It’s the waiting that’s unnerving.
So much so that I find myself furiously pacing my castle’s great hall in
the early hours of the morning instead of enjoying the comfort of my warm
bed.
It’s become such a common occurrence that my men have started to joke
that their lord and liege has become a creature of the night, taking ghosts as
paramours and fucking their spirits to the high heavens where the gods can
finally welcome their souls home.
But while my men have kept themselves busy as they wait, even if only
by being entertained by my sudden case of insomnia, I’m not as fortunate in
finding such amusement to occupy my time.
Unfortunately, not being able to have a full night’s rest for the past
month hasn’t been the only thing that has been plaguing me of late. Anytime
I sit down for a meal, food has a way of tasting sourly bitter on my lips.
Even the usual quick fix of drinking myself blind with imported rum does
nothing to tame my thoughts—not even the soothing melodic sound of
crashing waves slamming against the cliffs beneath my fortress of a castle is
able to brighten my tempest disposition.
There is no satisfaction to be had with such mundane things.
Not when true satisfaction is almost within my grasp—even if it does
feel like it’s coming at a snail’s leisurely pace.
Argh.
Like I said… it’s the waiting that sets my teeth on edge.
With each passing day, I feel my blood slowly boil to a fevered pitch,
threatening to spill over if it has to wait another hour—nay—another second,
before its ardent craving is finally satiated.
This unnerving impatience of mine comes as a pesky surprise, though.
I should be accustomed to this tiresome waiting game by now.
After all, I’ve waited years for this.
Years biding my time in this wretched purgatory limbo, just waiting for
the blessed day when the reckoning scales of justice would finally tip in my
favor and grant me the one thing I’ve been obsessing over for most of my
young adult life—retribution.
Nothing will taste sweeter to me than getting revenge on those who had a
hand in destroying my kingdom and ripping the very heart and soul out of it,
ensuring its ruin.
Hmm.
Maybe it was my youth that had kept me patient back then.
Time had been my friend, so the tedious affair of waiting hadn’t been so
painstakingly aggravating to me as it is now, but rather a welcomed gift.
Even then, I knew I needed all the time I could get to prepare myself for
the days ahead—but most importantly, I needed time to become the king the
west truly deserved.
Gods know my predecessor was anything but.
However, now that I finally find myself at destiny’s gates, so close to
avenging the innocent blood spilled and sold in the name of power and
greed, my usual controlled demeanor is starting to show its first cracks.
And it’s all because of her —the winter queen.
Damn her to hell.
