King of Griffindale Chapter 12 - The Inevitable Exile
Cyrus covered his face, trying to process everything he had discovered so far. He had thought telling his mother about his exile would be too much for her to bear, but instead, everything she was telling him felt that way. So his father had seen this coming and prepared a way for his son ahead of time? His mother had also been accumulating wealth just so her son could stand a chance against all possible odds. He felt butterflies in his stomach, not knowing what to say. She placed both hands on her son's cheeks. "You have grown into a fine young man," she said. "You are my pride and joy. So know that even if you fail, I couldn't have asked for a better son." Then she brought both hands down and gestured towards the chest in the dark corner of the room. "Help yourself." Cyrus seemed reluctant to do so, and she understood why. "She didn't restrain you from taking at least a sack of gold, did she?" asked Thea. Cyrus looked back at her as if uncertain about the para
King of Griffindale Chapter 13 - Stepping Up
"Hey, did none of you see us here?" one of them asked. "You don't seem to be from around here. Are you? We are members of the Dakra, and we demand your respect." But the young stranger did not look at him. Instead, he picked up his cup, ready to gulp down his drink. As he did, the man swatted the cup from his hand, causing the drink to spill on his body. The stranger was now covered in mead, giving off the strong stench of alcohol while the others laughed. The young man got up from his seat and faced the men without fear, while Felix sighed in the background, wondering how it had come to this under his watch. He walked around the counter to where the confrontation was occurring and stood between both parties, placing a hand on the stranger's chest. "I don't know what trouble you're trying to stir up, but it's enough," Felix said. The stranger looked back at him and asked, "Will you pay for my drink, then?" Felix sighed. "Fine, it'll be on the house," he said. "
King of Griffindale Chapter 14 - Real Sanity
"What did you say?" asked Felix with a sudden frown, and Cyrus immediately took note. "Are you the Felix I'm looking for?" asked Cyrus, but Felix did not respond. "Wow, that makes us cousins! It's a thrill to meet you! Where is your mother?" That final question felt so provocative that Felix felt he didn't need to answer. Cyrus felt like he had struck a nerve but wasn't sure what he did wrong. "Hello?" Cyrus called. "Did I say anything inappropriate?" "Where is YOUR mother?" Felix asked Cyrus instead, with both hands folded. Cyrus arched his brow. "At the King's residence? She told me about both of you and extended her greetings to you as well." "How typical," Felix said. "I always told my mother that her sister didn't care anymore, yet she kept defending her, saying that she would have helped if she could." "Helped?" asked Cyrus. "Helped with what?" "My mother was sick," Felix said to him. "For almost three years. And for the past eight months, she w
King of Griffindale Chapter 15 - Come With Me
"So, where are the rest of you?" Cyrus asked as they approached the door. The other two remained silent for some time, unsure of what to say. It seemed as though all the optimism they had just felt had fizzled out upon hearing that question. "Let's just say that they are the only ones eager to join you in the fight," said Felix from behind. Cyrus turned back to face him, as did the others. "You can't force them to protect their own home, Cyrus," Felix said to him before turning to face the others. "But there has to be something we can do, right?" asked Eros. "Three days might sound like too little, but I believe we can use it for something worthwhile." "Two days," Cyrus corrected him. "What?" he asked. "We cannot assume that those bullies will keep their word. Chances are they will group up and attack when our guard is down," Cyrus replied. "We can't take them at their word on this." "Good point," John said. "But that only makes things harder." Cyrus smiled as he faced Felix.
King of Griffindale Chapter 16 - Selfless Volunteers
Richard looked at Felix, who was now frowning at him as if he had broken a sacred promise. "He wishes to fight the Dakra with us," he said to Richard. "What happened with the Dakra?" asked Richard. "They came to cause trouble at the tavern, but the Prince single-handedly fought and sent them walking away in shame," Felix said. "Now they wish to come back for revenge, promising to be back with an army in three days to return the favor because they think we hired an outsider to make a mockery of them." Richard arched a brow, trying to comprehend that line of reasoning. "That's silly," he said. "I know, right?" replied Felix. Richard sighed before looking back at Cyrus. "Tell you what," he said. "Prove to me and everyone that you would be a far better leader by leading this village to victory against the Dakra when the time comes. If you do so, I will put my faith in you and follow you for the rest of my days. Does that sound good?" Cyrus sighed. "That would be quite difficult, not
King of Griffindale Chapter 17 - Proud Bird
Cyrus had to sleep, but found it difficult to do so, perhaps because he was nervous about what to do next. By his estimation, it was less than two days before the Dakra would invade the village, and he would somehow have to teach the villagers everything they needed to know before then. Basic combat was something he was taught in three weeks and mastered over two months. Now he had to magically compress the entire course into 24 hours, not accounting for rest and timeout. Realistically, he knew that the village was screwed. There wasn't another way to put it. But at the same time, he just couldn't think like that. He realized several hours had passed while he was still worrying about this, and he had a long day ahead of him. So he had to force himself to sleep, and eventually, he succeeded. But it wasn't long after when he heard a loud knock on the door, immediately jolting him out of slumber. By the time his eyes were open, he closed them back immediately as the sudden rush of dayl
King of Griffindale Chapter 18 - Sparring & A Free Meal
Robin got to his feet, swatting off the dust from his clothes while the others looked at him without saying anything. He didn't need them to say anything, though, as he knew they were all disapproving of what he had done. In that same manner, Robin turned away, dragging his pitchfork as he retired to his home. "Aren't you going to stay with us?" asked Eros. "We are just about to start." Robin gave no answer as he got back into his hut and shut the door closed. He couldn't even bring himself to look back at them, thanks to his hurt ego. Eros called his name one more time before another one of them placed his hand on his shoulder and shook his head. "Let him cool off," he said. "Don't force it." "In his current situation, we'd be better off without him anyway," John added. Then the man who had stopped Eros looked back at Cyrus. He was a tall man with a great muscular build, probably the largest of all of them, and had a docile outlook. Cyrus was starting to like him. "What is your
King of Griffindale Chapter 19 - The Dakra Attack!
Of course, Cyrus couldn't sleep well that night as nightmares of the worst-case scenario tormented his mind. It might have been that he would die in the upcoming battle, that he would never be King of Griffindale because of it, and that his quest would end with the destruction of the village. These were the nightmares that tormented him, and when he woke up, it was almost daybreak, and he couldn't get back to sleep. He had struggled to sleep because of his anxiety, but when he finally could, the bad dreams wouldn't let him be. He got out of his bed and strapped on his armor and weapons. Somehow, he knew this would be the day, even though it had only been two full days since the promised Dakra invasion. After getting ready, he left his money and other things that weren't needed for the battle behind and left the room. He walked out of the Inn and into the tavern, where he saw Felix cleaning the tables and setting the cups and plates at the counter. "Good morning," he greeted, and Fel
