"I'm so sorry for asking this of you. It was nevery intention to insult you and put you in an uncomfortable situ---" "Shh..."

His back aches. His butt aches too.They are nothing compared to the ache in his heart. If he doesn't know better, he would say that he has developed a chest problem. He knows better, but the knowledge does not help.The headache pounding the back of his head was too severe, he drank from the bottle of whiskey in his hand and lowered his head. The bottle empty, he dropped it beside the seven empty other bottles and picked up a new bottle.He was tipsy, but he isn't drunk. He never gets drunk and he hasn't drank in years.&

He'd memorized almost all the wordings.A knock came at the door. Soft. Hesitant."Go away." He flipped the page, his brows knitted in concentration.Long minutes passed, he forgot about the knock, reading more pages from the storybook.The knock came again, the same as the first one."Go away. I will not say it again." He groaned, flipping to a new page.The sound of door opening forced the King's head up.

His deep groan was calm and deadly."Most of all, it will be easier to believe if there is no seed growing inside her." Little Corna continued like he never spoke, "It is so hard to believe that she never betrayed you, because of the seed inside her. You think yourself unable to create a life."I do not think. I know."
