“Did I hear you correctly? Someone tried to kill my son?! How could you let this happen?!” Amanda snapped.Danfus just one job, one job! Which was to keep the prince safe but here he was telling her that someone tried to kill her son!“I didnt know that something like this would happen, my queen.”“Tell me you caught the bastard who try to do this! Tell me that he is behind bars so I can end his life myself!”Danfus knew that he could only offer more bad news so he decided not to answer.“My apologies, my queen. I will make sure that this does not repeat itself again.” “You couldn't catch him. Someone tried to kill my son and you couldn't even catch the person?!” I was afraid that the person wasn't alone and if I leave the prince by himself they might try to attack him while I'm not there, I should have gone with reinforcement. I am really sorry, my queen.” This is utterly unbelievable. Why would anyone want to kill my son? Why would anyone want him dead? “We are searching for e

Edward was furious. He just woke up and he found out that Danfus had been relieved of his duties..He had thought that Danfus decided to go on vacation without telling him but when he learned that this was nothing but the handy work of his mother, he was even more upset!Why did she think she had the right to tell his staff when and when to work?! Why would she relieve Danfus of his duties without informing him first?!Edward got ready, took his bath and head straight to his mother's room.She had better have a good explanation about what the meaning of all this rubbish was!

The Grandmaster was in his room, minding his own business and writing on a scroll as usual.His mind was fixated on something else, wondering how Warden's plan was going to work.The young man had presented the plan to h8m and he was writing down all the worse scenarios and how they could counter it if things go south..“Grandmaster, you have a visitor.” The maids at the entrance announced.“Let him in.” He replied.Jeff walks into the room with a scrolling in his hand, a letter with a golden seal on it.“Grandmaster, there is a letter for you.” He announced “Who is it from?” The Grandmaster asked the moment Jeff was close to him.“It has a royal seal on it.” Jeff replied.Grandmaster glances up, taken by surprise. He wasn't expecting to receive anything from the palace..If he was being honest, it was very suspicious. Why would he receive any letter from the palace, judging by his frictional relationship with the Queen currently?The Grandmaster was concerned. wondering if this was a

Keith settled in front of the Grandmaster quietly. He wondered why the old man had called him all of a sudden.“You called for me, Grandmaster?” “Yes I did.”The Grandmaster sets aside his writing pen and rolls up his letter.This will be the very first time that Keoth had seen the old man set his pen aside to discuss with him..Whatever he was here for must be very serious but Keith felt a bit nervous. He had no idea what to expect and his mind raced through a dozen reasons why the Grandmaster would have called for him.What could be so serious that the old man chose to speak with him face-to-face?Was this about the last mission? Did rumours go around about him attending the introduction ceremony?! Keith could have sworn he savaged the situation! If he didn't then this could be it for him!Keith stayed calm, waiting for him to speak first.“I recognize that you have been practising so hard, and I believe that you are qualified for whatever mission you will be assigned to.” Keith

Keith was dismissed and he made his way out of the Grandmasters room quietly. Now he was starting to wish that his cover was blown instead than to be called into this discussion. The annoying part of it was the fact thathe had no choice but to participate in this.He couldn't bring himself to believe that this had happened to him. The Grandmaster wanted him to protect the crown prince.Same man who had murdered his sister! Do they really think he will be in the right frame of mind to keep an eye on that bastard?!This was going to be a great test of his patience and Keith wasn't sure that he had enough of it..He didn't realise when he bumped into Ellinor and just before she could fall back, he pulls her by the arm, dragging her closer to him and helping her on her feet.“Are you alright?” He asked.Ellinor was quiet, staring at him blankly. As soon as Keith realised who it was, he stepped away immediately.“You should be careful next time. Watch where you are going!” he said, trying

Kelvin glances at the letter in his hands and back at Keith in disbelief.Laying on his table is a letter from the royal palace, requesting him to take up the position of King.Kelvin was a distant relative to the royal family, and it was almost like his lineage was never going to be king despite being related to the royal family..Keith glances up at Kelvin, he have been watching the young man for a while now, and he knew that this man was more than suitable for that position..“You want me to take over the position of the King? This is a huge responsibility! I don't think that I am…” “You are very vast in politics. You are kind hearted, I have tested you a thousand times in the past few months, and you have not failed one. You are just the right person for that seat..” Kelvin was visually surprised and a little bit doubtful..“I heard that the court wanted you to become king. Your father was King. It is only reasonable for you to ascend as one too..” Keith smiled. There's somethin

