CHAPTER FOUR

When we saw the king looking at us, Peter could feel the immeasurable pressure coming from him.

‘So this is King Mark, he must be at the peak of martial knight rank’ Peter thought to himself.

Looking at the imposing man standing 1.8 meters in height, with brown hair and black eyes that give the feeling of being watched by a higher being.

“Your majesty” everybody in the training ground bowed to him as approached us.

“You may rise,” he said as he glanced around the crowd before finally resting his eyes on me and David.

 “You must be Peter right, I was watching your spar, and I must I am impressed at how you fight with a sword despite not yet in the novice rank,” he said with a look of approval, which angered Baron Paul greatly.

“Thank you for your words of encouragement your majesty,” I said as I bowed to the king.

“Paul your son seems to be improving well, but he still to train more,” he said as he looked at David.

“Thank you, my king, I will see that h trains more” he bowed to the king.

“You seem to have gotten to the peak of aura knight, it won’t be long before you enter the general knight” he nodded to Baron Paul as he walked towards Sarah and the queen.

She walked toward him with a smile on her face “welcome back, let’s go inside so that you can rest well” she suggestively, to which the king agreed and walked the palace with his on Sarah’s head.

As we all walked back to the palace Alex gave me a thumb up as I waved at him and David gave me hateful glares which I returned with a playful smirk making him angrier, like that the evening ended.

 All that is left is for me to rest well preparing for the talent selection tomorrow, I hope things go well and I wonder how my parents are doing.

I was hanging the clothes I had just finished washing out back when I saw a knight of the palace riding his horse slowly to my house.

“Please is this the Grey family house,” he asked as he approached the house looking towards me.

“Yes it is and I can I help you” I heard my husband as he came out of the house with two other men, one of which was Jamie’s father Peter’s close friend.

“I am a royal knight from the palace here to pass you a letter from your son Peter,” he said as he reached out a letter towards us with the crest of a blue lion indicating it was from the palace.

I paused when I heard him my son peter, who we all thought jumped off the cliff to save himself from that mage was sending us a letter “are you that it is my son Peter” I asked him with a shaky voice as my body tremble all over.

“Yes Miss Grey, he was the one that wrote the letter himself,” he said as I took the letter with my hands trembling.

Only God knows how I have survived over the last two weeks since that incident, now seeing a letter from her son, she was so excited.

The men saw the off as he planned to return to the palace, my husband came to me so that we could read the letter together since we both missed ours on so deeply.

“Hey mum and dad, how are you guys doing, I know that I have made both of worry a lot about me and I am sorry. I am lucky to have survived that fall and landed at the campsite of the queen under the cliff. They have been taking care of me since I go to the palace. The queen and princess are very nice even though I have not met the king yet, from what I have heard he seems to be nice too. I will be staying in the palace for a while and will contact you through letters until I am strong enough to return or get my own place to bring you guys here. And mum I know that you are expecting a child so take care of yourself and don’t worry too much, dad if anything happened to her I will cripple you. Love you guys your son peter.”

Tears was rolling down my eyes as I saw my son’s witting and I recognized it.  After we finish reading the letter and I looked at my husband whose eyes were red and trying not to cry “dear he is alive, our son is alive and doing well”.

He nodded at me as I snuggled into his embraced and cried. Soon we heard footsteps and turned to see Jamie and his father.

I gave the letter to him so he could know that his friend is ok and stop blaming himself for running away back then.

“Aunty Alice, he is really alive and living in the palace, that’s great, that’s really great,” he said as tears streamed down his face and his father patted his back.

We all knew how the boy has been suffering after losing his friend and hardly the town or even going out of his house.

He continue reading down there was a look of shock and surprise on his face, then he looked up and stare at me with shining eyes then looked at my abdomen. At moment I knew what was in his mind and rubbed it.

“Aunty Alice, you are pregnant that’s great news, I might and uncle soon,” he said as he laughed. That was something he had not done in a long time.

“You know what will be great Jamie, if you continue to train hard and not lose to Peter when you see him again, you know his quite strong,” I said to him with a smile.

The father knowing my intention gave me thumbs up. “You know Jamie, you have to train well because you have never won Peter in a spar and he has gone to place, he would come back strong so you better prepare yourself”.

Jamie raised his head and said with a serious face “I won’t lose; I will become stronger so that we can fight together and this time I won’t run away”

We looked at each other and laughed. Peter my son, become strong and protect your sibling when it is time.
