A young man could be seen sitting on a couch in his room with a golden goblet in his hands filled with wine sipping from it from time to time.
He thought of how his life has been from childhood to adulthood. He had always been jealous of his brother Zor. He felt that Zor had everything while he didn't. Well who said he didn't have what Zor had. He is six feet tall, slender, has a pale skin, heavily built and even handsome and he was still not contented with his features because he felt Zor looked like a god.
While growing up his father had always showed love to Zor while his mother showed love to him more. But he wanted the same love his mother had for him from his father. He and his brother had always train with the royal army and even fought alongside with their father during war on many occasions. He was strong and quick but Zor was far better than him maybe that is why people refer to him as a warrior god because of his fighting skills and the amazing thing is that he had never lost a battle.
Pulled back to reality from his train of thoughts by the knock on the door, "come in".
His mother then walked in and noticed something was wrong and said "my son, what is the matter?"
"I'm fine mother".
"but you don't look fine. Please tell me what the problem is my son".
Giving up on not telling the truth, he said "mother what's so special about my brother?"
The queen surprised that her son was thinking about his younger brother, "is that why you are worried?"
"yes mother. He is so good at everything and I'm not. Do you know how frustrating it is because father always compares me to Zor" he said feeling so angry and dejected.
She began to stroke his back in order for him to be calmed.
"my son what do you want to do about your brother?" said his mother.
Smiling at his mother who was ready to cooperate with him, he said "i want him to vanish".
"That's a tough one my son" his mother said thinking about something.
She drifted to her thoughts thinking about the number of times she plotted killing Zor but they all failed. She even tried poisoning but something will always make him not to take the poison. She remembered how she poisoned his wine during dinner sometime ago but guess what, a clumsy maid accidentally spilled the wine and that was how he escaped poisoning.
After that plan failed, she paid a maiden to seduce him and then kill him but the maiden could not even touch him not to talk of seducing him because he always kept his distance from women. She said to herself that the boy was smart indeed and was like his grandfather.
Yes, Zor was her son but she preferred Zack to him even though he was adopted. She loved Zack more because he was just like her in resemblance and even in thinking.
She said to herself that she must find another means of wiping him from the surface of the earth even if it's the last thing she does before she dies.
She was pulled back to reality by Zack who tapped her after calling her severally and couldn't get a response from her.
"Did you say something son?"
"Yes mother i did."
Smiling to her son, "i think I've figured out the way of eliminating him" she said.
Looking confused, "how mother?"
"Come closer my son so as to tell you my plans".
She began telling him what she had in mind in order to eliminate their target and after she was done explaining her plans to her son, he marvelled at how his mother could come up with such a brilliant plan.
Feeling satisfied, he said "let the game begin".
"yes my son".
