Part 2: A Tale of Two Princes

Chapter 1: Two Fateful Encounters and a Parting Omen

“Let’s take a short break, shall we? I’ll prepare some tea.”

The middle-aged teacher pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. He left the room with a pained look in his eyes. When the door had closed behind him, Olivier slumped across his desk.

Last week marked the start of Olivier’s royal education, but there had been little, if anything, in the way of progress. It wasn’t that the young Olivier was a poor student—rather, his heart simply wasn’t in it. He found it difficult to focus, and half a day was the very best he could manage.

“Brothers... Mother...”

Olivier’s two brothers, both of whom he looked up to, were gone. His gentle mother was now bedridden, leaving Olivier and his father all alone.

Olivier’s eldest brother was sharp and intelligent. He was exactly what everyone thought he would be—his father and grandfather were praised for being wise kings, after all. Olivier’s second brother—the middle child of the three princes—showed a startling potential for both study and the military arts. Everybody believed that Storydia’s future was in safe hands, but then, just as Olivier was about to turn nine, that future crumbled to pieces.

First it was the eldest son, who was on the way home from an inspection when his ship was caught in a storm in the Storydian seas. The ship had suffered terrible damage and ran aground. Medical support and a search party were readied in haste, but no survivors were discovered, only a few bodies—Olivier’s brother among them. The funerals for the majority of those who’d perished in the accident were held with closed, empty caskets.

Then, before even two months had passed, Olivier’s second brother lost his life in an accident—falling from his horse on the way to pay his respects to his elder brother. The way he landed left the young man comatose, and by the end of the day, he had breathed his last.

The nation was still reeling from the loss of the crown prince, and now, all of a sudden, the one who would have been next in line was also gone. Naturally, many suspected foul play. However, a thorough examination revealed that this was not the case. Though he was a skilled horse rider, even one as steadfast as the second prince had been shaken by the loss of the brother he held so dear. This was not a surprise—he was but fifteen years of age, and still just a boy. Lost in thoughts of his older brother, he had not been ready for the bird that had flown by, and it’d caused him to lose his balance and fall.

The misfortunes only continued. Olivier’s mother had tried to stay strong at the loss of the crown prince, but she could not bear the weight of losing another son while she was still mourning the first. She became paranoid, manic about making sure that nothing happened to Olivier—her last remaining child—and was
