44 In the end(part1)(bonus)

"Betrayal breaks you to your core,

Making your heart hollow, which was once a whole"

King Harold stood in a long hallway of his Castle,staring at the family photograph hung in the centre.

It was when the children were very young, and Angela was not born.

Claire had Charlie in her arms while Eva stood next to him.

He smiled seeing his children's young smiling faces, but when his eyes landed on Claire, it vanished.

His hands tightened into fists and he looked away from her face.

What did he not give her to get rewarded with her betrayal?

Was his love not enough?

Did her hatred for Eva, the only thing that mattered to her?

He loved her, but maybe she never did.

Because you don't hurt the ones you love. Or do you?

He could feel tears in his eyes when he heard his son calling from behind.

"Dad? What happened? Why aren't you ready?"
