"Hello, Papa" I say carying some dishes and trays into our cottage.
"Hello Steven" He says picking up random items off the ground and returning them to there proper spot.
"Papa, Why do we have to move?"
"Steven, I have to go and fight in a war, you know that."
"I know but why do I have to move, why cant I stay and run the farm?"
"Can you go to the market and get me some vegitables and fruits?" He says changing the subject.
"Yes father, but we will talk more about this when I get back"
"Sure, but get everything I need"
I walked down a gravel path until I stumbled upon a marketplace.
"I think this is where father sent me" I say aloud.
"Hello young man" A tall man walked up to me.
"Hello, sir"
"Your William's son, am I correct?
"Yes, Stevens the name" I say shaking his hand firmly.
"You have a great firm grip" he says as he looks down at my hand.
"I get it from working out in the fields"
"Well I got a letter from the king a couple days ago....."
"Your father is going to be executed tonight at death Rowe." He said faking a sad face.
"But, why?
"He has committed treason, young fellow"
"Sorry to say kid, but you can't live here anymore"
"You will be sent to the Bell Tower"
"Excuse me?" I say shedding a tear.
"You will be watched and raised to join the army"
"I just wish your father made correct decisions......"
