Chapter 5. 18 years eairlyer

Rick had his invention equipped to his hands as lasers fired out from it.
He quickly sliced the dummy into pieces by dicing it with his hands!

His father walked in clapping, impressed by his skill.
"You're good at fighting, I like to see that," He said.

Rick looked over. "I made these myself," Rick replied.

"We have smiths for designing, don't waste your time making these things; a good king only wastes his time on worthy things!" His father said.

"But I enjoy inventing," Rick replied.

"You're the future king son, it's your duty to study and practice for being a formal king," Father told.

"But... I don't want to be king," Rick said.

"Then what did I raise you to be? A princess?! You can't just abandon your duties for some kind of foolish hobby, Rick!" Father exclaimed.

"You're twenty years old for crying out loud! Be a man!" He angary walked out of the room leaving Rick with the lingering silence.

Rick stared at the lasers adjusting it as he thought.

Rick was in the middle of his siblings, His sister, Payten was the oldest, and his younger brother, John. Sense Rick was the oldest male, he was next in line for the power of the throne. He knew Payten thought it was unfair sense she was the oldest, she wanted to be queen. Rick's father made him the example of what a Royal king should be for his siblings, and if he didn't make it up to his expectations he would get beaten.
Rick had to be the best at everything he did, or else he would be punished.

His siblings didn't like him since he was better than them, and so Rick didn't have anyone strong relationships with anyone. It made him emotionally unavailable and he didn't share his feelings or thoughts, He was trained to keep them to himself.

  

Rick packed a bag and left everything behind. He was leaving this place. He got into his car and turned the radio up.
He didn't know where he was going, but he knew he was heading somewhere away from that place.

He slows down into traffic. it was slow, but he didn't mind.
Someone recognizes Rick and rolls down their window, exclaiming, "Hey! It's the King's son!"

Rick never normally went out without someone by his side, so he ignored them.

Someone heard the person yelling and paid attention.
They got out their car and rushed over to Rick, knocking on his window.

Rick looked over concerned and confused.

"What's the prince doing all alone out here?" They asked.

Rick pulled down his window slightly. "Why are you getting out of your car in the middle of the road?" Rick asked.

"Are you kidding? You're the prince!" They replied.

"Get back into your car idiot!" Rick was annoyed.

"What did you just call me??" They got pissed.

Rick held the honk of the car to get him to go away.

They punched the window of Rick's car aggressively!
"What the hell are you doing?!" Rick got angry.
He got out of the vehicle and pushed the man away.

The man threw a punch and hit Rick in the chin! People got out their car to stop the fight.
Rick jumped in the air and kicked him aside!
A man grabbed onto Rick holding him back. "Let me go!" He exclaimed. The man fighting Rick took that moment as an advantage and rushed in for a hit!
