Semua Bab Diamond Crown: Bab 21 - Bab 30

My nerves were slightly compressed due to the tension imposed in those days, it is possible to say that not everyone carries the same principles even if they are created by monsters, even if it is possible to be an angel of light; not that Nathan Crowther was such a being, in fact he is very far away, however I had been mistaken in thinking that his roots were rotten just because he was royalty. That's right! Ayla Marin had been wrong! But who in this hostile world doesn't make mistakes with people? I learned from a very early age that I shouldn't trust anyone but my family, I went through crushing moments where superior beings completely destroyed me, yet I'm still here walking in the middle of the hallway with my head throbbing due to a heavy conscience for so many things I had said to the prince; it's been exactly three weeks, I had presented my challenge that obviously had been refused! Celine won this round with that damn idea of ​​reducing resources by selling to the poor, Natha

My strength is in solitude. I'm not afraid of stormy rains or the great loose winds, because I too am the dark of the night. I walk slowly with my thoughts dissolved in the last events, my desire to change the reality in which I live runs in my being, however, until very recently we could change the world. Who stole our courage? Everything is pain. And all pain comes from the desire not to feel pain. Many have said that if we want to change our world, we must start by changing ourselves. It sounds so simple, but... it seems so hard to do! We are always looking for the happiness that people can offer us, and we forget that we need to offer happiness too. Incidentally, we should offer more than receive, because that's how things really transform. And I know it's hard to offer without desiring rewards, I know it's horrible when we're victims of ingratitude, but we need to stand firm in the purpose of changing our reality. No, we cannot give up at the first disenchantment, at the first di

I remember always watching the crowd like a wolf watching a flock of sheep. Looking for the weak, the slow, the fools. Only now I look more like prey. I can be revealed and caught in the blink of an eye; or even worse, I could be sent to the gallows and end up dead. Everyone has an advantage over a mere and lowly servant. So I have to be faster than ever, smarter than ever and luckier than ever. It's maddening. Fortunately, no one pays attention to yet another servant, another insect scurrying around at the feet of the rich and strong. I enter the square. I feel my arms hang limply at my sides, even though they're ready for anyone who wants to stop me. That's usually my game: walking through the most congested parts of the crowd where I'm not seen or recognized by anyone. Instead, I follow the crowd around the square. My vision is no longer clouded by the fantastic scenery around me. I see beyond him: the crevices between the rocks and the security agents in white uniforms behind ever

It started. My mind goes back to the past, to the Great Garden, to those beautiful and cruel creatures that call themselves human. All vain and empty, with hard eyes and even worse character. The nobles of the big sectors can even be worse. I remember how everyone exuded luxury in every item they used, clothes, houses, cars, food, everything exuded money stolen from the people. I remember stepping in in blocks, a multitude of colors spilling into the spiral garden with cool elegance. It's easy to notice the families that were the most powerful all wear flashy adornments around their necks. It was easy for a child to feel ecstatic as I envisioned those powerful men in their places, exuding strength and power. What's the use anyway? More and more of them joined the crowd. Some stopped to chat, others exchanged lifeless hugs. I realized that for them it was just a party. Most probably had little hope of being seen by the King, so this was just a diversion, something I didn't understand.

I wouldn't say things could get worse if I weren't in the current situation I find myself in right now. The voice ringing in my ears is so piercing I'm afraid it will crack my skull. I drop to my knees, and feel a concrete floor and steel bars rise up around me. A cell. I scramble to my feet, my hand on my aching head. The vision gradually returns to focus. A person looks at me from the outside. A crown shines on her head. _____________ I would bow down, but I could fall - I say to the king, to immediately regret it. He's a superior, I can't talk to him like that. The king could put me in the stocks, deny me food, punish me, punish my family. No, I realize with horror growing. He is the king. He might just kill me. He can kill us all. But he doesn't seem offended. On the contrary, sketches even a smile. I feel nauseated when we lock eyes and I drop to my knees again. _____________ This bow is already good - he says, enjoying my pain. Fighting the urge to vomit, I reach for the bars a
