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

The night of the midnight crusade was one I could never forget... A day in which I and my accomplishes fooled all of France into making me into a hero, but the following day... Was a dark day that the People of France never talk about.

The battlefield was nearly even. The thieves had control of both the inner and outer walls on the Western side, while the soldiers of Clay had the East. The walls sides went around the castle in a full 360 degrees, with no bridge for either side to use to walk across to get to the castle. The Castle's windows  to far away to be grappling hooked, could only be reached by accessing the castle by land, which their was only two ways to approach.

The first was by walking down the drawbridge which Prince destroyed, and the second was an inner passage that connected from the middle bridge that the two walls were connected too.
