Interlude: 왕 (The King)
639 Words
Sight seeing his kingdom was one the greatest feeling for a king. But he's not one of those.
And he definitely don't want to call himself a king without getting what he really wanted.
He's just about to start with what he's planning for years.
He boasted as he looks at the man who botched som of his plans to take over the place.
"How lame." He told himself. He's just a kid who is not aware how vicious the world is, he thought.
For most, he rather take people's lives than pretend to be a good sheep. "But pretending isn't bad, ain't it?" He asked himself. That's the thing that put him to where he is right now.
If only hindrances wouldn't get too mich on his way, some of them may still be living the best of their lives now. Unfortunately, they get too know more of the thing that isn't meant to be told.
"I've done what's needed to be done." He assured himself as he drinks his favorite afternoon tea.
Little did he know that the real tea is yet to come.
He heard a voice from behind.
"Sir, this is the bills we need to pay before the due." Said one of his trusted men.
He don't wanna utter a word after hearing the word bills. He slammed the door and kicked his king size bed just after seeing the papers.
Another reason as to why he didn't want to call himself a king yet. He needs more profit to suffice his needs and to able to bring his empire to its peak.
He smiled. The smile turned into a grin. Grin turned into laughter. His room was filled woth not joy but madness to fill his thirstiness.
Not a cup of tea would quench his now long-term thirst. That person's death warranty is long over due. He needs to step into action.
One day, he woke up real good. He ate the food that he wanted. Drank his favorite cup of tea and do else what makes his day almost perfect.
He then stepped out of his kingdom to see the beauty lies beyond the world. Beauty ruined by the world.
"Gonna do it, before it's too late." He told himself.
When he felt something hit his left foot. He stares at a tiny girl with shoulder length hair.
"Sowwy."
He knelt as his left knee touched the ground.
He observed the child's reaction.
"Why?" He asked the child.
She pointed the foot where the ball landed. He touched and caressed the girl's head.
"Ally!"
Then they heard a female voice calling out someone as they look at the surroundings, they found a woman walking towards them.
"Al- ally! Where did you go? I told you to stay so, why did you run!" The lady uttered reprimanding the child.
He was stunned when he saw the child started crying.
"Mr, sorry for bothering you. Ally's just naughty child." She said talking to him.
His eyes were following them as vanished from his sight. "You were like them," he thought.
"Child's just a child, they're not robot to do whatever the hell you wanted." He clenched his fists and his once peaceful look turned into a mad man giving a bad aura.
"You'll get what you deserved soon, b*tch" he curses still looking from where the lady and the child vanished from, earlier.
He then heard something noisy. He angrily grabbed the cellular phone on his pocket and answered the call.
"Any news?" He asked.
"Done. We got the two of them."
When he realized what the man from the other side said, he flashed a smile and nodded.
"Good."
"Is there something you want us to do?"
"There really is still hope left in the world." He thought.
"Nothing. Leave him to me."
