Oneshot A Hero's Return

Never thought i would write my own story on NUF one day but here it is.
Let it be buried in the community originals forum.

Spoiler: Oneshot

The orange sunset makes the capital more beautiful for my return.
Bells around the city announce it.
The commoners approach the procession to commemorate it, they dance and shout a lifetime of happiness.
The blacksmith started a bonfire, can't quite smell what is roasting. Is it lamb? is it pork? I can't tell.
The tavern brought out theirs reserves, but even that probably won't last until the end of the celebration.
Passing guardsman stop patrolling and join the commoners in their dances.
Young women disappear in dark alleyways, leading away some of my soldiers. That is perfectly reasonable , after all it's been 3 months since they have been in the capital, i wonder if those girls still remember theirs lovers embrace.
Perhaps I should join them, grab a couple young girls and... no, that can't happen, i most stay faithful to the princess. If she knew that I wasn't loyal, oh, she would be mad.
It's decided I shall head directly to the palace and report my sucess to the king and then lead the princess for the celebration.
*****
I most say that the royal guards show more professionalism that theirs lesser conterparts. They remain in front of the palace entrace even through the celebration already expanded to every part of the city. Well that's proper protocol, and no matter what protocol most be follow for matters related to the king. So let's follow protocol.

*****
I haven't even taken 10 steps inside the place and those fellows already went to joined their comrades in the commerations. Damn those guys, i know that with me here, you can relax about protecting the king but at least wait untill I cannot see it before leaving.
Ahh... nevermind when i open the door I shall see the king.
And there he is... in all his dignity sitting on the throne. Always wondered if it's being the king that creates that kind of dignity or only those that posses that kind of dignity that can become kings.
I approach while wondering and stop and knell at a respectable distance at which not even the best swordsman can kill him in one step. To me it would take two.
"Your Highness, i acomplished sucess in the mission which you set upon me and brought the head of the rebel army before you."
"You...."
The king remains dignified but i can tell that he remains perplex upon the situation. I can't blame him after all he expected an head and i brought more because the head is still attached to the shoulders.
But what is not to understand, why most be cut the neck and bring the head and not bring the head and cut the neck. Why most those two action be united, let's separare them.
"Do not worry my Liege, the neck can be cut right now and with the drop of the head the rebellion will end."
I unsheath my sword, take a step to be in position and slash.
Althrough it seems improper to shed blood in the king's presence and stain the audience chamber, I thought that this would elevate my merits and let the king rest more at ease.
"Your highness, i shall take my leave and will be inviting the princess for the celebration that are happening outside."
The king remains silent, he never approved my relationship with the princess but after this time event and the merits that I accumulated, there is no longer an option for his refusal.
So I shall take his silence as allowance although i know that i will never get his blessing.
****
On my way to the princess chamber i pass through the window and still see the orange of the sunset upon the city, will those last until dawn?
"And will the princess mind her father's blood upon my armor?"

Spoiler: tags: really spoilers so open after reading

dark, betrayal, rape? (kinda), medieval time, massacre
if you don't understand the tags, reread the story with them in mind since the beginning and see some spoiler in the second page

and to get Parths attention, i seriously reccomend reading this and then reading Invisible dragon
comment and criticism is accepted
remember the reader is king

 

The title is enough for me to be reluctant of reading this.

 

You mean spelling problem?

 

don't know what you are reluctant about but the story is probably not what you expect

 

where? isn't the possesive done 's

 

It's supposed to be A not An in An Hero's Return

 

An Heros Return
I think they mean the title's grammar orz

 

An before vowel or unsounded h, i checked before writing

 

You're in need of an editor.

Only applies for certain words like hour(ˈou(ə)r).

 

Idk how it's pronounced where you live but in the states Hero has a sounded h, not trying to bash but that's probably the reason

 

ow!?? a volunteer appeared

 

fine, i acceept that, title corrected

 

An hero is a meme about a kid who committed suicide and one of his classmates said, "He was an hero."

The grammar issue and the dissonance of calling someone who committed suicide a hero made it pop up very often as a synonym with suicide. Saying that someone should become an hero is equivalent to telling someone to kill themselves.

 

thank you, internet archive digger, your knowledge is always appreciated

 

We need to implement designated shitting streets on NUF so we can let it all out in a proper place.

 

with your title I don't trust your shit, please contain it in a biohazard bag

 

lol, you got tough audiences here. Meme aside, I did read it as an Ero after silenced that H. So I got your message

But that tag in spoiler...
Guess I'll just bookmark for now, and read later

 

It looks like it would make a decent prologue or first chapter, but as a oneshot it leave a lot to be desired.

 

So for you H of HERO is silent, but that only leaves you with ERO bro. Although, that might actually be true. Heroes are lecherous beings.

 

how? everything is over. the rebellion ended he got the relationship he wanted, happiness forever after until the next psicopath appears, unless you expect a slice of life with the princess i don't know what to do
