I don't own Timecrest. I'll write to Sneaky Crab
. another soul dedicated trap chapter sorry this is another chapter dedicated to soul I know not because I like him or anything but I think it makes it interesting to have multiple chapters based around different people. Also, it's been a while a few chapters since I had a soul-dedicated chapter also to see how he does as a prince of Volder, and how he becomes a prince is interesting so there'll be a lot going on in this chapter. from where first became a prince and got his tattoo to the point where he is now and Riley's birth I know there's a lot in this story, but I think that'll be great. I hope you enjoy it.
don't you don't think that I love Soul or anything like that it just makes things interesting and it would make sense later on for Soul's character in this story. All right we'll get back to our main favorite too soon enough.
souls POV
My first day in Volder Mom I'm been here for a little over more than a few years, but in that time I got my Valdora tattoo, and now I am part of the Vald Orion family king Janice is now, my father, I no longer tied to that awful father of mine, and my sister, who betrayed me for someone else a new family but I'll get her back. She regrets the day she left me behind and I will get her to live with me here and be my queen.
they told me that the tattoo altered my skin and DNA i'm a Vald Orion now I'll get the bloodline where I can live a long life, which is good for me but bad news from my enemies.
Jen told me now that I've been here for several years his plan against humans is what he wants to do with them and their destruction.
because his enemies are humans don't worry my enemy is also human, so how are we gonna get back at them? I asked him.
I haven't thought of anything yet he said, but when I do, I'll let you know, then please do because I'd like to know I don't hold any back.
don't worry send so I will tell you, Gina said when the time gets right when the time is right, I will take care of it and I'll let you be involved. I'll let you be involved just as much as any of my fault Orians not that your family.
what else do you need to talk to me about father seems like you have something else you want to tell me so you can tell me.
I know he could tell me anything, because being a prince, I had everything I wanted I was spoiled. I ordered around all the servants.
And all the guards, even the high commander weren't resent from me I didn't like him much he was always whining about something. I would boss him around and tell him to get me things.
Even the queen or the two women that my father was with one unnamed, and the other one, the queen were pregnant with their children I was upset that my father was having children I mean, I know he had an older son named Jacko from a previous marriage along time ago but now he's pregnant. He got two more women pregnant, I do not like this. They're competing to the throne. If I can't have to be king, then there's no point.
Well, I'll make my new sibling's lies miserable like a living nightmare they will regret it, that they've messed with me their brother, not even regret they even had a brother like me. I am the second oldest, but then the oldest be inherit the throne they have no chance against me.
I can get what I want and do what I want, and now that I am a prince, I can get what I want, and do what I want with my life. It's much better being a Princeton, trying to become a master of the council now I could become ruler of the kingdom of Volter and Valencia.
I have so many plans for this world so many plans for this kingdom. I don't want it spoiled by two more children into the mix.
But I couldn't control them being born the first one that was born was a girl well, after the thought, another little sister that I could control or maybe I could despise her, the new princess was nothing that I was expecting her to be and she was a whiny little thing because she was still just a baby, but not too long after that, the other one was born as well and she almost killed a couple of guards I might like her maybe not in a romantic way, but as in getting along with her, but she was so powerful she was deemed a monster, and when she was soon enough, they locked her away.
damn, almost forgot that she wasn't even a baby or a child calling her a monster because of it I didn't mind really because she wasn't much competition to me. They called her Annelise and the other little girl who was born first was named Riley.
Riley had fair skin blue eyes and brown hair. I guess she was kind of pretty I guess but she wasn't my Scarlet.
was pretty Scarlet. It was annoying. Having babies around one was locked away, but Riley well they kept her in the palace, which I have no idea why I was asked why you have to have another baby around the king and the queen looked at me don't question Queen Olivia said, you're just an adopted child I'm not even your mother I will order you around like you are I said one of the rules you shall not do ping Janice said you don't order around my wife that's the only rule I give you besides not leaving the city fine I said I wanna order around the queen but I will mess with the princess.
especially since she's just a baby and she's weak so I'll give me something to play with.
Queen Lat was horrified as I said that you are not my baby Soleness you may have the Vald Orion tattoo, but you are still Soleness. I'm so older, he said to her correcting her.
