It was rainy afternoon when a boy Mackis running for his life. It was one of terrible days he had after he decided to escape from Martyna. He is only thirteen year old and this life has been cruel for him to endure all sufferings since he was vanished from Burlington palace.
	Yes.
	He is a prince -a king supposed, after the death of his father king Nicolau of Burlington his mother queen Martyna reigned the kingdom disregarded that she is woman.
	Queen Martyna after the death of king Nicolau took the throne as a rightful to reign over Burlington but impossible to take over as long as eight-year-old prince Mackis is alive and healthy.
	It was a horrible action that almost put the prince to his death after he was pushed by queen Martyna to the castle's window three days after the death of the king. He must be dead or broken limb by limb if it is not in the net hanged covering the plants rescued him caused him not to land on a hard ground.
	It was almost midnight of his sleeping when his mother kissed his forehead to woke him up. It was a surprise! He never remember queen Martyna hugged nor kissed Mackis since he grew up. But this night is different. The woman hugged him so tight and kissed his cheek and forehead as if it was first and the last.
	"Young boy, it is your best luck if you never been born at all..." she whispered with a grin on her face.
	He never understood the word but never spoke a word to his mother.
	"Are you not to ask me why I never like you young prince?" She asked. "I never wished of becoming a mother -but a queen yes! 
She opened it and pulled him to reach the terrace. He felt the icy cold of the night but his mother never bothered to cover him. He watched the darkness surrounded them but his 
wickedest of a mother pushed him to fall there to his death.

	

THE SECRET PLAN

Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates; 


At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it; lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee. 


 Mackis awakes to not so familiar place. It was hard, 'how come his comfy bed in the palace became so hard and he can smell the dusty ground of the earth?' 


 He opened his green eyes. The heat of the light illuminated his pale skin and almost blinded him. The corn plant which was almost dried was everywhere not familiar to him. 


 'Am I hallucinating?' He asked himself as he puzzle the event last night. He thought he would die from a great fall if it was not in the net up there which caused him to save his life. 


 'I supposed, I must be laying on that net fifty feet high from the ground and died there. How it is possible for me to reach this place if no one takes me here?' He inquired cleverly to himself. 


 He was asleep in the midst of a corn plantation and had a small bag with him. He searched the possible part of the place where his savior hid. 


 "Show yourself at once!" He ordered in anticipation of anyone to emerge from anywhere but nobody hearken his voice. 


He decided to continue his unplanned journey. He must be a king now but he must leave his kingdom to give way to the wicked ways of a queen - his mother. 


 She watched the event twice now. First from her sweven three-nights past. And it seemed to her watching the second time the same event. 


 From her position inside her little humble castle, she had the view of the young king's highest castle. She saw Atheo, King Nicolau's trusted guard watchful as she did for the event of the night. They had expected the queen to dispatch the young prince but not as bold as the event she dreamed of a few nights ago. She alarmed the most trusted guard of the king for she had a hard time knowing whose intentions around her is still blameless and whose faithfulness belonged to Martyna. 


 She had made the king's men put a wide net hung to protect the beautiful budding of flowers a little lower from the terrace of the castle unaware of its hidden purpose. She saw the shadow of two persons that seems hugging. Queen Martyna she supposed and her king son. She cannot expect a young child though smart enough to act like a fully grown-up king. So she wanted the crown. 


 Queen Martyna pushed the young king to the castle. And leave her child there. Atheo saw the event Ignacia told her. She watched as he carefully climbed up the post to save the young king. She wondered about things as it happens as she had dreamed last night.
