《The Black Sheep Prince(complete)》Chapter 63: Worst job in the world
Advertisement
Note: I have been writing some chapters of the next work and it coming out nicely, but I am stuck with the name
Which sounds better, "I don't wanna be a hero!" or "I wanna be a villain!" ???
Or if someone has a better name I will take it
----------------------------------------------------------
60 days after the explosions - ????
After reading the letter, Sebastian took him to a carriage, and after a few hours, he arrived at a private villa
In any other circumstance, he would be afraid this was a kidnapping or something like that
But precisely because of the timing, he knew it was legitimate, and instead he wished this was a kidnapping
Meeting those two monsters was never a pleasant situation
But there was no escape for poor little prince
If he tried to run away, he would appear here again but only bound instead
If it was her, the prince didn't doubt how easily she could track him down and bring him back to this villa
And "her" was the queen of course
With the king by her side for sure
The prince had suspected for a while now that the two of them were alive and enjoying a nice little vacation whole he put his life on the line, and the future of the kingdom
He didn't know why they were hiding, but he was sure he would find out soon enough
Even if he like it or don't
And he doubted he would like the answer
Anyway, he decided to step out of the carriage, keep praying to the gods to be merciful, even though he was sure they wouldn't. He may be even more scared if they were merciful actually because he was sure they would put him in an even worst situation just for fun
So he followed the "wonderful" Sebastian inside the villa, and to the backyard where he found both parents hugging each others on the same chair
You could even see they were in their own world, enjoying each others company

Meanwhile, the prince was stuck watching those two love birds, and feeling more and more uncomfortable each second it passed
Until he couldn't hold it anymore, and decided to cough until they took notice of him
And the idea was met with relative success
They took notice of his presence, but instead of been embarrassed by been in each other's embrace, they acted like it was the most normal thing in the world, and it probably was for those two
"Son, how are you"(King)cheerfully greeted his son
"Hi dad, hi mom. Looks like you are enjoying each others company"(prince) said with a little sarcasm
"Well, yes of course. It's not every day we can be alone together without having to worry about appearances. I hope you don't expect we kept appearances even in front of our own family, right?"(king) shrugged while acting as if his embrace with the love of his life was the most reasonable thing in the world
"Ok ok, to each his own. So anyway, now that you are back, you can take the throne back, right?"(prince) hoped, really really hoped
But part of him felt something was wrong
Something was really really wrong
And idea was developing at the back of his head
But the idea was compleat insanity. It was like a joke or a perverted wish granted by a devil
And definitely something he definitely didn't want, no matter what it was offer
Besides, the mere idea of it was compleat insanity. He was sure it was just his paranoia developed after sh-tty situation after sh-tty situation
"About that.... we aren't coming back"(king) said
And prince started to panic, but he was still in denial. His worst fear were coming true little by little, but he couldn't give up yet
"Why not!? you are young and perfectly fit to rule the Empire for 30 years more at least!"(prince) tried to hold to hope as much as he could
"We are tired, we have been busy rebuilding the kingdom for the last 30 years. Our sudden "death" is an opportunity that won't present itself again and there is no better way to escape royal duties than death, you should know this"(king)

"But the kingdom needs you! we just escaped a big war, and everyone is scared by everything that happened. You can't get away from your responsibilities!"(prince) argued
He didn't really care much about all that, he just didn't want to be stuck with the responsibilities
"Sorry son. We won't go back, and you know you can't make us"(king)
And prince knew he couldn't make them. He wouldn't even dare to try, and not only because they were his parent, or really really scary, but because those two had more ways to stop him from even trying than he could even imagine
So his only hope was his original plan, stuck the job to Jorge
He liked Jorge, since he was a really cool bro, but he liked his freedom way more
As for Paul and Rebecca, one was missing, and the other was even scarier than his parents
"Fine, then I guess we will leave the Empire to Jorge"(prince) said, hoping this would work
He knew it should work in his mind. He wasTHE perfect choice. Everyone love him, he was the oldest male heir "alive", was incredibly talented, and incredibly capable
Not choosing him was insanity and stupidity in itself
He was sure they would agree, right?
Why was he thinking the conversation was going the other way?
But part of him feared the worst
Since the moment he heard his parents were calling him, he feared something he didn't even dare it to put it into words
Wait, no. Since the servant Sebastian called him, he feared it coming
It was like a small voice on the back of his head, screaming at him, even though he was trying his best to shut it up with every excuse he could come up with
Maybe when he was younger, he would be incredibly happy with even the opportunity or a remote chance to archive it
But it had been years since he changed his mind
Besides his hell experience this past few days, the moment he gave up, he chose to enjoy life, and to this day he never regretted his decision
Instead of spending hours and hours in stuff he didn't enjoy, it was way better to enjoy life however you liked, and now that he had a stupid amount of money to do it, everything was perfect
Why would he want it ruined for something as stupid as that
But the prince was afraid
Even though it should be impossible
Even though there were better choices than him
Even though it was something he didn't want, no matter what
Even though most would consider a dream come true, he knew it was a nightmare
Even though no one should support him for it, or want him there, or hope he would get that place
Even though it looked like all the forces in the world were against it the moment he was born into the world
Even though he was completely afraid to even said the word, because no matter how insane it sounded, he was afraid that the mere mention of the world would cause it to come true
But he saw it in his father face. He even saw it in his matter face, even though he hasn't changed her expression in all this time he was here
He could see it in their eyes like they were pity him for what they were about to say
And he knew why, all three knew why. That's why he tried so hard to stick it to someone else, and that is why they refused to admit they were alive
It was something horrible that only looked nice on the outside, but anyone that took even a taste of it would never want to try it again
The prince could feel the blood draining from his face, he knew it was coming. he didn't understand why, but he knew it was coming
"please, don't say it, please!"(prince)begged for mercy
"Sorry son. You will be the next king"(former king)said with pity in his eyes
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"(prince)

The second book will feature other people and how the changes implemented by Mir affect their lives. For those interested in my first book, it's easy to find it. Just beware that with the first book, it was my first time writing and there are a lot of grammar errors despite lots of editing, at least at the beginning of the book. The cover was done by Lmarief. I had requested something bizarre and she delivered. I have even used it as part of the story since her interpretation of my imagination was a bit different. Still, I loved it. As a thank you gift, I posted a link to her profile here for others who want a unique cover. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/220043
