One Week of Madness Part I: A Blazing City

The ship sails on the sea without any disturbance or obstacles. They're estimated to arrive at Betbury in one and a half days.

On the journey, Niall spends his time constantly gazing at the sea.

"Are you thinking of the Queen Mother, Your Majesty?"

"Don't bring her up, old man. I don't want to hear about her. To me, she's already dead." Niall glared at the butler. His eyes contain deep anger.

Honestly, he doesn't feel any remorse for leaving his mother behind. He thinks of it as a payback for the unfair treatment he received while growing up. His little brother, Niel exceeds him in both academics and politics since he was just at the age of six.

Despite having a family, he never feels like he has one. Their parents focus all their attention on Niel. He is a jewel and the pride of the family. A one in a century genius as they called him. Everything Niall did was never good enough, at least not as good as his little brother.
