AHHH

AITA for lying to save my own life?

I (21M) was born with magic powers in a village near a kingdom in which magic is outlawed. Apparently, I’m some long foretold sorcerer with a destiny to protect that kingdom’s prince.

Anyway, I can’t NOT use magic, but also, I HAD to move to that kingdom. Partially because the guy who is teaching me how to control my powers is there, but also because of destiny, apparently.

Yeah. It’s a long story. I found out through a dragon. I have a stupid destiny. But I digress.

I haaated the prince at first, but I’ve really grown to like him and he trusts me a lot. I’m technically his servant, but he lets me get away with a lot and brings me with him into battle. I save his life using magic behind his back, but since, remember, he’s sorta the prince of illegal magic kingdom, I can’t tell him I have magic or he will literally have to kill me!!

Anyway, he’s king now, and I’ve actually had to enchant him before to get him to make the right choice in a battle against his evil half sister. I didn’t feel good about taking away his free will, but he didn’t fully understand the situation. Then again, he couldn’t understand the situation because I refused to tell him. Then again, I refused to tell him because it would involve ADMITTING TO TREASON and GETTING MY HEAD CHOPPED OFF.

I really don’t want my head chopped off.

And I mean, he’s my friend. I like to think he wouldn’t chop off my head.

But I don’t want to make him choose between me and the law—and we are diametrically opposed.

It’s my destiny to protect him, but I don’t only do it because of that. I do it because I care about him, and I couldn’t bear to lose him, and he’s an IDIOT who keeps almost dying, so it’s a good thing he’s got me.

But protecting him involves breaking the law. Hence I must constantly lie to my friend and king, hiding from him a part of myself so innate that I couldn’t get rid of it if I tried. I AM a sorcerer. This fact cannot be erased. It does make me a walking crime though.

I don’t know.

I feel bad for lying, but not for protecting him. And I don’t see any other choice.

AITA?

OP I CAN AND WILL WRITE ESSAYS ON THOSE TWO/ THEIR RELATIONSHIPS AND I AM SO NOT NORMAL ABOUT THEM WELCOME

Help me

POV: you're new to Tumblr and a avid defender of sokeefe but you begin to scroll and see all the sokeefe and Keefe hate

fr though I don't dislike Fitz or anything I just love Keefe *sobs in simp* and I really like Sophie *sobs in gets attached to main characters really easily*

Sophie and Keefe are incredibly complex characters with amazing chemistry and I can't help but ship them (i'm sorryyy)

I also despise that fact that I had to preface my last paragraph with the fact that I don't hate Fitz! Sokeefe shippers do not all have a burning hatred towards all things anti Sokeefe ok

I'm just saying this because I'm genuinely scared. Please don't kill me
