Chapter Three - Haunted By Guilt

The chapter starts off with Sir George sitting on a chair as he closes his eyes, crying. Suddenly someone knocked on his door, before someone speaks on the other side

"Its me, father" Sir George slowly looks at the direction of the sound

Which he hears a laughter, that sounded like Guy's father. Suddenly a hand appears behind his back. He looks to see who it was and the candles in his room starts to get blown by a powerful wind, too strong for him to handle. Scared for his life, he tried his best not to scream. Hearing whispers everywhere. A face of Guy's mother appeared right on Sir George's face, as it does so, he hears the Big Ben toll as if he is close to it, though his castle is far from where it stands.

"Not today, not today," He said to himself, as he closes his eyes, but the more he forces to close it, the more violent the wind gets inside his room.

"You deserve to die!!" An unknown entity suddenly takked and opened his eyes forcefully

And is Guy's mother, looking very angry that is a soul who didn't rest, for a long time

Her face, starts to get pale, as the mirror shatters and he gets thrown everywhere the room

"Stop it Palia!!!!" He said in a frightened manner, with tears starts to drop in his eyes once more. Which he stands up on his feet, not afraid of her anymore. He walked by the shattered glass on the ground, barefeet, trying to navigate his way

"I know, you are hurt..." He said in a calm manner, before someone opens the door as a young man points a gun to Sir George, but he is not showing his face

"What are you doing in my room. Your Majesty" He looks up and is a doppelganger of himself, laughing at the shocked face of Sir George

Then he snapped back to reality as he sees Guy, trying to remove

A while earlier, as Guy is processing what he had just said, he wanted to talk to him about what he feels

So he followed Sir George and that is when he hears him lashing in anger. For a few minutes, it has gone quiet. Young Guy, was curious so knocks on the door

Which he said "Hi, its me, Your Majesty" to which Sir George suddenly blurted out on the other side of the door "W- who are you?! Its okay, its okay"

Guy continues to knock more "Hello?" His gentle voice startles the king, inside which Guy starts to hear him running from the other side of the door

Guy knocks one more time and again and again "Are you okay, Your Majesty?" He said in a concerned voice, before he starts to bang the door

But fails to get the attention of Sir George, so he goes downstairs to the servants. Feeling tired, he catched his breath before saying

"Sir George is in trouble inside- I- I can't explain it. Just follow me!" He said. Hurriedly, Maria one of Sir George's servant, holds out a key, she nods before following him upstairs, as well as the other servants of Sir George

They then began to bang the door, with their effort to get his attention. Sir George then let out a blood-curdling scream, as they hear objects being thrown in the room, before, Maria, opens the door with the key she is holding

And then she kicked the door open... The first thing she saw was Sir George looks very disheveled as his hair is messy and there are wine in his royal clothes. Maria gasps at the sight, with the servants of Sir George and Guy goes inside the room to help him, but as they were gonna touch his hands

He suddenly screams "Leave me alone, Palia!! Leave me the fuck alone"

Guy immediately knew that name, a memory came rushing down for a second in his mind. About his mother who used to be very close with Sir George, and remembered those arguments his parents had, because of an alleged affair between his mother and Sir George were the talk of the town in London

It became heated, Sir George had performed an execution to those who wanted to destroy his name, Guy was not there, but he had heard it somewhere, which he doesn't think much of it, not only after Sir George mentioned his mother's name Palia

Guy then snapped back to reality, and focused on helping Sir George, but he gets violent every time someone touches him

"Stay back, stay the fuck back!!" He shouts multiple times, and his eyes are now wide shut

Before he slurs and his movements are sort of drunk-like as he falls on the ground, which he passed out, due to the impact of his head hitting it. After a few hours has passed, he finds himself in a bed with a rope tied to his hands

He then sees Guy suddenly appeared as he blinked and is creating a medicine, that is color red, then he injects it onto the left eye of Sir George, as he holds down the rope in case, he moves

"Shut up!!" He said to Sir George before he disappeared and so does everything around him

He then wakes up from this nightmare, which he is all sweaty and scared. He goes outside his room and bumps into Guy who is gonna bring him tea

"Oh hi" Guy said before, the glass of wine got broken and Sir George sees a glimpse of himself smiling

Before a hand touches his shoulders in the back, with a sound of a gun being cocked by someone and he slowly turns around and sees Guy all grown up now

"You are my real father?" He says in a sad tone, before he shoots the ceiling of the castle

Guards start to surround him, which has faces of himself surrounding Guy as he desperately shoots all of them by himself as he moves backwards to avoid being attacked

He suddenly falls and wakes up for real this time, he starts to cry as what he had gone through in his dream, constantly haunting him as due to the fact, his relationship with Guy's mother is illegal and evil that could potentially ruin their lives if it had gone public. Guy overhears what Sir George is saying in the room as he is gonna bring him tea after he had passed out due to his mental breakdown earlier "I am sorry son... I am sorry" he said to himself, and then Guy opens the door and Sir George said, "Guy, my son..." Just as Guy opens the door and enters the room
