In a vast empire named Goya, four kingdoms existed in it. The story focuses on Rafera kingdom.
King Dre was the ruler of the Rafera kingdom. He has been king since the demise of his father, he was feared and respected. He was called the neutral king. The reason for the nickname was because the people never lacked anything during his reign, he always passes fair judgment to the poor, but one thing about him was that he was a careless killer. He's like a lion; when his tail is stepped on, you won't even get a chance to explain yourself. Lives were lost, even that of the guilty and the innocent.
King Dre had just one queen who bared him two sons but king Dre had three sons. How ?????
When king Dre was still a young king, he had an affair with servant; ignoring his newly weeded wife. He'll call the servant anytime he needed her and he'll have his way with her. She was very beautiful with a long hair and alarming blue eyes.
The young servant couldn't complain to anyone about what the king does to her. She was an orphan; even the privileged can't fight against the king, talk more of an orphan.
Meanwhile the king had promised his late father that he would have just one wife, and no concubines. Dre's father had just one wife and she bared just one son, who was Dre.
King Dre's father was raised in a polygamous family, and he went through a lot. That's the reason he didn't get into polygamy, and also urged his son to follow his steps.
King Dre fell for the servant the very first time he saw her, he had tried so much to control the fervor, but she was just more than beautiful.
King Dre had so many naughty nights with her, so many, until she finally got pregnant. She told him about it, and it got him flustering. He couldn't allow his name fall down the mud, thus he gave her so much money, askiy her to leave Rafera.
Ere leaving; she was forced to take an oath, that she or her child will never return to Rafera. Without hesitation, she took the money and ran away from the kingdom.
Months later, there was a child at the gate of the king's castle; a bold note was placed on his little body "He is king Dre's son" so it said.
Everyone in the castle was so surprised, but to be a servant in the castle, one have to act blind, else you wished for death.
Fortunately for king Dre; the queen just gave birthed a son, thus he made it seem like she birthed twin sons, to keep the secret. The priest already confirmed that he was Dre's son. The secret was supposed to be taken to the grave, so he told everyone who heard it.
Queen Zenith raised both children as twin, she was very hurt, that the responsible king had cheated on her.
It was mysterious why the servant didn't keep her promise.
The birth of the illegitimate son was very difficult. He was born in the day, as early as 3pm, but the sky was dark as the night. It was a remarkable day in the whole Goya empire; unknown to them that it was the spirit of the beast, possessing a child.
Three years later, the queen gave birth to twin children for real this time; a boy and a girl, making the first lie to seem true,
To king Dre, he had just three children, he had never treated the servant's child as his.
The young prince had fallen ill when he was seven, a strange illness that no one could understand. When he sneezed, the whole castle vibrates.
The high priest had confirmed that he was a cursed child, his was body accommodating the spirit of a beast, and that was something king Dre also kept from his subjects. He couldn't possibly kill him.
Seeing the servant's child always reminds queen Zenith that her husband had cheated on her. Their actions towards the little boy was different, making the children understand that he was odd. His so called twin brother, will always call him an unwanted fly anytime they argued, and they'll would all laugh at him.
He once got angry and almost choked his brother to death, but that action almost cost him his dear life. He was thrown into the dungeon for days, without food or water. He suffered so much that he became coy, also constricting his strength.
