1 Fallen Prince

[ E/N: E/N will be Editors note lol, just tell me if I get something wrong with the grammar or with the story and I'll fix it to what you say :) Btw, this chapter is mostly a information dumpster so jump in if you want to be covered in K N O W L E D G E. ]

Lying on a wooden bed, a slim, young man with bruises engulfing his entire body. He laid there breathless as his body laid there with no signs of movement. Besides him, a fat man wearing a black suit was crying next to him, holding the young man's thin hand.

" No... it can't be... young master... " The man said, crying painfully as memories emerged from nowhere and floated around inside his head.

The man currently crying is Sam, 32 years in age and works as a butler. Long ago, Sam was an Orphan living a poor life in Grey Terminal until a noble man took him. The man then had him become a personal butler of his noble household at the very young age of 10.

The only thing Sam could recall was Remus and his wife, Celia, who were very kind toward him and treated him well. So far that Sam even thought of Remus of a younger brother. Remus would even offer Sam titles and mansions to live in but he would decline the offer as he'd decided to pledge his loyalty to Remus and his family till his final breath.

Sam's life was quite peaceful and happy until 3 years ago, he could clearly remember on that year, his master had come with a severe wound and lost large amounts of blood.

Sam shook his head as he cleared those horrible thoughts away from his mind to be put away.

Although after that incident, his master's kindness hadn't changed, Sam could clearly notice that Remus's attitude was different from the past. Remus wasn't as confident and courageous as he usual was.

A year after Sam's noticing, Remus decided to retire. However, when the other prince's and nobles from the Goa kingdom who had grudges later found out started scheming against him. In the end, they had Remus lose his title as 2nd prince and had turned him into a regular noble.

During those times, Remus fell into depression and another year later, his family's treasury was taken away from him by the Goa kingdom, only leaving some small bits behind. His wife, became ill and passed away a peaceful death.

The treasury become smaller and smaller as each household worker of the family left until Sam only remained by his side along with a guard named Lance who also was similar to Sam.

The complete breakdown was on a year later that problem, an enormous fire had swept through Grey Terminal. Sam and Remus attempted to save the homeless people living in there by asking the king and nobles but their ideas were shot down and denied. A day after the fire, Remus nearly had a heart attack as he saw the corpse of Grey Terminal. It'd burned down and left him imagining the people there left to be burried.

Finally, Remus had a heart attack. Remus was disappointed with the nobles and royal families, along with anger following along with major sadness.

With the death of Remus, there were only 3 people left within the household, those being Sam the butler, Lance the guard, and Ramus, the last remaining family members of Remus's blood. Both Sam and Lance made an oath to that they would never leave Ramus and stay with him to repay Remus's kindness.

WHAM! The door bursted open and in came a tall young man around 210 cm who wore a black suit and had orange spiky hair.

" Saaammm, I bought the medicine for young mast... " The young man paused as was a lost for words when he saw Sam with a dejected look while crying.

" Young master... hik!... hik!... is GONE! " Sam struggled to say aloud, with some snot dripping down his nose.

When Lance heard that one sentence Sam uttered, he felt as if he was hearing a thunderclap ringing in his mind. His knees felt weak as he struggled to stand straight as he slowly fell down to a halt.

[ E/N * His Knees weak palms are heavy mom's spaghetti * sorry lol ]

" Noo.... It can't be... young master once said me he'd bring me to see the vast and amazing sea of the Grand line! ... Young master promised me that he'd achieve a better life then old master! No! No! No! " Lance cried.

An hour later of Sam and Lance falling into despair and suffering, succumbing into sadness. They then both kept checking on Remus, hoping that he'd just magically wake up healthy as ever, wishing that a miracle would come true, but it never did...

" ... You know that young master once said that he'd have his own island and make his retainer live happily on that island... " Lance stated as he sat against the wall weakly.

" ... Yes... I do remember that... when those shamless nobles forcefully stole our master's treasury, I did hear young master say that. Although master didn't believe him, I did... " Sam replied.

" Young master is always hard working, although he gave up hope for retaining his family position in the kingdom, he never slacked off and continued his studies in botany, pharmacy and alchemy. Even a royal doctor once said that his knowledge is equal that to famous scientists from East Blue. " Lance responded back with.

" Indeed... Unlike his father who didn't have the slightest bit of patience, Mistress however, once was a famous pharmacist and botanist from the East Blue but with such irony was that she couldn't cure her own disease ... I really missed Mistress, she would always defend me when I was scolded by master... " Sam said, sighing.

" Mistress did say that young master has much better potential then she did herself in botany and pharmacy. " Lance said, as they then started reminiscing about the past but soon realized young master was actually not on this planet anymore and felt sadness once again.

" It's those bastards fault... They decived young master... They told him that the king summoned him young master to the royal palace to get bestowed the positsion of one of the kingdom scientist's team. Arriving, he found out that it was all a lie! To make young master embarrass himself infront of the king and the delegation of the neighboring kingdoms. The results of that was young master driving into madness and assulting that Desunen IX and Mikunen IV. But he ended up getting thrashed about in the royal palace! " Lance said angrily as he gritted his teeth but stood up and began exiting the room.

" Wait... Lance, where are you going...? " Sam said as he then saw Lance carrying a rifle with him.

" Lance! What're you going to do with that?! " Sam questioned, pointing a finger toward the rifle.

" I'm gonna go kill those bastards... Life for a life... I've had enough of this! They dare touch our master's last hope... " Lance said as he grabbed and readied ammunition for the rifle.

" Calm down Lance! You'll only get yourself killed! We've already lost too much... " Sam said, trying to stop Lance in his tracks.

|| In Ramus's room. ||

Without the two knowing, Ramus's body began to change, his pale face becoming red and then into a normal one. His heart started to pump weakly and the dormant cells within his body began to circulate throughout it. His organs began to function and thin air filled his brain.

[ E/N Thought I forgot to save this when going to settings, almost died for a second but yea this was harder then I thought it was going to be lol. ]
