Chapter Thirty-Two

Past

Onogoro Allster Estate

The guards did as their King told them and they dropped off George to his estate. Flay was bored out of her mind when she heard the door opening, she was hoping to speak to her father, but that wasn't about to happen.

She rushed into the room and stopped in horror as they set her father on a chair and were just going to leave him there.

"What did you do to Daddy?" Flay shouted at them.

The guards didn't even bother to look at her as they just kept walking out.

Flay didn't like that very much, "Answer me!" Flay shouted as she quickly approached them.

The guards didn't even bother to look at her; "Just be glad he is alive, the King wasn't ready to show mercy." they told her.

Flay stood still that shocked her a little bit, "Are you saying he did this?"

"That's right," The guards said as they left the house.

Flay watched them leave, she was very concerned about her father, but she also smiled slightly, she somehow felt the desire to go see Kira, and she told herself she just might do that. Not that she was mad, but she just had a desire to see him.

Flay turned her attention back to her father as he was starting to wake up.

Flay yelled at a servant to come and help her father, which they started attending to him.

George looked up and saw Flay, "Flay come here."

Flay bent down to hear her father, "He is a demon in a human body, I think we might have to call this off."

Flay looked at her father angrily, "No we won't daddy; this just makes it seem more right."

George looked confused as the servants were attending to him. "What are you talking about?"

Flay smiled, "I can't say it just feels more right daddy, this will be my best chance to make him love me."

George stared at her, "You didn't see his eyes Flay, it is too dangerous."

Flay looked at him, "I will go see him tomorrow daddy, for some reason I don't think I can stay away."

George looked at her with concern, "I can tell I won't be able to stop you, but do think about this Flay one wrong word could mean your death." George said as he lost consciousness.

Flay smiled, she knew Kira would be hurting as well and if she could use that to her advantage she would be Queen in no time. However that was only one reason, the main reason was that Flay felt like she wanted to be there, but she tried to ignore that. Her mind was set she was going to head to the castle in the morning, she picked out her best dress, and prepared herself most of the night, and she really believed this would work.

Onogoro Castle

The throne room remained quiet after the commotion throughout the night, Kira never left and no on ever came in. He sat on his throne going two days without any sleep. His thoughts drifted to the past, he subconsciously knew that his behavior was not normal. He tried to remember where he went wrong, where his thoughts became clouded. The one person he loved more than life and country itself was no longer there to be his shield, his strength and his only key to sanity. His memories started flying back into his brain more often than he wished.

Flashback

Eleven years ago

Seven year old Prince Kira Hibiki was consent by his father's side in time of peace. He thought the world of his father and wanted to be just like him, he believed he was a just and noble King, until the fateful day after the wars of Scandinavia.

Kira remembered that day well as when his life and all he believed in changed. His father had just returned from the front lines after his victory according the Scandinavia Kingdom. Kira was anxiously awaiting his fathers return with his mother while his twin sister was causing chaos all over the castle. Kira remembers the look in his mothers eyes well that day. She had deep sadness in her eyes, eyes that she never let him see before. She knew all to well they had just slaughtered an entire peaceful nation for land, but she knew her son idolized his father and a part of her didn't want to change that, but she never wanted him to become that.

Kira became excited as he saw his father and his royal guard enter the castle, but what was strange were all these people with them unable to move, they were the new slaves.

Kira only believed that they must have been the bad men that his father told him were trying to take over the lands. Kira rushed out of his mothers grasp to meet his father at the castle entrance. His mother's heart dropped, she knew Kira had a gentle heart and when the realization of what his father truly was would kill him. She just didn't know it would come on that fateful night.

King Ulen got off his horse and walked up to the castle gates, as he saw his son looking at him.

Ulen smiled and greeted him like any ordinary father would,"

"Father, are all the bad men gone?" Kira asked.

Ulen smiled, "That is right my son, they will bother us no more."

Kira smiled as his father put him down, "Who are all these people, bad guys?"

Ulen hesitated, "That is correct son, they have to be shown there correct place in the world."

Kira looked at there faces and saw what looked like fear, but he shrugged it off.

"Listen son, I think you are old enough to learn how to rule when I'm gone," Ulen told him.

Kira smiled, he wanted to learn anything that his father taught him.

"I will show you something to do with these misfit creatures the slaves he meantwhen you need to show power, or if you just feel like it, now get prepared for our victory celebration later." Ulen told him sternly.

Kira agreed and ran back into the castle.

"Young master where are you going?" Merna called out to him.

Kira smiled and explained everything to her, after he did that he ran off leaving Merna standing there with a horrific look on her face.

