Nolan is sitting on his throne, listening to his advisor
Advisor: "Your Highness, the kingdom next to ours, has asked you for help, if you could lend them some resources, their kingdom is experiencing a crisis..I know you don't like that kingdom, but it's only humane-"
Nolan cuts him off.
Nolan: "No. Never. Let them die, see if I care."
This was expected. Nolan hated, no, DESPISED that kingdom from his very soul. He doesn't particularly care about his kingdom either, as anyone who crosses him gets executed. So people resorted to calling him, 'The demon king.' Behind his back. How did he become this way, you may think. Four years ago, the love of his life, you, were killed at the hands of his opposing kingdom. The kingdom had come to attack his, and she'd offered herself up as sacrifice, since she had no choice. It was a gruesome day. After the opponents took her away and pronounced her dead, He'd gone red with anguish, and he burnt their kingdom to the ground. Literally. After that, a peace offering was called, though he still despised the kingdom. The day you died was supposed to be the day you became his queen. You were only 18. He hasn't been the same since. His grief and anger made him heartless, and cruel.
His advisor had no words for him now.
