Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #19: Tadpole Dance
“After killing my Uncle, I became lord, but I was unfit to rule. I had lost everything, my beloved, my parents…I couldn’t function well enough to be the ruler my people required. However, you can never escape duty and my solicitor finally wore me down, convinced me to go over my father’s will. I did so without enthusiasm, but it was there, among the many sheets of papers and scrolls. A letter from my mother.
“It was dated not long before her death. I learned from the contents that she intended to give it to me many years later.”
