The Last Prince

Intro

Putting on a royal blue suit and tie ,black dress shoes and matching belt,I opened the drawer and got my favorite black watch,a gift from my grandpa who passed away three months ago.
I headed downstairs and there was toasted bread and eggs on a plate along with black coffee in a mug.
I checked some emails while eating.

"Good morning " said Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee has been doing gardening for my family since I was a little boy. He was a kind man and gave great advice.

"Good morning. The flowers look beautiful." I replied.

"Thank You. I'm planning on planting some more near the gate also. Good luck today"said Mr. Lee.

"Thank You."

I headed towards the office and on my way made a couple calls.

"Good morning. I sent you the schedule for today. The first meeting starts in 30 minutes. The Rodriguez's rescheduled the lunch to next Wednesday due to a family emergency.
There a couple of documents from the banks that need to be signed off on." Said Ms.Rose my secretary.

"Thank You." I said heading towards my office.

At around 6:00pm everyone has left for the day.
I called it a night too heading towards home.
The house was decorated for ceremony that was about to take place at 8:00pm.

I went up to my bedroom, showered and got dressed.

My father was home from his business trip, when I came downstairs. His study door was open and I heard him talking on the phone.

" I know my son. He will agree to it." I heard my father's voice.

Since the door was open, I walked it and my father told whoever he was talking to goodnight and stood up from behind his desk and walked over to me.

" My son. I can't believe the time has come for you to be in charge. He gave me a hug and we talked a bit.

"Your mother would be very proud."

At the mention of mom, I stiffen and gave father a smile.

Soon guests starting arriving and we went out to the patio and greeted everyone. After dinner, father gave a speech and shook hands with me in front of everyone and announced me the CEO of KM Industry.

That night after everyone left. I went to the terrace of my room and looked at the full moon and a couple of stars in the sky.

This is not what I wanted. It's not my place to take that away from him. Father had been so quick to get every last painting and picture of him. Sometimes I even forget what he looked like.

I was sixteen when it all happened. No one of us knew it was going to happen.
