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…
“You have to tell me who they ate? And who made them the seniors uh? This is certainly wrong!” Keith said in annoyance.Ellinor stood still like a statue as Keith went on and on about how unfair it was for him to be treated this way.His hand was on her shoulder, crushing down the layers and layers of fabric she had on..His mouth was clearly very close to her eyes and she could feel his body heat so close to her!It was insane! Without thinking, Ellinor pulled his arm over her shoulder, leaned back and pulled Keith across her body, slamming his back hard to the ground.The look of horror in his eyes like he'd just got a glimpse of death for a slight second made Ellinor gasped in shock.Is he dead?Keith was perfectly still and his eyes were wide open in fear. Ellinor pokes him in the shoulder with her leg but Keith wasn't moving..“Hey! Are you okay?” She asked carefully Keith's eyes moves to meet hers and a cry escaped his lips! He had only wanted a question of his answered! Was t
Ellinor had her sword ready to fight, knowing Paula very well. She has prepared her mind to tackle as many men as she could to the ground..Paula was the kind of person to get physical when he doesn't win an argument. His ego was more important to him than rational thinking..Ellinor knew him so well!Keith was scared for his life as Paula's men started to approach them with malicious intent.The men were holding the most dangerous set of weapons in theor hands. Axes, spears, chains with spijes all over…They were as good as dead! The men on the training ground stopped to watch what was about to go down.“Ellinor, we should leave! We are seriously outnumbered!” Keith pointed out.There were a total of twenty hefty looming men, each one with a weapon that was certainly lethal than a sword!“Stay behind me at all times. Don't get in my way, am I clear?!” Is he insane?! Keith wondered. They were about to get themselves beaten up so badly that even the best physician in the kingdom would
“For hours, he picked beans under the scorching sun and his master? He was sleeping under the shed. Not a care in the world!”Keith said dramatically and glances at his so-called instructor who was sleeping away under the shed.He's been counting the beans for hours now and so far so good, he hasn't even made a substantial amount of progress!Keith was starting to doubt Ellinor's ability to teach him!What if he goes to Paula? Maybe that mam had something of value to teach him?Yes, he had him beaten severely earlier in the day but Keith was sure that if he apologised, Paula would teach him everything he needed to know!But what if Paula refuses to teach him and Ellinor finds out he'd met with his arc nemesis? He would be losing on both ends! Which isn't going to be of advantage to him at all!Keith wasn't happy about his limited options! It was either he endured all this in the hopes that Ellinor was going to train him.Or, he tried his luck with Paula.Keith wiped the sweat away fr
Keith sigh, after trying to shoot the arrow like Rose had taught him, he wasn't able to give one clear shot at the board..After many trials and errors, he decided it was time for him to stop.He had lost track of time and it was so late at night already.He decided to return to his room, barely able to stand straight due to exhaustion.Just as he walked into the mansion, he came across the maids carrying food from the dining area to the kitchen.He stops her midway..“Can I have that?” Keith asked.“Why would you eat something off of someone else’s plate?” The Master's voice echoed from a nearby room.There was a huge wooden table that sat on the floor. 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
Ellinor fires another arrow at her targets it's hits a bull's eye effortlessly.Her forehead was covered in sweat and her expression was very grim and upset! She fires another arrow yet again and it pierced through the arrow that was already on the board!She could do this in her sleep and she certainly wasn't braging or showing off. Ellinor was just that prefect!Ellinor glances down at her finger and realises that she had cut herself by accident.The pain stung but she seemed very calm and insensitive to the big cut on her finger.Blood drips to the floor and she watches it in silence..Rose’s words echoed in het head like a nahging headache or worse still, a terrible nightmare!Of course, she will upset that the mlMaster decided to give someone like Keith a job that ought to be carried out by her!It was a huge blow to her and her level of swordsmanship! It was almost a dent to her ego as a person!She had trained and practised so hard for this as though it was her life mission, o
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? Because you complain about every little thing like a little child! This is just the beginning and ypu already have a problem with this!” “I have a problem? Do you realise how thick this is?!” Ellinor approached Keith, shoving him to the side as he stood in front of the tree figure.He punches the tree without stopping, landing blows in the areas that could have been a weak point for a human.The tree bent inwards when Ellinor lands a fist in the very center of the figur
Warden was short for words at the reports. He found it really difficult to believe that this had happened that day! “You're saying these things happened?” Kelvin bows his head in acknowledgement, leaving Warden even more stunned than he was before..“Fruits never fall far from its tree,” Warden said to himself, genuinely surprised.He hurried towards his library, and settled behind his desk. Scribbling on a paper, he wrote out a message, sealed it up and handed it to Kelvin who had followed him all the way from the balcony into the office..“You need to be very careful when delivering this. 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. What is this long haired stranger? And what is he doing in the Master's study? “Ellinor, come on in” He walked in and the stranger was out of sight in seconds. Ellinor settled down in front o
