Keith looked at the man standing in front of him he was still not sure if it was possible or his mind was playing tricks on him. “You were dead, I was looking for your body. But there was no sign of it anywhere. I don't believe that you hid from us all these years to do what? Join the enemy and try to kill me.” Keith was filled with rage, he thought that there was no way what he was seeing was the truth, but he couldn't fool himself.“You could have dropped it all, you could have joined us, Keith. Your Uncle had the best interest of everyone and you had to meddle in something that never mattered to you.” Kruger was looking at Keith, “Now I see why, you wanted the throne all along.” “You know I never wanted this, even when I was meant to be crowned I didn't want to take it.” Keith was trying to get things out of the way and talk to his friend. “You could have turned a blind eye when your uncle told you his plan. He wanted to make sure that we ruled this continent and you had to make
“So tell me, are you the one that attacked Marx?” Keith was looking at Kruger, his heart filled with rage and his blood boiling with pure anger. Keith was looking at his former ally, a man who he once called brother standing in front of him with a devilish smirk on his face.Kruger smirked when he heard Keith’s question, he knew that any answer he would give would be what would trigger the fight. “Who else do you think was able to beat him? We both know that even if these men were up to a hundred none of them would have grazed him. He is a demon just like you, but you all could never pin me down that is why it was easy for me to make a fool out of him.”Keith had gotten his answer, he looked at Dustin before taking his stance. “Very well Dustin, I will make sure that I don’t let you leave here alive.” Keith had decided to kill Dustin even if it was going to be the last thing he did.“Oh my, Bring it on!” Dustin was craving for the fight, he wanted Keith to fight with his full strength
Marcus had gotten the message that Kain had failed to kill Keith, he had to send Kruger to help his brother before things got out of hand. “I told him that facing Keith is a death wish, but he wouldn't listen. Now he will not have to bear the pain of his ignorance.” Marcus knew that something like this would happen, he had made sure that he would have someone strong enough to fight Keith. But he didn't know anyone who could do such a thing and survive. But then someone had come out of nowhere to meet Marcus, and he offered to help him with Keith. At first, Marcus looked at the man like he was a psychopath and he was trying to make things worse for him until he noticed that the man had a blade that only the imperial soldiers would hold. “And why should I trust you? You might be working with Keith for all I know.” Marcus was looking at him like there was something a bit wrong with Kruger in the head. “Trust is an overrated asset, I am not telling you to trust me but I will tell you
Lucas had picked up Keith, the first he noticed that Keith was roughed up badly and there was no sign of any injuries on him but he looked like he had seen a ghost. “Sir, are you okay?” Lucas was looking at Keith trying to know if he would get him to say something that would make him say anything. Keith looked at the young lad and smiled at him. “Drive me to the hospital, I want to see how Marx is doing.” Keith remained quiet, running through his head was the fact that had seen his childhood friend. Someone whom everyone thought was dead, how was that even possible? ‘Dustin, I don't know what happened to you but I will find out.’ A few minutes later Lucas took Keith to the city hospital, Keith didn't waste any time rushing into the hospital looking for his friend Marx, he got to the ward where he saw Jacquline sitting there. He saw the look on his face and he knew that there was something wrong with him, “Jacquline, what happened to him?” Keith was a bit confused, he had never see
Marcus and Kain had reached back to their apartment, they were keeping a low profile while in the city trying to make sure that no one would ever pin their location. “I need to know who that man Kruger is and why he would even think of helping us out when he has an imperial blade.” Marcus knew that if he was to make a mistake it would cost him his life and his brother’s life potentially. There was no telling what Kruger could do or what he was planning to do. Kain sat down trying to make sure he didn't break any major bones in his body. “All I can say is that he is not someone you want as an enemy, even though he had it tough with Keith he is still a warrior like Keith. I don't even know what was scarier to me. The fact that their blows sent shockwaves or that he was laughing while fighting Keith. “If nothing then I know he is a maniac that needs to be watched.” Kain was not going to forget what he had seen that easily and there was no telling what Kruger's motives were. He was n
Keith was still thinking of what had happened with Dustin, he was not even thinking straight. He knew that he had a few hours before he would meet Marx, he was trying to make sure that nothing would shift his mind from what he was going to do. Keith was taken to his new mansion, which was close to his former home the Kendricks Mansion which was a few blocks away from him. It was like an invitation to be bugged by them once more. Keith looked at the luxurious mansion Marx had prepared for him and knew there was no way he would even think of leaving it for anything. ‘He does know how to make sure I feel comfortable, but there is no way I would have the slightest idea of what I am meant to do here alone.’ Keith walked into the mansion, he was still looking around noticing the decor matched the one of his former apartment that was destroyed. Keith smiled a bit when he walked up to his room, he saw on the bed that his sword was placed there alongside his imperial dagger and other things
“Oh, I see he is the one that has been making you feel happy all this time.” Bishep smiled, he was happy to know that his granddaughter was okay. “Now look here please be careful, your parents informed Lionel about everything.” “I dont know why they want you to marry him but please be careful, I know he has been to the hotel and he will make sure that no matter what it would take him he will try to take you back to his mansion.” Noelle knew that her grandfather was not wrong, Lionel had almost succeeded twice in the past and if it wasn't for Keith on multiple occasions she would have been taken to Lionel. “I understand grandfather, but how am I going to be able to survive this for long? He has been tailing since I turned 22 and it has never been easy for me in any way.” “I know my little princess, but you see there is no way for you to think of this in another way. Make sure that you dont make them take control of you no matter what it takes. You have the right to choose who you m
“I should be the one saying that but I guess you beat me to it, you have a beautiful mansion here.” Noelle was still admiring the mansion as she walked in, it was like there was nothing left for her to see but the amazing decor. “It's just my home Lady Noelle, I know it's not much to where your family stays.” Keith smiled when he looked at Noelle, he didn't want to let her feel uneasy. Noelle was lost admiring the designs she saw in the house, it was something that no one would even think of seeing anywhere else. “Well, I know you think this is how the houses on 2nd Hudra District look like, there is only one house that looks like this and it's the Kendricks Mansion.” Keith knew that his mansion bared a stylish resemblance with Eleanor's family home and it was something that he couldn't shake off that easily. “Apart from their house I have not seen any other house that has this sort of decor.” Noelle looked around before turning to Keith, she noticed that he was more settleed than
