“Father!” cried Alfred.

The All-Seeing Eye hovered to one side as the boy rushed to the mirror. He threw himself at the glass, embracing it.

However, the King just stared forward, not betraying a hint of emotion.

“Your son wanted to see you, sir,” purred the Lord Protector.

Still the King said nothing.

“I regret to inform you that your son has been out of his bedroom tonight. We have reason to believe that, like his mother, the boy is in league with the revolutionaries.”

“THAT’S NOT TRUE!” protested Alfred. “FATHER! FATHER! PLEASE! YOU MUST BELIEVE ME!”

“What would you like me to do with him, sir?”

Alfred beat his fists on the glass.

BASH! BASH! BASH!

“FATHER! PLEASE! LISTEN TO ME! I BEG YOU!”

The King looked at his son. Alfred met his stare. He was desperate to see something in his eyes. Love. Kindness. Pity. Anything. But there was nothing. Nothing at all. Just a cold deathly stare.

“T-t-take the boy…” began the King.

“Yes?” encouraged the Lord Protector.

“T-t-take the boy to the Tower.”

The Lord Protector smiled, and flicked the switch. In an instant, the King was gone.

“NOOOOOOO!”

screamed Alfred.
