Love Your Servant

It is very strange how my life is managed by my parents, who are of royal blood if you must know. Yes, they are the king and queen of Azaelus, and I am the young prince…heir to the throne.

I live in an absurdly large castle, yet I am locked in my own chamber. Sadly I am considered a prisoner of my own home, according to my dear cousin Sora.

My very dull teacher Zexion comes into my room everyday to teach me about the outside world, royalty, how to be polite to nobles, and such…Unlike normal children, I am taught in my own home instead of at a school. Therefore I am secluded from the town and have no friends.

Sometimes I wonder what I would feel if I stepped out of this castle. What would it be like to frolic in those lush fields of grass? What would it be like to touch snow for the first time? How many friends could I make in a lifetime? These thoughts of mine have never been spoken. I dreamed about every scenario though.

Mother and Father would rather see me isolated, unfortunately. But it isn’t as though I would be badly influenced by outsiders! That is how I see it at least. Then again I never had the chance to experience that. Only a few people were able to influence me.

I have only ever met noblemen, who I am to assume, are my friends. Otherwise they were merely children of my parent’s acquaintances.

Ah, it must be odd that I have a fiancée even though I am sixteen years of age. I curse this fate every bloody day. How can I not even choose my own beloved?

Yes, I, Roxas Feyanska Azaelus Edward have a fiancée. And no I do not dislike her unusual behaviour, I loathe it. As a cousin I still love her, as I am obligated to. However, we are betrothed. We are to act as the most admirable couple in the kingdom every day until our lives come to an end.

She dotes on me all the bloody time though. She clings onto my arm whenever she comes to visit me! The worst part is I cannot hide when she visits and I live in a castle for goodness sakes! I can never love her the way she does me. How can I ever tell her that when she smiles ever so brightly in my presence? Nothing can ever change if Mother and Father control my future!

I suffocate every single day. I smile and feign happiness for those around me, just as I had been taught. But I wish for compensation.

For once I just want to be myself and not act like the prince of some kingdom I know so little about. Just once I wish someone would make me feel alive, special even.

What I didn’t realize though, was that my servant was going to be that someone.
