The Forgotten Princess

r>His eyes were losing its brightness.
”I am feeling tired your majesty.
I want to rest. ”

”Yes Alex.
You can rest. ” I said with utmost pain, my voice trembly.
I squeezed his hand tightly.

”Save her majesty.
I am sure that she is waiting for you, sure. ” Alex said and breathed his last breath.

”I promise, I will get my wife back. ” I can feel the pain of loss envelope my body.
Tears started to build in the rim of my eyes.
Tear drops started to fall on Alex ’s chest.
”I will avenge your death, Alex.
You will never be forgotten, I swear upon my name. ”

My grief for Alex ’s loss turned into hatred.
I have experienced lose of many subordinates since I was young, but Alex ’s loss was something that etched deep within my heart.
Alex was a promising young man.
He had a great future ahead, and it was cut short because of this war.

”I will end this war once and for all. ” I promised to myself.

”Your majesty! ” My men was running towards me.
”The enemy retreated.
We came here to help you. ”

”Oh no… Alex. ” My men gathered around with sad faces.

”Does Alex have surviving family members? ” I asked.

”Yes, your majesty.
He has a younger brother by the age of eight. ” One replied.

”His parents were one of the few that were able to survive the Atlantian purge.
They had Alex and his brother after the purge. ” Another replied.

”But I heard the their parents were scorned for being Atlantians and was not able to live peacefully, like us.
His father was killed by bandits while protecting his family when Captain Dimitri came.
He saved the young Alex and the pregnant mother.
Unfortunately, their mother died in childbirth. ” Another explained.

”Captain Dimitri took them in and saw talent in Alex.
He recruited him in the special unit with the promise to feed them and given a place to live. ” Another one said.

”All of us under Captain Dimitri was someone like that at first, someone who has no where to go to, nowhere to call home. ” One said.

”But working under you, your majesty, it gave us a place to belong to. ” One said.

”You gave us a place to call home and we thank you for that.
We will be loyal to you until the day we die. ” Another one said.

My men all kneeled before me.
Loyalty was etched on their faces.
This gave me a sense of accomplishment, having to help fellow Atlantians to have a home to call.

”Alex is a proud member of the special unit under you your majesty, and he gave his life for a cause.
We here are the same.
We will gladly give our lives to you. ” I was touched by their words.

”I am happy to hear your loyalty, everyone of you. ” I placed Alex ’s body gently back on the ground.
My hands and clothes are stained with his blood.
I clenched my fist, vowing that I will seek vengeance.
”I will do everything in my power to end this war, so please lend me your strength. ”

”YES, YOUR MAJESTY! ” all of them shouted in unison.

”Take Alex ’s body.
Be sure to take it back safely to Grandcrest.
He will be buried as a hero. ” I ordered.

”Yes, sire. ” One replied.

”Make sure that his brother will be given living support.
I will personally take charge of him until he is of age. ” I ordered.
’It is the least I could give to Alex who gave his life.
I will make sure to give his brother a good life he deserves. ’

I looked up at the sky and saw a huge bird flying towards us.
I knew at once that it was Tempest, carrying Dimitri and William.

”They have come at last. ” I said.
”We will need to mobilize once I talk to Dimitri.
We need to make haste and catch Gladiolus and his men. ” I ordered.

”I will crush Clara with my own two hands. ” I said with fury.
