One Kingdom Falls While Another Becomes An Empire Part 1

"Master!" Grace came out of nowhere and hugged me, which only served to drive my sorrow more. Death was not something that I could handle well. I had been bottling it up inside me all this time, but now with the news of Sophie's parents, all the people I knew and grew up with were now popping up in my mind. Auntie Finna and everyone else all died because they were targeting me. If only…. 

I do not think I have cried like this in a long time. Grace did not part from my side either. Instead, she stayed with me, keeping me company while I released all my pent up stress. Staying strong is one thing but bottling it all up inside was also not a good thing. I have been busying myself trying to do this and that to keep my mind busy.  But even then, I was still suffering on the inside.
