Once Upon a time: prologue

by white seraph

**************************************************

Once upon a time, there lived a girl called Kaoru, she was beautiful, with black glossy hair and large, blue eyes. Her father was the king's advisor and was always away serving the royal highness.

However, don't be mistaken and think Kaoru leads a happy life, in fact everyone in the country lived in fear and terror everyday and why? Because the king was a tyrant, yes, he was very powerful indeed, but very unjust and cruel, and trusted no one, not even his closest advisors.

No, this King was a dangerous figure. Despite his small, girly appearance, this person was by far what he looks. Almost omnipotent with that sword of his, he was able to use his power to win himself the crown. The man did not just excel in fighting. He was intelligent and ruled, wisely. Of course, it was just said he was cruel, which indeed he is, but by wisely, I mean smartly, he knew exactly which ones are the cunning ones, and which ones would betray him. The man showed no mercy, for it was instilled in him through experience that to care and love someone proves a person weak. He would certainly not allow himself to fall to the level of caring, or even loving others. Truth to speak, he didn't care about his people. He only wanted power, and what he wanted, he always got.
