"Merkikh?" Karmon tilted his head, "Like the charred blood king? Why would you name yourself that? Unless your parents really hate you…"
"Charred blood king?" I asked
"Yeah…the king of the burning leaf kingdom. The one who died four years ago…ring any bells?" Karmon said with a sarcastic voice.
"Why is he named that?" I asked.
I have wondered what rumors spread after my death. I knew that my kingdom hadn't loved me, but I wondered what the other kingdoms thought. I would think not very kind things about the damage I'd done to their people and pride.
"He sets homes and even people on fire. He's a ruthless killer who thinks of no one but himself." Karmon said in a monotone speech. It sounded like the kid was reading off a script.
"I see…" I said, hoping my hurt didn't make my voice sound off.
