The Zombie and his Existential Crisis. Chantal Spies
kitten out of a tree when he thought no one was looking. Then there were rumors that he placed pieces of bread and fruit on the window frames of the orphanage at night.
Evil or not, the people of the land seemed to feel at ease having the duke run things with Fox by his side. That’s why Minna didn’t find it too strange when she heard that the council was wondering whether she might marry him. Minna had already prepared herself to live the life her parents had told her about. It was about duty, not love. In fact, she was all set to marry the Herment, but then Frederick came along.
There was an instant attraction. Even though he wasn’t as sleek and put together as the other princes, he had a strange, awkward charm about him. She found his dark humor very appealing. There wasn’t much of that cheeky sense of humor left though, she remembered sadly. Then again, being undead was probably a major downer.
Things were different. First off, he was dead, and she wasn’t. Then there were other more complicated matters. Frederick wasn’t officially a prince anymore - he had no land. After his death, his country fell back in the hands of his greedy uncle. Frederick ended up ruling only for a short while, until his uncle advised him to strengthen the bond with their allies through marriage. That’s when Frederick and Lord George traveled to Ginthonia to introduce himself as a potential suitor for Minna.
The princess remembered how appalled she was when Frederick’s uncle did not even send a carriage to collect their bodies. Strangers had to bury him in a foreign country. Before Frederick passed over to the other side, he would first have to go pay his greedy uncle a visit and give him the fright of his life, she thought. But her beloved Prince Frederick and Lord George might not even make it that far.
