Ottavia and the King

My name is Gaius im a Roman citizen and this story begins with me . Year 546 AD Gaius: "how much more time till we get there ? " I'm asking a bit annoyed for the long travel in the boat . My face is tired and my eyes keep on looking how the sun goes down in this beautiful scenery. I want to paint it and keep this image for ever. I'm a painter and I travel the world on purpose to capture the world with my paint brush. I'm still young . I'm 20 years old . And my family ....well my family is something you need to discover once you keep reading. Pirate: "Tomorrow morning sir . But sir I must ask . Are you sure you want to go there with that face? We traders are used to people from everywhere. Them won't be as nice as us." Gaius: "I'm here to draw and need to discover this world.i won't bother anyone and leave after I studied the culture and done my drawings". I'm worried really worried . Because I'm a foreigner for them with a face they didn't see. But my heart aches I need to discover the world and draw how magnificent it is. Pirate: " I recommend you hide your face this is my last advice sir" I nod in agreement and I move my eyes to where the sun sets . I go down and put my head on my backpack and fall in a deep sleep. The next day comes fast . I open my eyes to see the light coming from the wood floor above me . I go upstairs. Oh I was sleeping in the cargo hold . The sun makes me close my eyes as soon as I get on the boat deck. As soon as my eyes get used to the sun I see a world I didnt expect . It was so wonderful that I wanted to pick my paint brush and just paint. I knew I couldn't so I just wanted to keep this image for later . The harbor was beautiful. In front of the harbor was a huge stretch of water with all the green of the trees. I. Front of me I see a market full of people. With men dressed in long dress colorful head band and long hair . The women even them dresses in colorful dresses . There women with the hair up and women with hair down. This was so colorful and amazing. My instinct makes me want to paint now .but I know I have to wait . We're almost there . So I start to cover my head with the hood and my mouth with a Mask . Principessa Cheonmyeon Cheonmyeong: " It's a nice day for a walk in the market ? Seungman: "True my lady " Principessa Cheonmyeong was the sister of the now crown prince Muyeol. She was bright ,curios and of beautytaht doesn't belong to this Earth. Seungman was her slave . Was her friend and her confident . Seungman:" My lady you know that today they start the process of choosing the crown princess?" Cheonmyeong:" Yes I know . That is why I prefer to take a walk in the market . The palace will be filled of bothersome anxiety" Seungman: " aren't you curios of your future sister in law?" She asks with a look of curiosity in her eyes Cheonmyeong:" No . This is all about politics anyway. So she will be the person they think will do better for the kingdom anyway. I'm not curios on a person who isn't in love and marries for power" Seungman:" how about your brother?" Cheonmyeong:" Unfortunately he doesn't have a choice but to accept the Queens orders and choice so I only pity him" Right in that moment I hit the shoulder of a person. A man .he had his hood on his head and a mask but his eyes are different . Those brown eyes that keep looking at me how I look at him. Seemed that time has stopped in that moment .and my heart stopped. His eyes didn't look like our. He was different .but still my heart was going so fast . Gaius I bumped my shoulder to someone . Then I raised my head and see her. She was very beautiful. Her eyes were a mistic brown her lips were pink .and her face was perfect .In that moment I realized she was the one. My heart was going really fast and time has stopped. This is when everything starts. But I didn't knew how many people I will hurt. And especially I didn't knew she will get hurt most for my actions. The one person who was by my side since I was born . This was the beginning of the most hurtful time I could give her .The beginning of the end. The beginning of a war. And I was at fault to to make her the worst monster. More than she already was. 10 Years Ago Ottavia: " Gaius don't run, you might get hurt. Come I'll show how to properly held the sword." Gaius:" I want to play and draw . I don't need to learn how to held the sword." Ottavia:" You need to know . For your safety. I won't be always there with you . And you know our position. We always have to be careful. Please Gaius!" Gaius:" You can do whatever you want ,but I will travel the world. I'm not interested in politics" Ottavia:" You think I like to have blood on my hands or to be always on alert? It's not my choice and neither your" Gaius:" My life is my choice . Yourself is enough for the responsibility" Gaius POV I saw her eyes look sad. I knew she didn't want the responsibility. I even knew she did it for me. We are in an era where wars are daily .kings change with a snap of fingers and weak die in matter of seconds. Still I had decided to go against everyone and everything and do what I wanted to do. Travel the world, paint and enjoy my life . But the price was my sister innocence.
