A Tale of Heart

 

 

           There was a girl, whose name is of no importance. She had only one goal in her life and that was to be the wife of the emperor, for she loved the grand man greatly.

           One day she came across a guard, one who wore the crest of the emperor’s personal knights. She begged him,

“Please I will do anything if you take me to the emperor, I must see him.”

The knight held out a hand while smiling,

“For all of your minas I will tell you where to find him.”

 

 

 

          She gave him every coin she owned then happily skipped down the road following his directions. As she turned the last corner she ran into a dead end. She stared at the wall for a few seconds confused as to why the one she loved was not there.

          She turned around and made her way back searching to find the guard, thinking maybe she missed a step. As she neared the spot where she paid the man she bumped into another. The man was a wealthy looking man for he wore bright silk robes and golden jewelry. She quickly bowed and apologized to the man before noticing the emblem on one of his rings. He too worked for the emperor.

          She begged him the same as she had begged the knight. The posh man only stared down at the poor maiden, looking her up and down he grinned,

“Spend one night with me and in the morning I shall bring you to him.”

 

 

          She awoke the next morning and turned in the bed only to find that she was alone and stranded. She sat up and thought to herself,

“He surely went to prepare my true love of my arrival.”

As the sun rose higher in the sky she grew extremely worried, for he had not returned. As more time passed the more her smile would fall and not long after she began to cry.

          A strange cloaked man overheard the sobbing and followed the noise to the source. He peaked into the room and looked down on the lonely girl,

“My dear, why do you weep?”

She continued to whimper and sniffle as she told the man of her quest for love and how she had been deceived. The man bobbed his head once before speaking in a hushed voice,

“Is that your heart’s desire?”

She wiped her wet eyes and nodded her head. An odd sly grin shone through the dark hood as he held out a slim boney hand,

“Come with me, my sweet. I will bring you to him.”

 

 

 

          They arrived to the palace and entered the throne room where the emperor sat. He stood up from the chair and began to question the reason for their appearance. Right as the girl was to declare her love for him the hooded man rushed forward and dug a dagger deep into the emperor’s heart. He then ripped the bloodied dagger out and watched as the corpse fell backward.

          The girl fell to her knees screaming and crying out. Guards ran forward and began to unsheathe their swords. The shady killer turned to her as the knights would circle around them,

“There,”

          His voice nearly drowned out from all the armored men yelling as they raised their blades.

“the only way for a high born man like him to be with a low blood like yourself is if he were dead.”
