Alex Killed His Father?

"Father!" Alex held his father and gave a long guttural cry. His eyes widened with shock as he held him in his arms and walked out of the room.

"I will take you to the physician. I will save you, father." he was muttering more to himself than the cold body. For he did not dare to notice there was nothing to save.

But he had hardly crossed the passage, leaving the trail of blood behind him when his way was blocked by knights and maids.

They all stared at him with wide eyes. Many gasped. Horror danced frenzy in many eyes. But they all could not be taken away. The silence was thick and suffocating as everyone kept staring at the scene as if they had lost their ability to speak.

They could not understand and though they could see it, they could not believe it. They were sure it would be some kind of illusion.
