*~* CHAPTER (35) THE MEDIEVAL CASTLE *~*

*~*Disclaimer*~* The story plot is the product of my imagination, where all the characters are purely fictional. I do not believe in any way that Michael was gay in real life or that he was capable of hurting children. I am a strong believer in his innocence therefore, I do not wish to offend anyone with my creativity. My intentions are to create fictional stories that are suitable for the gay community, and for readers that are willing to consider and open their minds to new ideas. Do not read or leave a bad comment if you do not understand my creativity.
