chapter 13 foolish prince
Four days after the royal palace was attacked and taken over by his step uncle, Kin was now moving in the desert. He looked at the map which he would be able to understand better if he had taken his studies seriously. The once chubby prince, was now looking like a fat hungry monkey. He looked dead in the eyes,thirsty, hungry and lifeless.
After walking a couple of miles, on the fourth day Kin finally heard the sound of singing and dancing in the desert, at first he thought it was the deserters, a group of robbers and mercenaries.They were based in the desert ,but when he got closer he saw that it was just a caravan. He immediately approached and asked for help, as he was about to speak, the young prince passed out.
After few minutes, the prince woke up in a tent, very beautiful and well decorated. After adjusting his eyes he saw a man and little girl beside him both staring at him like they had just made a new discovery.
"How are you feeling?" the man asked Kin who was half asleep.
"Hungry and thirsty" Kin replied and was immediately bought some food and water.
While he was eating, he saw the man looking at a coin, which he realized it was the same one Faruk had given him
"Where did you get that"? Kin asked while searching himself
"I should be asking you that" the man replied
"I got it from my master"
"This your master, is he still alive?"
"Uhn… I don't know" Kin replied
"So you're on the run, then."
"What? I didn't say that"
"This coin you were with belongs to my cousin, and the map he showed you is pointing to our home town for some reason and judging by what happen in Pshen few days ago I believe you escaped with the help of that fool and he told you to come to us… your highness" the man said to kin.
"Your highness? I'm not your highness, I'm your king" Kin said as he looked at Musa that was bowing in front of him
"I apologize your majesty"
"Your insolence will be forgiven" Kin replied
"Now please leave me I would like to rest" Kin said as he lay down and slept off.
The next morning, Kin was treated like a king or he outright demanded for it, he made demands, asked some questions about how rich the caravan was, how much they made in a year and how many girl were part of the group. Even after all he had gone through, he still was a pervert.
Musa who was in charge answered all his questions, withholding some information ofcourse, he was ready to indulge the young prince for as long as he wanted after all he had already sent word to the royal capital about his discovery. He wasn't about to pass on an opportunity like this just because Faruk made a recommendation.
The next few days was like heaven for Kin he was well entertained, well fed and for a moment, forgot all his sorrows. He had not even realized that they had not been moving from where they were and it had been a few days since he arrived. The fool felt at home in the place that spelt his end and doom.
He spent the days boasting about how his mom had gone to her father to get help in taking back the kingdom and that when he becomes king he would reward everyone that helped him.
At night a party was throw to honor the "royal majesty" Kin Orun
After a lot of singing and dancing, Musa the man in charge of the caravan stood up and said
"I want to make a toast to the king of Wize, his majesty Kin Orun."
"My lord it has been an honor to dine with you and party with you."
"At first I thought you were just too young to understand what a good party was, but I was wrong when I saw you party like a fool in the past few days" Musa said , which angered Kin
"Are you calling me a fool?" Kin asked in anger
"Yes", a voice said from behind, it was Jai kings step uncle
As he saw who it was Kin began to tremble.
"Y-you, what are you doing here?" Kin asked with a shaky voice
"What do you think"? Jai asked sarcastically
"You know, I thought it would be difficult finding you… but I just didn't believe you would be foolish enough to admit yourself in the midst of all these people and think I wouldn't know where you were."
"You are indeed a fool... Grab him and bring her in" Jai said to his men.
"Immediately he was dragged to the middle of the party with a woman".
"Mom! why are you here?" Kin said as he looked at the woman in front of him.
"You dimwit. Thanks to you and your big mouth, you told them all your plans". The queen screamed at her foolish son
But I did as you said I didn't tell anyone where you went except.... Kin widened his eyes in realization as he remembered spilling the beans when he was boasting about a plan to take down the rebellion. His mother had gone to her home town to ask for men from her father but she was captured by Jai's men before she could get out of the country. His mom was from a powerful family in Eru.
"Hahaha" Jai laughed at the mother on scene before moving straight to Jai's mom and slit her throat just like he did to his brother. He enjoyed slitting people's throats, he loved the look in their eyes as they choked on their own blood.
Kin could not help but watch in horror as his mother gradually bled to death in his arms.
"Let the show begin" Jai announced, as his men immediately swung into action, bringing in a wheel and a chair, which they tied the horrid looking Kin on. He couldn't stop staring at his mother's corpse.
