Fairytale: The child who didn't want to be king (Part 1)

NOTE: I tried making this story with some impersonal characters, like the main character. The story evoluted too much faster, and I can't continue with it... So, I'll make a list with the impersonal characters, described like they were all boys (he, him, hero...), but you have to use your own imagination. That was one of the main objectives of this story.
Oh, if you put on the music I chose, you'll enjoy more the story. But you have to put it when you get there! It means that when you arrive to the music player, you have to put on the music. When you'll read with the music, read slowly.


Once upon a time, there was a noble child who was different than the other noble childs. While the boys were wrestling and trying to make angry any girl, and the girls were playing with dolls or being disturbed by the boys, our little hero use to draw and walk through the castle's garden, smelling the flowers. He was a very sensitive person, who felt very strong his feelings. His parents misteriously dissapeared few years ago. There was an extraordinary search for them, because they were really kind people, but anyone found them.
So, our little kid grown up with his uncle Mousse, the king of the Forest Kingdom, but he felt very lonely all the time. His aunt and uncle were unable to have a child, and they want our hero to be king when Mousse pass away.
Our child didn't want that. He saw a lot of poor people in the streets of the village, and he felt very sorry for them. He couldn't understand how his uncle could rest peacefully knowing the existence of that. When he asked him, his uncle only said: "They're only trash, little." Our hero saw his uncle's face while he was saying that... And our hero understood. Without saying anything, he ran to his room, and he began to cry, knowing, scared, that he must be like that cruel one day, without any escape.
But, before he could reach his room, 3 noble children saw him. They started to make fun of him. Our unfortunated hero started to run faster, but he fell in the floor... The other 3 children laughed more louder, make him cry more. He stood up slowly, and he walked to his room, trying to stop crying, but when he locked his room's door after him, he jumped in the bed, starting to cry again.
Before he can notice, the door slamed, and his uncle Mousse grabbed his neck. The king started to shout: "MY SUCCESSOR CAN'T CRY! STOP, OR I'LL KICK YOU!" He can't stop crying; our little hero was totally scared, shouting very louder... "DAMN, SHUT UP!" His uncle threw him to the bed, and he started to go, but he said: "If I hear that you were crying, I'll kick you until you consume all your stupid tears. You heard me, don't you?"
Silence.
"DO YOU HEAR ME?!" "Yes, uncle, yes!" Said our hero trying to not cry again, trembling. After this, the king went out, slaming the door for second time...

Then, our hero layed in the bed, and the silence came again...




Our hero woke up when it was night. He couldn't hear anything in the castle, so he imagined that all were sleeping. He remembered all the day.
Then, he started to cry again.
"Why are the people cruel with me? It's unfair"
He sobbed.
"They have all they want... And I can have it too, but... The only I need..."
His tears started to ran through his rosy cheeks, falling in the bed, while he was sobbing...
"I... I... I don't want all that things... I don't want power, gold, or a lot of people at my orders..."
He looked through the window... The full moon, shining in a white light, was high in the sky, illuminating the garden. The flowers, leapt in that pure light, were closed, waiting for the sun to open again. He stopped crying, feeling a lonely sentiment.
"All I want is my parents coming back through the castle's big door. I want to embrace them again, laugh with them, create unforgotable moments... I don't want anything else..."
He started to cry again, laying down in the bed... He didn't know how much time he was crying, but, finally, he fell sleep, while a tear was still sliding slowly through his cheek...
