Felix Pride
Felix stared at her for a moment when she removed her mask. She was very beautiful, maybe that was the reason she was chosen. He listened to what she said and stared at her. He then began to laugh. "Heheheheh....hahahahah..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Felix laughed so hard he nearly fell over. He calmed down a bit, then looked at her. " I had you pegged you all wrong." He gave a few more chuckles. "I thought you were going to be a timid girl who could barely speak. Thank you for being so straight forward with me." He then looked at her and said. "Come on." he grabbed her hand and walked her over to a bench. The bench was very close to the edge of a cliff that over looked the forest and several towns in the distance. It was beautiful view. He sat her down and sat down next to her.
"You say that you can't turn down your father, I have never known that feeling. I always let my father down. Not on purpose ,mind you, but we have conflicting ideals on what my future should be. He wants me to be a king....I want to be a vagabond. I want to go wherever the wind takes me and be free. Which is the reason I'm often kept in chains." While he talked, not once did his smile falter. "I don't hate my dad and I completely understand why he does the things that he does. I just feel sorry for him that he didn't get the son he wanted. Gods know he deserved it. He tried so hard to have a child. My mother kept having miscarriages until me. She died with my birth, but i turned out to be a disappointment, so he lost his wife for nothing. I know I could just accept the role that my father wants me to be, in order to make him happy and to honor my mother. But, i have a certain code I live by and being a king would cause me to abandon that code, and I'm not that kind of man."
He looked over to her and then realized he just told her something that he has never spoken to anyone about. "I'm sorry, I'm just sitting here rambling on about my life while your probably as bored as a child at church. Sorry, you must think me incredibly vain to talk about myself so much. I usually don't talk to people. Enough about me, tell me about Aika. What's your family like?"
