He looked at my face which looked similar to his. Then he stepped back and kicked the throne behind him over. What he saw was a devil, created by himself, crawling out of the abyss of hell to find him. He had been completely captured by fear, just judging trembling from his eyes. He made a scream which didn't sound like a human voice.
I took a step forward, he took a step back. As he retreated, something tripped him at his feet. He held out his hand and pushed me across the air. It seemed that he wanted to stop me. The guards around him doubtfully looked on both sides. This change was so sudden that they were at a loss.
"Dad, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of me? Or are you afraid of what you have done?" I took another step forward and he stepped back in terror.
"Don't! Don't come here! You're dead. You should be dead."
"Yes! I'm dead. Stabbed by you, and then thrown into the fire. The old Siddora who has no father is dead. The Siddora who lives with his mother is dead; and I who was murdered, burned and buried by you, have risen from the darkest place and came back for you," my voice gradually growing louder, as my last words became the roar of a beast.
"Why kill my mom and me? Why not just let us go?" I continued.
He looked at me and retreated. His fear gripped his heart, making him incoherent.
"It's not my fault. That stupid woman asked for it. She even threatened me to tell everybody about my illegitimate son. I have no other choice. If my wife knew that, the king would deal with me harshly. I would lose my chance to inherit the throne. I just don't want to be ruined!"
"You killed my mother and me for fame and status. Ha ha ha!" I began to laugh uncontrollably, and soon my laughter became hysterical.
"So, you killed the woman who loved you so much and the son you have never met. Ha ha ha! Then you set fire to the house to cover up your crime. Ha ha ha!" I laughed wildly that tears came down in the laughter.
"Mom, every time I was laughed at and bullied by other children in the village because I had no father, I would come to you and ask you about my father. Now, I still remember clearly that my father you spoke of was a superhero… oh, how I wish that was true. However, the one you loved was such a hateful man. I remembered you once said to me: 'Your father is a gentle and strong man. Your eyes, hair, and skin are all a gift from your father. Your father won’t abandon you. He has very important duties and great ideals, so we can't drag him down. One day, he will come to take us home. Then we can be together and live a happy life forever. By that time no one will bully you.' Ha ha ha! Mom, what a beautiful lie! I don't know if you said all those things to cheat me or yourself. As you expected, my father did come. With soldiers and murderous intent, he greeted us with swords and fire," I said to my mother as if she could still hear me.
I finally stopped laughing and stared at the man in front of me with my eyes that emitted a glamorous red light. This light was more intense because of the anger. I would never forgive the man before he tasted all my pain.
"It turns out that you killed my mom just for this woman, right? Dad!" With a wave of my hand, two skeleton soldiers dragged a person out of the smoke.
"You abandoned my mother just to marry her?" I approached the disheveled woman, held her chin in one hand and raised her head. Her noble demeanor of the past had disappeared at this moment. Now, her face was pale, eyes full of fear.
"Lily!" He cried out.
"Your majesty!" His guards attempt to retaliate, but dozens of skeletons came out from the side and stood in front of them.
"What are you going to do?" The king had stood up; I could still see his legs shaking.
"Nothing! I just want you to experience a little bit about the pain of losing your loved ones."
"No!" He shouted and seemed to rush over, but an arrow immediately shot at his feet, reminding him not to act rashly. After the smoke behind me faded a little, the figures of ten or so skeleton archers were revealed.
