The Prouds; A Novel

(LAITHTAHER) #1

  • Laith Taher 75


Commander Reid, who had always been tough, was
sad because of that. Yet, he would accept anything the king
did.




Heather’s murder was like a skilled thief who stole
happiness and mercy from the king’s heart. It was a dark
cloud covering all the beauty in the universe, so that the
eyes of the lover king could not see it any more.
The people of Widea began to fear him and made
sure they never made him angry because that good kind-
hearted king was replaced with an angry one seeking
revenge, with all of his strength.
Finding Frederick became his only obsession,
which deprived him of sleep.
I will never rest until I find Frederick. I will never
rest until I kill your murderer, Heather, was what he kept
thinking.
Days went by and Widea’s soldiers kept searching
for Frederick everywhere without success. As time went
by, Commander Reid sent bigger brigades with more
soldiers without success, because looking for one man in
that vast world was like looking for a needle in a huge pile
of hay. Frederick had prepared for a very long journey
months before killing the queen. He had planned a long
time ago to kill her, and he was only one man and could
move much faster and easier than soldiers in numbers.
Therefore, he disappeared forever like sand dispersed by
the wind.
After a long time, the king realized that it was
impossible to find Frederick and felt very furious.
