Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
“My king…you are to do…NOTHING?”
“Yes.”
“BUT…WHAT?! This…This prophecy child is said to dethrone you! Take all that was yours and kill you! This child threatens your power and you are to do nothing!? NOTHING?!”
“Well my dear friend…a wise figure once said that one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it. Destiny, fate, the will of the gods or people call for my downfall when the child is ready, why fight? Why not…let them try.”
“Try?”
“I mean I’m not gonna lay down like a dog and yield but I’m not gonna go out and bite each child I see either. Instead I will wait, observe and see what happens when the so proclaimed time has come…for now I ask that we call off the engagement with Queen Larissa…gods only knows that woman will kill anyone who delivers such news so maybe she can make my death quicker and easier.”
“B-But your majesty, you imply supposedly! So that can mean there’s a chance you could-“
“Better safe then sorry now! I will tell the Queen myself of this news, for now…go.”
“What?! What do you-“
“Go relax…go home and read that book you’ve been telling me about. I will handle the rest.”
“But-“
“That’s an order.”
“Yes…yes your majesty.”
“…Finally….Salvation.”
The king, after hearing the prophecy about a child fated to depose them, decided to just let the events play out without interfering.
