The friends, the truth❄️

I know that you are tired and scared, and I know that you want to give up. But for once, I'll be the one to save you

Crown Prince Clearblue
Jackson's body laid limp in front of me as we continued to dash trough the snow. I could barely see anything infront of me, the storm was too thick. But we had to ride at full speed, or else the soldiers might catch up.

On the other hand, it's already been several hours and the snow has covered our footsteps by now. There is no reason to hurry, except maybe to get to the palace as fast as possible.

Jackson had a cloth around his wound, that I had washed with snow while we rode. He was still unconscious, but I could feel him breathing, which effectively eased my mind. He sighed in his deep sleep and changed his position slightly. My heart jumped at the cuteness. I can't believe I almost lost him without getting to tell him that I love him. Just the thought of it makes me anxious and sad.

The miners village isn't that far from the capital. It's a trip that only takes a day, so we'll be there by the evening. I just hope that Zyris will be okay until then, and that I'll know what to do when I meet my father. He wants to kill me after all. My own father wants me dead, because he considers power more important than his own son. I wonder what mother thinks?

I hope that my other siblings are ok, and that he hasn't tried to kill them as well. Maybe he is planning to make one of them the king and train them to become war maniacs like him. I'm not quite sure why he is doing this actually. For power or because he doesn't want me to be king?

While we ride I form out a plan in my head. I need to kill my father, I've figured that much. But how can I even get close to him without getting killed immediately? I continue to ponder hopelessly, knowing that it's all so impossible. Then it suddenly hits me like a light bulb.

Zyris Rosen

Teno shudders beside me on the cold dungeon floor. We haven't gotten any food in days, and hunger is practically eating itself from my stomach and up. It's so painful that I have to stay seated, not to mention that my energy is low enough for me to pass out. At least we got a little water.

I feel extremely guilty for bringing Teno into this. I know he has said that he is fine with dying with me, because he wants to die for the right cause. But he is only 17, how can I let him die? That maniac king! He is the cause of everyone's misery!

Two guards pass our cells, talking amongst each other in hushed voices. I can't make their faces because of the dark, but I when they pass our cell I can hear them clearly.

"Do you think the crown prince is dead by now?"

The soldiers voice is sad and quiet. I know that nobody here is on the kings side, but nobody is strong enough to stop him. Especially since they believe the crown prince to be dead.

Tears roll down my eyes. Are they dead now?
