Prologue
Alec readjusted his grip on his two-handed longsword as he waited for his opponent, his best friend, to make a move. A deafening silence reigned around the large square as the public watched the two fighters whose eyes are following each other's weapon walk slowly as they wait for the right moment to attack.Keith slid forward and cut at his left arm; however, Alec was quick to trap his blade on his guard and stab his chest. The crowd cheered for him, but it did not last long as the adversary charged in to clash their swords and disarm his friend. "You seem to forget who you're fighting against," smirked Keith as he stabbed him one last time before claiming victory. "You're dead— again."

Chapter I
Alec moved closer to the stranger to take a better look at his face. He tilted his head and frowned as he was confused about their resemblance. "You look so much like him. Who are you?" he asked. The scarred-faced man didn't say a word nor moved or flinched. He stared at Alec with cold eyes as he studied his face. His fists clenched when the swordsman suddenly took off his hat. Alec widened his eyes when he saw the stranger's blond hair. Now he was sure it wasn't his friend playing a joke on him.He pressed his lips nervously and put the hat back on the man's head. Then he was about to touch his face when the stranger grabbed his arm strongly and pulled him closer to mutter, "Don't ever touch me."  Alec felt s

Chapter II
Keith knocked on the door furiously. He has been waiting for his friend to show up in the village for a long time.Carolyn opened the door and smiled widely when she saw him standing outside. "Keith! What brings you here?""Is your brother here?" The girl raised an eyebrow, "Weren't you supposed to be together? He left this morning to meet you." Keith frowned, "I have been waiting for him for the entire morning. He was nowhere to be seen. Are you sure he did not come back home?" Carolyn shook her head. Keith pressed his lips nervously and took a deep breath. His best friend was not one to disappear suddenly without telling him about it. Something must be going on and

Chapter III
Alec was lifting his hundredth brick while his arms killed him with the pain. His skin was still bleeding, and some scars already showed on his arms and legs from the torture. It was painful, but doing hard labour silently was his way of revolt. Alec wanted to show the Mad King that he was not going to talk no matter how much he hurt him. Keith was the most important person to him after his family, and he would never betray their friendship. Carl pushed him strongly to quicken his steps, and the prisoner was about to lose his balance, but thankfully he had a quick reflex. Alec mumbled a curse and threw the brick with the rest. They were constructing a private garden for the queen, and they forced him to work in order to speed up the construction. The sun was burning like a flame, and Alec started to feel weak. He only had a

Chapter IV
Alec arrived at the castle as an enemy, a prisoner unfortunate to have broken the law and disrespected his king. Now, he was a strong young man who has won the battle against the best soldier in the kingdom and a man who was still disrespecting his king no matter what. He stood in the middle of the arena as the crowd cheered for him. The guard's body was pulled and left trails of crimson red liquid on the sandy ground. Alec did not take off his eyes from the king. Not only because of his resemblance with Keith but also because he wanted to show him that he was wrong. The Mad King believed his guard would end Alec's life, and the opposite happened. The king soon left the arena. He did not dare look at the young man again as he was still surprised he won the battle. He was convinced of his guard's strength, that Alec would be the one to fall on the sand. Alec watched him leave cowardly with a smirk. He was still dizzy, and his heart threatened to rip right out

Chapter V
"Your brother is in grave danger."   Keith was sitting at the table while Carolyn was preparing some tea. The young man made sure to keep his voice low as the little boy was sleeping.   It was late at night, and Keith could not keep his worries to himself. Another person close to Alec was his younger sister, and she needed to know that something was wrong.   "What's going on? Why do you say that?" asked Carolyn with a shaky voice. "Did he do something wrong?"   Keith pressed his lips nervously and waited for her to take a seat.   "He, uh, used to run errands for some bad people." replied the swordsman. He could not tell her about the murde

Chapter VI
Four men were on their knees under the scorching heat of summer. Their hands were tied with a rough rope, and their hairs were dishevelled and covered in blood. One of them was praying in silence while the rest were begging for mercy. But their sobs and shouts were just a melody, a background to enjoy during the afternoon for the Mad King.   Kenneth was sitting on a chair as he watched his prisoners plead for their life. He smirked and sipped on his wine as he enjoyed the power he was feeling at that moment.   Alec, who was standing behind him, shook his head and took a deep breath to appease his anger. He hated how the king was abusing his privilege to treat people worse than animals.   It was like a routine for him, a daily tradition to execute men or women and

Chapter VII
Keith spent days and nights following the royal guards and hoping he would find the reason why they were looking for Alec but he found none. They would spend their entire days searching and in the end, they would go back to the palace and leave a confused Keith to wonder where his best friend was. Today, Carolyn insisted on accompanying him to a nearby village to keep looking for her brother. Alec has disappeared for weeks now and the young woman was anxious about it. Her little brother was asking for Alec every night and even their drunken father was sad because of his sudden disappearance. Alec was not only a food provider but also sunlight in their small house. He was the one who helped his sister and little brother grow up, changed their clothes every morning and fed them before he went out to win some coins. Carolyn was sad because Alec was also her best friend and her confidant when she needed to talk about something. She needed him back and that was wh

Chapter VIII
Kenneth woke up earlier today and left his chambers before his servants come in to get him prepared. He was still wearing his silk night robe and walked barefoot in the palace hallways. The maids and valets lowered their heads when he passed by them and started whispering. The atmosphere was dull lately because the queen and the prime minister were angry because the nuptial duty has not been fulfilled no matter how many nights they have tried.The king made it very clear that he did not love his wife, nor he was physically attracted to her. Gwendolyn tried many ways to seduce him such as wearing her most beautiful dresses and trying different hairstyles and fragrances. But none of her efforts impressed Kenneth.Whispers spread around the palace that the queen was not beautiful enough to make the king fall in love with her. Her father was the talk among the ministers as they looked
