**THE ABANDONED DUNGEON**
Little Diego sat on the cold, bare floor, His eyes hollow and His bones, sickly visible.
He stared up at Caspian and Kendrick who grinned down at him, the evil in their eyes unshaken.
Caspian opened up the bag in his arms, bringing out a piece of mushroom from it.
He Sniffed it, then handed it over to Diego, who hesitated for a bit.
"You're hungry, right? Eat up!" He commanded and Diego grabbed it earnestly, His small mouth opening up to take in the whole plant but that was a big mistake.
Immediately he swallowed it, he began throwing up blood, Clutching to his throat as he struggled for air.
Caspian and Kendrick laughed out, obviously enjoying the show.
"It's a poisoned mushroom, This is the antidote, if you don't take it in the next 10 minutes, you'll die!" Kendrick said, grinning wickedly as he waved a piece of leaf in front of him.
Diego made to grab at it, but Kendrick pulled it away while Caspian slapped him hardly with the back of his palm.
He fell, gasping as tears stung at the corner of his eyes.
He opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't.
"What is it? Can't speak? Oh, I forgot, You're mute!" Caspian said in a fake pity voice and Kendrick laughed out again.
"Why are you being mean to him again?" A tiny voice asked and they turned to see Cristino, His eyes as quiet as ever as he glared silently at the two.
"And what does this have to do with you? Better keep shut or I'm stuffing the next mushroom into your mouth!" Kendrick snapped angrily at him and Cristino recoiled, obviously not a fan of being yelled at.
The duo's attention shifted to Diego, who kept struggling, his mouth stained with dark blood.
"How much longer does he have?" Caspian asked Kendrick, who shrugged.
"I don't know, 5 minutes?"
"Well, We better start digging a grave then, I always wanted to be a murderer!" Caspian said with a grin and Kendrick laughed, while Diego stared at the two, the tears at the corner of his eyes finally falling.
He had always been bullied by them, and he had always been in near death situations like this also.
They didn't care about the fact that he had a complicated childhood, they didn't care about the fact that he was mute and suffering silently, they didn't even care about the fact that they had the same father.
His only crime was for coming through a Concubine.
The blood stopped flowing out of his mouth and so did the tears.
Caspian and Kendrick stared confused as Diego sat down, wiping the remaining blood from the corner of his lips.
"What the hell?" Caspian gasped Shockingly as Diego's eyes met theirs.
It was dark, void with nothing less of an emotion in it.
"Never would I ever be used as a means for your entertainment again!" He spoke for the first time, his voice coming out in multitudes like someone being spoken through.
"Did he just speak?" Kendrick asked bewildered while Caspian stared, unable to utter a word.
He clapped his arms, and wind passed through it, accompanied by fire.
Kendrick gasped as he and Caspian got caught in it, flying over to the edge of the dark room.
Cristino ran out immediately and Diego took slow steps towards them.
They shifted back, fear crossing through their eyes immediately.
But Diego didn't stop, not until he got very close to them.
He bent down to their level and stared deeply at Caspian, whose eyes were as wide as someone who had seen a ghost.
He placed his arms on his face, his nails digging deep into his flesh till blood came out.
His thumb swept up the blood, and He licked it while Caspian stared with horror filled eyes.
Diego spat it out after, the disgust in his face rather obvious.
"Even Noble blood becomes trash once contaminated!" He muttered and stood up again, turning his back towards them.
"I won't kill you both, instead, I'll leave you off with a warning, Do Not Cross My Path Again!" He said, his tone serious for a kid his age as he snapped his fingers.
Hellish Fire appeared, burning Caspian and Kendrick, but the surprising thing was the fact that their skin was left unhurt even though the pain was unbearable.
"Take the 'burns without scars' as a gift from me, I know how flawless the skin of princes should be!" He said, his arms trailing down his skin for a while before he left, paying no heed to the screaming boys inside.
**11 YEARS LATER**
**WILLY'S DRUNKEN PUB**
The tavern was filled with people as it had always been.
It's known to be the most busiest place in euthanasia kingdom, with people, not regarding class or age frequenting it often.
It is fairly large, with the most beautiful female waitress, making 99% of its customers, males.
A waitress was just about taking a man's order when the door flew open.
Hot air surrounded the room immediately, enough to melt even silver.
Everyone's eyes turned towards the door as HE walked in.
Long silver hair tied in a man bun and adorned with hair clips of the same colour.
Red hollow iris, like that of an hidden monster, cold and undefined.
