The+insane+insanity+of+a+prince

Long ago in the land of Persia There was forgotten prince and his small kingdom. The prince was once the heir to the throne after his father died which was likely to happen soon since his father had the black plague. Though all of this changed when he was accused of treason. So instead of him claiming the throne when his father died it would be his brother Izmir. Prince Maras was now banished to the forgotten lands of Samsun far to the North of Persia.

I was outraged at not just my brother Izmir for accusing me of treason against Persia and my father but also at my father for ignoring the fact that anything happened at all to his oldest son and favorite heir to the throne of the mighty Persia. But instead of spending my years in this land mourning over the lost throne, i spent the years planning my vengeance my sweet vengeance. If i couldn't have the throne through diplomatics, i shall take it by force. So this morning i sent my entire army, horses, catapults, ballistas, and all to take my throne. So the only qualified military personnel are the drunks in charge of the stables. By noon i should be in control of Bandar, and by tomorrow night i shall be knocking at the doors of Persepolis ready to take the throne from my brother Izmir.

It is to utterly quiet in my castle grounds tonight i have had no word from my troops on the current progress of battle. The jester is the only one around worth communicating with. But i have not seen him since i sent the troops. "WHERE ARE YOU JESTER, I REQUIRE YOUR ENTERTAINMENT" nothing no answer no sound no jester. "I am alone the jester has betrayed me what has happened, has not the entire kingdom left to conquer Persia starting this war, they are nothing without me. NOTHING" the prince rambled on about the war and betrayal until he heard the racking at the gates. "JESTER WHERE THE HECK DID YOU GO" but it was not the jester the jester was gone, gone with the troops who supposedly abandoned the prince and sided with the empire. Then again a racking on the wood gates louder and LOUDER and **LOUDER!!!!** "Their after me why are they after me i have not done anything to them they are the ones who committed the crime not me them". **CRREEEEAAK** "It's them they have broken the castle gates MY castle gates where are the guards my guards. If only i did not send everybody to Bandar i might keep my life tonight."
 * later that day**

The prince then suited himself up in armor then grabbed his sword and shield prepared for battle left, his chamber and raced to the top of the main castle. "This is where i shall fight to the death if necessary, they won't find me though no they won't their going to find nothing but an empty castle and move on, MOVE ON. I shall live another day". Then the waiting began, Prince Maras waited almost two hours for his own death to come to be swept away by the army he sent to give him his rightful throne back. The should be king could not imagine which one of his once loyal soldiers would take his life but he was determined he would not go down without a fight.

Jamal the jester and about 20 guards were looking for the prince to tell him the joyful news from Bandar but he was nowhere in sight. Then after about two hours of looking the jester was walking up the tower steps when he heard the sounds of someone mumbling. he raced up the steps yelling. "O' KING O' KING WE CAPTURED IZMIR IN BANDAR YOU ARE NOW THE KING". He burst through the tower door, but it was empty no king no person. Jamal on edge slowly looked behind the door finding nothing. He had now determined that prince Maras had left the castle and went looking for his army.

But what really happened is Prince Mars after standing on edge waiting for his death to come was so frightened he would never be able to lift his sword or to defend himself from the attacker so when he heard running footsteps coming up the tower doors he turned stepped up to the ledge and jumped from the tower falling to his death. One of the guards found him lying dead in the mud just not minutes after his fall.
