Chapter seven

"You said that you finished them all off Amos, now you're telling us that you let both the sons live?!"

Xander began to blink slowly, his vision becoming less clouded and more clear from when he blacked out. He felt his head hurting slightly from suddenly waking up and he let out a soft groan.

It was so soft that the occupants in the throne room hadn't even heard him.

"Calm down Erin, maybe he's got something planned." A familiar voice was heard and Xander narrowed his eyebrows in confusion, he blinked again and he allowed his eyes to roam.

He realized he was in the throne room, about a dozen of men standing there, including Amos.

Speaking of the devil, he was perched comfortably on the throne as if it was made just for him.

"Oh don't worry Yoon, I have something planned."

That's when Xander let out a gasp, his head instantly darting to the blonde male who stood a few feet away from him. The Prince was lying in fœtus position on the floor, curled into himself from when he was...

Knocked out?

At the realization, the little Prince began to frantically look around for the small male that had made his body rack with fear. Upon searching for the little poor, he couldn't help but notice the others eyes that had now played on him.

The Prince's gasp seemed to have caught their attention. Then it hit Xander again... Yoon!

"You traitor.. "Xander groaned out a little and everyone tried to strain their ears to hear what the little one was saying but unfortunately missed it.

There was silence, everyone's eyes just trained on the boy sprawled before them. The Prince slowly began to regain his balance, he was slightly dizzy but he managed to get himself together. Some people moved forward in order to capture him but the king raised his hand in a signal to stop them,

"He is no threat..." Amos brushed the smaller off as if he were a mere speck of dust before he went back to talking to a blonde boy standing beside him.

"Everything is planned Erin, no need to stress."

The Prince had become enraged at the way he was just ignored and disregarded, as if he was not important. As if he was invisible, the very thought had irritated Xander because never in his life was he ever ignored and disrespected.

"You!"

Xander screamed, his pointer finger pointing accusingly at the king on the throne, the outsiders in the room became offended and growled at him.

"That is your king! Respect him you filthy little thing!" A female had popped out of nowhere, her hair was long and beautiful with porcelain white skin and plump red lips. Her hair was a strawberry red and curled behind her back.

Xander ignored the woman and took a few steps forward,

"You killed the citizens! You raided them?! Why? What was the use of that?! You wanted the throne, you got it. Isn't that enough?!" The Prince screamed till his voice was almost raw, he refused to cry. He will not cry. Even though he desperately wanted to.

"I don't think I have an obligation to explain myself." The king had an amused expression on his face, he even leaned back into his seat as if he was just relaxing and Xander felt offended again.

The girl with the red hair bored daggers into the Prince's head, as if she wanted to kill him with her looks.

"You do! You say I'm your Queen! So I deserve to know!" The small boy began to approach the king but was instantly grabbed on both sides by two tall men. Xander screamed before kicking and flailing.

He was so frustrated. He couldn't even mourn his parents' death in peace, shit after shit kept hitting the fan.

"Queen? What craziness is this?" Erin splutters out in distaste and disgust, his eyes were angry as they landed on the raven head who sat on the throne.

"And you Yoon! You've been conspiring with outsiders all this time?! We took you in when you had nowhere to go! You practically raised us! How could you?!" Xander turned his attention to the short blonde who stood further away from him.

The Prince would have thought that Yoon would feel some kind of remorse or look guilty but the next thing that happened was uncallled for and scary that it made Xander whimper and shrink back,

"You took me in?! Is that something to brag about?! Oh, so just because you gave me shelter over my head it means that I must serve you and always be good to you?!" Yoon snapped, he even began to approach the smaller rapidly, his mouth snarling and eyes piercing.

"You gave me shelter but I was never happy. Maybe you should ask yourself why I was even homeless in the first place?!" That very sentence made all the fight drain out of Xander as the sentence seemed to sink in.

"Oh what?! Did your father not tell you why? Did he not tell you anything he's ever done in his life?" Yoon calmed down a bit but he was still raging inside, a vein evident on his neck.

"W-what do you mean?" Xander felt fear settle within him. Fear because he was scared about what his father had done before that made so many people angry.

The Prince was really hoping that he wasn't on the wrong side. He really hoped he wasn't, otherwise he would look like a bad person too.

"Make sure to get your king to explain it all to you." The blonde said pained before he turned away and walked away and soon all the other outsiders had left, leaving Xander alone with Amos.

What was his father hiding from him?

Xander felt utterly helpless and he stood frozen for a little bit.

"Chris..." Amos suddenly ordered and instantly the small raven haired boy from earlier appeared out of nowhere. Like he just appeared from the shadows.

"Yes my lord?"

"Bring Xander to my room will you? Oh and maybe get Belle to ready him for bed." The king orders all the while staring at his Queen, Xander stared back and his eyes widened in shock at the realization.

"As you wish my lord." The boy named Chris turned away to stare at Xander with a smirk on his face and the small Prince felt his blood run cold.
