1 Dark Comes after Ligh (1/2)
'We are born the same, as humans, but we are raised differently from each other.'
Orange colored sky with a sunset in the middle, a wide blue sea all around the horizon. There was a ship in the middle of it. A white ship with an emblem that showed the might of the royal family. In the middle of the ship, a 20-year-old young adult was standing still while enjoying the sunset with his hand crossed. He wore a green coat with a white shirt and black trousers. He was the son of a duke that will be getting married to the princess of a country. His name is Lawrence Sharrington. A boy with dark brown hair, average build, and a semi-muscular appearance.
He was a magic swordsman and healer back when he was drafted for the Soulisphate kingdom during his academy time. He was a smart, rational, shy, and easily-touched during his military times. However, he barely finished his combat assignment after the war between the kingdoms is over.
”Hey there, boy, your big day is coming soon, isn't it?” The captain that was holding the wheel of the ship shouted to him.
Lawrence turned his head backward and saw the captain shouted to him. He walked to the captain. With the sea breeze that's made a beautiful voice like a singing angel, the conversation with the captain started.
”Yes, in fact, when we will arrive at the port?” He asked him in a manner. Not really surprising since he was raised as a nobility. Studying for ten years in nobility based school seems to be enough to make him learn the basics of manner.
”With this kind of wind?” The captain said as the ship was in full sail. ”Probably about two or three days,” He said with a sailor accent that was very natural coming from his mouth.
”Well, Captain, best regards, the dinner will start soon,” He said as he left the captain alone on the wheel of the sheep. He walked to the interior of the ship and walked to the dining hall. The dining hall where his family and several famous people of the kingdom gather.
There were several people in the table, the most noticeable one was his parents. His mother wore a blue satin dress, and her father wore a lime coat and a white shirt. The others were his friends and his father's landlord.
He sat between his mother and his father. The sailor turned on another lantern; thus, the interior of the ship was shining with an orange light from the fire on the lamp. His father stood up and hit the glass several times with a spoon; thus, several people looked at him.
”Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention?” His father asked him.
The whole guess mouth went shut, and his father started to talk, ”Thank you for coming to this dinner event to celebrate my son's marriage with the daughter of the king itself. It's been a joy to raise her into an honorable man like the way he is now.”

Lawrence just sat still looking at the guests that were listening to his father gibberish. For him, marriage is simply just a political one that gave him a better future. He knew that his family almost went bankrupt, and this marriage would save the family from that catastrophe.
Lawrence was a bit older in terms of mental age than the average person that has the same age as him. He had known the cruel fact of living as a nobility. Everything turned into something political from playing with someone of his age until eating together with someone of his age.
As soon as his father let him eat the food, he ate the food as fast as he could. When the others were talking about him, he headed first to his cabin. Lawrence was pretty smart at hiding his emotion, some people might say that he is a flat face.
