And his hopes and dreams were crushed under the harsh boot of reality, for he realized that he could never be loved back by the one he so desires. She killed him and insulted him, destroying his morale, leaving him completely dead inside, and now all he wants to do is get away from it all. How foolish he was, the fairytales he was told of, the prince he so badly wanted to be, could not be true, and were just false realities. He sets himself down, waiting to feel better, hoping that he will be purified of his feelings soon, but knowing that he shall never be free of his curse, for he cannot go without loving, loving too much. Damned to walk the surface, never being with her, his princess, the curse that keeps him from happiness but keeps others so happy. He loves too much but is so easily hurt. On his throne he whispers to his mirror, "I wish to die. Make it so." but to no avail, the mirror staying as inanimate as ever, said nothing back nor acted in any manor otherwise. Louder he states, "I wish to die. Make it so." to an empty room, no one around to hear, especially not the one he craves. Screaming now, "I wish to die! Make it so!" he unsheathes his dagger, passed down from his father, and his father before that, and plunges it into his abdomen, knowing the pain of heartbreak, nothing worse could be done to him, this wound was nothing compared to his curse and he welcomed the warm trickling feeling of his own life. He rips the dagger from himself and plunges it deep into his chest, missing his heart by just a finger's length. Screaming through the pain, the pain of never being loved by the one he loves, he pulled his dagger once more, for the final time, and drove it straight through his heart. If he could not be loved then no one could be loved by him, for his curse, while making others happy, killed him more and more every day. He loved too much and was always hurt. The king has taken his life.
