Chapter 6 - A look into the past

A look into the past I remain paralyzed, but although I know that answering will only bring me consequences, my tongue itches and that I want to, even if I want, I cannot stop what I am going to say -I think I should stop listening to other people's conversations and interpreting in your own way is very rude And without waiting for an answer I turn and at a fast pace I arrive next to my parents 30 minutes after many goodbyes, my family, the guest and I were finally at home surrounded by the palace servants, who were waiting at any order from my parents Froilán: Robert, please prepare a bedroom for Prince Rajib who is going to spend a few days with us Robert: at your command your majesty Froilán: Robert I forgot to tell you that it must be in the east wing And those are the words that definitely end up dislodging me in the east wing there are only my parents' bedrooms and mine the guest area is in the west wing, but if the butler felt any trace of surprise I hide it very well, Well, he only bowed and dedicated himself to preparing what was ordered by my father, so I wait and retain the flow of questions that now run through my mind until the last servant leaves the place and only we remain -Why father, what the hell is going on and you don't dare tell me nothing? Froilán: nothing happens, only those are the most comfortable rooms in the palace -Are you sure father? Froilán: very safe -So much that if I went and used my powers to get the truth out of one of the vipers that are surely waiting for you in the throne room, I would give me the same answer father because you know me and I am perfectly capable of doing it And that's when silence settles between my parents and me, neither of them dares to give me an answer, Brenda: nothing that you have to worry about now my little one because you don't go and show the castle to prince Rajib in what we are going to greet the nobles whom you call vipers -You know I'm not going to stop until I find out, right? Brenda: we know and that's why after dinner at night your father and I will have a conversation with you Froilán: but Brenda, what are you saying? Brenda: It is time Froilán, she is no longer a defenseless girl, but well, it is not time to talk about it, it is time for you to accompany Prince Rajib on a guided tour of the palace Rajib: can you tell me only Rajib majesty I prefer it that way Brenda: these are you can tell me Brenda and no majesty And so my parents turn and head towards the throne room Rajib: well it seems that we are only princess -Well, if Rajib is only us, so fine, what place do you want to visit first? Rajib: you are supposed to be the guide, tell me -Well, I don't know if you like it, but I haven't been to the palace in months and there's a place I'm dying to visit Rajib. Your wishes are orders princess you only need to guide the way -definitely too flattering, come on, it's this way And so five minutes later we are arriving at my inner courtyard of the favorite palace, the smallest also but the only one that is intact from the previous palace, a place that seems to exude history and magic Rajib: I already understand why you wanted to come here it is a very beautiful place Alma -It is despite being the inner courtyard of the smallest palace and the one with the least wealth is also the most beautiful from my perspective maybe because it is the only thing left of the old palace Rajib. The old palace, what does princess refer to? -Don't you know, prince, this palace was built by my parents after the previous one fell? Rajib: no princess I have not heard anything of that according to my sources the palace of the Moon has always been in the same place and it is here -And this is how this has always been the place but this is not the original palace this was built by my parents 30 years ago, although well I suppose from what he tells me that this is not a well-known fact after all it is from the time of Plague Rajib: the plague was not the epidemic that occurred here 35 years ago -the plague was more than an epidemic, but that doesn't matter that's history Rajib: well I would like to hear that story princess -My mother was not the heir to the throne of the Moon Rajib, she had an older brother but he and my grandparents died during the epidemic after the epidemic I stopped with my mother as the heir and in a kingdom like the Moon the people entered In conflict and uprisings they did not wait it was a very dark time sun the strength of my parents managed to unite the planet and that was not free, your highness I can assure you Rajib: I do suppose that after the wedding with your father things were easier -the wedding was the difficult thing, or rather that the wedding was still standing Rajib: Why was it so difficult? -You don't really know, little prince, I suggest you study more interplanetary history one day you are going to have to carry a whole world behind your back and you are going to need your neighbors if you want to fully carry the paper, my parents were engaged before the plague my mother was the second princess of the moon and my father the crown prince of the earth, with the epidemic my mother also became the queen of the moon a kingdom on the brink of war and self-destruction neither of them could have reigned her world approximately 384 400 kilometers from her planet was impossible my mother could not leave the moon the kingdom was destroyed and she was the last descendant of the royal house that is why my father resigned the throne of the earth and gave it to my cousin Rajib: but that is crazy, no heir of any planet has ever renounced the crown that is a scandal the reason we rule is because our bloodline is linked to the elemental power of our worlds, we are its guardians and while the heir He lives no matter where he is in the universe or if the crown is his or not, the power will be linked to him -I know everyone knows it but my father resigned and my uncle became king and nobody talks about it, and since my father resigned the crown is his and he has never had problems controlling the planet Rajib: but the main source keeps flowing towards your father no matter what people think or if they don't talk about it, they can't change the laws that govern the universe -I don't know, only my father does it and I advise you that if you want to maintain your fiscal integrity, do not mention this issue to him Robert: princes at the end of the meetings, I come to tell you that Prince Rajib's room is already ready, it is the fourth of the purple room on the east wing, do you need Prince Rajib to take it? -Thank you Robert, I'm sorry I made you walk so much and no, the prince doesn't need it, I'm still going in the same direction. Robert: your highness is nothing and now if you will excuse me I am withdrawing My old butler turns around and that's when I stop him -Robert Robert: Yes, your highness? -It's a pleasure to see you old friend again and stop walking so much, send someone else, you are no longer of that age My butler smiles and bows to me and continues on his way -Good little prince, I think the rest of the meeting tomorrow is time for everyone to go to their room and prepare for dinner Rajib: as you like, but know that you are still going to have to finish telling me the story of the castle -I know, you don't seem like the type to give up easy, but now if we go follow me 10 minutes later we are already reaching the corridor where his room is Rajib. Wow, purple wasn't metaphorical, so whoever came up with painting the hallway purple -Well, it actually went to Alara and me after all, it's our favorite color Rajib: and they had to paint just the guest wing, they couldn't do it, I don't know in your rooms princess -That's the funny thing, little prince, how many rooms has this sector of the palace, look around you Rajib: well I think only four according to what I have counted -exactly, the first is Alara's when he comes to visit, the second is Julián's and the one opposite is my room, we paint it purple, the little prince because this is our hall
