THE LOST PRINCE RETURN FOR VENGANCE

Chapter 8 The unknown, taken unaware.

Who are those people Benedith asked Scandious while staring at them.

They came with their horses which made Benedith believe, they came from a far place. Their hands contain swords and their bodies were covered with black making it hard for people to recognize them.

All this while, Scandious mind was occupied on how to approach them without a fight occurring. He silently prayed that nothing should happen to his family, they are all he got in life.

"If something should happen it should be me not them he silently prayed".

We will conquer them Benedith assured him, thanks he replied staring at them through the window.

"Who are you and what brought you to my house? Mr Zack asked drawing near t them. At one point, he stopped walking and stood at a particular place.

We are here for the Crown Crince their master said jumping down from the horse, you are at the wrong place Mr. Zack replied confidently.

If I may ask, why are you looking for him he asked staring at them strangely, you are not meant to know, just provide him their leader replied and draw out his cutlass.

Seeing they meant every word they say, Mr. Zack became scared that something bad might happen to Scandalous.

"Bring him out there leader commanded, immediately two warriors replied rushing out about to take a step.

"Where do you think you're going?"

People don't enter my house without my permission Mr Zack said blocking their way.

Benedict came out dressed in black, her long hair packed in polythene. Who are you? the leader asked about seeing her.

Am whom you think am I she replied confidently. you don't know us neither how dangerous we are a voice said from the mist of the high-killers, same with me Benedith replied to them with the same tone.

I will advise you to go back to wherever you're coming from, you came to the wrong place she said with authority and confidence, let us see what their leader replied.

"Immediately they charged at Benedith and her Father".

An arrow was shoot at Benedith which she dodged, she was charged into a fight the rest followed immediately fighting her skillfully.

She was fighting trying her best to dodge their attacks.

An arrow hit her left hand causing her to shout out in pain but she kept fighting not ready to be a loser.

Scandious came out staring at them narrowly, stop the leader ordered them. All weapons were withdrawn right away.

" Follow us and there will be no fight nor shedding of blood their leader instructed Scandious. If I don't he challenged him, then we will follow the hard way the leader replied".

Scandious walked to Mr zack who was staring at the high-killers with fear.

"Please I want you to hide somewhere safe whispered to his hearing which he agreed right away pleading with Scandaious to keep his daughter safe before snicking out".

Go back and tell them am not coming he said, daring them in the face. "Do you think you can live this time? who saved you years ago won't save you today I promise you, you are dying that I will make sure of" the leader said with authority.

Mr Zack kept walking with fear he saw a long thing on the floor from afar, he walked one side with fear trying to see what it is.

This is the first time he's seeing people as dangerous as this which made him feel more scared.

"Ahh"!

He shouted running back on seeing a snake.

He bends down trying to catch his breath after running a long distance for his safety.

He stood up but saw somebody running in his direction with a sword sweating previously, he became more scared thinking he is part of them.

Maybe they are here to kill me he thought shifting back.

"Pleased don't kill me he plead shivering with fear".

You don't need to fear, am Thaius, Scandious friend.

"I have been "secretly guiding" him from the day I found out he's alive.

Am aware they came to attack him and are there heading to.

Please follow this direction you will meet a man, tell him am the one who directed you to him Thaius said hurriedly.

Please don't allow anything to happen to them Mr. Zack said slowly. I will do my best he assured him and ran away immediately.

Tell them to be careful Mr. Zack said and turned to look at Thaius but saw nobody, he shook his head and continue his journey.

"Helpless children he muttered".

Reaching the place, he saw Scandious who was bleeding from his leg. He joined the fight immediately and did a left kick which send one to the floor, he took his weapon and charge towards their leader.

They were fighting like angry captains who have been looking for ways to vent their anger on each other.

Finally, you're here.

I've seen you're ready to die in my hands today their leader said to Thaius who didn't bother to reply to him.

Trying to stab him, he kicked him with his leg which made him let go of his neck immediately.

Thaius picked a knife from the floor and charge towards him which he dodged holding his hand.

"You think you can kill me he asked Thaius and Smirke at him".

They were fighting about who will have the knife when he saw Benedith beating up, blood kept flowing from different parts of her body.

He left the knife and ran to her, stabbing the man's neck (high-killer).

Rest he said to her in a hurry and ran out and he started fighting another person.

The fight continued leaving Scandious with different wounds, blood dripping from his body which he don't bother himself for.

Bend Thaius Shouted at the top of her voice seeing a knife thrown at Scandious, he tried to dodge it but wasn't fast, and the knife stab his neck causing him to stagger back, holding his neck which started popping out blood.

"Within an hour, Thaius brought down the warriors who were assigned to help the High-killers".

"Only a few of the High-killers were left".

They were fighting skillfully, the high killers beat Thaius up so that all he can was plead for mercy.

Scandious made sure he was around Thaius keeping an eye on him, he made sure he covered him up by fighting anybody who attacks him.

The high-killers became frightened seeing how Thaius is killing them with no mercy, they ran for their lives leaving their horse behind.

Thaius who was bleeding seriously removed his clothes and tired on his wounded hand which kept bleeding causing him to groan out in pain.

Let's go Thaius muttered walking slowly.

They got to the house where Thaius introduced himself to them.

Take it easy he said out of pain.

Sorry, Benedith muttered bandaging his wounded hand. Done she voiced out stepping back, she stare at her work and smiled brightly, I did perfect work she complimented herself.

