Markus saw smoke on the horizon. It was the Rosewalk estate that was burning. He was riding as fast as he could.

The two of them reached the estate. He looked around at the horror. The heads of the Rosewalk family were put on stakes outside with the common people celebrating drunk and without clothes. He saw the same people he knew from the time working at the villa frolicking on the ground. They were celebrating by burning the villa and getting drunk on the wine of the Rosewalks that they had looted from their wine cellars.

Markus looked at what had happened and thought that Emilia must be somewhere.

"Aaaaaaaaaaah"

He heard Emilia screaming. The screams came from the barn. He rode there with August right behind him.

He opened the barn doors and there he found a man on top of Emilia. Markus's pupils disappeared and he lost all control. He took a pickaxe and charged with the horse at the man who was on top of Emilia.

"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!" Markus yelled and killed the man with the pitchfork.

He kept stabbing the man many times even though the man was clearly dead.

He then ran to Emilia and took her into his arms.

"EMILIA! EMILIA!" He yelled.

Her eyes were closed. Her body felt cold. Markus saw Emilia's throat was cut open and blood had turned her white nightgown into bright red. Emilia was dead.

Markus couldn't believe what was happening. He froze completely. He then started to shake uncontrollably.

"My prince I think we have to leave now. I hear people coming here," August said to the prince.

The prince was unable to hear it. He had a complete mental breakdown.

His entire world was Emilia. He had no emotions other than towards Emilia. His entire plan to overthrow his father was so he could be with Emilia and fulfill her wish to create a kingdom of smiles and to make a world where he could live with her.

To him, a world without Emilia was not a world worth living in.

All of those had come crashing down.

The noises started to get louder. The people came towards the Barn.

"My prince we really need to leave now!" August yelled.

The prince wasn't still able to listen to any outside sounds. He was stuck in his own mind.

"What happened. I made sure of everything. No, no, no this is not happening, right? There is a way out of this. I am sure I am able to figure something out," Markus was ranting in his own head.

The people came to the barn. They recognized August and the prince immediately.

"Hey look at that. The golden prince. His head will look good at the end of a stick," said a woman with a vile smile.

August came between them. He readied his hammer and was ready to kill anyone who would harm the prince. The people hesitated since they knew August was a powerful man with strong divine power. The hammer of August radiated with lightning and electricity making a clear show of force.

A man came and hit August behind his head with a frying pan. A man had sneaked through the back exit and was able to pin August down. The people then rushed in and more people pinned the very strong August down. August eventually lost all consciousness.

They then went and started to attack the prince. They all smiled at the prince whose face was being pushed to the ground. They smiled and were ecstatic to see the prince there.

"Why. I don't get it. Why they would do this. I don't understand any of this. I am sorry Emilia, but you were wrong. They do not deserve to smile," Markus kept thinking in his head while looking at all the people around him.

A woman came with a wooden stake and punctured the hand of Markus. Markus didn't yell or even move a bit.

"I always thought the golden prince was a freak. He doesn't even feel pain let alone some emotions," the woman said.

"What is this feeling. This irritating feeling. I hate it. It is really unpleasant. This feeling of fire inside me. This is rage. And the other feeling. What is it? It is helplessness. I hate it. Make it stop. SOMEBODY MAKE IT STOP," Markus thought.

"Die you filthy royal," the woman said and was about to plunge the wooden stake at the prince's throat.

"NO, NO, NO, NO. IT CAN NOT END THIS WAY. I WILL NOT LET IT END THIS WAY. SOMEBODY, LET ME GET RID OF THESE EMOTIONS. LET ME END IT ALL FOR EVERYONE," Markus yelled in his head.
