Too young for this

,, Why ! WHY must I go through this ? What have I done? " , he cries and cries . There is nobody too comfort him nobody to love him . He is all alone .

He cries silently till he faints .

The next day as he wakes up there is a sudden realisation, the week ends in two days and he does not know what to do .

,, What shall I wear , what shall I do , how do I act ? " He ponders as he knows he doesn't have much . His clothes are like rags and he reeks . A shower is something Thomas would be happy of , if he could even have one for more that 5 minutes. They have neglected him since he was four. His mother a former maid if the palace turned senile after witnessing the death of her home town village infront of her eyes as a punishment she never new the crime of . She blamed herself but mostly her son since he always looked different . Hair as withe as snow, eyes as red as crimson. A devil they say . A demon .

As the days has past the week is over . Nobody to wish him farewell, nobody that would miss him . No mother to be sane enough, no siblings to hug , no father to return to and no kingdom to love . He was now on his own . To a kingdom he never saw nor its people, only heard of on distant conversations.

,, Please enter the carrige prince Thomas, and watch your step . It is going to be a long ride and I Beratus will take care of you ." Silence , just a slight nod nothing more . He did not know what to say . How does one react to such ? He was not ever called by his titel or even his names at times at all .

The carrige ride was awkward. No word was spoken for what seemed days , and they would be in the carrige for days. Five even and a week in a fair .

,, Prince Thomas, why do you look and present yourself the way you do ? I do not want to seem rude but our meeting was strange and you don't look very umm well prince like. I am aware that you kingdom isn't as wealthy as ours but I know it's not that poor . " Beratus trys to make sense of his situation for he has only heared rumors and wants to know more of them too . With a whimpering in his voice and tears in his eyes Thomas states ,, I am the third prince of the Selverus kingdom an bastard . My mother was used by the king one night and I became . I have no loved ones and nobody to rely on . There is no power to my name and only shame. An outcast and no love . I have nothing , and now you have to deal with me. My hideous self . I will do everything I can if you just let me live . I will clean and work. I know how to . So please, I beg you , let me live " , he begs as Beratus sits there in shock and whispers something to himself .

,, Do not worry , you are a Prince and we will treat you like one . You will not clean or work . That knowledge will not be needed from you ." With a voice of pity he speaks . Something foreign to Thomas .

The rest of the ride went smoothly. As Beratus tries to let Thomas warm up to him and make him feel at ease.

,,What do you like to eat Tomtom "

,, Bread I would say "

,, Only that Tomtom ? Nothing more lavish ?"

,, No, I only ate bread everyday , sometimes with cheese " .

Beratus sighs and looks frustrated as he realised that Tomtom as he calles him may be a very smart young man and talented but his life he led is just like a commonersor even worse . He is worried that the life in the Mentighal kingdom will be too much for him. Their lifestyle will be too much for him to handel he thinks.

,, What do you think of learning our toung as we ride the fair ? " . Thoms thinks as how he would do it but decided that it would ease up the tension now created.

,, Why is it so difficult ? I can't do it anymore these letters look all the same ." Thomas complains as he doesn't know what he had archived in this short time at all . He can almost speak Tahngal fluently and that all in just one week . Beratus stands in awe as they now enter the palace .

Thomas looks around and sees the beauty of their kingdom . The trees and the flowers look exotic in his eyes the warm heath and the difference of their people .

With his mouth wide open as a man fit for be a woman walks up to them with his arms spread out greeting them .

,, Welcome little prince . I am excited of your stay here . " he goes up to hug Thomas as he stands ther with upper awkwardness filling him and is bit unsure of what to do.

,, Let's just head up on and meet the king " the man's says as they leave .
