Capítulo 13: Chapter 13 Royal Homicide.
"You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." - Barbara De Angelis.
"When the Prince returns to his senses, do not mention this to anyone. Do nut treat him like a fragile egg, Please try your best to act like nothing occurred." Elias said addressing the palace staff.t
"Archduke Elias,The Prince is awake and he has requested... I get his horse ready." One of the servants from the Prince's wing said in a worried tone. He didn't want to take any orders that would lead into the future King hurting himself.
"Don't let him out of his quarters." Elias instructed. "As of now, he will have his lunch and dinner there-" The servants nodded. "You're dismissed."
"Elias, what's wrong with Prince Alexius ?" Princess Amelia said out of the blue as the servants scurried off. She looked scared stiff.
"Nothing to worry about, the Prince is perfectly fine." Elias assured her with a mile.
"Does he do that very often ?" She questioned clearly concerned for her safety.
"Not necessarily." He added.
"I can't marry Prince Alexius, if he is a violent psychopath." She said softly. Elias had to do something this alliance was a great opportunity for the city of Acamas.
"Where did you get that idea ?" He chuckled nervously. "The Prince is well, I have known him all my life so I can testify to that." A thought that had been hanging on his head for a long time- what if something happened to the King and the Prince was ruled unstable and taken to the mental institution... who would be king ? he smirked at the thought.
"You are very beautiful, you know." Elias said making Princess Amelia blush. If Princess Amelia fell in love with him instead of the Prince, the alliance would be off. The King would be disappointed, he would still have an upper hand because he would bring back the alliance and then as always the King would be proud of him much prouder than his own son. Ever since they were kids, King Dysmas Nikoloudis treated his sisters son Elias like his own. He was rather distant with Alexius. He saw a resemblance of his sisters somber gray eyes and Auburn hair, he saw it in Elias. His sister had been in an accident which led to her being placed in a wheelchair. She wasn't happy, she hated every minute of it... that is until she committed suicide leaving Elias all alone and an orphan considering his father had been killed at war prior.
In any case, Elias shrived to be better at everything than Alexius. The person whom he really wanted was Lucia, the girl who really caught his attention. He had been watching her for a while, every time she went to swim, ever ytime- Prince Alexius asked why he was always at the river, he couldn't lie so he told her about a girl. His hope was that he would like Kyra instead of Lucia. Kyra had always been the type of girls the Prince had around. He didn't think he would thirst for his Lucia. His heart broke entirely the day he saw them at the river but in any way, his heart broke when he heard about the pregnancy, it broke into much smaller pieces when he heard she was married and had to pretend it didn't phase him.
He didn't want Kyra.
At first he wanted her to get closer to Lucia. The first time he met Lucia and shook her hand. His heart still skipped a beat. How could he love her even after she was carrying his cousins child. He had always wanted everything that Prince Alexius had but this wasn't the case, he had seen Lucia first but the Prince happened to approach her first.
that was his only regret, not approaching her.
Which made him remember the tragic day when Alexius had his first panic attack.
"Father, why did Aunty kill herself ? did she not care about cousin Elias ?" thirteen year old Prince Alexius asked at the dinner table resulting in silence.
"Of course she did." The King said hurt by his sons words, he thought his sister was selfish for leaving his three year old son as an orphan when she knew that he had an infant to take care of without a mother.
"I think she didn't." Prince Alexius said zealously.
"I'm happy with what my mom did, if it was for the best then great. It's quite sad for you that you killed your mother and didn't even give her a chance to take her last breath, that's how much attention you seek... you are a parasite always sucking off people's good for your own-"
"SILENCE." The King said slamming the mahogany table.
"Father is this true?" Prince Alexius asked. "Did I kill my own mother?" He gasped. He immediately stood up walking as fast as he can, until he reached the stairs and he was out of his breath. The King and Elias followed him a few minutes later. The King thought it would be okay to let him cool down first not knowing, the Prince was on the floor struggling for his breath.
Elias had passed by and seen him looking for his asthma inhaler. He threw it out the window then continued to pretend as if he intended to help.
"Are you okay cousin?" He asked smugly. The Prince tried to speak but he couldn't say a word, he was breathing heavily.
"My in-in-" The Prince stuttered on the floor.
"Your inhaler? let me run to your room and get it." He said giving him a pat on the head. He knew it would take approximately fifteen minutes to get to the other side of the palace, he didn't even intend to go in fact. He was going to let him die there...
A servant found the Prince later on passed out, immediately calling for help.
Elias cursed that day.