"How did you know where am living? Scandalous who has been quietly asked Thaius.

I can remember telling you to stay away from me, what do you people want from a poor man like like me he asked enraged.

Am not here to harm you but rather to save you.

Is unfortunate you lost your memory but I will like you to ponder on what am about to say, is nothing but the truth.

You're the Crown Prince of this land which is why they attacked you he said, staring intensively at him.

What kind of joke is this? I asked you a question and you're vomiting rubbish. What do you want from me he yelled at him.

Calm down Thaius pleaded with him which he paid deaf ear to.

Why not hear him out first Mr. Zack said, touching his shoulder lightly.

After some minutes, he calmed down sitting down angrily, staring at Thaius who stare back at him.

After I saw the moll at your back with the one at your armpit, I did some investigation to know who you are.

Why will do an investigation about me for what reason?, didn't I tell you you are nobody? what else do you want to hear he yelled at him cutting him off.

Did you think you would've been alive by now if not for the investigation? can't you open your eyes and see you're someone important and precious which is why they're after your life?

The investigation stated that you're the Crown Prince who they tried to murder some few years ago, though everybody thought you're dead considering the fact we've seen nor heard anything about the incident nor the people behind it.

I was beyond shocked when I found out is you, I didn't believe it till I figured out they were planning to attack you.

Am Thaius your only friend, I know you will not believe me but please think about it.

Why did you think they will attack a nobody like you as you said?

They want to kill you by all means which is why am here to protect you.

You will have to learn some fighting skills to protect yourself. I can teach you how to fight because they're coming back for you and you have to defend yourself.

Though Nobody knows who's behind the attack but am sure the person is close and is watching you.

"You've to braze up and understand who you are, even though you don't remember anything. I believe is a matter of time before your memory will come back".

Am only here to protect you not as the Crown prince but as my only friend.

"I don't want to lose you again".

Life without you is hard and Ifindt lesinterethnican sting a reason to live.

You have to believe me he said staring at him.

"This is hilarious"

Do you want me to believe all these things you've been saying?

"If is meaningful to you, to me is meanless'.

"I don't see any reason to believe you".

Now listen and listen well.

"I can manage to associate with you, but don't mistake me for someone am not".

Am not your Crown Prince nor is there any similarity between us.

Having a moll is not enough reason to conclude is your dead Crown Prince, Please don't make the sure costly mistake again.

I won't tolerate it from anybody. I've had a hard enough hard time in my life, adding more to it is what I won't accept.

Don't ever raise this topic again he warned him and glarhardly at him before facing Mr. Zack

"Excuse me he said and walked away furiously.

I need to check on the king, I called him but he didn't pick up my calls which is unlike him, he even turn off his phone who knows something might have happened at the palace he said, are you going with this your wounded arm? Benedict asked, borrow me yours will accept Thaius replied.

You two are something else, when going to the palace wear something that will cover your wounded hand Mr. Zack informedThaius.

Make sure nobody traces you, you can disguise yourself when coming back you know they will be looking for the prince to knowers we're about Mr. Zack added, I will do as you said Thaius replied.

"The Queen became so angry on hearing the mission failed" she ordered the informants to be beheaded which was carried out by the palace guards she selected to do the job.

One of her Informants managed to escape. The ordinary simple mission they can't carry you she thought. As she was contemplating walking feeling restless, the king walked in with his guards following him

Are you alrighty? he asked staring at her Intensively, yes my king am perfectly alright you should have ordered my presence not disturbing yourself, forgive me for making his highness worried she said bowing lightly.

Stand up my precious queen, I want us to visit a place he said, where the queen questioned immediately looking frightened.

Are you scared of something? the king asked, no why should I be she replied, then prepare in a few hours we will be going the King said, and left her room.

Why is all this happening now the coronation is approaching? , where is he taking me to she asked herself.

After much thinking about it, she came up with an idea, I will pretend to be seriously sick then he will have no other choice than to go without me.

Next time I will make it up to him she said smiling. Remembering the Crown Prince her countenance changed to an angry one.

Scarlett is in her room charting with her friends when she heard voices.

Straight away, she hides her phone pretending like one who's in a deep sleep. I will catch her today, She thinks she can cheat on my Dad Scarlett thought with hatred towards her Mother, concerning her cheating attitude.

Her mother entered her room and covered her with the thick blue duvet, goodnight my princess she muttered an off her room light and left for her room

.

Discovering she is out of sight, Scarlett stood up from her bed and peeped through the keyhole.

"There she saw her Mum with the man she claimed as her business partner. Nodding her head slowly, she brought out her phone ready to video them".

As they were having their fun, the door clicked open and Mr. Williams walked in with his briefcase, devoted to their business, they didn't notice his presence till water landed on their body.

What! Mrs. Williams shouted on seeing her husband, the young man took his clothes and ran out of the house immediately leaving his wristwatch on the floor.

so this is what you have been doing in my house? Mr Williams asked looking shocked.

Not saying any other word he walked to his room and shut the door crying silently.

On the other hand, Mrs Williams was standing still shocked by what just happened now.

She can still remember clearly when he said her has a business trip today which made her invite her sex mate.

Still not able to understand what happened, she kept staring at nothing in particular wearing her clothes wrongly. Not able to admit it was her husband she saw she pinch herself to know if she was dreaming.

Seeing she was not dreaming, tears started flowing, slowly she sat down on the floor and bowed her face weeping like a baby. What have I done to myself? she asked crying with regrets.
