Chapter 65: Traitor
Last Updated:
2022-01-20 22:58:21When my wife, the queen of this kingdom died decades ago, I've spent my days securing the safety of the kingdom as well as my son, Tyler. For some reason, the idea of being a second-rated king and leader of a wealthy and prosperous kingdom scared me too much. Too much that I have forgotten how to be a father to my son.
My days since then was spend to do the duties I have as a king but never as a father. I was so focused on surpassing the late king. So bad that even being a father to my only child seems to be so impossible for me.
And yet my son grew up into an amazing prince so fast I didn't get chance to watch him took his first steps, tripped on a flat surface, got dirty, cry, smile and laugh. I let my chance slipped in exchange to fulfill my desire.
Lucas, my queen's younger brother take on the duties and role of a father to my son and I would always be so grateful to him for that. He was always there for Tyler, whenever I am not around. He gu

"WHAT!?" Loki exclaimed as soon as he heard me. He looked at me with a fiery eye with both of his hands placed in his hips. His brows create a thick straight line as he tightens his jaw. I exhaled. Didn't know what to do, I placed my hands on his shoulders as I pulled him down to sit."Relax. He didn't do anything. Can't you see? I'm really okay," I said tapping him by his shoulder.Loki tossed my hand away and clicked his tongue as he looked at me with disbelief plastered real hard on his face. "Did you know what could've happen if Veto turns out to take you on!?" he shouted. "You would die a pitiful death! You won't even stand a fight with him!" "Loki... " Priam said in a low quiet voice. "Veto would never hurt Shaun. He won't not until the last night of Lycaea, that's for sure." Loki looked at his father, "What!? Are you telling me to let it slide just because of that reason!? Shaun would've died!" he said, point

"What!?" Austin exclaimed as soon she heard what Shaun have said. "You want to proceed with the Lycaea, gain that power and kill me Are you out of your stupid and empty mind!?" she angrily said as he put on her clothes and fixed herself. "What!? What do you think of me!?" Shaun answered, "Do you think I can do that to you?" he said reaching for the woman's arms. Austin's expression softens as she exhaled and sat down on Shaun's bed. "Just explain everything to me. What do you mean of going along with the ceremony?" she said. Shaun sat down beside her and pulled her closer to his side, "I only meant it as an act." he said. "We have to make Veto and his ally to believe that I really lose my control over you, gave in to my temptation and in the end, killed you with my own two hands. We have to make them lower their guards for our plans to be successful." he said stroking the woman's hair down gently.Austin put her arms around Shaun's waist as she rests h

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Aetos exclaimed slamming his hands against the table. More than anger, his face looks more worried than anything else. "Our king confronted the odd one? Why would he do that?" he said, the veins on his arms showed as he leaned towards the other two. "That's what I heard from the king." Hamlet said crossing his arms over his chest as he looked at Aetos with a blank expression on his face. Unlike the other two; Walter and Aetos, Hamlet seems to be calm and relax. Despite hearing it directly from the king that the odd one knew about everything, he sat there without a hint of worry on his face. "After he saw prince Tyler with that odd one countless of times, he wanted to know the real reason behind that closeness. Whether it was just a simple bond or... " he paused and smiled, "or our prince betrayal.""Our prince betrayal!?" Aetos exclaimed again with such horror on his face. "Our prince would never do that to our king!"

"What? Is that all you can do, Shaun?" Priam laughed at me, playfully swinging his sword in the air. "You have the courage to boast that you are the only child of the great king, but look t how weak you are? Turns out, training with prince Tyler didn't do that much for you, huh?" he said. His hurtful words sting my ears so much. Sometimes, I think deep down he really mean every word. I could hear my own teeth grinding with the emotions building up inside of me.Damn! I hate this feeling. I clenched onto the shaft of my sword and took a deep breath and swing at him in a speed of a light but he easily evaded my attacks and smack me in the head using the scabbard of his sword as he laughed crazily. "Is that it?" he scoffed, "you think that would be enough to beat the king? Just like that? Don't be so foolish, your highness. Surprise attacks like that won't work to a paladin who served your father for a long time."I gritted my teeth a

It has been days. Aetos have committed to observe and watch Silver, Lupus along with Winter unusual change of behavior.For the past couple of days, he has been watching them. Keeping a close but discreet distance from them. But unfortunately, he has found nothing. Instead, he noticed that indeed, Lupus and Silver is always together. Sometimes they are training with prince Shaun, there are times with them talking to Winter but several times with only themselves. And that alone is quite suspicious.Lupus is not one to spend too much time with any of them. He was always alone and prefers to be alone. He was aloof and was obvious to be wary of them. 'So, what happened? Why the sudden change?' Aetos thought to himself.He wanted to prove Hamlet he was wrong on suspecting the chief of the paladins, but Lupus and Silver's closeness seems off to him as well as to Hamlet. So he can never ignored the possibility of Hamlet's suspicion being right.

