You sat on your window in your room, watching him move out of your castle or probably your life makes you sadder even more. You negated his apology. It made you even more miserable, seeing your father ill then King Jack to top it all off. Destiny must've hate you for being alive.

You cried until your eyes became red and dry. Getting on your feet, you walked to your Father's room, as you open the door- on timing the doctor stood up as he's done with his check up. At once he bowed when he saw you.

"Dr. Besson, how's my father?" You asked, hoping to have good news.-Dr. Besson is a dashing young man, with his blonde hair and great posture, the village contained two doctors, him and his wife, Christina.

He looked at you doubtly to say anything but he has to, he softly indicate to follow him outside your father's room. When both of you are outside the room he looked at you in a worried expression. "Princess Y/n. You're father's ill is deteriorating each day. I can't stop this at once, but I calculated his remaining days."

You were astonished, his remaining days. The words kept repeating. "How long is his remaining days?" You asked, gripping your heart for comfort, hoping that it won't break more further.

He hesitated to say it as he bit the side of his cheek. But once, he said it. "It might be on the next day. Or after that day." He looked at you straight in the eyes, hoping that you wouldn't lash out at him. You begin to tremble in fear, Your knees weaken, you almost stumble but good thing Dr. Besson is there to catch you. You stumble back to your feet. "Next day? I- I can't afford to loose my father..Doctor you have to help me." You begged for your father's dear life.

"I believe I can't, Princess Y/n. The ill your father has is unknown. I did what I can do to help your father but it's no use, the ill is indomitable. On behalf as your doctor, I deeply apologize."

"Thank you doctor for helping my father." With that doctor Besson bid his good bye and left. You were afraid to face your father, so you stayed outside and slid your back down on the wall and cried again. You gather up your strength and open the door, there he is, lying on the bed- closed eyes. You knelt beside him, his breathing was slow and steady and then you held his now cold hard hand. He noticed your presence once you held him. He craned his heas towards you, then he smiled in sorrow.

"Papa.." you greeted, almost on the urge of crying. "I don't wanna loose you.." you begged holding his hand more firmly.

"You won't. I will always be with you no matter what will happen." He said

"Papa, I don't wanna be alone." You trembled, fearing the thought of loniless. He sighed and look above the designed ceiling. "Ever since your mother died, I feared to be alone in misery. But I know that I won't be because I have you." He smiled.

"But I don't have you anymore if you'd go away." You cried. "Please, papa." You begged.

"I know, King Avery came to visit you, how'd did it go?" He stirred the topic away. You gulped down and look distant.

"Pretty awful." You blandly said. "He probably wanted to be king here."

"Oh.." your father said.

"He said he's sorry but- but I can't forgive him. Forgiving him can lure me to more damage." You said. He didn't said anything, he was thinking something. Something was on his mind.

"Come here." He opened his arms as you get inside it and felt the warmth embrace he gave. You hugged tighter knowing that it'll be the last. As you both break the hug. He offered he want some rest so you considered and bid your goodbye.

You walk outside of the castle, wanted to be alone- so you came to one of the hidden doors you made in the garden when you were little. You opened the tiny door and entered. It was still good, you often come here to take care of the flowers and pull out weeds. You sat on the swing and rock it back and fourth.

A bird landed above a branch of the tree and tweeted softly.

"I'm gonna be alone, aren't I?" You asked the bird, it didn't even looked at you- it looks dumb anyway. It flew away.

What destiny awaits for me? You thought as you look above the blue sky.
Am I even gonna find the perfect man to marry? I think I'm gonna marry one of those gross men who's only rich yet not handsome. You thought again. Your father has invited every princes from the north to seek your hand in marriage, but it didn't work well. He doesn't invite Royalties from the East, west, and south. Just north. And only north.

If he's gone, I'll be a local villager, watching my own kingdom tremble. Papa, didn't mention anyone who would take his place other than me. You spoke to your head. Seeing all the hard work your father has made and would get destroyed infront of your very eyes.

That's it, wether his short or small, ugly or not, rich or average. I'm gonna marry of whom my father wants to arrange me with. You thought. You run down back to the castle and went to your father's room. As you entered. You slowly tapped his shoulder. He woke up after a minute.

"I'll marry the person you've arrange me with, Papa. No matter what he looks like, I don't care any more. I just want to save your kingdom." You pledged.

"Are you sure, Dear?" He asked doubtly.

"Yes, papa. I am one- hundred and one percent sure." You knelt down beside him and gave him a reasonable look.

"Alright, I already did. Tomorrow, you'll find out." He said. "Now go, I have to rest. You've awoken me by my slumber." He laughed. You said 'sorry' and went outside.

You know that tomorrow might end badly, so you make the most of it today. You talked to the servants and hear there story, like borrowing a book but it's a person. You hear how miserable their lives are, just as miserable as you. Although,You did grow up as royalty but giving your life for the people is worse. It's like you're only alive to be sacrificed and serve the kingdom. Isn't that fucked up?

You helped the gardners planting orchids and other various of plants, at first they were stunned but shook off the feeling because in the eyes of every people in your kingdom, they know you're good, just like your parents. And then the last event you went is the orphanage, yes there is orphanage in your big kingdom. You won't allow children roaming around the streets begging for scraps, it hurts you more than it hurts them. And you support the people who have interest in education.

"Oh, hello." As a little boy came close to you. He was cute as his hazel eyes stared at your (E/C).

"What's your name?" You asked as you put him inside your arms, almost wanting to put him in your pockets and runoff.

"I'm Dominic." He smiled sweetly, you smiled back and greet other children who came to you or you came to them. You were so happy, almost as if you could make millions if happiness can be converted into money.

As the night came, you came back to the castle all exhausted but it was worth it. From hearing varieties of stories through seeing the orphans, you thought that everything is worth it.

You knock on your father's bedroom, and as it opens. He was still lying there, even weaker than before. You almost thought that he would be gone tonight but you never ever let it get through your brain- you believed that your father can make it through this aching journey, he's a strong man, probably the only strongest man you've known through your whole life.

You sat beside him, hoping he would feel your presence near him. The exhaustion melts away like snow on salt as you looked at your father.

A tear slipped from your eye as you thought that he wouldn't be permanent- like all of us.

"Papa, I visited the orphanage today." You said, but he didn't wake up. He just breathes. "The kid- the kids are so nice." You kept yourself strong, but no- it's too late the tears already escaped.

"I talked to the servants as well, and helping our gardners plant various plants." Tears are escaping rapidly. You kissed his temple and walk out of the room, the sadness is unbearable.

A/N: I know this chapter isn't adventurous but we gotta do some bravery and sadness to get adventurous chapters, we can't skip. We won't. So, anyways. This is chapter two of 'king's glories'
