Keep in check

I finally have suspect number one, my little brother the second prince Michael. Well I did consider him as a culprit, but his actions are way to redundant.

I mean if he did spread the rumors wouldn't he hide? rather than rubbing it off the victims face, or is he doing this to make me think it's not him!? is my brother really this smart? there is absolutely no chance! Right?

I shake my head to fully restart my mind, breath in, breath out.

I need to keep check of my little brother and find the other suspect while we're at it.

The next day, I started looking for some clues on where to start. First off is the people in the castle, since they're the ones who got affected by it more than the people outside the castle, how it was normally the words would just reach their ears and ignore them, yet why did they get affected by it more and why did they immediately change their attitude towards me?

Second, the person spreading the rumors are most likely to be among the nobility, or those who wield power. No ordinary person would want me out of the throne so easily , and if that's the case they must be pretty well known. To spread the rumors like wildfire and affect my staff easily they would have to have power.

The hints are mild but I think it's enough to make a difference to who and where to start, for example suspect Number Two, the supervisor on all the staff on the entire castle, The head maid of the castle, Rosaline. She has the power to order all the staff whenever and wherever she wants, Hands full of bruises, a well shaped body, a face of a young women not fit for her age and her sharp red eyes that looks into your soul.

-it scares me.

but to why I chose her has no relation on what she looks like, but how she looks at me. She holds a grudge against me, Well not technically me but my mother.

<-------------------------------------------------->

I saw something that I was never meant to see.

In one dark scary night. I was lost, nowhere to go, no familiar surroundings and losing track of time. It was a frightening night.

I had no Idea on where to go, I did what I possibly could think of with my young mind that time.

To follow the light of the beautiful glowing moon.

As I followed the moon I discovered more of the unknown place I was lost in. Empty corridors with the moon shining through the windows, silence that surrounded the entire place, and creepiness that loomed it.

I followed the light of the moon, 'til I climbed to the highest floor of the building, searching and searching for the way back, Until the moon that guided me disappeared. With nothing left but shallow darkness.

I walked, walked and walked in the darkness of the night, scared, tired and losing hope. My will to return was slowly fading, all I could think of was to fall asleep, as I was about lay on the floor, I saw a ray of light.

Hope! I followed with all my last will to the glowing light that led me to a door. The door wasn't the same as those in the corridor, it was different...

Being Ignorant, I examined the glowing light behind the doors

A Beautiful Moon that surrounded the entire room, a silhouette of a lady dancing next to the gorgeous moon, Glowing red blood eyes which shined with the light of the moon.

A beautiful scenery with a dark meaning. The lady whose silhouette rivaled the beauty of the moon, was holding a pair of knife, with a picture of my lost mother on the table.

The emotions I felt was in deep chaos. Amazed by the beauty of what I saw, Confused on what really happened, Angered for the misuse of my mothers photo, Frightened from the truth of the masterpiece I saw, countless emotions covered my heart and mind all I could see next was darkness.

The next morning I woke in my bed, I thought it was a dream at first, Then reality hit me. The girl that I saw dancing with the moonlight was beside me.

"Good morning prince"

I later found out that the place I was lost in was the maids dorm. I was confused on why I was in my bed, but all Rosaline said to me was that I passed out in front of her door, I later then asked Rosaline about my mother, and all she answered was.

"I hate her."

-What really happened at that night?

"I never really found out on why she hates my mother since no one will tell me"

But everyone I asked all said the same things over and over again, "She doesn't hate the past queen"

Maybe I misunderstood her at first, but she clearly said it in front of me that she hates my mother, if she really did hate my mother there's a high chance

that the hatred towards my mother will be transferred to me as time pass by.

Because when I grew up she slowly ignored my approach to her, and every time she looks at me I can feel the hatred brewing.

The more I think about that night the more I get confused, what was her intention? why is my mothers picture in her table? and why did she say that she hates my mother when everyone else say she don't?

After reminiscing about that cursed night, a knock can be hear, I then stood up from my chair and went to the door.

"Who is it?"

"Excuse me but i'm here to tell you that your step uncle is here"

well, well speak of the devil the one that's giving me a headache right now is in front of me. What do you want here huh Rosaline, I stared at her with a really serious intention, but she stared at me back with red eyes filled with Hatred and Regret.

Wait did she say uncle?

"Oh there you are! Did you miss me Kiddo."

"I'm not a kid anymore uncle i'm already an adult!"

"yeah, yeah, yeah like hell I'll believe that"

The Man infront of me right now is my step uncle
