A king spoke bitter words. " I don't care how long it takes, I want that woman captured and put to death for her crimes against the royal bloodline.”

"Understood...King Mitus", the male guard walked out.

A few minutes passed until a man wearing a black and red robe entered the throne room. His dark brown hair was pulled into a ponytail.

"Your Majesty, the arrangements for the young prince's funeral have been set. The villagers have gathered near the Great Purple Spawn and are awaiting your arrival", announced the man.

"I'll be there shortly Pastor Aku", said King Mitus. The Pastor bowed and made his leave.

The king turned to his family portrait that hung on the palace wall. He was on the right, his wife on the left and their baby in the middle.

"My boy...you weren't suppose to die before your mother and I...you were born to do great things...a natural leader. I use to get mad at how you were always so kind and understanding to people...even the peasants. But, you also had a strong and healthy will to rule over our kingdom when you come of age...my son, Prince Antaruri", the King whispered.

King Mitus began to get enraged. "This act will not go unpunished!  No matter, how far you travel through time, Dark Swan....my shapeshifters will find you and take your life. I swear a Royal oath, you shall pay!"
