So He Runs

"Father, I'm sorry, but I cannot obey you on this. I will never marry her," I say. I can't really believe I'm defying the king; it all feels like a dream.
"Oh, believe me, son, if it's the last thing I do, I will make you marry her, whether you want to or not!" is the furious, yet firm response.
I run from his presence. He was my father. I was the prince. That ends tonight.
Tonight, I run.
