.:Chapter 1, The Day He Arrived:.
On this beautiful day in the Kingdom of Lima, everything was calm and at peace. There was no war going on and no signs of street rats in the market today. Everything was just so… relaxed.
That is, until new servants arrived.
The Grand Gates of Lima open to a servant trailer that has loads of people just crammed together like they were animals. People that had no more money left got sent away to Camp of Kadeem, where they were 'trained' or tortured to become what you see in these cages. Broken, unloved, sad people. Some pitied them while others think that's what they deserve, not taking care of their families and being forced to live on the streets.
Now was the time were they were sent to homes all around the richer side of the Kingdom of Lima to do what they have been trained to do. Obey without any question, which was the camp's motto.
Somewhere far from this horrible scene was a castle, the Hummel's estate where the King and his son lived. Said son was in his room, looking out to the world through his window, leaning on the edge just thinking on what it must be like to live like most people do. Being far away from a dozen servants buzzing around you tending to your every desire. He just wished he could be outside of these walls which confined him and be freer like he has dreamed his whole life.
A dream… and that's what it always will be.
All of a sudden he heard his door open. Prince Kurt turned around to face a young girl, who was a servant and she was sent from the King to call him down to the Study. They had new servants.
Great, that's all we need, more servants to invade my personal area Prince Kurt thought roughly. He smiled at the young girl and quickly passed her to go a find his father in the Study.
"Father, I hear new servants had just arrived?" Prince Kurt said as he walked into the large room. King Burt looked up from his paper work and smiled at his only child.
"Yes, come with me so we can greet them and set them with the castle rules." The king then got up from his chair and led Kurt to the Great Hall where the servants were seen, they had formed a straight line.
Most of them were in tattered clothing, wild hair, and the stench radiating from them was noticeable. But here in the castle, they were lucky enough to be treated like human beings and aloud to bathe and offered new clothes.
King Burt never wanted to taint Kurt with the reality of the life of a servant; he just wanted him to be safe from all the hatred in the world. While Kurt feels like he is being set in a suffocating bubble and he just wants to break free.
There was one servant that caught Prince Kurt's eye. He had dark curly hair that was pointed at several directions, brown muddy clothes, but his eyes are what really got Kurt's attention. They looked so brown or green… maybe hazel? That fascinated him. He saw that the servant looked up at Kurt and gave a polite, small smile. Kurt returned the smile.
"Welcome to the Royal Castle. Now, we shall go over the protocols…" Prince Kurt zoned out as his father went over the rules of the castle. Once he was finished the servants were sent to where ever their living quarters were.
"Am I dismissed father?" Prince Kurt asked. The king simply nodded.
"Don't forget that Lord Hiram is coming tomorrow with his daughter." King Burt reminded.
"…Yes Father." Kurt then went to his room.
Lord Hiram Berry and Kurt's father have been setting up Rachel Berry and Kurt together for a while. The Berrys live in a different Kingdom not too far from here. Kurt loved Rachel; he really did, only in a more brother-sister fashion. You see, Kurt never really fancied girls like normal men should. His eyes are always glued to the boys that come and go from the palace. So yes, Prince Kurt Elizabeth Hummel liked boys. The sad thing is he could never tell anyone about this, since it was looked down apon. He had too much pride in his family name, much like his father, to tarnish it with the family name with his biggest secret.
Kurt sat by the window again, looking down on all the people that lived all around him. He has never had a chance to wander around the kingdom for himself. He got lost in his thoughts before he heard a knock on his door. Prince Kurt turned around and said a loud 'Yes' so it could be heard through the door. Said door opened to the boy Kurt had noticed earlier only… cleaner. He had a white baggy shirt with a red vest, tan shorts, and brown sandals all the servants wore.
"Dinner is ready." He said softly. Kurt nodded and said a quite 'Thanks' as he passed him and went to the dining room for dinner.
