A Hero's Sacrifice

-----

The knights ran after the King once he fell to the ground, gathering around him. David had just arrived with his disciples, as he gasped once he saw the King.

"Your majesty!"

The soldiers and knights around the King were all crying, David didn't want to think the worst, asking what had happened.

"What happened?! Hey!"

However, nobody would answer him, they remained in silence, crying, mourning…

"Y-Your majesty…!"

He reached his King, his eyes seemed closed, his face smiling, serene.

He looked even younger than before, as if he had regressed to his early twenties.

"A-Ah…! Your majesty!"

David knew what happened, as he started crying, while holding the King tightly, hugging him. To him, the King was more than just his ruler.

He was like a family to him, since he was promoted that he had lived so close to him and his family, they became his family.