No Queen Amelia the queen, said Queen Olivia I can correct you if I'd like because you're not a son to me I'll never think of you as such. I do not like you.
Time went on, and I hated her even more as the months went on the baby got more attention than me I was wondering why they couldn't lock the little princess away, too I couldn't they lock Riley away Because she was a brat. She wouldn't even become queen anyway.
I hate her they showed me she will not become queen but still I hate her. I stopped getting the attention I was getting before hello I want everything I need I'm the prince.
Janice came up to apologize. Sorry you're right stop giving the princess more attention than you, but she is born and we have to deal with it.
OK, I said sign reluctantly I'll make it up to you. Gina said I'll give you more.
You are the air so you shall get more and you'll be making more public public appearances and places that I choose for you to go. I am not happy that I get to do something also I'm thinking about doing something to humans soon in a few years I would like for you to help me with that project. It will show that you were a great king to be if you help me.
is the quarantine project right? Yes, we're gonna quarantine humans but to do that I need a disease I've hired a doctor to help me, Dr. Fuller. He'll be glad to help me with this. If not, I will frighten him to have his friend locked up too. I thought this would be great. I can get back at my enemy this way.
without killing him first imprisoning him genius then he'll be my slave to Janice. He's brilliant I heard what I am, so I'm gonna have him work on that as well. It'll keep him busy.
fine, I'll just kill him. I asked Carol Luther if I wanted to but I couldn't. It's not worth it not worth killing a Timecrest said Janus killing them is not the answer once he's figured out how to open up and activate that pocket watch if you ever find it if it ever comes to him, the watch will just bring him back from the dead, he's almost indestructible killing a Timecrest makes things worse.
what I asked time pressed it's not his last name but it's what he is educating me on please I asked him sure I knew some information about them. I know that when one dies another is born and so forth.
you can't kill them I'll figure out a way I said I'll figure out a way to kill Timecrest without them coming back from the dead like that I want revenge. I know you want revenge but killing a Timecrest ain't gonna do any good I've tried that already throughout my whole long life.
and the pocket watch will be indestructible as well so it'll be difficult for you I can't figure out a way so said maybe I can figure out how to burn that thing. Maybe I want my sister so I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get her back wait till he's older even though I would want to children will not be fun to kill.
any other information I need to know no not now, so Janice besides you'll need other things to know about becoming king, so I don't need you to know everything about Timecrest yet, and my involvement with one I will not tell you all that right now but I do like I do I will tell you this one thing.
And what is that? I asked I like that all Timecrest can feel pain still so hurting them is good killing them isn't, because even if you kill one, one will be born in its place, but they come back from the dead over and over again until they can't, give them a lot of pain will be the best strategy.
OK, then that's good information to know I said I can keep that information or you're my only air. The girls are not really my air and neither is my oldest son so when I die you'll become king I don't need to know a lot of things to become king.
No, just had a rule I know the kingdom will thrive. Under your rule. I do know that much even if I decide just to step down and I don't die I'll let you still become king that's just how it will work probably more likely if I die.
That's good. When are we gonna start this project of yours soon as possible when I find all the humans in this world and I'll start building the quarantine cities I'm gonna start building them soon.
That sounds good do you want me to help with this project? Yes you can help with the building that be the only time I'm allowing you out of this city or if you're doing public appearances in places other than that you're not allowed to leave the city right understood are we getting ready to build the quarantine cities?
Yes, Gina said we are getting ready to build them and you're going to help with this project. I understood and it was an exciting quarantine. Humans will be excited.
This is exciting because this is an exciting time in our time of history.
you won't be building them but you'll be overseeing them. I can't oversee everything my new father said all right then I will oversee this project for you, Dad I will do this for you.
Good, I'm glad you'll be helping with the oversight because I wouldn't be able to do it. All myself will be working with the high commander in the high mage. I don't mind the high made, but the high commander is weak. Why does he have to be your friend because he's the closest confident I have said Janus, you are you're my closest son can you be king and you'll be over these quarantine cities one day?
The idea that I'd be over the humans gave me frills and hope controlling, controlling the fate of humans controlling the fate of my human enemy was better than killing him. I'm trying to figure out how and maybe I can get my sister to leave him that made me smile. I carried the smile all day thinking about it when I soon would have him in my grass, trapped behind a wall for all eternity, but I can give my sister freedom I can give her hope I can get her to be a princess with me, my queen, even or even just a princess wouldn't matter to me just a thought of it just made me happy, giddy, joyful.
