A well needed rest

[dandan1350 479]

He was never raised for this. Never brought up to lead, take charge or assert himself. He was thrust into it without warning, giving no chance to prepare. Within a night he found himself named the new prince of Savoy with little to no readiness, no idea of the state of this principality or its people. And the state it was in, was near turmoil. It came as no surprise to him, his sleepless nights, his days without food or drink, sometimes going up to a whole week not leaving his room let alone the confines of the palace. He hadn't seen sun besides a glance from the windows that peered into his room within the last three days. Through his stress and habits of shutting himself away while he did his duty, sickness crept upon the young prince. He found himself weak, beginning to grow frail and thing, hair falling quickly from his head with a simple run of his hands through it. All the signs of stress hit him hard and soon he was nearly bed-ridden from it. 

 

The only thought that flooded his mind was his brother at this point. Not his wife, his family, his lands, his people. They had too much time already on his mind, now was the time for his brother to take over.

 

"Elly you ****.." He cursed out in a hoarse voice. "I was raised a diplomat, not a leader.." He mumbled to himself, shaking his head as he closed his eyes. The prince drifting off as he was finally offered his first proper nights sleep without disturb. Only entry permitted by his prince guard on proper reason or visitation. 

 

The young prince rested his weary body, and took a well-needed break that most leaders could not afford especially himself.

((In the up coming week, I'll be taking it slow as LOTC has become a chore more then a time of enjoyment. It's been like this for months now for me, alongside a 8-6 work shift I can't really afford too much time. So I'm taking a slow week and wont be round much while I just enjoy some freedom of no responsibility.))
