Chapter 52

　　Arius Pov

　　My coronation was fixed to be two weeks from that day, that day, I lost my son and I spent the next one week hiding from everybody including the mother once I had comforted her for the first day.

　　I was being a coward, I knew this but it was all too much for me and I didn’t want to be closed to anybody right then, I lost my father and my child within the space of ten days and I was expected to be a king and take up responsibility arising.

　　I could cope with my father’s death but my son’s own threw me off, I was not expecting that or my reaction. My reaction which still surprises me since I never one day wanted the child but I still felt the loss.
