A.N. Hey everyone! I went to Silverwood yesterday, so I didn't update. I am trying to update every Saturday. Well here is chapter 10! Just want to warn you, there will be a character death.

-Arthur's POV-

Why was Francis being like this! Alfred had come up onto the stage again, and was still crying.

"F-Father!" he started. "Stop!"

It didn't help it only made things worse.

Alfred ran over to Francis. "FATHER! STOP!" he took hold of the blade, tears still running down his face.

"Alfred stop at once." Father said with a stern voice.

"NO!"

The blade was removed from Francis' neck. I sighed in relief, but suck in a breath, when the dagger moved to Alfred's neck.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Father roared. "SAY IT AGAIN!"

Alfred was sobbing. "I said. N-No…"

Francis had passed out on the ground, blood still pouring out of his neck.

"Father, please! You can't kill your son too!" I covered my mouth. The kingdom wasn't supposed to know how the Queen's death really happened.

Luckily, Father hadn't heard me. Not so lucky, Alfred's clothes were beginning to stain with blood, and his face was becoming whiter and whiter. The crowd had gone quiet; probably all in shock on what their king was doing to his son. Alfred gave out a final cry, and Father stabbed his throat all the way through the other side. As Alfred fell to the ground, I ran over to him, taking his already cold hand.

"Alfred!" I screamed.

"Now." He coughed. "Francis and you can be together…" his eyes slowly fell shut.

I was shaking. I had gone through this twice now. My father had shot my mother right in front of my eyes, and stabbed my brother too.

"I love you." I whispered into his hair.

After my Father stormed off back to the castle, forgetting about Francis, I untied him and picked up Alfred.

"He killed him?" Francis said, shocked.

"Yes." I replied, too calm. "And my mother."

Francis was silent, but whispered. "My sister fell off of a ship, and drowned… It was awful. We don't ever talk about her anymore. I talk to her when I'm scared. I know it sounds stupid, but it helps sometimes."

"It's not stupid." I looked up at him. "Not stupid at all."

A.N. Yeah stupid ending, I know. Poor Alfie…
