lia bratty
it is me Lia my lovely bunnies
lia bratty
I'm doing a collaboration with charvi
lia bratty
if u don't know her ,she's an amazing author. she has really good stories
the river is clearly flowing it's path carrying a child
the child was around 3 no one knew where he came from its a miracle that he's alive
he was lucky that a family of 3 three found his body carelessly being carried away by the river
the small boy didn't remember how he got here and what happened
the boy sobbed at the thought he has no home and nowhere to go. that was enough for the family to feel sorry
they took the boy in, making him the new member of their family
she is the mother.(I couldn't find a name so yea) she is a servant at the palace. she has been trying to have a child for years that's why she was excited to keep the unknown boy. don't worry she's not bad or evil. she's very kind hearted a great cook but had no education
the father
he is a guard he was the one to spot the boy and save him. he had always wanted a child so that's why he agreed. he has sharp eyes so he spots things easily and has a good heart.
grandpa
he only wants to see the couples happiness and wanted grand kids. so he also agreed to take the poor boy in. He doesn't like arguments. only eats simple food and is good at advices
the boy they found
they named him ryoto
he is 3
they grew very fond of the young boy as time went by. he was their life. they loved him to death and did everything they could to make him happy. They spoiled him a lot and he soon became their happiness.
But they also taught him to always be good. They didn't want him to take the wrong path. They wanted him to be successful and a good man
it wasn't long until his grandpa died. The boy was very close to him. he promised to always follow his teachings and be successful
he was around 5 when he had to move in the castle with his mother because he couldn't be left alone at home at such a young age
mother (not biological)
Ryoto, u stay here ok?
mumma has some work
mother (not biological)
good boy and don't cause any trouble because I'll get punished do u want mumma to be punished
Ryoto Hiroshi
I'll be a good boy
mother (not biological)
good 😘
and like that she carried on with her duties as a servant while Ryoto sat in the palace kitchen playing with his toys peacefully that was until the prince came in
Hideyoshi Masaru
oi who r u
he is the prince.
His name is Hideyoshi Masaru.
Very arrogant and has no friends.
well he wants friends but isn't allowed to step out the palace much so he can't.
he's mean too
Ryoto Hiroshi
*Stands up and bows*
I'm Ryoto Hiroshi
Hideyoshi Masaru
I never saw u here
Ryoto Hiroshi
it's my first time coming here. my mumma works here
Hideyoshi Masaru
(Look at him speaking with like we are equals)
ooh fine then what are u doing
Ryoto Hiroshi
playing with toys. do u want to join? 😁
Hideyoshi Masaru
U have some guts to ask me that. Do u even know that I am the Prince? I don't follow the likes of a mere servant.
Ryoto Hiroshi
A prince can't friends...?
I'm not a servant. I'm just the son a servant.
Ryoto Hiroshi
Well, Prince, I understand...
U don't wanna play right? If that's what you want, I'll go somewhere else and play
well the prince always wanted a friend... And he never got the chance to interact with the outside world much. He doesn't want this chance slip
Hideyoshi Masaru
H-Hey! W-Who said u can leave without my permission? I order you to play with me
Ryoto Hiroshi
*chuckles*
Just say you wanted to play
Hideyoshi Masaru
*Blushes*
Just play!

chap 2
time went past they were now teenagers. Friendship had now turned into love but that emotion was never shared to each other..not yet
but someone didn't like it at all and it was no other than the queen herself
she hated people that were lower class. she didn't like her son being friends with a servant
and she didn't turn a blind eye to her son's behaviour. she knew her son likes that servant and she will do whatever she can to separate them.
The Queen
( I can't let him get any closer. my son should know his limits. what will people say if they get to know about this?.. no no no no. I can't let it happen. I should put some sense into him)
lia bratty
if I use brackets it means she's thinking
The Queen
oi! u servant, call the prince!
the servant goes to the prince
meanwhile, the prince was happily enjoying his time with his Ryoto
Ryoto was talking about different topics and things while the prince just stared at him lovingly in absolute adoration. But was disturbed when the servant came
servant
prince, Her Majesty asks for your presence
Hideyoshi Masaru
*sigh...
ok I'll be there in a minute
The Prince was on his way to meet his mother. He pondered about the reason for his summoning. He tried to remember what he could've done wrong...
