You were cleaning the blankets when your son came running, pushing you by the hand towards the entrance of the village.

— Mama, mama! Come see. – he said enthusiastically, making you walk faster as you wondered what it could be. Last time he did that, you found a hidden nest of tiny blue birds.

— Raoul, slow down. – you said, worried that he would fall or hurt himself on the way, but the boy was impossible. There wasn't an argument that could be used to stop him from something. He was brave like..

Both of you came to a stop when you arrived in the square, a small crowd formed around something, shouting happy.

Four years had passed since you saw the bastard. The words still fresh in your mind, but so was the pain that followed his absence. Month after month waiting for him to come back, but when two springs had passed you tried to convince yourself that he was dead. That was the only logical explanation. Yet there he was, standing in front of look like the time hadn't passed, the same deep blue eyes that made your knees go weak, this time only brought you anger.

— But that was the king, mama. – he pounded, big eyes with the color of a stormed sea gazing sadly between you and the ruler. — I wan..

— Stay away from him, you hear me? – you kneeled in front of him, drawing his attention to you.

You wouldn't commit another mistake, your son won't suffer like you did. Things were fine the way it is and shall keep this way.
