Keith rolled out of bed and fell flat to the ground with a huge tud.

He winced at the pain, lucky enough that he didn't hit his head on the cold floors..

He couldn't quiet recall when he had slept but he does remember the horrible first day at training with Ellinor.

His eyes still stung with the pepper he had sprayed into his eyes.

That blood bastard for a man! A bloody narcissist! He must derive pleasure in inflicting pain on others! 

Keith got on his feet, ready for the day. 

He knew that Ellinor was going to make things very difficult for him but he was going to prove that he was worth training! 

As for the spray pepper that he had poured in his eyes , Keith had the perfect plan to get even with his so-called trainer!

Ellinor would never have thought it possible by the time Keith executes his master plan! 

He was going to make him pay but it wasn't time for that just yet!

Keith made his way out of the room, matching straight for the washer but he found it occupied with several other men…

He didn't realise that everyone shared the same bathroom!

Not that he cared but he'd thought he was the first person to wake up early in the entire mansion.

He walked into the wash and slowly and soon realises that everyone was staring at him

The men were giving him death stares but Kate wasn't sure why he was suddenly the object of observation

Thinking that he was just in his head he moved closer to the pool and stepped in

Hey Who Do You Think You Are to join us

Here to raise its head to see a man twice his size staring at him the ft looking man look like he was having a terrible morning and was looking forward to take his aggression on

I came here to base what else here said Woodley

Why on earth does this man think it was some master that should be feared

The man burst into laughter and everyone else join them in Union

Ex had no idea what you had gotten himself into boys to the day waiting to see the end of this drama

What's so funny Keith asked

Since when did genius get the rights to shower with the seniors they have their own washroom for a reason one of the men pointed out

Someone pulled cares by the hair yanking his neck backwards

I heard is the new boy Eleanor brought in you must really think it's some kind of a big deal

Oh is Eleanor's new training now they should be very interesting

Look I don't know what is going on you all I want to do is take a shower and we write out

Before kieth could complete his sentence he was attacked on both sides by men

Someone pulled his leg under the water and Keith sank in!

Just when he wanted to swim out, he felt a hand pressing his head back into the water viciously.

Keith tried to fight back but the weight on his head was heavy and ruthless..

“Look at him fighting to stay alive! How adorable!” 

Keith heard the roaring laughter of the men in the room.

He had done nothing wrong and yet they felt the need to punish him because they were deemed the seniors? 

Keith wrestled and wrestled and soon felt the breath in his lungs depreciating. 

His life flashed before h9s eyes and for a brief second, Keith thought he might lose his life at that spot! 

No! 

He had so much to do and people whose life he wanted to end by all means necessary!

If he dies then Emma's death wouldn't be avenged! And that bloody murder would go scot free after running his life…

He had no idea where he got the strength from work yet, he pushed the man away and he stumbled back into the wall..

They all went quiet as Keith's head finally came out of the water. He was trying so hard to catch his breath, not realising how quiet the whole bathroom had become!

He coughed out the water, trying to get out of the pool and run our of theor before they really do end his life.

“Who saw that?” The heavy said, gaining Keith's attention.

His eyes were on the man who had crashed in the wall and created a dent in it..

“He laid hands on a senior” another said in disbelief.

Keith followed his gaze and was shocked by how far he had pushed a man that heft into the wall and caused a dent…

He glanced down at his hands and noticed the flashes of lightning around his fingertips..

He glanced up at the man who was in the pool, his eyes narrowed on Keith.

“I have no idea how that happened…” Keith said in his own defence..

“Get me that boy!” the man said.

To his surprise, all the men rushed towards him and gave him the beating of a lifetime! 

He wasn't sure who and where he was being hit but he knew that his entire body ached terribly with pain!

After the merciless beating, he was kicked out of the washroom without clothes on..

Wincing in pain, he stood on his feet only to come face to face with Ellinor. 

She glanced down at his private area and she almost screamed in shock! 

“Perfect way to start a morning” Keith said, trying to downplay the beating he had just received..

“Am i right?” 

Ellinor swallowed, Keith looked…amazing without clothes on…

Breathtakingly amazing. She couldn't stop staring down at him…

“Who are the seniors? And why did they beat me up like that uh?” 

“Please put on some clothes!” Ellinor cleared her throat and turned away from him..

She felt warm all over! Images of that body holding her was threatening to haunt her dreams at night..

“No! You need to tell me what's going on!” 

Keith coveted the distance between them, his bare skin extremely close to Ellinor's…

The Master, his daughter Rose, Ellinor and Paula, are sitting around the table.They were settled on the pillow cushion set beside the table.“Come and join us” the master said with a broad smile on his face.Keith was hesitant.The sort of people seated by the table… he wasn't quite sure he will be welcome there..“Sire, you don't h

    Keith and Warden stepped out to the balcony. The atmosphere was cool and the sky was very dark and full of stars…Warden steps forward, his hands behind his back as he stares up at the sky.“Thank you so much for dinner master. I really appreciate it” Keith said.“Have you ever wondered how government officials make their money?”This question caught Keith off guard and he stared at the Master in silence.“I do not understand your question, master,” he said.Warden returns to stare at the sky and exhales.“If there is one thing that commoners believe, it would be that the majority of the men working for the King earn their money from their taxes and wages. The lot of their assumptions are very wrong” Keith glances back at the mansion and towards the expanse of land before them. He saw a few maids and more than five horses on the field..How else would a nobleman be able to have so much without eating off the King's table?“I'm afraid I am one of those commoners who believe that those

    Keith had to learn the hard way which was him punching the stick very gently.“Harder” Ellinor instructed, standing in the sun with him.His top was covered in sweat but Ellinor? His face was dry under that many layers of clothing! How's that even possible?!“What?” “You heard me, I don't have to say it again” Ellinor snapped Keith hits the tree once more but Ellinor flicked his tongue in irritation.“Harder” “if I go any harder, I will bruise my hands!” He complained “Do you know why I didn't want to train ypu?

You can't get caught” “There will be no reason to worry Master, there will be nothing to worry about Kelvin assured as he took his leave.He bumps into Ellinor at the door Who stared at him in silence.

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.

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?

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.
