Chapter 3 - A Bad Example of a Woman

In Lionel's room the heartless son of the Royal king of Sartre who was gossiped to have never fallen in love woke up to a bright morning he dressed up in his Royal robe and walked out of his room. Good morning your highness said the one of the guards. He just walked past him like he didn't hear the guard greetings. Your highness the king calls for you said the guard. Where is he asked Prince Lionel. In the royal chamber your highness. Lionel walked past the guard without bothering to look back at him.

LIONEL

I walked into my dad's chamber and sat right next to him. I don't know why but I just have this satisfied feeling anytime am with him ever since mom died he has been the best dad ever i love him beyond words and that's why I love to follow what ever he tells me I know I had no other way to pay him back than to do what ever he wants from me I love him so much and even while mom was alive I did prefer him a hundred times. Good morning dad.

Good morning son how are you. Am fine dad you called for me. Yes I did it's about my friend. What about him. You are few years to thirty my son and you are getting older as each day passes your mom is dead Lionel and you need a woman in your life.

Ooh come off it dad I already told you am not getting married I don't want to marry. What the heck are you saying you are my only child and I want grandchildren what is wrong with you Lionel why do you hate women so much remember your mom was a woman.

If we should look at mom life history she was a bad example of a woman or have you forgotten how she cheated on you for more than ten years have you forgotten how she treated you have you forgotten how she abandoned me to the maids when I was a baby have you forgotten how hard we both fought for mom's love but what did she do to us she left us abandoned us and ran to another man until few years to her death she ran back here because she needed money to take care of her dying body dad have you ever wondered why I haven't brought a lady to you as a wife, that's because I don't want what happened to you to also happen to me mom lifestyle taught me that women are two faced sided she taught me never to fall in love with a woman dad I don't want to have a wife like mom no I don't want to. But you can't stay unmarried forever. I looked at dad and smiled how can he say that when I already made up my mind that am not getting married so how is it possible I can't maintain my decision am not getting married and that's final.

Dad I can live with it. No you can't Lionel haven't you ever fallen in love. I knew that question was a bit odd but who cares I am never going to get married so why feel private about it. Dad no I haven't fallen in love with any lady and I won't ever get to fall in love with any lady out there I prefer to be alone and different than be a lady like mom.

But not all ladies are like your mom. Really? Dad really how on earth do you know.. then why didn't you remarry it wasn't because you didn't want to you had two other wives after mom died but what did they do they left you after they acquired what they wanted come on dad even if someone is to advice me on marriage it shouldn't be you because your marriage relationship has been a hell and I don't want that for myself so please dad let's forget all about marriage stuff and solve out something important.

After I was done speaking I saw the pain and discomfort in dad's eyes I knew I reminded of his past I knew I reminded him of what mom did to him he really really loved mom I can attest to that he showered her with all what he had his wealth, his love his care his everything but what did that devilish woman use to pay him back tears, sorrow, regret and pain she's evil and I always regret she's my mom I wish she wasn't the one to give birth to me I wish she wasn't the one dad fell for I wish she wasn't married to dad I wish I had a better mom I always wish I could do something to stop the pain dad feels everyday I just wish I... I...I.. Could do something but of course I know I can't am useless as she always tells me she looks at me in my face and all what would come out of her mouth was the word useless she doesn't love me am sure of that I hate her I hate her so much!

Lionel are you alright. Yes dad I am it's just.... just thinking of something else I would see you later dad I have some things to attend. Alright I would make my way to the palace my son but don't forget what I talked to you about. Alright dad I won't.

GUARD EZAR

When I was sure Prince Lionel has left for the King's Royal chamber I quickly opened the door of his room and hurriedly walked in. I had no other option what else can I do my only son is laying lifeless in the hospital I can't bear to lose him and I would make sure I don't lose him I know how hard I fought to have a child I know how hard I suffered before I got a child ( Sobs ) and now death is ready to take him away like he worth nothing never I won't let that happen I would make sure I pay for the surgery so I won't lose my son. I searched everywhere for almost an hour without the thought of giving up when I suddenly found the solution I was looking for behind a hidden drawer were new bundle of currency I quickly picked it and while I was about to dip it into my pocket the door flunk open.