A perfectly structured face, obviously made with more time to make and ensure that He was PERFECT.
An aura, able to make anyone cower in fear, just by a stare, or even the blowing wind around him.
Prince Diego Montero, is nevertheless, A god.
Everyone bowed as he walked in, his steps careful and slow, befitting that of a royal.
He stopped in the middle of the room, bringing out a scroll from the inside of his robe.
He opened it, taking once glance at it before facing the shaking humans.
"Who is Fabius?" He asked, his voice, deep and baritone, as he stared at them with diminishing eyes.
When no one answered, he took a common step to a waitress, who cowered as his gaze fell on her.
"Since all of you are suddenly mute, why don't I just end you one by one?" He asked, snapping his fingers as Fire dropped from above, burning the girl alive.
She screamed in pain, as her skin turned black with every second that passed, until, she became nothing more than ashes on the ground.
Diego stepped on the ashes, scattering them as the wind blew, carrying the rest.
"Well, so who's next?" He asked, bringing his thumb together for a snap when another girl immediately pointed to an old man by the corner.
"He is!" She said, and Fabius glared at her.
"You weak thing!" He snapped and Diego's head angled sideways as he stared at the man.
"Uhm, I expected someone with at least a decent set of clothes!" He muttered arrogantly and Fabius's eyes widened.
"I'll have you know that this dress alone costs over a thousand silver!" He snapped in a low tone.
"Ohh, and he even talks back, Dumb!" Diego said, taking a sit on one of the chairs as he opened up the scroll.
"It says here that you embezzled almost half of the kingdom's money, just for your personal use!" He read and Fabius scoffed.
"I did not embezzled any money, whatever is written there is a lie!" He snapped and Diego raised his left arm.
Immediately, a rope made of fire appeared, tying itself around Fabius' neck as he struggled to breathe.
"I've had enough of your peasant voice, it irks me!" He said, waving that arm again and the rope got tighter.
His attention went back to the scroll as he said.
"Well, I wouldn't have been concerned, if not for the fact that euthanasia depot is among also, which also means that they would be out of business for a while and won't be able to supply me with my favorite body care from overseas, sad right?" He asked Fabius who nodded weakly.
"So, what punishment would be great? I mean, my skin is going to look a tad paler cuz of you!" He said, releasing the hold of the Fire ropes around his neck and Fabius fell on his kneels weakly.
"Please!" He mumbled and Diego squinted.
"Please? I've never heard of that punishment!" He said, stroking his chin.
"Please, if you let me go, I promise I'll never embezzle again, I'll leave this kingdom even, just forgive me, please!" He begged, crying on his knees and Diego angled his head.
"Forgive? Forgive? Is that a word?" He asked, before turning to one of the customers.
"Is forgive a word in my dictionary?" He asked and The man made the mistake of nodding sideways.
Immediately, He caught on fire, burning to ashes in a split second.
"Don't behave like mutes!" He said, the irritation in his voice, clear.
He turned to another customer and asked the same question.
"Is forgive a word in my dictionary?" He asked and the man replied quickly.
"No, my Prince, it's not!"
Diego nodded, facing Fabius who was still on his knees.
He sent a pin made of fire towards his cheek and it cut open, the blood flowing silently.
Diego brought Fabius closer with his fingers, using his arms to swip the blood before licking it.
He spat it out seconds later, with a disgusted look.
"Sadly, your blood doesn't taste great!" He tssked, and Fabius gulped, knowing that he was done for.
"I told you to pick a punishment and you tell me to forgive you? Isn't that bold of you, crook?" He asked, raising his arms as Fabius eyes widened.
"You'll make an excellent examples to the others!" He said and clapped his palm together.
Fabius gasped, Clutching to his body and rolling on the floor in pains.
Turns out Diego was burning him from the inside.
"Please!" He yelled, feeling his internal organs inflame, as he began vomiting blood, accompanied by parts of his insides.
Diego stood up, turning around as he walked out of the pub elegantly, unknown to him that one of his hair clip fell.
He snapped his fingers and the whole place caught on fire, the sound of screaming people in it, filtering into his ears from behind.
He breathe in the fresh air with a relieved sigh.
"The Scent of pain and blood, my favorite!" He said, and immediately, fire poured out of the Heavens, engulfing him as he disappeared.
**DIEGO'S CHAMBERS**
Befitting for a god, Diego's chambers was the richest of all.
With vast space and the humid scent of opulence.
