but quickly falling. "Oh dear, are you okay?" I asked, supporting him to get up to his feet. "The ship wreck must have injured me a little." He chuckled, trying to regain his balance. "I hope it's just a minor injury," I smiled, helping him walk to the stone stairs, then I heard him mumble "I hope so too."
