Prince Of Florence - 2
Soldiers used to shiver in their training under him. He was a very good leader but army wasn't a slap on the wrist for him. One mistake lead to straight four more hours of intense training.
Nobody could look into the Prince's eyes and deny him. It was like signing a death wish and he was very practicular about his army. He, himself was a master of each form of fighting, be it sword fighting, archery or defence technique. People who had witnessed him in war just shuddered at his image.
Once, he was in a the battlefield, it was like beast has unleashed himself. Riding horse with the speed of wind, his sponataneity was his key factor. Using his mind according to the situation was a bonus added to it.
While his father was busy admiring the girl's strength, he was busy thinking about Rome. Seeing the weak governance of Old King Victor, king of Rome, surrounding kingdoms found it a perfect opportunity to win Rome and mark it as their own territory. Main fight was in between kingdom of Sicily and Florence. Both had a important place in the history of Italia. Well, there was something else which connected them. It was small Justus, son of Augustus and Valentina. Everyone's heart used to squeeze in pain by seeing the poor boy of two years old who never got to see his mother's face. Augustus desperately wanted to go back to Florence to hold his son in his arms.
It was quite obvious that he was a loving father, an obedient son, a responsible brother and most importantly, caring Prince. Legally, he was the heir of throne but his brother's were not ready to accept the fact but they wanted to find a permanent solution to this problem. Their relationship with Sicily came to standstill and the solution which they thought could help them actually added more to the bitterness in already ruined relations.
King Atticus of Florence thought that it was a wise decision to marry his eldest son, Augustus to Princess of Sicily, Valentina but it went futile. With death of his beloved daughter, King of Sicily, Cassius cut all the ties with Florence. He blamed Augustus for his daughter's death. Internal fights, losing his love and seeing his son without a mother was taking a toil over Augustus's mental health. He couldn't find anyone trustworthy enough to share his feelings. His brother Felix, Linus and Magnus hated him with depth of their heart. It was just his younger brother, Marcus who wasn't hostile towards him. In fact, he loved Augustus and considered his words more important than his father. He was lost in his thoughts unknown to the fact that his father was planning something which was about to change his life drastically.