Diego appeared in his bedroom, and a second later, a knock sounded on his door.
He tssked, knowing who it was already.
"Come in!" His voice came, strained, as he obviously didn't like getting disturbed.
The door opened and Matteo walked in.
He is Diego's personal Guard and Eunuch, the only person who has access to him everyday without getting burned.
Well, mostly.
He came in, dragging a man by his hair and Diego raised his brow, obviously enquiring what was going on.
"I caught him sneaking into your chamber, he obviously knew you'd be out!" Matteo said and Diego stroked his chin.
It's always one guy after another.
"What were you doing in my chamber?" He asked the simple question and Matteo let go of the man who fell on his knees.
"I'm sorry, your majesty! It was First Prince Caspian who ordered me to check it for something!" He said and Diego angled his head.
Obviously an habit.
"To check it for what?" He asked the man, who gulped.
"I don't know, he said if I saw it, I'd know it!" The man answered and Diego sighed, stretching his body.
"No use getting anything off him anyways, take him to the catacombs and feed him to the snakes" He said and Matteo bowed, before dragging the crying man out of the room.
Diego stood up and left his chambers, heading towards the rear palace.
He had chosen his own chambers to be built separately from that of the other royal families, so going towards there would take some time, but he enjoyed the walk.
The maids, guards and eunuchs made sure to bow whenever he walked past and he rolled his eyes.
👥️️Oh My God! It's the Fire Prince.
👥️️I wonder what he's doing in the rear palace
👥️️Someone is obviously going to get hurt today.
👥️️You're right, He doesn't come and go without hurting anyone.
👥️️Who cares? As long as I get to see him
👥️️To think he's the last and yet the most handsome
👥️️Gosh! I'm so in love with him.
He heard the maid gossip and the urge to burn out their tongues suddenly overcame him but he kept his cool till he reached his brother chamber.
Caspian.
The door wasn't locked so he opened it up and walked in without knocking.
Caspian was naked, along with a girl and he was fùcking the daylight out of her.
He flinched when he saw Diego and the girl's eyes widened as she began covering herself up.
"My prince!" She bowed and Diego grimaced.
"So slùts cover up also? I didn't know!" He said grimly with a disgusted look on his face and the girl picked up her clothes in embarrassment, taking a bow before walking out.
Caspian glared at him, the hate in his eyes unmasked.
Unlike Diego, he had Black hair and blue eyes like the ocean.
He is handsome also, but not in anyway compared to Diego's unique beauty.
"What do you want?" He asked, covering himself up with the blanket.
"Sending a spy into my house, is a bit timid, don't you think?" Diego asked, his voice eerily calm and Caspian scoffed unbothered, tho, it did nothing to hide the surprise in his eyes.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" He defended and Diego nodded simply.
"Okay!" He said, walking up to the bed and pulling something from Under.
It was a sack bag, containing chains.
Caspian eyes widened on seeing it.
"How did you know it was down there?" He asked but Diego said nothing, his eyes focused on the chains.
He stretched them a bit and almost immediately, fire appeared on it, burning brightly against the metal.
"You wanted to use this chain on the girl, right?" Diego muttered the Question and Caspian blinked as Diego's eyes finally met his.
"How about I use it on you?" He asked and before Caspian could utter a word, he had already been suspended midair by Diego.
His dìck was dangling also, while Caspian struggled, Not liking the fact that he couldn't move.
"Uhm, I expected it to at least be longer!" Diego said, staring at Caspian's dìck like it was a piece of string.
"What the hell are you doing?" He asked with widened eyes and Diego shrugged.
"Playing with you! Isn't that what you've always wanted since were kids?" He asked and the burning chains wrapped around his dìck already.
Caspian screamed and struggled even more, but it still didn't remove Diego's hold on him.
"Please!" He said and Diego scoffed.
"What's up with people and saying please today?" He asked and went over to the window, opening it and gazing outside.
The Chambers in the rear palace were high, to the extent that even Falling from the window could make you sustain injuries.
Not death, Just injuries.
Boo.
Diego hung the other end of the chain out the Window, with the other end holding his diçk.
Caspian started crying like a kid, and it attracted the attention of the maids whose eyes widened at what they saw.
👥️️I knew he wouldn't have come here without a reason.
👥️️How could he do this to this brother?
👥️️He's a god, he can do anything.
"Let me down, please!" Caspian begged, not liking the unwanted attention and Diego pouted.
"No way, you need to enjoy the view, big brother!"
