kalon name: Cicero
secret:
“...Give me any reason why I shouldn’t let you splatter on the ground below us,” he growled.
“Oh, you poor, poor soul. Overthrew a tyrant, yet your wicked soul gets the better of you,” they spat. “So full of rage, yet empty, it’s entertaining watching you...”
Cicero cornered his attacker over the balcony of the castle, pinning the cloaked figure with his trusty sickle. However, it was blind rage soon turned into horror as his eyes gazed upon the figure in front of him, freezing him in terror. The very king he overthrew, staring at Cicero with a devious smirk.
“Ah, how funny it is that the people love you now, for ending the very revolution you started in the first place. Strange that they adore you, considering you sold the king that gave your kingdom its prosperity. Odd how you got your revenge, yet you still can’t be satisfied,” they giggled. “No better than the king you loathe so much, destined for history to repeat itself!”
“I’ve had ENOUGH!”
Now Cicero dangled them off of the edge, but their laughter only grew and grew as they took on his appearance, deeply disturbing the king. As Cicero peered into the imposter’s eyes it was cruel just like Cicero’s, remorseless just like Cicero’s. There was no doubt that it all was true, secrets that Cicero hid they knew. As Cicero threw them off of the balcony, they still laughed as they fell, soon fading into smoke.

“My king! Is everything alright?! You look like you’ve seen a ghost!”
“I can assure you that I am fine, although I feel unwell,” Cicero reassured. His secrets were safe for now, however it terrorized his thoughts.
“I think you should go rest in the infirmary.”
“I should,” as he headed off to rest.

Extra:
“I am still a simple farmer at heart, nothing more, my lord. I only want the best outcome for you.”
Yet, his wicked expression betrayed his words as he loomed over his terrified king who cowered before Cicero. Besides Cicero stood ominous figures, none of which was identifiable to the king, but it didn’t matter now. Cornered with nowhere to run or hide, the king could only brace himself for the worst to come.
“It appears that your rule has been inadequate. Your laws have stated what happens to bad kings?”
Cicero’s hatred flowed from past skirmishes started before he was even born, the long line of rulers that made his family suffer through famine and debt. Finally, after rising through the ranks they’d finally pay their retribution for his misery. Cicero had no remorse saved for them. Yet, despite finally securing his victory over a long standing enemy, he felt nothing now. A victory he’d wanted yet finally got, but in the end meaningless to Cicero.
“Goodbye, my king. Perhaps we’ll meet again some other time.”
As he watched the former king being dragged away, Cicero set his sights on repairing the country he broke apart...
