The Prince and the Theif

stealing the crown

As I enter my father's room I spot his crown on the table. I cover myself with the cloak I took from Isabella to hide my face, "I intend to find out just what happened to my mother one way or another before I steal that crown", I say under my breath as I quietly draw my sword. Then I lay my sword's blade against his throat and disguise my voice like mother taught me so he won't know its me. Where is the queen? My wife is dead, how did you get in here who are you? I slam my blade hard against his throat as I say I am the one asking the questions here if you don't tell me what I want to know I will kill you as well as your son. Oh please!, the boy is not even mine I couldn't careless if he is dead in truth I just needed an heir for my throne is the only reason I kept him. So far as I am concerned do what you want with him it's not like I have not got plenty of servants who can bear a child to take the throne. Besides the boy never listens or hardly says a word to me any way, if you leave now I will not call the guard and will even give you the boy as a trade to leave me alive if he strikes your fancy. I do all I can to keep my composure but the rage builds and I lift my sword high above me watching him sweat and shout no, please no, as I plunge the sword right into his heart and twist it. then pull it out and continue to stab him when I stop I cut off his head for good measure. Once I calm down I find myself covered in the Kings blood and strip out of the bloody garments. Then begin searching for the clothes my mother once wore when she was alive teaching me how to be a theif. But when I go to the drawer I find a secret compartment as well as a package with my name on it and a note that reads. "My little one this is for you. I had it made for when you got older just incase I could not be with you and you took an interest in my life style outside of the castle. I hope you like it. Please remember that I will always love you and never forget I shall always be with you". I hold the note tight in my hands oh mother!.., I say in a choked tone as I begin to cry and unwrap the package. It is an outfit tailored like hers with my favorite colors as well  as hers. After crying for awhile I grab the crown then put on the fresh new garments laying the bloody garments on the Kings bed sitting them on fire after doing so I say goodbye to the dead King. Goodbye and good riddance you sick, monstrous,bastard, just before I walk out the door, slamming the door shut behind me. As I put my hood up sliently I then begin making my way to my room within the shadows.
