By ancient tradition, this is a week of pleasure, when one forgets their problems and enjoys themselves. And although this event is celebrated in almost every corner of the world, the kingdom of Helligkait has long been the center of the festivities.
Wonderful music will satisfy even the most capricious ear, a festive table overflowing with magnificent delicacies will fill any stomach, endless dancing will keep even the most avid dancers from getting bored, and amazing spectacles prepared by the king and traveling artists will please every eye.
It should be a day of joy, but the idea of inviting anyone who wishes to one's table, while hospitable, can lead to terrible consequences.
The Kingdom of Katarian, long desiring Helligkait's territories and resources, has sent a squad of assassins with the goal of killing the king and sowing seeds of chaos before the start of a full-scale invasion. However, the king should expect knives at his throat not only from enemies without...
The doors to the king's chambers opened unexpectedly and sharply, as if blown open by a hurricane. Two men burst into the room. The king looked up from his desk and glanced at both of them.
— Forgive me, Your Majesty. — one of them blurted out, a guard judging by his attire. — The prince was too insistent.
— It is no matter, leave us.
Prince Reksev von Helligkait had always been distinguished by frightening self-control and cold-bloodedness, but now, perhaps for the first time in his life, his heart blazed with fires of rage.
— You cannot do this, father! — The prince violently struck the king's desk with his fist. — You have no such right; I am your eldest son and legal heir!
— Have you forgotten who you are speaking to, boy? Do not forget, I am still the king, and choosing a successor from among my two sons is within my power.
— Very well, father. — The prince composed himself and returned to his icy calm. — But tell me one thing. Why him?
— The lad... has a heart of gold.
That was enough. The prince silently left the king and returned to his chambers.
