prologue:The accident((2))

After Ed and William finished wearing their clothes and tied their hair in a ponytail, they set off towards the exit of the house to find Catherine there, waiting for them with the maid carrying Arya, after Catherine gave the maid a few orders about taking care of Arya and the house, the three began their journey towards the largest city in the northern part of the kingdom, the city of "White Swan."

It is about 30 minutes away from the nobles area by horse carriage, or about an hour and a half on foot. It is known by several titles, including the pearl of the kingdom, the city of prosperity, or well, it was known at least until the current king, "Bruce Bridston Hefelheim", also known as "The Mad King", gave it to his younger brother, Prince Michael Bridston Hefelheim, who is also known as "Michael The Rapist" . From the moment Prince Michael took over the rule of the city, the joy and happy atmosphere surrounding it has completely disappeared, and it has been replaced by a gloomy and sad atmosphere, and the smile of people in the streets has faded and been replaced by looks of fear and terror, the city that had children frolicking in its streets happily for several years is now empty as a ghost town Except in times of annual celebrations.

The titles that the king and his brother the prince now bear, in fact, did not obtain them after their assumption of power, but before they assumed power, as they only carried half of the royal blood. They were given birth by a maid who was working in the king's palace, but the old king at that time opposed the dukes and gave them the title of prince, as he loved that maid very much, so he gave her the title of a concubine, well she could not enjoy that title, she was assassinated on the same day Most of the rumors say that the queen was the one who poisoned her, and the king mourned her death and ordered that guardianship be tightened on her two sons. In order for the king to make sure of their safety, he stripped them of the right to rule and gave it to his eldest son, Prince Stephen, and thus they lost their ability to compete for the rule of the country, except of course if all their three brothers died.

Unfortunately, this is what happened after the death of the old king and on the day Prince Stephen was crowned He was poisoned and died, and his younger brother, Prince Ronald, was found beheaded next to a girl in his room at the Royal Palace, while Princess Branditta, the next day, was found naked in her room with torn clothes and of course dead, with facial expressions indicating terror and despair. While the Queen was found hanged in her room. Thus became Princes Bruce and Michael the only ones carrying royal blood, and Bruce became the king because he is the older brother.

Of course, the Dukes and some nobles opposed it, but after the Duke of the North and all his family and servants were found dead and without skin in their palace-like house, all the voices of opposition disappeared and the royal guard was replaced by a new organization called the "Scarlet Shield." Since that day, all assassination attempts have ceased due to the capture of these "traitors" who perpetrated the assassinations, and they have all been publicly executed.

Because of the "rumors" that claimed that King Bruce and his brother were the masterminds of these assassinations, people called him the "The mad king." As for his brother's nickname, it is due to the false rumors that Princess Brandita's maid started, which claimed that she saw Prince Michael enter the princess's room the night before her death, well. There is no evidence to confirm the validity of these rumors since the maid had "mysteriously" disappeared one day later, and because of King Bruce's love for his brother, he decided to gift him the rule of the city of "White Swan", and the house where the former North Duke and his family lived, who were killed at The hand of "traitors".

After the prince took control of the city, some mysterious disappearances began to happen to beautiful girls, who were later found dead in torn clothes. It is also clear that the "unknown" killer has a unique affection. He prefers girls under the age of 14, but he also does not mind those over 14. Surprisingly, this killer appeared immediately after Prince Michael took over the city.

After Catherine and the two boys got out from the garden of the house, they found a horse cart pulled by four elegant white horses waiting for them in front of the door of the house, led by a servant, who rushed to open the carriage door for them as soon as they got out of the house. Then the three of them got into the cart and the driver started to drive the cart towards the city. It took them 30 minutes to reach in front of a large white gate with a sign inscribed with the words "White Swan". As soon as the guards saw the logo on the side of the cart, they immediately let them pass. All the way, Edward and William kept looking at the people heading towards the city, some of them were walking on foot while others were riding in a horse-drawn carriage. Some of them wore expensive clothes while others wore ordinary clothes or at times torn clothes, even though the current king was incompetent. And his brother, however, the country itself does not suffer from any shortage of food, except for some, of course, who are very lazy to work and prefer to live dependent on others. Catherine used to look at me and her two sons from time to time with a smile on her face and then return to read the script that I was supposed to perform in today's play entitled "Hope and Revenge." And because William and Edward were aware of the extent of their mother's love for theater, they read that they would not boycott her and enjoy looking on both sides of the road

After they entered the city gate, the driver found a suitable place to leave the horse carriage, and the three left the carriage to head towards the theater, while the servant stayed to take care of the carriage, as the streets were very crowded, as people from all regions of the north were gathering in the city of the White Swan to celebrate the beginning of the New Year, which leads to the gathering of many Of the merchants who want to sell their goods and this led to crowding the streets, of course, all of this happens outside the nobles area where the theater is located, but it will be difficult to pass the carriage to get there, so the three continued to walk, holding each other's hands until they reached the theater, and all the way William and Edward continued to look at the different goods Which merchants used to sell until they arrived in front of a huge, circular and white building with a large sign inscribed with the phrase "The White Swan Theater". Once they arrived, they found a girl wearing a maid's uniform greeting them at the theater gate, who bowed when seeing Catherine before she led them inside when they reached the inner part of the theater. Catherine turned to the two boys and said, "William take care of your brother and behave in good behavior. I have to prepare to start the play, as there is one hour left until The play started, and I still haven't dressed. "Then Catherine kissed her two sons. Then William looked at her, and said, "Don't worry, mom. We'll wait in the theater and we'll encourage you." Catherine smiled, then turned to leave, and then another maid came to lead the boys to their place on the stage.
