My Queen, 
 I know he is my son. I know he was born out of passion and lies, but please love him as you do the other children. This is not his fault.

 Day One. She sent me to the islands on the far east side of the kingdom. My beautiful Queen. The only woman I've ever loved. This banishment is for my protection, she says. After 20 years, the boy will know nothing of our affair. I will be long forgotten by the others in the village in which I've lived all my days. More importantly than all of this, the King will not know it is my head he wants, or my seed that gave life to his `` Prince''. It is chilly at night on the islands, I will build a shelter and wait for morning to search for fresh water. I would n't mind dying here. If I ca n't have her, I'm half dead already. 
 
 Day 7,300. I may return to the kingdom today. A scribe came to the island earlier this morn to give me the news. My love is dead. She passed 5 yeas ago, so says the scribe. My son reigns as King now. His `` father'', dead over a decade. I've packed the little belongings I brought with me to the islands. They fill a small cloth sack, they are my only possessions. A picture of my Queen, and of my son. The son who will never know the love I shared with his mother... Never know his birthright is a lie. Maybe I wo n't return. Maybe I can handle the loneliness of the islands more than that of a kingdom I no longer have a place in.