"I heard from Lupus that you've improved, Shaun." Tyler said as he swing his sword to Shaun's direction."I mean, he looked so happy when we got to talked about it. He looked like a proud father for his son, so much that it makes all the hair on my arms and legs to raised and wave."The side of Shaun's mouth moves a little upwards as he shielded his self from Tyler's attacks with his sword. "Lupus is just overreacting." Shaun said running away from Tyler. "Well.. Should I say I did?" he said, almost laughing as he continues to evade and escapes, shielding his self from Tyler's cruel attacks with no intention of stopping. "Lupus.. was all jolly.. and all smiles when he.. talked about it." Tyler said as he continue on attacking while Shaun continues on evading and shielding. "You know the old man. He gets all happy over simple things." Shaun finally let out a surprise attack to Tyler. Tyler's cheeks were scratched and wounded a little bit.

I didn't know I would regret something I myself had chosen. No one really forced me to do it, but I felt like I was deceived and played. "Oh? Is that all you can do?" her voice rings into my ear. It feels so irritating and annoying. She's one of the beautiful woman I have seen here in the kingdom. Her pale skin looks so beautiful on her.She looks so surreal, almost like a heroine straight from a comic strip. Her long hair is really magnificent and soft. I wonder how can she moved that fast with that massive and long hair. "Lady Austin, is that all you can do that?" she said almost laughing, "and you dare to say you would stay with the prince forever? That must have been an impossible dream you have there, lady." she smirked as she crossed her arms over her chest. She looked down on me, almost collapsing to the ground with an annoying smile on her face. It feels as if she was judging me with those pair of eyes. And I really hate them looking at

When Priam told me years ago that I was not his child and that someday, I would fulfill an important role given to me and would lead a huge kingdom in the future, I find it rather ridiculous and impossible than the feeling of being honored. I even told him that, how could a unique and indifferent child could lead something even greater and bigger than myself. How could a child with no clear origin be able to influence others and make them accept his leadership?How could I? But Priam just laughed at me as he caressed my head that time. He looked at me with a fatherly smile on his face and said, "Shaun, you're future is already determined even before you were born. Only you and the person you are destined to meet could only change that fate." he said and gave me a tapped on my back, "But I know, you would be able to change that fate, because unlike someone I know, you have a huge heart and personality to do so.

"So, what's your plan now?" I said as I swing my sword towards his direction.He easily evaded it as he laughed at my question. "To tell you honestly, I don't have any sort of plans or goals." he laughed as he pushed me using his sword, "I just want to live a peaceful life.""You could stay here." I quickly bend down when I saw him powerfully swinging his sword horizontally towards me. "I mean, you should. Your father's here. You could do whatever you want to do as you stay here too."Tyler chuckled and shakes his head. "You are so different from your father when you're like this." he jumped away from me as he threw some daggers towards me. "Your father wouldn't easily forgive someone who has done wrong to him. At least that's how I knew him based on the stories."It was my turned now to laughed at him as I threw some daggers to him. "He's not like that at all. I mean that's what Priam told me."

"How.. co-could you.. d-do this.. to me?" I said as I felt a burning sensation all through out my entire body. "I've trust..I've trusted you.."My eyes laid to Austin's crying face. She is trembling and I could see the fear plastered on her pale face. She looks so miserable as she keeps on struggling, trying to escape from the tight rope that is tied around her body.It was too tight to the point of it almost dragging her skin every time she would move or squirm, trying to get out from it."Sh-Shaun..

Her face is a mess.I clenched my fists and turned to glared at Veto, "How could..

Lycaea.It was a ceremony to honor the alpha and the coming king of the kingdom. For Arcadians, it is the most important gathering everyone has been waiting.To give their loyalty to their alpha, to honor his existence and to give their life in the service of their chief, there's no other things that they could've ever ask for.But unlike any other ceremony and gatherings inside the kingdom, Lycaea is only allowed to the members of the Executives as well as to the higher-ranking officials of the kingdom.So, the question is, why would the kingdom, especially Veto, would agreed to the trouble of setting up such an important ceremony for Shaun?Given the fact that he is the only child of the former king, Lycaon. He was supposed to be the heir, and that is not a secret to the entire kingdom. So, in order to somehow give respect to that thing, Veto needed to proceed with it.And he badly need to make it for he desire even greater p
