Disrespect to the King was to be punished by 200 hundred lashes. You shall also be stripped of your title and sent to the village on the outskirts of the Kingdom.

No one wanted this so they forced down their desire to gossip. They would see the child sooner or later.

"Rise" King Zedekiel commanded as he sat on the throne.

They slowly raised their heads and everyone was shocked to find the human Prince standing beside their King, dressed in their King's robes. The robes were too big for him so he had bunched them up around his waist, revealing his white feet.

What shocked the officials the most was the fact that the human Prince's toes were painted red!

Why did the human Prince paint his toes???

And he was grinning from eat to ear, like a cat that had done something naughty but was very happy.

"Good morning, your highness" One of the officials said, bowing towards Prince Ron. Seeing this, the others did the same. Some bowed slightly, some bowed deeply. Prince Ron didn't care though. He

    Prince Ron couldn't help but laugh. "Of course! They're all yours after all. And don't worry about keeping some for your families. Everyone in Netheridge will get a basket."The Officials ooed and ahhhed, surprised that Prince Ron could be so thoughtful. They suddenly saw him in a new light. Who said the human Prince was treacherous and untrustworthy? The human Prince was a gem! A true rare gem!Surely, the way to men's hearts was through their stomachs.The Officials started to eat the snacks, munching and giving sounds of approval. Completely forgetting that their King was in front of them.Zedekiel frowned as he watched his Officials being won over by the human Prince. It was like he had planned it. Everyone in Netheridge already liked him.Then again, why didn't he get a basket? Everyone got a basket except him. If the human Prince wanted to win people, he should have started with him, the King. Just what was he playing at?"Is that all?" King Zedekiel asked Prince Ron. He was ann

    "Go on" he commanded. "What do you want to say? I believe that's not all."Official 3 smiled and bowed. "Your Majesty is wise. Let's put aside the marriage of the human Prince and our Princess and think of the marriage of our King."Everyone listened attentively. Even Zedekiel sat up straight."Princess Rose is just a princess." he said. "Your Majesty, if you marry her, you're marrying her alone. She'll move here, to this cold place and we will never be able to leave. The Mother Tree will rot away and we may even sieze to exist."Their faces went gloomy at the mention of the Mother Tree. They all knew it was true."On the other hand," he continued. "Prince Ron is the crown Prince. He is the future King of Ashenmore. Like Official 4 said, he will take his father's place in 2 years. Your Majesty, instead of marrying Princess Rose, why not marry the Crown Prince of Ashenmore?""Preposterous!" Official 4 shouted. "That's insane!""Are you crazy?!" another Official shouted. "Do you want to

    "So... Will you tell me where we're heading? I don't recognise this place at all." Prince Ron said as he gazed at the high crystalline walls of the long hallway. The are was cold unlike the other paets of the castle. It almost seemed abandoned. He held the shiny pearl between two fingers as he mused; "I really don't want to get lost again. It will weaken my beloved's trust for me. I don't want him to think I'm snooping around like some spy.""Him?" Prince Kayziel inquired, surprised. The pearl emitted a soft glow, as if it was showing Prince Kayziel's emotions. "The person you love is a man?"Prince Ron sighed as King Zedekiel's handsome face flashed in his mind. "Yes. Like you, I'm gay and I'm in love with a wonderful man. I just don't know how to get him to love me back." He then frowned. "You said you would help me but you haven't done a single thing!"Prince Kayziel chuckled. "The deal is, you help me then I help you. We first have to figure out a way to show my nephew what happen

