Mid-week update! This picks up when Philip led Thomas out of the room. Please excuse grammar if you see anything, I tried my best.
Thomas sighs. Why are they causing commotion now? No one has ever been peaceful in his presence.
He sees that the citizens are squabbling over bread, and he re-enters his building, coming out with another loaf of bread.
The citizens stop as he exits the building, as though expecting to be punished.
He holds up the loaf of bread. He gives it to the nearest person as a way to reduce the noise. The people seem contented. They accept the bread and move back toward their homes.
Thomas re-enters the building, giving orders to his guard to keep watch and direct any issues that may occur while he takes some rest.
He goes to his bed, flopping on it dramatically.
Within a couple of minutes, he is asleep. His subconscious mind reverts back to that same story, the one he tries his hardest to forget in consciousness.
Thomas's father, Peter Jefferson, had married the Queen when Thomas was young. The Queen was the powerful mother of George Washington, Alexander's father. So, Thomas and George were step-siblings.
Peter had grown up poor and suffering, and had finally gotten the magic and power he so desperately desired. Peter had married just for the power and fame and magic, and he wanted Thomas to have the same power.
But Thomas hadn't wanted any of that. He had fallen in love with a servant from the estate named Sally. In fact, they had been so in love that they tried to run away. But Peter caught them, and he killed Sally with magic. He told Thomas that Sally had been killed for his own good. But Thomas knew that wasn't true. He loved Sally, and she had been with child. Thomas had been heartbroken for a very long time. He still was, in fact.
Thomas, without Sally, had obliged his father. He learned magic. He was so powerful, and yet so miserable without love. It probably didn't help that around the same time, Thomas had realized that George was always happy, and that the kingdom loved George and Peter, but not him.
Peter's dying wish had been for Thomas to become king. Thomas had protested, but Peter wouldn't hear it.
Peter poisoned the Queen, and managed to frame George for it. In the face of this "treason" on George's part, Thomas became King. He was still miserable, though, and would never be satisfied.
George, for some reason unknown to Thomas, was pardoned from his "crime" against the Queen, and the citizens took him back as their rightful leader. Then George fobund Martha and together they banished Thomas from the kingdom.
Thomas was so frustrated and bitter about not ever having a happy ending or love that all he wanted was revenge. On the day of Alexander's birth, Thomas found a curse that he thought would give him revenge and make him happy. Yet, Thomas had held out, hoping he'd be able to convince the people to like him without help.
But months later, nothing had gotten better. In one of his moments of immense frustration, he had cast the spell.
Unbeknownst to Thomas, days before the curse was cast, George and Martha had learned of it and Alexander's prophecy.
Years later, even after the curse was cast and everyone was transported to Thomas's miserable world, Thomas was still unhappy. That was when his magic mirror, with the extremely handsome James Madison in it, who Thomas would have been with if weren't for Sally, had told Thomas about a baby boy who had been given up by his parents and was available for adoption.
And that was how Philip had come to live with Thomas. Thomas smiled in his sleep, remembering how beautiful Philip had been as a baby. Thomas truly loved Philip with all his heart. Philip was the solace in Thomas's miserable world, everything revolved around Philip and his eminence. Philip is the culmination of the little love and happiness that Thomas has.
But now, those two men who had come asking about his city were threatening his happiness and his city.
Thomas would do everything in his power to prevent that from happening. The resolve steeled itself in his mind.
Hello wonderful people! Thank you for continuing to read and review, I love to read them! I think some of you do not live in the United States, is something wrong with my analysis? It says most of the readers are from the United States and a few Australians, but I get reviews at the most interesting times, 12:24 AM, 3:59 AM, 4:29 AM, etc. Anyway, the reviewers are each telling me something different about the original show, and I am a little confused. I hope that I can represent the story as properly as possible. I'm glad you like it! Little backstory for Philip and his mother next week! Also, heads up, for those wonderful people who are also reading "The Time of Our Lives", there will not be any update this week, you will just have to suffer the suspense! "Life with the Washingtons" update on Friday, lookout! Also, really sorry, plot advancement is still stalled, I will let you know when the plot will return. Please suggest title edits, I promise I won't switch it up on you guys. (Another long author's note).