Hideyoshi Masaru
(What did I do...?)
(Oh wait! did she find out about the biscuits I stole from her room?!)
Hideyoshi Masaru
( oh my dear god. please bless me with a long life. I hope I don't die today)
Hideyoshi reached his mother's chambers. He took a step inside and he could sense that his mother was angry
Hideyoshi Masaru
Greetings, Mother.
The Queen
So my dear son. U seem to be very happy these days.
Hideyoshi Masaru
Ah.. That! I found a new friend!
Hideyoshi Masaru
He is so fun to be around! 😂
The Queen
Is it the servant's son that you talk about?
Hideyoshi Masaru
Yes mother! I wonder how you know!
The Queen
U should be glad that I'm the only one who knows.
The Queen
I can't imagine you making friendship with a mere servant.
Hideyoshi Masaru
Mother, He is not a servant. He is just the son of a servant.
The Queen
Oh! So u dare talk back to me now?
Hideyoshi Masaru
s-sorry mother...
The Queen
Those nasty scoundrels must be left in the gutter. Why must you dirty your hands trying to help them?
The Queen
I immediately ask of you to break all ties with that filthy being.
Hideyoshi Masaru
But mother! He is my fr-
The Queen
U don't understand! He is using you for your status! He is good to you because you are the Prince! U really think someone as sly as him would make you his ally just like that?
The Queen
He is the kind to have ulterior motives. Be careful my son. I only wish for your well being
The Queen
U may not believe me now. But truth will take it's time to come. And then you will realise how innocent you are!
The Queen
Now leave. I should not see you around that rat.
The Queen
Do u understand?
A few days passed by... Hideyoshi had to reduce his interactions with Ryoto. But he still did meet him in secret
But one day... something unfortunate happened...
Ryoto Hiroshi
HIDEYOSHI! U MUST BELIEVE ME!
Ryoto Hiroshi
I DID NOT DO IT! PLEASE BELIEVE ME!
Hideyoshi Masaru
It's Your Highness for you...
Hideyoshi Masaru
Mother was right.... I was too innocent to believe that you were genuinely interested to make a friendship with me...
Hideyoshi Masaru
I trusted you too much and this is the price I have to pay...
Hideyoshi Masaru
*pushes him*
Don't you dare say my name through those nasty lips.
Ryoto Hiroshi
.... Your... Highness...
Ryoto Hiroshi
When you said you trusted me... is this what you meant..?
Hideyoshi Masaru
H-Huh....?
For the first time, Hideyoshi saw an emotion of betrayal in Ryoto's face..
Ryoto Hiroshi
I-is this what you meant?
Ryoto Hiroshi
U aren't even ready to listen to me... If you really knew me.. u would believe me...
Ryoto Hiroshi
Your highness... tell me... is this what you meant when you said you wanted to be my friend?!
Tears flowed down Ryoto's cheeks..
Ryoto Hiroshi
When you wanted to be my friend, did u mean that you would believe any false accusations against me and make me responsible for something I haven't even done?!
Ryoto Hiroshi
I'm sorry your highness... I have crossed my boundaries and have done something out of my limits.
Ryoto Hiroshi
Your highness, Please punish me... Please banish me from setting foot on the palace grounds ever again...
Hideyoshi Masaru
N-No! Wa-
The Queen
So you have finally learned your place. I, the queen, therefore, banish the servant's son from ever setting foot on this holy grounds.

Chap 3
The Queen
So you have finally learned your place. I, the queen, therefore, banish the servant's son from ever setting foot on this holy grounds.
Ryoto Hiroshi
Yes, Your Majesty...
Ryoto turned to Hideyoshi and said
Ryoto Hiroshi
Your Highness, the time you have spent with me was truly beautiful.
Ryoto Hiroshi
I'm truly grateful you ever "considered" being an companion to me.
