At the front of the alter is a pyre made for the sacrifice and the Oracle laid the child on it and the child cry harder.
She started altering some enchantment as she walked round the baby and when the time has come.
She went to the wall and carry the firetorch then turned to the king who nodded for her to continue.
The Oracle torch the pyre and the fire spread burning the branches.
The king took away his eyes as he couldn't watch or withstand the cry of the child as it wail longer.
It didn't take long before the baby stopped crying as the fire took over burning everything the ground along with the baby.
Then immediately the rain stopped, the wind stopped as well, no more thunderclap and the day returned bright as it was.
" My King, the gods has shown Mercy on us, the sacrifice has been accepted and the kingdom is safe" the Oracle reported then left.
{23 YEARS LATER}
I was walking elegantly along the hallway just as every members of the royal family are expected.
Every member of the Royal family are accustomed to act differently from others in the society.
My name is princess Aurora and I'm the firstborn of my parents and I have a younger brother Niklaus.
Since it has never been in history of a woman ruling the kingdom, I don't bother to claim the throne.
I know that's the duty for my younger brother who doesn't even take it seriously as I would.
Women don't really have much say when it comes to the kingdom and I know very soon I'll leave the kingdom.
My parents are already looking for a perfect suitor for me just as expected for every princess.
To my parents they believed that I'm ready enough to become engaged but for me I'm not ready for that yet.
But just like I said earlier women don't really have much say especially when you are from a Royal family.
I have a feeling that some part of me were missing and I believe it might be because of my twin sister.
I was told she died immediately she was born, hearing that really saddens me even though we've never met.
It's a very funny thing that you missed someone you've never met, sometimes I just wish she was here.
I know for sure she and I will get along very well and maybe we might teach that naughty boy some lesson about women.
" Good day, My princess"
" Good day, My princess"
The maids greeted as I walked by to my brother's Chamber and I know exactly what he must be up to.
Ever since Niklaus know sex means he became a deranged nymphomaniac that can't abstain from sex for some period.
Whenever he set his eyes on a woman all his mind thinks about is how to sleep with her.
I've lost count on how many women he slept because he can't abstain from sex for a week.
To make things worse most the girls throw themselves at him, some were few years older than him.
' why not, who wouldn't want to sleep with the prince? '
My parents the king and queen knew of his behavior but they did nothing to caution him because he's the heir to the throne.
As long as he's not hurting anyone or force himself on them.
I of all people can't talk him out of it because he barely listen to me, sometimes I wonder who the elder one is.
' ugghh, uhh...ugh....uuhhh'
At first I thought someone was hurt and was wincing in pain as the result.
But as I draw closer to my brother's chamber I can hear groans and moans coming out of his chamber.
I nodded with regret and anger, it's not my first time of encountering something like this but I have it everytime.
" Ughh.....this boy will never change" I grunted.
I stopped right in front of the door and calmed myself before hitting on the door really hard.
" Who the hell is that?" I heard him shouted from inside.
" NIKLAUS!" I shouted.
" WHAT"
" Seriously?... aren't you supposed to be tired or something?.....this is your third time this week" I asked.
" Is that the reason you want to bring down the door" he said then after a short while two ladies came out blushing.
I noticed one of the girls to be someone I recognize which got me surprised.
" Even you?" I said.
" Good day, My princess" they said before running off while I nodded my head in pitifully.
" Are you decent in there?" I shouted.
" Yes, you can come in now" he replied then I entered only to see him on the bed covered with the eider.
I can perceived the horrible smell of sex in the room immediately I entered.
" This place reeks of sex" I said.
" Worry not, I'll get the servant to clean the place and everything will clear"
" I Just saw the commander's niece coming out of your room.... you're doing her too?" I asked and he scoffed.
" She needs help and she came to the only place she could get it, and don't be fooled by her appearance..."
" Appearance can be deceiving, That one, She's very wild in bed and those are kind I like" he said.
" Enough, I don't want to hear anymore" I replied.
" Why don't you tell me why you are here disrupting my morning pleasure?" He asked.
" Early morning pleasure?, If you keep doing this...you might as well Kill yourself" i said.
" Nonsense, all the women love me and they don't seems to get enough of me all the time"
" And as the generous prince that I am and also the heir to the throne and also the favorite of the gods"
" Which made them bestowed upon me the power and strength and we'll instrument to fulfill these women desires"
" They come to me for pleasure, who am I to reject them?....one of the purpose of being a king is to satisfy your subjects which is what I'm doing" He said proud.
" You're sick, very sick, For the first time in my life I'm glad I'm your sister" I replied and he smiled.
" Oh You, my dear sister, you are covered by the Royal blood "
" I was at the verge of an intense orgasm when you interrupt so I hope it worth it, so tell me dear sister, why are you here?" He asked.
" While you're here ruining your life, father is at the palace with the council"
" And he wants you with him in the palace immediately" I said.
" Why is he sending you?, he could've send one of the guards" he replied.
" He sent me because he knew the guards won't dare to interrupt your crazy morning fun" I replied.
" It's called morning pleasure, sister so what's the urgent meeting" he asked.
" Then you should get your a** up and ask him yourself" I replied then went out on the room.
