CHAPTER 127
URIZEN LIGHTED a cigar and stared at the prince who was looking at him in terror.
— I don't know what I did to you, but we can talk — tried to argue the unsuccessfully.
— You damn well know what you did, covered up Ball and allowed him to do all those atrocities, with poor innocent children… for several years, including for my sister and me.
— I did not know that.
— Didn't you know? Of course I didn't... you guys pretend you never know anything, so why are you there? Why lead the country?
— You would not understand...
— Are you going to tell me there's a noble reason to cover for a man like Peter Ball?
— There is no nobility in trying to hide a crime, there are always games of political interests and certainly royalty is responsible for their actions, the question is another.
Urizen clapped his hands.
— Exactly! You have no idea what it's like to have an adult's penis, penetrating a child who has no idea what's going on. All he knows is that he's hurting him, on a whim, and that can't be called pleasure, it's too far gone.
— I know...
— I always admired you, because you always seemed like a fish out of water in that damn family, everyone saw in you the change that the country needed, the humility that emanated, the perfect marriage with the perfect woman, everyone wanted to be the Prince of Wales for a moment.
— It's too heavy a burden that not everyone is willing to carry.
— And are you willing to carry it?
— I have no other option.
— We always have the option of carrying the burdens that are imposed on us, deep down you like being who you are, because you never did anything to change that.
Silence reigned.
— No one should carry it, that's why we have to do away with the royal family.
The Prince looked at him strangely.
— Congratulations, you are the chosen one to put an end to all this.