Unlike my younger siblings, who were just now born I thought to myself I will finally have you captured. I'll have my sister back I can't kill you I'll trap you in prison you in prison your life of being free. Will be over soon.
Your life will be mine you took my sister so now you'll pay but I'll give her a choice to join me to join the quarantine zones or to join me and not join you to be with you she's not human so she doesn't have to suffer.
I will force her. I'll force her to make a choice. You won't win.
Your days are number to being free loser you'll be trapped forever. You'll have your other family though just you won't have Scarlet.
I need to get started on my plans the plans of your entrapment I gotta go get started on my plans we're building this place these quarantine towns these quarantine cities the doctor is working on making the disease plan come together.
goodbye forever you'll feel trapped and hopeless and you'll never get out. I laugh easily thinking of the thought my enemy trapped inside and wall forever killing him would've been best, but since Gina said that ain't gonna work, a father is green that then this is the best opportunity I can still get what I want, and separating the two of you.
and I'll still get what I want because I am the prince of Ater and I can get what I want and what I want is my sister so I will get what I want because I am the prince and soon to be king I'm spoiled yes but I don't mind.
And I always get what I want now servants came in, and I bought them around. The high commander also came in and I told him to leave but your father requested for your sir, or your presence fine I said, as I left the room.
Also walked by my little sister's room. I decided to scare her so I did young Riley cried I didn't care and enjoyed making people suffer and cry. She's not old enough for me to boss around yet so all I can do is just scare her. Her mother scolded me, but I didn't care. I told her she had eaten my mother and left.
Now that I was prince, I could do nothing wrong. I enjoy being a princess it's better than trying to become a master. Janice was right. This is a lot more fun. I get more control of the kingdom and get to do what I want I get to help with the quarantine towns, and Help with the destruction of humans rounding them up will be easy too and so much fun I like the idea of this and my sister will be mine forever. I just have to force her into coming with me that being in the quarantine zones is not for her.
I walked down the hall of the palace, which wasn't made of. I am yet father, I said, as I came into his study.
There you are I heard Jenna say, making your plans, and on my head good boy you're gonna be the best prince and king ever once I leave this place I die or I decide to resign, but I'm not going to not offer for a while. I annoyed my little sister Smiled good wait until she gets bigger then I can annoy her but that's not what I'm here about about the quarantines. Yes, I have the design I looked at it. Nice it looks great.
OK don't start. I'm building these cities since the disease is starting to spread. I'll get the workers to help start building. Good idea to follow these designs. I'm not good at following directions but I'll do my best. I know you will. The one that's closest to our city will be the first one built and the first group of humans will be entering it soon in a year I can't wait who is it gonna be I have the list of names said Janice fine I said I'll look at that list too. May I have it of course son you can have the list.
I smiled when I found out that the reeds were on this list, I found those knowing that Scarlet was also on the list even though she wasn't a read, I will save my sister from this. She's on the list. She's part of the family now yes but she's not family. She's my sister. I should make her a Vald Orion like us. Janice smiled good you could try.
it won't be easy but I will try. I will. I will try to cause I want her here and involve her with me not in the court zone with that but humanely. This is the perfect revenge.
I can hold the authority of being a prince over her head and tell her she's under orders to come with me and if she refuses I could force her to come or I can make her stay in the quarantine zone and she'll be miserable smart Janice said good idea I like your plan.
oh, and we'll start compensating for things like books and stuff. Once they start moving in and limited technology so they don't rise against us tones are fine, but as long as they don't figure out how to read a book or have books and other technologies that are not approved, will not be allowed in the quarantine towns food is allowed because I don't want them to starve. Gina said I would I would compensate for food too. That's a little far I won't allow that and I'll make sure it's comfortable so they don't revolt. He said a prize against us.
and when they least expect it boom, I will kill them off except for the Timecrest. Of course, he can't be killed why I told you why earlier oh yeah, I can't stop humans from being born but I can trap them and if they're not discovered, then I can't trap them, they have to be found as a human before they can be trapped. The ones that are already registered as humans are going to be locked up first.
and I'll even give them I'll even give read special privileges because their dad is a very great speaker and he built the first train system so he'd be a great ambassador for their vet for their quarantine zone. That way they could have high standards of what they should not do to revoke me.
for a while as long as I am keen, you will not be allowed to touch the Reed family, and even if they change their names or whatever you are still not allowed to touch them because that would be treason treason you can emotionally manipulate, but you can't physically harm them that will be treason because I'm gonna make him the prodigy inventor, but I'm gonna have him make stuff for us. He'll make his inventions, but he will not get any profit except maybe food.
