The Diary of Twin Flames

Chapter 4

Prince Ian sits next to his father in the conference hall as they discuss the issue of the water pipes in village. The villagers have been complaining for decades about the water being saturated with iron, but the issue has been ignored until now. His father insists that the pipes are fine, but Ian can see the effect it has in his citizens. Many have been complaining about joint pains, fatigued, and their skin colors are a shade of bronze.

"Why must we spend our money on those low life in the village!?" Exclaims one council member.

"I agree! They are fine the way it is!" Says another member with all others nodding their heads.

"No! Our villagers are the backbone of our nation!", Ian throws his arms up in exasperation, "without them we would not have the food on our tables, the clothes on our backs, the furniture that we sit in, and everything else in the castle! How can you ignorant fools say that about your own people!"

"That is enough, son! Talk to your elders with respect." The king stands up and slams his hands down in the table, "As of right now our kingdom does not have enough money to change the whole village irrigation system, if you can find a way to raise the money by the time of your coronation then you can implement your first proclamation."

"Yes, father", Ian is irritated that he can not do anything now, but he can not help but smiles knowing that in less than a year he will become king. A much better one than his father ever was.

The meeting soon comes to an end and everyone goes their separate ways.

Ian heads over to the library to learn more about the villages irrigation system and to make a plan for a fundraiser. He walks down the long hallways up the stairs and finally coming to his distinction. This castle is like a maze, when Ian was little he would lose his ways many time, but now he knows every nook and cranny of the place.

Ian always felt like the castle was too big for him. Most times he would get quite lonely for he did not have many friends. He wishes to find someone to share this big place with. To show her his favorite places. The ones with the greatest views and the places he would hide out from his demanding father. He especially wishes to show this special person the library. His most treasured part of the castle.

As he enters the library the smell of old books gives him a nostalgic feeling. He would come here everyday as a child and read books from morning to night. Many of the books here he has finished and reread already, but considering the libraries large size he has a long ways to go.

He walks down the long rows of book and find a couple books of irrigation, grabs some paper and his writing instruments. He sits down to work and quickly gets lost in his thoughts. Many hours go by as he writes out what he has learned. The sound of the library doors opening inturups him.

A servant walk toward him and bows, "supper is ready your majesty."

"Thank you, tell them I will be there in a couple of minutes." Says the prince sincerely as he cleans up his things from the desk. After placing the books from where he found them he goes to the fiction area to pick a good nights read. He has read every book from this section, but he never minds reading a book twice. As he browses through the book binds he sees a red book he has never seen before. He picks it out and looks though the pages, but it is empty all except two words written on the back of the cover , "Twin Flames".
