The Broken Prince

"Murderer." I said coldly. He looked down at me with his expression not changing to which irritated me even more. His eyes did not hold anything but anger for what we are doing to his son. If I was not chained, I would've burned him down right away.

"King Archemidius, your son is-"

"Reports have reached me that you are trying to corrupt my heir." King Archemidius interrupted Queen Molina.

The High Majesties stood up from where they were slumped down and looked at King Archemidius with an unamused face. Despise the evident distaste by the three, King Archemidus's face still didn't change.

The heels of his leather boots started to make a clanking sound as he started to walk towards the sphere where his heir was in. Only then did I see his face change.. His eyes slightly went wide and I could see his lips twitching lightly.

"Your son has held our heirs captivated, what do expect us to do King Archemidius!? This is a breach of the treaty we signed-"

"My son has not gotten his powers yet and you are accusing him of such!? He can't even hurt a fish!" King Archemidius exclaimed angrily. The veins on his neck were starting to pop and I could see his face starting to get red.

"Well then what do you call this!? Isn't this the son you claimed to have not been able to hurt a fish!?" My father shouted back pointing at Alexander. King Archemidius stayed silent and looked at his heir with an indifferent expression.

"And what is with your excuse of him not possessing magic. He's holding my son down in chains right now and you say he's of not powerful-"

"My son has been birthed together with the water elements and the chains that are holding your son down are blocks of ice! So what are you trying to say!? My son can bend and snap elements!?" King Zergon was interrupted yet again by King Archemidius.

The immense tension in the air was starting to get heavier as moments went on. KingArchemidius looked back at his son who did not look anything like Alexander and even I can say that. I groaned lightly when I felt the shackles on my wrist tightening.

I looked at my wrist and saw that my veins were starting to protrude and turn purple. The stinging pain was also starting to get worse which made me suppress a groan. King Archemidius walked even closer and laid his finger on the sphere but later on jumped out as the contact gave him a form of shock.

A faint trail of smoke was seen and I could smell burnt flesh. We all looked at his finger which was surprisingly severely burnt. He might've felt any form of pain but his face remained steady as if it was nothing. His finger was then covered in glowing liquid and then after that, it looked like nothing happened to his finger.

Silence was the only loud thing between us royalties until the ground shook again and a buzzing was heard. We all looked at Alexander who looked like he's gotten even more worse. His hands were both raised on his side and he was starting to float.

"Mom!" We looked at Diane and our eyes widened as her wrist were already bleeding. In the land where no blood of any royals may shed, this was a huge deal. If this was a normal day, the one who caused her or any of us to bleed would be long dead. The others groaned as well which even made us rose to greater heights in panic.

"Dianne!" Queen Molina exclaimed. She looked at Alexander with such rage that her eyes started to glow light green.

"Molina! I am warning you! One move against my son and more blood will shed-"

"I do not care Archemidius! My daughter's blood has already touched the dirty concrete! Your son will pay for what he's done!" Queen Molina was beyond angry right now. He looked at King Archemidius with such anger that it could kill someone on the spot.

"Move, Archemidius, our heirs are in danger. If the death of you heir will give ours freedom from the chains that are keeping them abound, then so be it." King Zergon said before immediately casting his power towards King Archemidus. The ground started to clump on the King's feet until it reached up to his neck.

"Touch my son and your head will be the cost!" King Archemidius retaliated angrily.

"It's personal matters Archemidius, the treaty no longer means anything." Father said with authority before he directed his power towards king Archemidius.

The captured King screamed in pain as fire engulfed the cement that was keeping him from moving. I felt no pity towards him as this was nothing compared to the death of my mother. The things we went through when my mother died led our kingdom to go south for a few years. We lost our Queen but for me, I lost my mother. A life debt this foolish king has committed, so its only righteous for our kingdom to ask for his life as payment.

I raised my hand towards him despite the pain and released a surge of fire. I restrained myself from screaming as my body felt like it was about to burst. My wrist felt like being torn off with every moment that passed on but I won't waver. This is for my mother and if I die trying to avenge my mother, our Queen, then so be it.

His scream got even louder and I could see his body starting to burn despite the water barrier he created. The pain I felt on my body subsided and all I want was to kill him. Queen Molina was occupied in breaking the barrier which is now cracked.

"Death is what awaits you boy by the time this sphere is shattered into pieces!" Aggravation was very evident from Queen Molina's voice which is very rare as she was known to be very forgiving and a gentle soul but I guess when it comes to family, especially Dianne, her only daughter and child, all the pretenses are off the bat.

As we were too focused on the task we were separately doing, we got distracted when the surrounding went silent and calm but we were thrown to the ground when a huge wave of energy slammed us again to the floor. I angrily looked at the only person who can cause this only to find him staring back at us with his white eyes.

"Pathetic." We had chills as our eyes widened when we heard him speak. His voice sounded like two person were speaking at the same time. What's even more chilling is that he's wearing this creepy smile that would send anyone to the edge of their seats.

The sound of the chains breaking into the ground filled the room along with the sound of the sphere shattering. The others released a gasp as they got a breathe of fresh air as they were holding onto their wrist which was bleedings.

"Headmaster!" Apollo exclaimed with his voice breaking. We looked over to the old man on the side and the sight of him made my anger rose even higher. Blood was coming out of his mouth and his lips were very dry.

I ran immediately towards him and looked for any other injuries. Thankfully he didn't have any other but my heart stopped when I saw his wrist. I almost gagged at the sight of his wrist which was separated from his entire arm.

Blood was starting to make a pool on the floor and what's worst is that I don't have Dianne's healing power. I looked over to her and saw her heading towards me. She paled even more when she saw the headmaster's situation but she snapped right back and quickly started to stop the blood from oozing out the decapitated part.

"Go and join Kaval and Apollo. Help us this time and I'm not saying that you may have a fault on this worsening but if you helped us from the very beginning, we would have not got to this part."

I felt a pang of guilt as Dianne mustered those words without looking at me. I could sense her anger but decided to just stay silent. I stood up without a word and walked towards Kaval and Apollo. They didn't looked at me for a second and I could tell that they were disappointed in me. I heaved a silent sigh before focusing at Alex who now has came face to face with Queen Molina who looked really angry.

"Did you just called me p-pathetic?" Queen Molina asked with such disbelief and anger.

Alexander on the other hand remained unfazed. His hair is still white and the same goes for his eyes. He sighed and looked at Queen Molina with a bored look. I gritted my teeth at his actions because he was disrespecting not just anyone but the mother of the person who wanted to help him.

"I did." He said blatantly.

"Well how dare you-"

Alexander motioned his hands harshly to the side and Queen Molina came crashing towards the wall. Our mouths hanged low by the sudden action of a mere prince. King Zergon and father looked like they saw a ghost, even King Archemidius. Alexander looked at Queen Molina and started to walk towards her. The gracious Queen was now bleeding and was slumped on the floor.

"How pathetic of you to be swayed like that by a kid." He said before turning around to face us.

"Death shall fall upon you who have tried to kill me and my father. Now, we could do this the easy way, or the hard way. Either way, you all, are still going to die." Alexander mustered before laughing maniacally. I was about to charge at him when I heard a voice inside my head.

"Kill me, Hade."
