It made her feel like she was see and heard, in whatever she was going through..Finally at the mansion, she made her way to Warden's study. She was a bit concerned to see him standing by his patio.His hands were behind his hack and his face felt and looked certain distant.“Good dau, master. I am here to deliver the message.” Ellunor said the moment she got closer to him..She has been with Warden for years now and she knew when something was off, she could easily tell that he was thinking about something…And overall,he wasn't in a very good mood either. Something certainly happened..“Did young man make up his mind already? You might have to convince him if he refuses to do this…” “I spoke with him today and you agreed. I'm sure that he will not disappoint us..”Ellinor assured.“I really hope that is the case. Thank you, El

Ava made her way home quietly, passing through the market. Darius had advised that they don't go through the same route for security reasons and she completely agreed..With the Queen often at her heels, it was best that she took his advice.“How did the discussion with your brother go, my lady. I hope it was productive?” “Yes. I was able to ask the questions that I wanted to and I got to meet my niece. She turned out to be a very beautiful young woman.” Ava said with a fondness.She really thought that Rose was a very beautiful young lady and she hopes that they get chance to get to know each other better.“I believe it makes you feel at ease now right?” “Yes I feel so much better meeting her in person. And seeing that my brothers still has a lot of work to do. He has no idea how to relate to his child.”“I believe you can be able to fill in for him that way.

Seqn had tried to wake him up several times but he refused, ignoring his friend…He thought that if he stayed indoors all day, the Grandmaster would take that as a no, and assign somebody else instead..His blanket was yanked off his body and before he could retaliate, a bucket of water poured all over him, forcing him back to the ground.Keith struggled for his life and finally got on his feet.

Edward was ruminating on Hana's words once more.

She was the only chance he had at finding Keith and she was hoping to ruin it too…“I don't understand what you are talking about. What friend of mine?” Ellinor asked.Edward looked very upset and irritated but Danfus stops him, trying to retain the countenance the gentle men they had presented in the first instance.Thru needed to get as much information as possible from Ellinor and they were willing to play nice to get it.“We are asking your friend. The one who came with you to the introduction ceremony a few days back. The man with the mask. We need to talk to him.” “Oh. My friend? Now who is he again?!” Ellinor asked, stroking her chin in thought.“Don't waste our time young man.Where is this man and where can we find him?! “ Ellinaor frowned at him, wondering what the hell was wrong wi

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 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

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
