Every body was amazed. were was the cowardly waste that they all knew.
Gabriel suppressed the fear in his heart as he walked out of the palace door. Nobody knew but he had developed a phobia for cane or weep alike (bambusiphobia) after a certain accident that was to shameful for him to talk about. so this punishment was even worst for him, that aside those who where informed knows that this was practically a death sentence to him.
Gabriel did not know where he got the courage but he was sure that he will scale through this ordeal in one piece. and when he did he knew that he would be a completely different person. some one that not just any body could step on his head, some body that would rule the world.
As they came outside Gabriel was awe struck. nobody knows when or how but the news of Gabriel's punishment has spread round the whole Sun city, the capital city of Sunfield kingdom. and every body who heard wanted to see with their own eyes how a prince will be flogged in public. Left for them the king should have killed this handsome waste along time ago, as he is a disgrace to their kingdom and the royal family. this was the opinion of the men at least as they felt jealous and insecure about his handsomeness and charm. but it has to be known that Gabriel is royalty so even if he is a waste he was still royalty and it was not every day you get to see a royalty publicly humiliated.
Gabriel followed the guard to the the city square. at the entrance of the square Gabriel saw his whole family.
he was heart broken at the sight of his teary mother and sister who were being consoled by his brother who was also at the verge off tears.
he wished he could be a better son and brother to them, he really did but alas he was a source of pain and disgrace to them.
he walked past them, just when he was about to pass his father,
are you not going to say anything to me he heard his father asking. Gabriel was infuriated. how come this place at the village square was the ideal place to talk,
He stop stopped for a bit. before he continued forward. he knew that his father wanted him to kneel down and beg him, but he was not going to ever do that not in this life not in the nest one.
king Orion was astonished. he taught that as he gave Gabriel a lifeline that he would grab it with open arms but to his disappointment Gabriel completely ignored him.
that was also great, him giving Gabriel a lifeline was not because he had pity on him or anything of that sought, he was simply trying to please his precious daughter Delaney, who wanted to humiliate Gabriel before killing him. but it was not that simple because Gabriel was also his son it would be hard to kill him after he has begged him he tried to explain to her but she was not hearing anything he was saying so he had no choice but to do as she wanted who would have thought that that stubborn waste would help him at the end at least he tried.
but he was also angry at Gabriel conduct, as it was a slap on the face out of shame he passed another order. if Gabriel by any miracle managed to survive he should be thrown directly into the palace dungeon.
