Chapter 3

Alex raced home that evening. He had met Alana a beautiful girl and was facinated by her. Although he still carried hatred for his Mothers death and he could feel the tension between them.

" Where have you been Alexander " cried his Father Albrecht Deacon.

" Out Father. I went down by the woods to the lake".

" I told you boy never to go near that lake. Your Mother died there , do you want the same to happen to you and looks to me like you were in the bloody thing rather than near it".

" But Father , it's wonderful down by the lake. It's so beautiful".

" Why are you wet "

" I was swimming Father."

" Alone?"

" No Father , I met a girl there".

" A future wife Son. Am I detecting a glance at the future".

" Definatly not " muttered Alex. I cant stand the girl he thought. He felt weird , every time he thought of her , his insides warmed and he felt dizzy". " Her names Alana Father. Alana Durer".

" Durer " boomed the king. King Durers daughter what the hell do you think you are doing with that girl. Do you know who her Father is".

" I do Sir and I wasn't doing anything with her. We met accidently. Father did you see her King Durer drown Mother".

" Dont you question me boy. I know what I saw. Her head slipped under the water and the only person who was present was him. Her body was never found Alexander. He went back and moved it".

" You are banned from seeing this girl. If I do see her with you. Both her and you will pay dearly and you can count on that".

" Father I am not a child. I am seventeen years old. You cant tell me , who I can and cannot see".

" I am warning you Alexander".

Alex scowled. " Do as you please Father" and he walked out.

" Master Alex , your highness please wait up". Lady Morgan the kings advisor ran up the hall. Alex peered down at her as he was much taller.

" Yes my Lady".

" Alex you must reconsile with your Father. He wants the best for you. You are a smart boy. Say what needs to be said and he'll forgive you".

" My Lady. If I say what needs to be said. I will be jailed for my insolence. So if it's an appology you are looking for , count me out".

" Alex , those Durer's they ...your Mother..."

" I know what happened Lady Morgan. But no one can answer the questions I ask. Why does an arguement between my Father and his once best friend have to destroy my life. Now come on , why dont you answer that".
