Chapter 1

“.......Your Majesty, please you need to eat.” said the Kings advisor.

The King did not move from his darkened throne, if anything the depressed aura grew.

“Sire, I understand that you may feel like not even moving anymore at this point but, what will the people say?”

The King did not move.

“...... What would your mate say once they finally meet you?”

The kings head twitched at this.

“Do you think they would be happy to see you like this?”

The kings head lifted and stared at the arrangement of food laid on the table before him.

Slowly he started to pick at his food until instinct kicked in and he devoured his meal.

A maid whipped by to clean up the mess. After she cleaned up she stationed herself by the King's advisor.

“Sire, you need to go out and search once more.”

“..............” The King said nothing in remark.

“You are going to die like this.”

“I- have failed in every attempt to find them, what makes this time different?”

“Who knows but fate?” the king's advisor said as he took a step closer.

“But- King Vince, if you stay like this you will never meet them.”

The advisor picked up an apple from the arrangement of food meant to entice the king and took a bite. He walked out the room while throwing the apple in the air and hummed a tune.

Vince looked down at his hands before his face fell in them in defeat.