    "I do not understand" King Zedekiel said to the Mother Tree.They were standing under the Mother Tree. The wind was mild and her leaves were swaying gently. There was a quiet hum which only the Elves could hear. The Mother Tree was happy to see the King and Queen Mother. It had been so long since they paid her a visit. She excitedly stretched her branches, caressing their faces and hair.Zedekiel wasn't happy. The Mother Tree was ignoring his statement. "Why did you give that human access to the ancestral burial ground?" he asked. "Why did you touch him in such a gentle manner? Why do you even like him? Have you forgotten what he is?"The Mother Tree moved a branch and knocked off Zedekiel's crown in annoyance.Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh. "You know his name. Why don't you just say it?"Zedekiel frowned as he snapped his finger and his crown flew back to his head, resting softly atop his silver hair. "Fine." He grumbled. "Why did you let Prince Ron in? I need answers because

    "Whoa, she can even make sounds!" he exclaimed. "This tree is really unique."The King and Queen Mother were shocked to know Prince Ron could hear the Mother Tree. Only Elves were supposed to. Was he even human?Zedekiel definitely knew that there was more to human than he initially thought.The Mother Tree was sad that she had forgotten her name and by the looks of it, neither the Queen Mother nor the King could remember. She wrapped her branch around Prince Ron's arm and rubbed herself on his body like spoilt child.Prince Ron laughed. He was very pleased. It was the same umbrella tree he had seen before he fell and lost consciousness. "She's so cute. I feel like I can understand what she's saying. I think she's sad." He patted the leaves with a smile. "Aww don't be sad that you don't have a name. I can give you one."The Mother Tree immediately hummed happily, making Prince Ron laugh.The King and Queen Mother watched, amazed by their interaction. Zedekiel was completely stunned fo

    How could a human be so beautiful?Prince Ron was elated. He couldn't believe he was in his beloved's arms once again. Surrounded by his beloved's unique scent, he certainly didn't want to let go. In fact, he didn't even want to open his eyes for he was afraid to see his beloved's expression, knowing his beloved didn't like him. But when Zedekiel growled, he knew it was time to stop.He sighed inwardly and consoled himself. 'Ah, there there. Don't worry Ron. One day, he'll be the one begging to hold you'. He snickered then raised his head to gaze at his beloved's handsome face.King Zedekiel was wearing a frown and Prince Ron didn't like it so he made a move to step back but Zedekiel's hold just went tighter, refusing to let him go. Prince Ron was confused. Did the cold Elf King just stop him from moving? He thought it was impossible.Thinking he was imagining things, Prince Ron tried to move again but Zedekiel seized his waist, preventing him from moving an inch. Prince Ron winced fr

    Immediately after saying that, Prince Ron snickered quietly for he noticed his beloved was thinking.He huffed and raised his chin, muttering; "Your Majesty, I know it has only been a few weeks since we've been here but you should be able to tell some things about me already. I cannot believe you would even think that of me. I am very angry and disappointed."Admist everything, Zedekiel could only hear one thing. It was clear. The human held no feelings for the Elf Princess in his heart.Zedekiel's heart could finally calm down. His hold on the human's waist eased and he even smiled a little. His sister did not own the human's heart. Being in his arms and still muttering away, Zedekiel couldn't help but find the human cute. To stop his rambling, he said; "My apologies, Prince Ron. I didn't realise you were so capable. I shouldn't have accused you of being in cahoots with the prisoner."Prince Ron "!!!!!!"He felt like he was struck by thunder. His body went rigid and he stared at the

    "But your highness, it is very cold in Netheridge. You can't wear such clothes out!" the bodyguard, Leo said, exasperated. "You're not even feeling well. If you go out like this, you'll surely catch a cold. Your highness, please, reconsider!""Reconsider what?" Prince Ron snapped as he fixed the flimsy robe over his body. "I like this colour. This is what I want to wear and I don't even feel cold. It is my body so what's it to you?"They were within the King's Chambers. Zedekiel had gone to attend to an urgent matter so Prince Ron decided to dress up for his dungeon date. None of the King's clothes fit him so he asked a servant to bring the thinnest clothes she could find. Something that couldn't protect a person from the biting cold of the Netheridge Kingdom.The servant found a set of thin wine coloured robes and presented them to the Prince who was so happy he held her hands and danced with her for a few seconds. She had no idea how much she had helped his love life. If things work

