980 Chapter 980: The Divine Will
"Father, where are we going?"
The Prince walked through the dark hallway. This was the first time his father was bringing him to such a place.
Even though this was a closed space, the Prince still felt cold, as if he could feel freezing winds coming from the other side.
"Karyk, are you a grown up?" The King did not answer his son. Instead, he asked him a question of his own.
"I am," the Prince answered. He was always treated like a child, never even allowed to leave the Palace. But this time, he wanted to tell his family that he was a grown up. He could protect himself.
"In that case, are you willing to carry your responsibility?" The King asked. Instead of slowing down, he only walked faster, forcing the Prince to keep up with him.
"Responsibility?" The Prince did not understand what his father was talking about. What responsibility did he have?
"You are a Prince. Your shoulders carry the responsibility that might shape the future of this Kingdom. Will you carry that responsibility?" The King asked.
The Prince still didn't understand clearly. Was his father asking him to protect his people when the time came?
"I will. As a Prince, I will carry the responsibility and protect my people!" he stated. "Even if that means you might have to sacrifice your life? Even if it means that you will have to accept your death? Even if it means that you will never see your father and mother again? Will you still accept this responsibility?"
Without thinking twice, the Prince agreed. "Father has carried this responsibility. How can I stay behind? Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will protect my people!" "Good."
The King didn't say anything else. Still, the silence only became scarier. The King could feel his son's grip on his hand getting tighter. He could feel that his son was getting scared, but he didn't react.
After a long time, the King stopped before a black door.
"Remember the words you said. This is all... for our people. This is all for the Kingdom."
