CronoOver 4 Chapter 4

That day Alexander went to sleep with that sad expression on his face, all I could think about while I stud guard was, what exactly happened to him, but I knew I shouldn't ask him.

"At least it seems he's having a nice dream"

-He wasn't.

Not too long after that Alexander Woke up screening and crying, His face looked like a newborn baby's, I could see he tried to act as nothing happened but I guess his tears were stronger.

"Alexander!!!, what's wrong, what happened, are you all right?" I rushed to his side as soon as I saw him in that state.

"Im...hick...fine...hick...don't...worry...hick...about...hick...me...hick."

After all that I have been thro with Alexander, this was the first time I have seen him in this state, even if we were fighting an enemy way stronger and bloodthirstier then us, he would usually put up a gentle smile, and when we were defeated and had to run away he would laugh at how week I am.

For the first time in four years, I felt emotions I hadn't felt for years, for the first time in four years I felt like a human again, so even thou I knew I shouldn't I wanted to get closer to him, to know more about him.

"You know, they say some things are better to let out then keep for yourself."

"..."

"We're friends right, Alexander?"

-Alexander looked at Rin with a face of happiness because he knew that Rin cared about him, and he also didn't want to keep it inside anymore, he wanted a shoulder to cry on, so It made him especially happy Rin offered that shoulder.

"I have to warn you my story Isn't a happy one."

-Alexander looked at Rin and started the story of his youth.

"I grew up on a farm, my mom was a fieldworker who spent all her days working on the fields, and nights as a waitress, both jobs didn't pay much but it was enough to keep us alive, my dad on the other hand was a n.o.ble, not from a very rich family but he still had a lot of money.

He didn't live with us nor did anyone knew I was his son, that's because mom and he had a one night stand when she was still working on the farm and she didn't have enough money to survive, dad had a rough day at work and paid mom to make him feel better and after that night I was born!"

"It was forbidden for n.o.ble blood and normal people to interact in that way, they thought of us as pigs who did their dirty work, but still after I was born, father often came to visit, he would put on dirty robes to look like a poor person and come to our house, whenever he visited, which was two or three times a month he would give mother some money and tell me all about the knights that were at the kingdom, how they were brave and strong, no one could defeat them!"

"When I asked mom why dad couldn't stay with us she told me that he was a n.o.ble and she was poor, If his parents who were the heads of his household found out what he did and that he has a son, they would disown him and kill us, Even thou I wasn't able to spend my childhood with my dad I was the happiest kid in the village, because I had mom and my friends, the other kids from the village were nice even thou their parents called my mom a Wh.o.r.e, because she had me and no husband, they would play with me every day, In good times and bad, we were there for each other."

"But after six years everything changed, the king fell ill and shortly after died, in his will, he said he leaves the throne to my father, the king had a phobia of woman witch meant he was never married, nor did he have kids."

"Later on dad told me he and the king were childhood friends and that he had saved him from a bunch of dogs once, and that was the reason he left the throne to him after father took the crown and became the king he changed his last name to mothers so that his parents couldn't come in the way of them, and after that he took us to the capital and we finally lived together, like a real family."

"Moving to the castle meant mom became queen and I became a prince, only after dad had finally married mom, I was given harsh study sessions and a master swordsman as my instructor, most of my days I spent training sword fighting, and studying and that meant I had no time for my friend back at the farm.

" So I started sneaking outside and going to visit them, at first it was two or three times a week but after a short amount of time I was going on a daily basis."

"The butlers and maids tried to stop me but I always managed to escape them, I wondered why they didn't chase me after some time, it was because dad orders them to let me do as I pleased, And I mean it wasn't as if I didn't complete my daily duties, I went after the study sessions were done and after I Beaten up the master swordsman."

"I would spend most of my days playing with them It was the only thing that gave me joy, because the life I wanted wasn't what I had, I thought after we became a real family I could spend more time with dad, doing family stuff but he was always so busy running the kingdom, and the result was that the people loved him, mom was always going around different villages giving the poor food and they loved her too, I loved them more thou, but they didn't give me the time of day."

"So I decided to study even harder, train even harder, even invented my own sword technique, but that still wasn't enough for them to notice me."

"At my sixteenth birthday party, my father came up to me and talked to me for the first time in weeks, but what he told me wasn't what I wanted to hear."

"You see my mother fell ill because she spent a lot of time on the sun, and her frail body couldn't take it anymore the doctors sad she faced death, but that wasn't the only thing father told me, he also said I was to get married in two years time with the princess of the neighboring kingdom."

"The marriage was the smallest of my problems, I was worried about mothers health but the doctors forbid me from seeing her, they told me I could be infected and That I needed to stay away, that didn't stop me of course, but father did, he told me he didn't want to lose me as well."

"The next day I was to meet the princes that is going to be my future wife, so maids dressed me up in fine clothes for the first time in a while and I went to greet her, even thou I was a prince I didn't often dress that nice, that was because I trained a lot and got dirty a lot to."

"The princess was beautiful, I have to admit it, but she was two years younger than me."

"When she came in front of me she offered her hand and I kissed it, Father wasn't able to be there with me because he took over mother's duties and gave the poor people support however he could, I spent the rest of the day with Ellie getting to meet her and while I was doing that one thing became certain to me, she was a spoiled brat!"

"She always bragged how she has the most jewels out of her friend, how her family owns so much money and a lot more, our parent made an arrangement that one week I would

spend at their kingdom with the princess, and the other she would spend here. That was because they wanted us to get used to each other and they were also waiting for us to fall in love with each other, which didn't happen."

"The week I was in her kingdom I couldn't go and visit my friends, nor could I train. I spent my days on walks with her listening to her bragging, but when we returned after breakfast she would take a bath and that time

I used to sneak out and go visit them, they were the only people that could make me laugh."

"But after a while, she found out I was going to meet them, and she didn't like that. She hated that I ignored her and went to laugh with 'dirty pigs', so one day when I came back she waited for me and started shouting at me."