    The urgency in the guard's voice echoed through the halls as they burst into the room, their breaths heavy with adrenaline. As the guard's words pierced the air, the throne room was engulfed in a sudden eruption of emotion. Gasps and murmurs swept through the gathered courtiers like a gust of wind. The Officials rose from their seats, their voices overlapping in a cacophony of concern and urgency. Servants scurried to relay the news throughout the castle.Zedekiel’s younger self, seated upon the throne, stood swiftly, a mixture of emotions flickering across his face: worry, relief and determination. “Is he alive?” he asked as the guards gently laid Prince Kayziel’s body on the floor. The body was motionless, skin wet, matted with blood and dirt.The current Zedekiel watched quietly for he could remember everything that had happened concerning his betrayer of an uncle. If he had known everything his uncle had planned, he would have made sure he died right on the floor.The air hummed w

    In the end, he sighed and stood up. “Fine. You’re right. You’re your own person. I have no right to dictate what you should and not do. I don’t want you to ever feel like that’s what I’m doing. You’re my baby brother Ral, and you mean the world to me so I’m just trying to protect you. I’m sorry if I came off as a dictator. You don’t have to come back with me. You can stay here and wait for him. I’ll figure out what to tell mum and dad.” Not expecting his headstrong brother to agree with him and even apologise, Ron was stunned. He stood up and gazed at his brother with a kind of look that was a mixture of shock and joy. “Really? You mean that?” “Of course.” Alaric nodded, smiling. “Would I ever lie to you?” Ron knew his brother always meant what he says and always kept his word so he broke into a large grin and engulfed his brother in a big hug. “Thank you thank you thank you thank you! Gosh brother you’re the best!” Zedekiel couldn’t help but smile at the entire scene. He was g

    Older brother? Zedekiel was stunned. Alaric was Ron's older brother?Ron pouted cutely and turned his back to Alaric. "Go away. I don't want to talk to you.""Oh I'm not here to talk." Alaric said. He stomped forward and grabbed Ron by the back of his collar and yanked. "I'm here to drag your naughty ass back home."Alarmed, Ron scurried to his knees and stretched out his hands. "Maelda!"Maelda immediately responded, sending her vines out to Ron. He grabbed them and pulled himself back. "I'm not going home! Not now!"Alaric groaned still tugging on his collar. "Ugh, why do you have to be so stubborn?""Let go!" Ron shouted, holding on to the vines of the Mother Tree. "I'm not going home! Not until I see him!"Alaric huffed angrily; "Come on, Ral. We have to go back! Mum and dad are worried sick. You've been here since yesterday.""Go back and tell them to not worry." Ron said, hugging the tree tighter. "I'm fine, Alaric. I just need to see him."Zedekiel watched the entire exchange,

    He gazed down at himself and realized he was in a ghost-like form, ethereal and weightless, allowing him to glide silently through the dimly lit space. It was at that moment his memories flooded back to him—Ron being taken, him trespassing into the Witches Coven and drinking Alaric's potion, a concoction meant to unveil his forgotten past. He gazed around once more, wondering, was this his past? When did this happen? Why was his room in such a mess?His ears caught a faint sound of crying. He immediately followed the sorrowful echoes and found himself floating before his bathroom. He raised a hand to turn the handle but his ghostlike form went through it. He then realised that he could not touch anything in his past. He was just meant to see what he had begged the Mother Tree to erase.On one hand, he was dreading what he would find in the bathroom and on the other, he was curious to know. He could rememberbhis Mother begging him to leave his past in the past and not try to remember.