Merna knew what Ulen was planning and immediately ran off to inform Via.

Merna quickly found her and explained everything to her, Via's face had the same reaction and she quickly went to find her husband, she just knew she had to stop this.

Via found him in the throne room, "How can you do this he is still just a child?" she shouted at him.

Ulen glared at her, "It is time he learns how to rule properly, I can't have a weak heir succeeding me." Ulen told her.

Via sadly stared at him, "He has a gentle heart and adores you, this will crush him." she shouted at him.

Ulen smiled, "gentleness he has but my enemies will take that as weakness, he has a tremendous amount of strength in him, and I will bring it out, he will be worthy enough to succeed me."

"Lying to him wasn't enough? I am begging you not to make him do this." Via told him.

Ulen just walked away, "If you don't like it than don't watch, go do something constructive and stay out of my affairs, and how I prepare my son for his future succession." he told her as he walked out of the room leaving her there in tears.

Unknown to them Prince Kira had witnessed every word of there conversation, he was confused as he was hiding behind a statue in the throne room. He thought about that for a second but shrugged it off as something that he never saw before.

The celebration came later that night and things looked to be getting back to normal. Ulen then decided it was time to show his son what he was talking about. Ulen called Kira next to him like he always did. Ulen then nodded to the guards who brought in one of the captured men from the victory they attained, the guards instantly threw the man to the ground and he looked up at Ulen.

"Who is this father, one of the bad guys?" Kira asked.

Ulen smiled, "That is right son, but we call them slaves."

Kira looked confused, all the people around the kingdom just liked doing there jobs is what he believed.

Ulen saw Kira confused and started explaining a slave's role to him. Kira believed his father in everything he told him, but something didn't seem right.

Ulen stared at him, "You see son these slaves must be punished."

Kira started at him, "Did he do something bad?"

Ulen chuckled a bit, "No son this is how the world is, we were born different from these animals here." Ulen said as he pointed at the man.

Kira looked at the man, his father called him an animal but he really didn't look any different from the others.

"People like this were only born to do our bidding son, and when they refuse to do what we say this is what happens to them." Ulen told him.

Kira looked confused he saw these people everyday, but he thought they wanted to do what they were forced to do everyday.

Ulen walked down throwing off his long cloak and called the guard for something. It was a strip of leather. Kira really didn't know what was going on and was horrified at the sight when his father started hit the man with out stopping.

Kira didn't understand what was happening this man didn't do anything wrong but he had to be punished anyway. Kira watched in horror as his father stopped. His father than motioned him to join him, which Kira reluctantly did.

His father than handed it to him, and told him to do it as well. At first he didn't really understand what he meant.

Ulen grew a little impatient as Kira didn't take it right away.

Kira seemed to notice this and took the thing from his father's hand. Kira stared at the man as he had a horrid look in his face, Kira looked at his father again as he had a very different look in his eyes as he was supposed to enjoy this. Kira looked around and all the nobles were cheering him on to do it. Kira kept looking at the man his father and the crowd. All with different expressions on there faces. Kira looked one last time at his father and started doing what his father did. The people roared as he did it, after a few minutes Ulen said that was enough and took his sword out and stabbed the man in his chest.

After it was all over Kira returned to his seat as his hands were shaking, the crowd loved what he did but the shock of what he did tormented him. After the party was all over his father approached him and the words he told him changed everything he believed in.

"Do not waste time on those creatures son; our horses have better value than they do. They were meant to serve us and are our entertainment, they are not worth a thought so let it go." Ulen told him as he left.

From that day forward whenever Kira entered a battle he could mostly control himself, but sometimes he would remember those words.

Kira told himself right there even though he was still a child he would change things in this country, even if it threatened his position as King, his country would change, he would create a peaceful world one where people could live as equals, being equally treated.

End Flashback

The shock and torment he had that day, the whole world he believed in changed and know he was heading down the same path of his father.

His eyes were now just as dark, probably darker he sat on his throne as the night turned to day. His subconscious was battling with this torment and his vow all those years ago.

Kira turned his thoughts to the only comfort he could find and that was Lacus. Kira remembered everything about her, every shape the exact color of her eyes, the softness of her skin, the scent of her hair, and the warmth of her body next to his it was all he had to keep from losing himself, and his eyes even started returning to normal.

However they immediately went dark again when he heard a knock at the door.

"Your Majesty someone to see you sir," A guard hesitantly told him.

The person instantly walked into the throne room smiling at him seductively.

Kira looked at the door and his anger returned full spring as he saw who it was.

Onogoro City

During all the chaos of the castle a figure finally arrived at the gates of Onogoro.

Luna smiled and instantly walked into the city.