“Your highness you can't make such drastic decisions! The King has just been laid to rest and we need the two Princes to complete the events! Then we can ordain our new king..” Amanda was sitting on the throne, facing the court members after hours had passed.Arthur was laid in his room and his funeral will be happening the next day. She didn't waste any more time to get things started.“I understand your fears but prince Keith is nowhere to be found. The guards have searched everywhere for him but no one can find him. He seem to have dropped from the surface of the earth. We can't and I repeat we can't leave the throne empty. We need to do what is right and needful at this minute.” “What are you suggesting that we do then? We just have to keep looking for the Prince and hope that he returns one day.” A member of the court replied.“How long do we hope to wait? Eternity? The young man has just lost his father. A man he met a few days back. I don't think that he will be in the right f

It was the day of the very last competition and Keith found himself a bit anxious..Today's competition was supposed to be the display of royal gifts. It is to show everyone that he is truly his father's son. He was also given the gifts bestowed to the royal family hy the Creator.Keith glances at Edward who was more than confident in his own abilities. He had seen what Edward looks like when he isn't full control of himself , he was nothing short of a monster…Keith was worried, chances are that Edward would go out of hand as a result of this so-call display..“The events has been going smoothly and we have come to the very last one. You would have to show everyone that you are truly your father's son and this is as a result of your absence…” “We believe that the two of you have remarkable abilities, you will be forced to put you both in a combat only then can we tell the strongest..” Edward smirks at this, it was almost like he had seen it coming from a million miles away..His exc

Keith stepped out briefly a smile on his face. He felt so alive and radiant with energy..The discussion he had with Ellinor was a beautiful one that yielded results! He had expected that talk to be a direct opposite of what eventually happened! He assured her that she was safe and her that secret was safe with him..Keith decided to walk around that early morning, trying to get as much sunlight soon as possible..‘You didn't win the competition yesterday.”He turned to see Hana, someone he least expected to see at the moment!She seems to be out for the sun as well but a rather disturbed look was on her face..“And why does matter if I win or not?” Keith asked in irritation.He decided to drop the act of playing nice, it was time for her to know that she was in the wrong..“But you seemed happy. Llike you won. am sure that you want to be king as much as Edward wants it too.” She pointed out.Keith tilts his head to the side, wondering where this conversation was going to lead to..H

Keith had a smile on his face, he won this round and his points seems to be looking up really good.The most important thing was the fact that Ellinor told him his family were safe like she promised.Nothing could make him anymore happier than that. To know that his family was safe and sound in the Jade temple.Ellinor was right next to him. She notice the radiant smile on his face, making her wonder if he wanted to go meet his family…“Are you going to stop by and say hello to them? Your mother, Agnes, asked of you and I told that that you were doing fine..”Keith was quiet, he didn't think about going to visit Agnes, neither did he expect her to ask about him.Agnes and Williams are every right to blame Emma's death on him. It was his duty to protect his sister but he failed horribly..To make matters worse, the person who had caused them pain happens to be someone related to him by blood!“As long as they are safe in the temple, I am fine. There's no need for me to go and visit them

Amanda stormed into the room in anger. She couldn't believe the audacity of that boy to speak to her in such a disrespectful manner! How dare he?!She walked into a room and slam the door shut in anger.Only then, was she able to scream out loud her frustrations. Her voice echoed through the walls of the quarters. “How dare he speak to me like that? Who does he think he is? I want him dead! I want him dead by all means necessary!” Amanda shoves a glass of rice wine, trying to suppress her anger somewhere down.Richard walked into the room and bowed his head in courtesy.“My Lord, I just received an information concerning Keith's parents. We found them..” “You found them?” She asked and Richard nodded his head.“Yes, my queen. I was able to find them. What would you like us to do now?” Richard asked.Amanda was excited, smiling. She had no idea where to start but seeing that she had an upper hand, only made her even more excited.“Call me that boy. He is currently celebrating his wi