So listen, you can't do this as in you can't harm them I nod, even though I wanted to completely pain him. I knew that would be wrong and treasonous and could be true. Tried with a death fine I will not harm them, but I can take my sister she's not part of their family. She doesn't have their last name.
if you can convince her, he said if you can convince her to live here then I'll spare your sister Scarlet, but if not, she will be trapped there too fine that will be her fate. If she chooses to side with the enemy, then yes I will. I will leave her in the quarantine zones if that's her choice but I'm hoping she chooses the right one.
I felt good, knowing that my sister would join me if she chose if not, then her faith is sealed her death is sealed and she'll no longer be a sister of mine. I might give her multiple choices though, even if she gets locked in there for her freedom, and if she keeps refusing, then I'll disown her that sounds best.
I was happy, knowing this now, happy knowing that my enemy would be locked away forever and my sister would be with me he wouldn't be able to take her away ever again even then I would figure out another way to trap her.
Jai so get what I want and I will get what I want I will I will I will get what I want and what I need.
and when I want a need, is you sister he ain't gonna keep you forever I will convince him I will convince you that life in the quarantine zone will be nothing and you will never hide from me. If not, I will throw a fit.
And that's a promise I will get you sister also I will have everyone locked up in quarantine, zones, trapped for all eternity.
I went back to my room, glaring at my baby sister again, and went to my room and slammed my door. I even told the servants to bring my meals to my room. If not, then I'll burn them.
The days they were told because they didn't want to be burned by my magic one girl, though, didn't do as I asked and I burned her right there. I burned her down and laughed left Manoly about it.
More and more servants fell at my hand. Then they learned that they had to serve my every need. I was spoiled, and I was fine with being spoiled.
Had all the gold I wanted all the power I wanted I was in charge at least somewhat and I was enjoying it. I was really happy about this powers kept me and checked and power and I just loved it. It's better than being a master.
I killed most servants because of them not obeying me I was now the most spoiled prince, in all of Valencia, and all of Volder. I had what I wanted, and I could go as I wanted, except as long as I didn't leave the city, except when I oversaw the building of the quarantine towns.
and did public appearances and other towns and villages, and even in other empire empires the only time I ever left, the city was a royal. I also was given my royal emulate like every other royal that can store my memories, even though I wasn't born of all, Dorian, I enjoyed everything about it, though the spoiled the loyal lifestyle.
The future is not gonna look so bright. It won't look bright for them, but for me, it will be.
And I'll figure out a way to kill a Timecrest even if it is difficult, I'll figure out a way for them not to come back from the dead and then I can kill my enemy without worrying about him coming back from the dead.
I smiled to myself, knowing I have a plan a plan of destruction. My plans will always come to fruition, and once they do, I will be happy because I know that I'll be happy and everyone else will be happy and when I'm not happy, no one's happy.
Omitting the chapter here I might do a second soul chapter in a row since I did two Scarlet chapters in a row but I think this is great and I love my new layout. I hope you enjoy this new layout too. I just started using this I should've used this before, but I just hope you're not upset that I decided to change up the style of my not my writing per se, but putting these lines in between a few of my pages, but I think to another soul chapter will be necessary because I need to see about the building of these quarantine cities and then the quarantine zones will start we're getting to that point of the story halfway there. I wish I'd done this in parts but I thought this was better, and if I decide to write another book on info, I will and might because there's a lot in this small series I wanna explore as well I like riding in series and I think it makes things easier especially if there's a lot to say but this ain't the last chapter in this book, I will let you know when it is and what it is all right I'll see you then in the next chapter.
oh, and before I forget, Merry Christmas and happy reading