Ryoto Hiroshi
Thank you for gracing this "servant's" life with your "kindness"...
The Queen
Just leave. Don't contaminate this place with your presence any longer
Ryoto Hiroshi
Yes, Your Majesty
That's when Hideyoshi bowed to his mother and said
Hideyoshi Masaru
Mother, I wish to speak with Ryoto Hiroshi
Hideyoshi raised his head to the angry eyes of his mother, glaring at him.
The Queen couldn't object his request as he seemed quite determined.
The Queen
I accept since it'll be the last time you both will ever have an interaction
Hideyoshi Masaru
Yes, Mother.
The boys left the study room and went into the quiet garden.
The silence of the garden added more tension to the already bad situation
Both of them didn't speak anything..
Hideyoshi was the one to break the silence..
Hideyoshi Masaru
Did u really not steal it..?
Ryoto Hiroshi
No. I didn't steal it, Your Highness. But does it matter?
Ryoto Hiroshi
You are not gonna believe a low life like me. Are you?
Ryoto Hiroshi
I thought we were friends but no. You reminded me of my place. I sincerely thank u for that.
Ryoto Hiroshi
I won't interfere with ur life anymore.
Ryoto Hiroshi
I shall take my leave now, Your Highness.
With that, Ryoto left leaving the prince frozen..His heart felt heavy and his mind was a mess. He didn't know what to believe...His eyes or Ryoto..
His heart wants to believe Ryoto while his mind wants to believe what he saw.
With these thoughts, he stood up and walked to his mother's chambers...
but he stopped at the door and what he heard shattered his heart
servant
the plan worked, Your Highness. The Prince has lost his faith in that slutty servant
The Queen
Of course it did. Afterall, it was I who planned it. It was sure to work. Now that bitchy servant will leave my son alone and not seduce him
The Queen
My son can only marry a princess. What was he thinking when became friends with that servant? anyway low lives like him are disgusting.
The Queen
Did he not know how much it could affect our status? I hope he learns his lesson after this.
The Queen
He should only be with people that match up to his status.
The prince didn't know what to say. His mother planned all this just to preserve her "Status"... How could his own mother do this...? tears trickled down his face...
He slowly opened the door while looking at the ground...The servant noticed his presence and started to get nervous...The prince was more terrifying and merciless than a demon in hell. His temper was something that shouldn't be provoked carelessly..
The queen turned silent. she didn't dare to turn around. she couldn't muster up the courage to look at her son in the eye. She was afraid. As said, his temper is something that can be provoked. It's something which shouldn't be taken as a mere joke.
Hideyoshi Masaru
Mother, why don't u turn around...?
Hideyoshi Masaru
Are you ashamed to look me in the eyes because of ur actions..?
Hideyoshi Masaru
Well, u should be. As ur my mother, I can't hit you. That is not the way of my morals.
Hideyoshi Masaru
But I break all my ties from you. Today...I lost my friend.. my love.. because of your selfish desires... so to pay the price, you lose your son.
The Queen
w.. what u can't do that!!!!
The Queen
why can't you see I did this for u!
The Queen
that servant didn't deserve u!
Hideyoshi Masaru
You have no rights to decide who deserves me or not. I was happy with him and thats all that mattered. But to u, only power and status mattered..
Hideyoshi Masaru
At the cost of your son's happiness...
Hideyoshi Masaru
So from now on You Majesty...I, Hideyoshi Masaru, no longer see you as my mother. I only see u as the queen of this kingdom and nothing else.
With that, the prince leaves a heart broken mother behind...
Every word of his, stabbed her a million times. She regretted all her actions. She wanted to turn the time back..but she couldn't. Her body dropped to the floor as she broke down in tears..
she lost her son... All this power and status...blinded her to see her sons happiness.. To see how pure ryoto was..
But she can only cry and regret now.. that will do nothing will it..? Ryoto won't come back..her son won't forgive her...
Today, both the mother and the son lost someone they treasured the most..
If only she had seen how much of a beautiful relation they had and supported them...this wouldn't have happened..
Because of her selfishness, she ended up losing her son..
