We stay on the balcony talking about our lives. Here with him makes me forget my problems for some time.

But this is only for a short while because he asks a question that I don't want to answer.

"You never told me what happened to your father."

I decide to make him loose interest instead of rejecting. "It's a long and complicated story. Trust me you don't want to listen to it."

But my plan backfires. "That's alright. We have plenty of time. I want to know."

"Fine." I give in. We sit on chairs and I start the miserable story about my father's life.

"My father was a normal father. He was just like all others. He would tuck me in at night and drop me off at school. We used to go out for family dinners and celebrate birthdays. Basically, we led a normal life. But then when I was around sixteen he started coming home late and he started acting wierd around us."

"What do you mean by wierd?" He asks me.

"He kind of ignored us. What really showed that something was wrong was that on my parent's wedding anniversary that year, mom made this lavish dinner for him but he didn't even show any sign of affection towards her. He ate it like any normal dinner and went to bed."

"But you said that he was executed. How did that happen?" He asks.

"A few weeks later, dad did not come home for two days. The next morning some offiicial came to our house and told us that we had to present ourselves before the king, so we did."

I take a deep breath and then continue. "The king, your father told us that he was going to have to execute him." My voice is right on the verge of breaking but I keep going.

"Dad, according to your father slept with some woman. This was something that he wasn't proud of. So, he had both of them executed right in front of us."

When I look at William, he's staring at the ground and he's lost deep in thought. I don't know whether it was something I said or...

My thoughts are interrupted when he says. "He got executed for sleeping with some woman." I nod my head in reply.

"This isn't possible." He says absent mindedly.

"What's not possible?" I ask him. Now, he's started to confuse me.

"My mother, the queen she got executed for sleeping with a commoner, a man." He says and this makes something click inside me.

"Our parents slept together!" "It was your mother and my father!" I exclaim and he shouts.

"Father forbade to speak of it." He tells me.

"Same for me and my sister we were forbidden to speak of that." I agree. We just sit there for a few minutes not talking, in silence.

I'm the one to break it. "I can't believe this."

"Me neither." He agrees.

I hope that things are more clear now.

I'm so glad that the reads are finally increasing! Yaay! Thank you so much! I love you guys for this :)

This might be the last update for a while because I have exams starting from 2 March. But I promise that I'll try my best to try and update in between.
