Name: Destiny
Story: The Mondian Chronicles (Archive/Index/Timelines)
Title: Somebody That I Used To Know
Timeline: 1134 AW
Colors: Tea Rose 21: Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Fire Opal 17: Like a hurricane.
Supplies and Styles: Brush (intemperate: not moderate or mild : severe), Stain (Fools rush in where fools have been before.)
Word Count: 276
Summary: She's made a cuckold of me and she will pay.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Alludes to execution. Slut shaming.
Notes: At this point in time, Henri is married to his fifth queen, Martine Bauldry. Though obviously things go a bit sour by the time this takes place. Claude d'Athenous is Henri's oldest friend and most trusted. Claude is also the Duke of Friene.
“She will pay!”
His friend was angry, angrier than Claude had ever seen him. This man before him, he didn’t recognize.
Henri emptied his tankard and slammed it down hard on the table in front of him. He reached for the bottle.
“Henri, don’t you think you’ve had enough?”
The corners of his mouth turned upward like he was trying to smile, but a scowl came out in its place. Henri poured the wine into his tank.
“You wouldn’t understand Claude. I’ve been betrayed. Not once, but twice. You know what they say? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
He took a big gulp and swallowed.
“I’m a fool, Claude.”
“No, you aren’t, my friend. You have a tender heart.”
Henri smirked as he looked into his old friend’s eyes.
“I’m not so tender. I’ve decided her punishment.”
Claude held his breath.
“What…?”
“It’s to the block with her. Burning her will take too long.”
“Henri, you can’t do that.”
“Why in the hell can’t I? I think you forget who you’re speaking to. I am the king. No earthly man comes before me.”
“But…”
“She’ll pay the price for deceiving me, Claude. She’s made me into a cuckold. Just like her scheming whore of a cousin.”
“Henri,” Claude said alarmed.
“Enough! I’ll hear no more. Leave me now, Claude. I am not in control of myself.”
Claude stood up. He placed his tankard down on the table and turned away. He glanced back at Henri. No, this man before him wasn’t the boy he’d grown up with. It seemed that boy had gone. But would he ever come back?
