Affair?

There exists a saying that no one is born evil, it is the world that changes them,

For evil isn't something inherent but something that is learned and this was the case for Askild.

Askild was a boy who grew up in a household where his father had no power and this was why he was killed for just looking at someone the wrong way.

An act that his mother couldn't report because she knew what would happen if she did open her mouth.

King Xenophanes was a carefree King but he took such things seriously; however, what would the friends of this man do?

She bit her tongue and lived with shame, an act that Askild despised as he learned one thing in his younger years.

The weak have absolutely no will to oppose the strong and as long as you hold the power, you decide what is right and wrong.

Askild didn't hate his mother because he understood nor did he resent his father as he was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
