He
sat there, high and mighty on his throne, golden crown placed on his head, and
a drunken smirk upon his face. He looked at the castle around him. A castle of
perfection.
All
around him people did as he requested. He snapped his fingers, a thousand different
plates of food would be offered. He pointed in one direction; they would all
run toward it. He could tell them to commit suicide in front of him, and they’d
do it. Gladly.
Any
and all who opposed him would face that of his queen. She would act as his
mouth. Telling them all off and calling them foolish, then take their words and
spread them incorrectly so that all thought the one who opposed was a fool. He
ruled with an iron fist, not caring who got injured.
He
would order people to do his dirty work. They would call the insults. They
would declare the wars; they would attack like beasts. They would feed upon the
flesh of their enemy like it was a feast from the gods. And he would join them.
It
was never his fault. They would speak for him. They would make sure that he
never got injured. They would die for him, but he would not care. If a pawn lay
dead in front of him, he would stare it down, and laugh. It didn’t matter to
him. Just as long as the job was done, he would sleep just fine. No matter how
many died. After all, the end does justify the means, doesn’t it?
This was his haven. This was his
home. This was his heaven. He wouldn’t have it any other way.
