task 003; absence. Hans misses the only person who's ever loved & cared for him, his mother Sanne.
It was never a secret in the Westergaard family that Hans was regarded as the runt of his father's litter. The isolation his Mother endured as the youngest wife, the bullying he put up with as the weakest son, both of them being tossed to the bottom of the pile like trash. Sanne could have cut her losses and ran, she could have divorced and left him in that wicked, cruel palace with his awful father and barbaric brothers. But Sanne was kind, and loving and strong in ways no man could ever begin to comprehend, she stayed for love. She stayed for her son & lived with the consequences of it.
Dear Maman,
There's so much I want to tell you I don't even know where to start so lets begin with the obvious. I love you, and I miss you every single day. There is not an hour that passes that I don't think of you alone with those monsters. There is not a moment where I don't wish eternal misery to my godforsaken halfwit brothers and living corpse of a Father. I worry for you and your safety. I worry about what will happen when Niels finally takes over, where you will end up or what pathetic housing and allowance he will give you. Most of all I worry he would be evil enough to make you his wife, not that you would accept of course. I hope to be home by the time Father passes. I hope its my blade that pierces through his heart, and Niels, and anyone else who would dare get in our way. I hope to make the palace run red with their blood for the live they gave you, gave us. Have a glorious throne made of their bones fashioned for you as Queen Mother. I hope to return with alliances and armies that would grant us protection from anyone who would try challenge my claim. I have not forgotten my role in all of this. I have not forgotten about you and the life you have lived for me, to protect me. I do not take your love for granted and I swear to you, on my own life, that I will get us what is rightfully ours. I will repay you, I will avenge you for what it cost to be his wife. I will come home and I will tear down his empire brick by brick with bare hands and we will build a new Kingdom, and it shall have a new Queen.
Perhaps that last line was misleading, because Mother I have the most incredible news. Delight that will shock you and fill your bleeding heart with joy; I am going to be a Father. You will be a Grandmother, and I know it is not what either of us expected when I came to Evermore but I know how happy you will be to hear of it. Even better is that for the first time there will be a baby girl. This torture, toxicity, awfully cruel, hierarchy ends with her. There will be no one to challenge her claim or question her lineage, because even though I haven't met her yet; just like I would do it for you, I would kill anyone who dared try hurt her in anyway. Her Mother is called Aurora, like the borealis, is beautiful. She is soft, kind and deserving of everything wonderful. But I will be the first to admit I haven't been kind to her as of late. I was so worried I would end up like him. I didn't want a boy, I didn't want to be a Father knowing what Niels and Father would do if they found out. But I have decided it no longer matters because they will never meet either of my girls, at least not outside of a casket.
We are still a long way away from the due date, and everyday brings a more heightened level of anxiety but yet a clearer train of thought. Aurora has land, connections, parents who hold real power. Our daughter will grow up to lead two Kingdoms, and with Aurora's help we can change the course of the Westergaard name and turn it into something good. I know what I have to do. I know how I must make this world different for my Mother, my Daughter and my--- well I don't really have a name for Aurora to be honest. I considered proposing but it seemed tacky. Independent women and all that. My baby will bring opportunities you and I have been waiting years for. She will bring us alliances and land, power and connections. My baby will be the key to the happy ending you and I have been yearning for all these years. I know what I have to do and I will kill anyone who gets in our way.
I wish you were here. I wish I didn't have to do this alone, but I understand why. Please just hold on a little longer. I will bring you the peace we are deserved, the crown you are owed. I will bring you your Granddaughter, Queen of two Countries. I promise you, Maman, things are going to change and we will make them suffer.
I must have missed the memo about ambition being a bad thing. Since when was having a predetermined goal considered to be sinister? Would anyone else care if I had of been some nobody from the suburbs? Why does it seem like everyone else is allowed to dream of fame and fortune but when someone from a classier background does it we are considered shallow? Shallow to me would be marrying purely based on looks, however I am a gentleman. I look deeper than the social beauty standards. I look into the hearts of these young ladies, the nice necklace she wears, the family connection to said necklace and the dowry it comes with. I am a man of principle, of good intentions and a person who keeps his promises. And the main promise I have made is to myself, why should I settle for any less than I deserve? Why is that every single one of my brothers gets a happy ending while I am scraping the barrel for what is left? It was their mistake to overlook and underestimate the youngest. I have nothing left to lose, therefore I’m willing to do whatever it takes to secure the life I am destined for.
Thirteenth son to a Danish-American lord. Hans family is connected to the Danish Royal Family. Hans never stood a chance at being King, even if something terrible happened to all brothers he’d still have cousins to deal with.
The Westergaards are running out of money and his selfish older brothers are not willing to share their self made fortunes with him. This is only fueling his power hungry desire to be successful.
Attached to his lavish life of luxuries and with his families fame, Hans used social media platforms to his advantage gaining sponsorship deals to fund his lifestyle while his trust fund dwindled down.
He’s planning on finding himself a wealthy wife to help him stay relevant and rich. And with that money he will build his own empire and take down his brothers one by one.
Hans has no memories of his previous life in the Southern Isles. He is twenty six years old & uses he/him pronouns. His star sign is Leo and his signature scent is Aventus by Creed.
