Prince Beck has always wanted to know the difference between a conqueror and the conquered. And truly, even though he never wanted to take the mad king's words to heart, the meeting today had shown him one thing.
The way his opinion was ignored, and his being overlooked, while the other leaders spoke in a tone that best suited their agendas told him all he needed to know ---
That he was never meant to be a conqueror.
He had never been a conqueror.
To put it simply, he was the sheep among wolves, the lizard in a den of dragons, and a prostitute among newly wedded loyal brides.
Among the fallen leaders in his presence, he was the only one who stood conquered.
After King Bor had responded, the sun rose and the brilliant morning light shone, illuminating everything it touched.
King Ameal responded, "Why don't you come down and find out?" His eyes never left the mad king's figure.
