Thomas was born into a royal family, the father was the king but while Thomas grew up he never had interest of being the king. Thomas was able to graduate from secondary school but didn't want to further his education, he developed interest in becoming a police man, he bought the form got recruited not minding he was the heir to the throne. Few years after employment, he has been managing his small salary as a single man but he felt he needed a soul mate.
Soul mate! he thought. It is barely two years he got employed, no promotion, no investment, just the small salary which is not even enough to meet his basic needs. How will I take care of my wife if I get married now? after so much thinking he concluded that ways will be open for him. This is someone who the father has enough to even spare but he didn't want anything to do with throne, so the option of meeting his father wasn't involved.
A year after he decided to get married he was able to save some money for the marriage. He got married to the woman he loved but life became more difficult as he could barely provide for the house, where all they looked up to was the salary which only comes at the end of the month. It is not even a stipend that can serve them till the next salary, so they ended up not being able to feed well or even cloth well.
With the difficulties they faced Thomas insisted that wife should get pregnant, the wife was trying to explain things to him but he failed to listen. The wife had no choice other than to accept what the husband said, when she got pregnant she hardly had what to feed but was able to survive it till when she delivered. Thomas was happy he now has an offspring and what makes it more beautiful was that the wife gave birth to a male child, Thomas has never been happy the way he was when the wife delivered.
Ten years in service, Thomas never lived the life he wanted because he kept on adding burdens to the the existing ones why because he never sat down to plan. Just this interval Thomas now has three children, two in nursery School, the remaining child the wife was still breastfeeding. Thomas was never able to plan, maybe that is why he saw he couldn't rule his kingdom.
Years passed as he was struggling for them to feed, no quality education for the children, no assets. In his twenty five years in service a call came through his phone and it was the Father, the father called him to tell him to return to the kingdom seeing how weak he has become, knowing that in no distant time he will join his ancestors.
This is the period were Thomas would have understood how the tradition works and get to stay till when the Father would die. He bluntly told the father he is not interested in coming back, the father pleaded with him but he refused. Not too long after the call, just three years the Father died, Thomas failed to ask for retirement and return back to the kingdom.
Few months after the death of the king, the kingdom needed a new King, they called for Thomas but he didn't show up. A man who was not from the royal family developed interest in the throne since he was working with the king as the secretary, he went further to tell the elders that he should be acting as the King till when they will crown the new king. The elders allowed it since they saw he was capable.
Shortly after Thomas retirement, situations became really worst as the pension was no where compared to the salary he earned while on service because all other allowance were removed leaving him with just the fixed salary.
Thomas and the family could not survive it again, so they decided to move back to his kingdom, on reaching there he realized that someone was on the throne already.
The opportunity the elders gave to the secretary was for him to act as the king till when they crown the new king but the Secretary tentacles have all gone round as the new king leaving no room for Thomas to be the king again.
Thomas has now developed interest and he wants to get what belongs to him as the heir to the throne. The fight now was between Thomas and the secretary which resulted to them going into the metaphysical aspect to fight, unfortunately for Thomas he wasn't strong enough which led to his death in the process of fighting.
