The prince’s head shot over to look to the large castle doors behind him as he heard the faint creaking sound of it being opened, the fear from before refilling his entire body as he froze for a few moments in petrified horror, he couldn't let whoever that was see him like this, covered in his mothers blood while holding the sword that beheaded her, while the townspeople who had been practically enslaved by his mother might rejoice at the newfound death, the royal guard would have his head on a pike for killing their precious queen! He broke out of his terrified trance as the light from outside the throne room flooding in, people screaming as they had seen the grim and bloody scene, rushing into the castles doors to see their queen and who had caused the fate in which she had met with, the prince couldn't stay any longer unless he wanted to end up in the same situation his mother was in, so he dropped the large bloody sword in his hand and quickly stood up from his kneeling position, making a run for it towards the smaller doors on the other side of the room as he left bloody footprints behind him, it was inevitable that he’d be chased, lucky for him he was mostly prepared for this, he was still a child and thus he was able to get into small places to duck and dodge the guards chase, diving under a short table as the guards stupidly tried to reach under to grab him, unkowing to them there was a hole in the wall next to the table, leading to one of the more secret bathrooms the queen kept hidden from everyone else so she wouldn't be bothered by them or her royal duties. As he locked the door on the other side of the room just in case anyone found the hole under the table and thought to look for what room it would lead into, he looked over to the bathroom mirror as tears uncontrollably leaked down his cheeks, seeing nothing wrong at first aside from the blood from his mother that had been on him, but soon noticing an odd grayish pink color beginning to coat his once pale colored skin in bubbles as if someone was splashing little bit of paint on him, starting with his forehead.
This is a story of 3 people. the first, tainted by corruption due to the consequences of his past actions, the second over worked and looked down upon by society, and the last struggling to get out of the hands of very bad people.
