PROLOGUE.

"Weeping is the simple act of shedding tears. It is to mourn or grieve for something or somebody. It is to lament for something or somebody you have lost.

You can weep for many reasons; you can shed tears of joy, anger, pain or impotence.

In Alexander's case, it was very rare or special the occasions when he let very few people see that kind of weakness. However, in his case, they were all connected to the same feeling, loss, especially by death.

As you can see, I am a very old woman now but I still remember vividly, as if it were yesterday, five times my king wept and once he didn't and I am here today, to retell, once again, that story to you, as I am the storyteller of this family" LadyLight said, looking especially at the three little faces who were eagerly waiting for her story.

Those faces belonged to King Alexander's great-grandchildren, all boys with sky-blue eyes, like his other great-grandfather.

Grandchildren and children of the royal couple were also there, ready to listen to that story again; they had lost count of how many times they had listened to it but as LadyLight got older, she remembered and added more and more details.

Phainder, the eldest of all, sensed that that might be the last time she retold that story, she was in her late nineties and her health was too delicate. However, it was always a pleasure to listen to her and he would go on enjoying that as long as he could.
