Weekly Fantasy: Crown's Plight

By: Sophia Los


(Please note I make all these stories up)


They said there was a war, a war so bad that the kingdom almost collapsed. It was said that the people leading the war were twins, and they were on opposite sides. My father is one of those twins, but I don't believe he is my father, they never said it but I think he is under a spell put on him by the nobles. The rotten nobles that get whatever they want, sometimes I think he breaks out of the spell but is put under immediately again. I have to flee the capital for fear they will put me under it as well, now let me introduce myself my name is Stepan Canmore, and I am the current crown prince. My fifteenth birthday is coming up and I fear that I will soon be put under the spell. Tonight I plan to run from the castle and escape, I have been practicing in secret and am now strong enough to take on some middle tier monsters, as long as my escape goes as planned ever thing should be fine. I grab my wand and start chanting, the rough translate into English should be 'copy Stepan Canmore,' That should hold for around halfway through the night.

Knock Knock Knock,"Sir, his highness requests you presence in his office." I widen my eyes, that is not a request, it is demand. Do they plan to start tonight?

"I will be there momentarily" I calmly speak, there is a high chance it is a spy, I can't afford to have even a hitch in my voice, this is how you survive in the royal family. The moment the servant's footsteps fade away I quietly open the window and cast levitation magic slowly floating to the ground. I glance around to check my position, and the location of the guards and cast a simple invisibility spell before anyone notices me. Before I left I made to make it look like I had died, I tossed out some of the water from my glass and moved my clone to make it look like "I" had passed out, just by the servant coming I had to change my plans. I hopped the gate using enhancement magic and made my way out of the capital and into the nearby low leveled magic forest. Just before I went into the forest I looked back at the castle, knowing that now I am just a ordinary person and I have to get stronger and reclaim the throne for the sake of all the innocent people in the kingdom.
