Theodore Strongblossom is 27 year old guy without any family members. People called him the best lord, and worshipped him like a God. But he thought that people he saved didn't love him no matter what good he did to them. For some reason he'll always think, that they will think badly of him no matter what happened.
The best lord was indeed lonely, and scared of abandonment but that fear was no longer there. When he lost his family members due the plague, his smile changed, his smile has actually never truly returned, and so did his personality. His personality changed drastically. There wasn't the time, when he didn't do something about the people who were doing something against the law of the country that his father was still leading. But not like everyone loved him the way he was, he had enemies and haters that wished him death. The assassin's were everywhere he went. Normally, if something bad happened to the people he cared about there wasn't a minute Theodore would take to mourn the lost ones, there wasn't a minute for tears or even thinking about being sad. No matter what, he'll stand strong. Some would call him cold for killing, some would call him a great leader. But Theodore only heard the bad words and the good ones didn't get to his ears. Theodore was a handsome man, don't find this sentence wrong in any way. People were living without the king for many years and they thought of him as a dead man. Advisors took care of the most things, but there was the betrayal no one wanted to happen. Choosing a new king was hard so, there was no point in choosing one if the country is doing good. That's what they thought in the castle.
Theodore was chosen to be a great monarch and a great king to serve the world, but then after his absence they only left him with one country. His father fought for over 20 countries and got 19, but after Theodore got to be the king he got even more and more countries.
The war was happening, there wasn't a minute for the new king to stop because he didn't want to stop. There was no meaning to stop when no one was waiting for him at his home. But when the world turned upside down, Theodore went alone and the light sucked him into a weird dimension. And he stayed there over twenty years. No matter what he did, he couldn't come back until that one day. For some reason he never aged, not even for one day.
The light got on the earth again and everything went silent. The silence was too loud this time. No one knew what was happening, some questioned, some didn't.
And finally,
The king got back to the country!
The fallen king is finally back!
But he wasn't that happy to be back, or was he actually happy? Theodore kneeled down as his strength was leaving him. For some reason, the light drained all his energy.
He fell down and lost his consciousness.
A little girl that heard stories about the King that left, she heard the stories from the father's friend. She looked outside and started poking her father's arm,
"Father, father— someone's outside!", she exclaimed.
The man went running outside and he had found Theodore, lying on the ground unconscious.
"Is this the old king of our country, father?" - The girl started pučling on the father's clothes and went away to get her father.
Theodore got summoned to his old friend's house, the man was a Duke now, what a coincidence. The friend saw him, and got so shocked that he fell down to his knees.
His friend's name was Mathias of the family Garcia who were friends with the King's family members. Mathias cried and cried, he couldn't believe what he sees, or who he sees.
"Maids, maids...." -Mathias couldn't say anything anymore, he was just crying in despair.
The maids he called finally got to him and one of them said:
"My lord, what's wrong? Did someone attack the mansion?!
OH—",
The three maids got so scared seeing their lord like that. The cold lord who killed anyone, if they were wrong that is.
Mathias just showed them Theodore with his hand and they nooded. Maids got the King up and gave the Duke some water and sugar so that he calms down.
Theodore was sleeping in the guest's room, and they showered him and put in him some new clothes.
After some time Mathias went into the room Theodore was sleeping in and said:
"You are finally back, my lord..."
His wife and children found him crying and tried to make him better but didn't realize what's going on.
He told them everything and they to, started crying.
"Where have you been, my old friend?"
Mathias showed them few pictures and they couldn't believe their eyes.
"He is my friend, and someone I really cared about..."
Then he continued saying to his family:
"I loved him like a brother....No, I love him like a brother. He just vanished. I thought that he was dead.", Mathias after this sentence started crying again and the young girl asked the duke:
"Was he a good fighter, father?", She looked over the sleeping Theodore.
"Not just was he good, he was the best one...", Mathias smiled as he recalled some of his old memories together with the old king that was lost twenty years ago.
"We all searched for him, desparately, but we never found him. Not ever a track of him was left behind. We really thought that he was dead." , Mathias sighed and said to his family members and maids.
"Let's leave him be so that he can rest. I think he needs all the rest of this world." , Then others nodded as he opened the door but stopped and said:
"I wish that someone keeps an eye on him in case he wakes up, and come to me immediately!", Then Mathias leaves and goes to his office as his family members went to their rooms.
Maids start preparing some food in case Theodore wakes up, and then they leave too.
What shall happen to Theodore or the whole country that has no king? A kingless world needs a king, or so they say.
What will happen in the future?
Will Theodore choose to lead something again or will he be doing something else?
That's what we need to find out soon.