    To say Zedekiel was shocked from the information was an understatement. He was completely flabbergasted. He couldn't even bear to see Ron hurt in any way. How could he kill him with his own hands? What the hell was Alaric talking about?"You coward." Alaric grumbled, adding a few more ingredients to his pot. "I've been so mad about it for years now. I even had half the mind to curse you in an endless limbo of emotional torture. For you to find true love but never have it but then, you helped me with Talon so I decided not to interfere with your fate. Besides, cursing you would be like cursing Ron since his fate is intertwined with yours and I can't do that to him.""You talk like you knew him." Zedekiel said, still confused. He didn't understand a single thing. "What exactly are you trying to tell me? I can never hurt Ron. I love him.""Yet you ended his life with your own hands." Alaric said, adding his final ingredient to the pot. A drop of water from the lake of memories. The green

    In the middle of the room sat a large black pot with thin white smoke emanating from it. The crow on Alaric's shoulder flew to it's small black cage while Alaric went to the pot, adding a few sprinkles of what seemed to be seeds. "So, how exactly am I supposed to help you?" He asked."I want you to find him." Zedekiel stated. "We have a feeling he might be at the Echoing Isle but we need you to confirm it."Alaric hummed, thinking about Zedekiel's request as he stirred the bubbling liquid in the pot. "By him, you mean your human lover right?" He didn't wait for Zedekiel to answer and continued; "I don't know why you're going through all this trouble for one tiny powerless human. I mean, you're the King of the Elves. An extremely powerful creature. Why not be with someone on your level? Someone worthy of you."Zedekiel's eyes blazed with fury especially after hearing the last sentence. The intensity of his anger seemed to fill the room with an electric charge. His jaw clenched tightly,

    As Zedekiel dared to step further into the village, a booming voice reverberated through the forest, causing the very trees to tremble."Who dares to trespass into the witches' coven?"In response to the commanding voice, the witches emerged one by one, encircling the Elf Brothers with an ominous presence that sent chills down Ludiciel's spine.Zedekiel on the other hand, kept walking. As if he didn't see or hear anything."Hey! I'm talking to you!" The witch who had spoken earlier shouted at Zedekiel. "Stop! Come back here!""Brother don't leave me!" Prince Ludiciel exclaimed, running after Zedekiel."I said stop!" The witch shouted once more but it fell on deaf ears for Zedekiel just kept on walking. Furious, she commanded her fellow witches. "Stop him!"They sprung to action, wands in hands as they all moved to attack Zedekiel at the same time.Zedekiel, already seething with pent-up anger, unleashed a torrent of raw power that surged forth like a tidal wave, crashing into the witc

    "Haven't you noticed? She's in love with him." Zedekiel said. "I think it all started the day he saved her during the feast but let's talk about this some other time. We have to find Ron."He was going crazy just by not having Ron by his side. In a way, he felt Mariel was right. It was due to his incompetence that Prince Ron was taken by Fredrick. He didn't protect him like he promised to. His heart hurt at the thought of what Prince Ron might be going through. Especially after the things Fredrick said to him the first time. If Frederick dared to hurt Ron in any way, he would give him the worst kind of death imaginable."What are we going to do?" Prince Ludiciel asked. "I have men combing through every inch of this Kingdom and the neighbouring ones. Should we wait for their feedback?"Zedekiel shook his head immediately. He was restless. "I can't wait that long. It has already been a day. If he was anywhere close, we would have found him by now. Fredrick knows that so he wouldn't keep

    Memories flooded his mind like a torrential downpour, each one a bittersweet reminder of the happiness he had once known. He missed their conversations, filled with laughter and whispered confessions. He missed their kisses and intimate moments and he longed to see Zedekiel's smile, a radiant beacon of joy that never failed to brighten his darkest days. He missed Zedekiel with an ache that seemed to penetrate his very soul. Being away from him hurt so much that he wanted to cry. Tears brimmed in his eyes, threatening to fall but he bit his lip, sniffling, trying to hold them back. With each passing moment, the ache of separation grew more unbearable, and Prince Ron found himself yearning with every fiber of his being to be reunited with his beloved who had captured his heart completely. He never knew he could miss Zedekiel so much. It was at that moment that he realised the depth of his feelings for Zedekiel. He wished he had answered quickly back at the bridge. He wished he had po
