Betrayal is a wound that every man has felt, I wrote this story to show how it can make a man strong. 

"What is the difference between a hero, a villain and a coward?

A hero uses his sword to protect people

A villain uses people to protect his sword

Both are better than a coward

A coward has no sword, and uses empty words to protect his life

A sword is not just a man's weapon, it is a man's ambition, and without ambition, a man is merely a coward.

In order to be a hero or a villain a man must have ambition. The difference between the two is where that ambition lies."

Prince is a Japanese style light novel based on Machiavelli’s classic "The Prince". Although this work takes influence from it, the story, quotes, and characters are all completely original. It is mostly the concept of good and evil that is borrowed from Machiavelli.

The Kind Prince Who Became An Evil Lord of Darkness

"So, what is the tentative plan?" Prince asked Canderous. "They walked down a hall going over the future preparations.

"I am responsible for the manning of the inner castle walls, the last line of defense before the castle is infiltrated." Canderous said.

"My job is to ensure the enemy does not make it pass us, and to provide an evacuation for the Archbishop if necessary"

"I see" Prince said scratching his chin.

First, the enemy will try to penetrate the outer wall. If they have enough ladders and armored men, they may be able to take them over, but that will not be an easy feet. The walls are over a fifty feet tall and are the most fortified part of our defense. Even if they manage to get onto the castle walls, we have access from higher ground from the second inner walls, by which we can rain down hellfire on them.

If they manage to get the first wall, they may try to infiltrate the castle from one of three bridges.
