"My Majesty, it's time for your health session"
The sun shone on Nicolus' hazel brown hair, and sparkled on his emerald green eyes. 'It's time for my session again' he thought, sitting in his exquisitely decorated room. Nicolus was probably the weakest royal member in the history of his family, a few drops of rain and he'd get sick immediately, a little sip of cold water will get him coughing for weeks. No doctor can explain his condition, and because of that he never got to do things a normal prince would do, like sword fighting, horseback riding, and helping villagers.
His personal doctor came in, and started to check his health with a spell.
"Everything seems well so far Prince Nicolas..just avoid getting tired, and your immune system will slowly but surely start to strengthen."
"Ok, thanks.."
The doctor left without saying another word, like everytime she comes to check him. 'Its that same phrase over and over again..I don't even remember the last time I got tired, even just slightly. But why am I still not strong? Why am I so weak? At this rate my younger sister will become the heir instead of me-'
And as if on cue, Nicolas' sister gently walked in his room, holding a big tray with plates of steak, eggs, and a cup of tea.
"Hey Nico.. I brought you some steak and eggs I whipped up a while ago, and a cup of your favorite citron tea." Her sweet voice echoed through the walls.
Nicolas didn't not like his sister, in fact they are both very close, he just wishes that he could take up the big responsibility of being the ruler rather than burdening his little sister with it.
"Oh great, thanks Louise, just what I needed.."
Louise placed the tray on his lap, then sat down on the chair beside him, looking at him with worried eyes. "Did the doctor say something about your health? You know, it's ok because I know that one day you'll grow so big and strong!" She happily exclaimed. "Haha thanks Lou, but I don't think I'm going to get any better soon, the doctor just says the same thing over and over again, my condition isn't getting worse and isn't getting better either.." Nicolas sighed, staring at his neatly prepared breakfast.
Louise sighed too, "If you're thinking about the heir to the throne, I requested to be a temporary ruler while you recover."
Nicolas didn't lose this gaze on the steak, 'Louise is just 15 but she can make decisions like a real Queen, I don't know if I want to give her the throne because I know that she can make good decisions for the people, or not because I heard that past rulers changed drastically when they had all the power.'
"Nicolas" a gentle voice said from the other side of the door.
"Come in Mom"
A well dressed lady came in the room, she had the same hazel brown hair and emerald green eyes as Nicolas. And her very warm smile makes you feel like your in a peaceful rainforest. She is Queen Theresa, the mother of Nicolas and Louise, and is known for the beautiful dresses that she sews herself. And following behind her was.. King Arthur, he seems like a gentleman to others but doesn't treat his own family the same way. He looked at Nicolas with pity and disgust, and Nicolas stared back with burning hate. "What do you want? Please make it quick."
"My dear, we are here because we have made a decision"
"What decision?" Nicolas exclaimed
"You'll never get strong enough to rule this kingdom, so we are sending you off to your grandmother." Arthur carelessly said.
Nicolas felt a shiver up his spine and a wave of realization at the same time. This was his greatest fear, to be thought of as weak and to be separated from his mother and sister
