Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Meanwhile at Brutus' castle....

"Father why are you punishing me I'm your son but most importantly I'm a man. Only women get punished why am I?" Brutus said to his father in a frightened voice

"Hush now I do not care you betrayed your brother by flirting with his wife" the king said back to his son

"But all she got was a slap why being thrown out of your castle why do I have to go through the same punishment if I'm a guy. What even am I father?" Brutus said to his father in a angry but confused tone.

"If you really want to know I will tell you before you leave, I am punishing you because you are not my son."

The king explained to Brutus everything. Why his mother wasn't here and who he was. The reason was because there mother cheated on the king with satan he said they fell in love when she was wondering in a bright green field by a pond, he would talk to her through it and they would connect when she dipped her arm in it to grab his.

While this was happening Gerard was only two years old and was supposed to be an only child till one night the queen went wondering by the pond again when she heard a faint whisper at a nearby house that sat beneath a tree and she followed it inside. The whisper was still there and told her to lie on the bed. He was a perfect gentlemen and he cared about her so much. She was special and not like the others for she excepted who he was and with her consent they started to make love to one another.

When the king found out he sentenced her to death. But before she died she told the king that she was pregnant which postponed the sentencing for nine months until the child was born. After he was the queen was quickly escorted to the sentencing were she had rocks first thrown at her and then hanged followed by her being burned.

The only thing the king didn't know was the vow her and satan made before she died. It was that they would live with one another forever in hell were she will be his wife and he will be her husband.

The king explained to Brutus that he was the seed of satan and his mother Julia.

"You see son your mother was a rotten and dirty whore who cheated on me with satan a disgusting and wicked person"

"She didn't deserve to die" Brutus said to his father while his voice began to crack with sadness

"Why then why did you keep me?"Brutus asked his father while his tears began to fill his eyes.

The king didn't answer but the reason why he kept Brutus was mainly for money and fame to have a son like no other. And it would be nice for the king to have someone else to boss around instead of his real son.

And just like that the guards came to take Brutus and throw him out of the castle. He landed with his face in the grass and his mouth filled with dirt. Something came over him and he stopped crying when a wave of rage and anger filled his soul, his fiery red eyes became darker and darker. He got up, took a horse and left.
