"Your majesty, you sent for me," ken bows.
"Have you seen General Alan today?" I question as I sit.
"No, your majesty, I haven't seen him for the past two days, "ken replied.
"What?!!!, aren't you the gatekeeper, how come you didn't see him leaving the palace?," I queried, feeling uneasy.
"I didn't see him leave the palace,"
"This is unusual for Alan," I wondered.
"Don't you think the beast has eaten General Alan?" ken lilted.
"Nope, I didn't e...., is that what you think?,"
"Yeah, that's what I think, your highness ".
"Alan is not an ordinary man that a beast will just kill without a struggle or fight, he is a General, I don't think so "I quavered, ken remained silent.
"You can leave now," I shrugged and ken left immediately.
Where in earth could Alan have gone to without informing me, this is damn strange, Alan will never leave the palace without informing me, something is wrong, what could be wrong, now that I needed someone to share my problem with, the only person I can trust is Alan, no one else, now Alan is nowhere to be found, even Ivan, went for a mission, that is two people I trust, Ivan won't be back until next week, Alan is nowhere to be found.
They think you're always smiling, and they want to be like you because you are always smiling, but they know not that you have a pain inside and the battle you fight just to smile, the pain you feel that your lips know nothing about because it's always smiling.
Wow, look at emperor Vishnu, he is so cute and handsome, and he is always smiling, he got money, super rich, they don't know that I have problem money can't solve, my riches are in vain, it is worthless, even my cuteness couldn't chase the problem away, damn my cuteness is a waste, it is useless, every damn thing I have is useless.
Who cast this spell on me? What have I done to deserve all this? Was it my parent's fault? Who cursed me?
That's the question I have been asking myself for a long time, but I got no reply and that hurts and angers me, all I want for now is death, I don't deserve to be alive,
I've killed innocent people, each time I remember that, it hurts me and my heart bleeds badly, I wish I could change destiny, now Alan is missing, I don't even know if I was the one who killed him, I cry blood, I can't even cry like a normal human, I cry blood, why does it have to be me, an emperor for that matter, a king, damn I am supposed to protect my people not kill and eat them.

"Alan is missing!!!." I whispered as I sat beside Helen.
"How is that possible?" Helen asked.
"I don't know, maybe the emperor as killed and feed on him as usual. "I implied as Helen looked at me disdained.
"Hmm, I don't know what to say. "Helen retorted as she stood up like she was going to leave, but she sits, pissed out already.
"We are no longer safe, for Alan the General to be missing, a strong warrior like Alan, there are a lot of things we don't know, it strange and scary, frighten, sad and unbelievable that General Alan is missing, what is the emperor doing about it. "Gina lamented as she wiped her tears with the back of her palm , it really hurt.
"Nothing as usual, emperor Vishnu is a demon emperor, he kills without mercy, he only comes out at night because he knows that no one will see him, and the person will be wholly helpless due to fear, and in the morning he pretends to be a nice person, a person with a golden heart, but within he knows himself, so devilish and wicked, that man as to pay, he must pay for the innocent blood he as sucked." I reprimanded as I wanted to touch Gina who was already crying, but she moved away, not wanting me to touch her.
"Damn, I don't know what to say, I'm confused, I still don't believe emperor Vishnu is evil and wicked, it a lie, I don't believe, I can't believe it." Gina mourned as Helen had no choice than to stand up and went to console her.
"That's because you're probably in love with him, his cuteness and everything has blinded everyone that they can't even see the red flag, he is a demon emperor, it is better you all are careful as you might be the next." I advised, but it seems like I was wasting my time and hurting them the more.
"Ken can you just stop saying that, can you just stop calling him a demon emperor for cry out loud, he is killing people doesn't mean he is demonic, he is the emperor and is entitled to do whatever he wants, besides emperor Vishnu isn't someone who kills anyhow, it is unclear to me why, but I have these feelings that all is not well, something is definitely wrong, he needs help not criticism, sometimes you have to put yourself in someone else shoes, so you can understand how the person is feeling, " Helen concluded as Gina nod, it was then I realize it was useless talking to Them because they won't still believe me no matter the things I say to them, they believe so much in their so-called emperor Vishnu.
"Damn, the both of you, it is useless talking to you both, you both are just too blind to see, I live in the palace, so I know what's going on, you both are just stupid and the quicker you understand, the better it is for you cos the feelings you have for the emperor is a waste ,because Vishnu can never love someone like you, so stop wasting your heart beat for someone who is not hearing it and doesn't care." I criticized, slamming the table with my fist.
"So that's what you think, well, it not your fault, I shouldn't be here having a conversation with a backstabbing bastard like you, you can only say this here, you can't say it in the presence of the emperor, you are a backstabber, a bad person, you don't deserve to be in the palace," Gina shouted menacingly.
"I guess it useless coming here, "I raged.
"Yeah, because it is a bad and false news, "Helen fumed as I left angrily.
Everyone is damn stupid and blind, poor them, and I promise I will review it for you all.
