He lied on the soft mattress, and Kenneth slowly crawled on top of him. Alec looked heavenly handsome, like an angel sent to serve his king. His black hair spread on the mattress, highlighting his half-naked body.
Kenneth placed his hands on his waist and kissed his lower abdomen, sending goosebumps through Alec's body. He pulled his waistband and started sliding his trousers down to expose his intimate zone.
Alec bit his lower lip and smirked, "I remember when you wanted to cut my head." he said, playing with Kenneth's soft blond locks that tickled his naked abdomen.
Kenneth chuckled and pecked his thigh, making his legs weaken. "I am happy w

People, adults and children, gathered in the village to see the prime minister for the last time in their life. They watched the grey-haired man sitting inside the iron jail, his face pale and his legs shaking. He was caged like an animal — though he was far worse than an innocent tiger. The villagers shouted insults and threats and threw stones at him. The prisoner had no more leather or fancy fabrics on his body. Now, he was only but lower than a beggar with his stained shirt and trousers. He was shoeless, and his feet were bleeding.The royal guards were ordered to drive the prime minister and the men who helped him to a faraway island outside the kingdom. The king decided it would be merciful to publically execute him, so he and Keith thought it would be better to exile him. The prime minister was not only going to live on an island and rot to death. No, he needed to pay for what he had done to the women and girls. He destroyed their families, and now was time

Kenneth gladly accepted it, and Alec was ready to join when Keith pulled his wrist before he entered the salon, "Can I talk to you for a moment?" he asked.Alec raised an eyebrow as his friend looked nervous, "Of course."Keith walked to the drawing-room and asked Alec to take a seat. "What is going on? You are scaring me." he nervously chuckled.Keith smiled and sat in front of him. He joined his hands and took a deep breath, "I knew you since we were children, and I had no idea I would be doing this someday."Alec looked at him with confusion, and then he laughed, "Are you going to confess your love to me now?" he joked, and Keith chuckled, "No, thank you.

Alec readjusted his grip on his two-handed longsword as he waited for his opponent, his best friend, to make a move. A deafening silence reigned around the large square as the public watched the two fighters whose eyes are following each other's weapon walk slowly as they wait for the right moment to attack.Keith slid forward and cut at his left arm; however, Alec was quick to trap his blade on his guard and stab his chest. The crowd cheered for him, but it did not last long as the adversary charged in to clash their swords and disarm his friend."You seem to forget who you're fighting against," smirked Keith as he stabbed him one last time before claiming victory. "You're dead—again."

Alec moved closer to the stranger to take a better look at his face. He tilted his head and frowned as he was confused about their resemblance. "You look so much like him. Who are you?" he asked.The scarred-faced man didn't say a word nor moved or flinched. He stared at Alec with cold eyes as he studied his face. His fists clenched when the swordsman suddenly took off his hat.Alec widened his eyes when he saw the stranger's blond hair. Now he was sure it wasn't his friend playing a joke on him.He pressed his lips nervously and put the hat back on the man's head. Then he was about to touch his face when the stranger grabbed his arm strongly and pulled him closer to mutter, "Don't ever touch me."Alec felt s

Keith knocked on the door furiously. He has been waiting for his friend to show up in the village for a long time.Carolyn opened the door and smiled widely when she saw him standing outside. "Keith! What brings you here?""Is your brother here?"The girl raised an eyebrow, "Weren't you supposed to be together? He left this morning to meet you."Keith frowned, "I have been waiting for him for the entire morning. He was nowhere to be seen. Are you sure he did not come back home?" Carolyn shook her head.Keith pressed his lips nervously and took a deep breath. His best friend was not one to disappear suddenly without telling him about it. Something must be going on and

Alec was lifting his hundredth brick while his arms killed him with the pain. His skin was still bleeding, and some scars already showed on his arms and legs from the torture. It was painful, but doing hard labour silently was his way of revolt. Alec wanted to show the Mad King that he was not going to talk no matter how much he hurt him. Keith was the most important person to him after his family, and he would never betray their friendship.Carl pushed him strongly to quicken his steps, and the prisoner was about to lose his balance, but thankfully he had a quick reflex. Alec mumbled a curse and threw the brick with the rest. They were constructing a private garden for the queen, and they forced him to work in order to speed up the construction.The sun was burning like a flame, and Alec started to feel weak. He only had a

Kenneth rested his back against the wooden chair with a jar of wine in his hand. It was a long and exhausting day for him. A lot of things happened, and it was too much for him to take. He needed to decide how to punish the prime minister and Gwendolyn for their crimes. What they did was so disappointing that he thought death would be a mercy and not a punishment. Public execution is easy and fast. They would not have time to think about their choices nor regret them. In a matter of seconds, they would be dead, and nothing would change.Kenneth knew it would not satisfy him if they left without suffering for what they did to him. Hehad a conversation with Keith before he retreated to his chambers. His twin brother suggested ways to punish the prime minister and his daughter and help the women and the girls have a happier life.Kenneth was alone after everyone left the palace

Alec and Keith froze as they understood what the king meant bythat night. "I was only but a child," Kenneth whispered as he eyed every inch of the man's face. "You made a child hold a sword and kill his parents." Gasps and whispers sounded in the room after they heard the king's last words. Kenneth never spoke about the past before. He let people around the palace and the villages believe all sorts of stories about the late sovereigns' death. That haunting memory was too painful that it made him weak, too weak to defend the truth. "I remember you," Kenneth cupped the man's face with one hand and squeezed his jaw tight, "Your laughter still sounds in my ear every night before I sleep. You enjoyed that, didn't you?" he squeezed tighter until the man groaned with pain. "You loved seeing an innocent child ending his

The colour drained from the prime minister's face the moment he saw the king's guards dragging his men inside the throne room. His heart hammered in his chest at each of their steps. He recognised the man who led his soldiers for years, as well as his second and other young men. He tried to keep a straight face and faced the king, whose eyes did not leave him until his guards pushed the prisoners to kneel on the ground.Kenneth stared at him with a cold expression, and he knew he could not find any more excuses now. The truth was now uncovered and there was no way he could escape its consequences.

Carl led the soldiers in the forest, following the path Keith described. There were dozens of armed men walking discreetly to avoid getting caught by the black-dressed enemies. He tightened his grip around his sword handle and looked behind to make sure his men were following, especially a handsome man whose skin got tanner after spending many days under the sun. Carl never paid attention to anyone as he did to Todd. His life was all about training harder to get promoted to a higher position, but lately, being by Todd's side brought him a foreign satisfaction. "Halt!" he raised his arm, signalling his men to stop walking. He walked further from them to check the surroundings, and as Keith said, a dozen trees circled a large camp. Heshook his head in disbelief and walked back to warn his men and get ready to invade the tents.

The next day, Kenneth sat on his throne as he thought about what Keith said the night before. He rested his elbow on the silver arm and his chin on the palm of his hand. An army. It was as he feared. His enemies seriously wanted him out of the picture to have the kingdom for themselves.The doors opened, interrupting his thoughts. Gwendolyn entered the room, followed by her court ladies. She had her hand on her lower back as if to support the baby growing in her belly. Kenneth rolled his eyes at it. He admired her audacity to not forget a single detail to prove she was pregnant."Good morning, my king," since she got'pregnant',Gwendolyn stopped bowing to Kenneth. The child was an excuse to drop the formalities, but now Kenneth only saw disrespect. Gwendolyn was insulting him with her lies and her pretending. "My apologies for not showing up during breakf
