The King's Last Heir

“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 that too much to ask?!

“Why?!” He cried 

“I….you should have put some clothes on when I told you to! And the junior washroom is that way!” 

Ellinor storms off..

Keith watched in disbelief , he should be the one throwing a tantrum! Ellinor flipped him over like he weighted nothing!

Keith got on his feet, wondering if he had made the right decision by telling Warden he would let himself to be trained by Ellinor..

He might actually end up dead before Ellinor teaches him any reasonable! 

Limping and wincing in pain,Keith made his way towards the junior washroom which ge found empty to his surprise.

Were there any juniors around? He was yet to understand what that was about either! 

After taking his shower, Keith returned to his room and cloth himself in the only garment he had brought with him..

He wasn't complaining but he wanted to make sure he had the right tools to get his revenge! Thr clothes he had didn't really matter to him..

Keith stepped out of his room, wandering around the huge mansion in confusion.

He wasn't sure what to do next. Should he look for Ellinor or get something to eat? 

Keith walks past the kitchen and his nostrils was filled with the aroma of deliciousness! 

He took two steps back and peeped into the kitchen..

Riceballs, meat , soup and a dozen other of his favourites qerw bring made by over ten maids in the kitchen.

Keith swallowed, imagining what that was goung to taste like in his mouth…

It would be nothing short of marvelous! 

He's barely eaten any tangible meals since he he here, seeing this batch of meals made him very excited! 

A maid with a tray of food in hand, approached the door to see Keorh staring at the meal in the tray with love sick eyes.

“Who are you?” The young maiden asked 

Keith gave her a very childish smile as ge steps away from the door.

“I was looking for something to eat” he said.

The young lady glances at him from his head to his toes and flashed him a small smile.

“Your meal has been taken to the training ground.” 

“Training ground? Where is that?”

                      ****

Keith stared at he empty basket, almost close to tears. It was clear that there were rice balls in there but it was all gone! 

Ellinor joined him and glanced at the basket too. She sighed, her hands leaning on her sword causually.

“You were late” 

“I'm going to starve” Keith muttered but his voice carries the weight of his pain..

“You'll have to make it in time for lunch. Food goes clearly around here “ Ellinor said casually.

“What am I going to eat? I had such vivid dreams about this..” Keirh muttered once more, close to tears..

“There's an apple tree over there. We have a lot to do today, let's go” 

Ellinor heads towards the furthest end of the training ground.

Men of all ages were fighting with one another, using spears , swords and chains to practice.

It would have been quiet the sight if Keith wasn't so hungry and close to anger! 

“Hey, Ellinor!” 

She pulled a stop and cursed underneath her breathe.

Keith almost ran into her, he glances up to see one of the men who had beat him up, walk towards Ellinor with a wicked smile.

“Oh my goodness! What does he want now?!” Keith muttered, slightly worried that man was approaching them.

“Hold still asshole” Ellinor said qoth gritted teeth.

The last thing she wanted was for Paula to think her trainee was scared of him..

“I heard he's your new trainee? It was so easy to beat him up this morning! Are you sure you are training him the right way?” 

“There's no right way to train anyone. Sticking to a set of routines is the reason your men can't think on their feet” Ellinor shor back but she was very calm.

“You little! Don't you have respect for your seniors?!” Paula shot back in anger 

“If I can fling my senior over my shoulders rather easily, I don't think they deserve that sort of respect” 

Paula chuckled in disbelief! Ellinor surely has no respect for anyone! And the one time that he had won a duel with Paula was because Paula was drunk! 

If he wasn't, he was so sure he could beat Ellinor up to pulp!

“I don't know why the master thinks you were capable of training anyone! You bearly have what it takes to be an instructor” 

“Tell me Paula, what does it take to be an instructor? Feeding your ego? That's all I hear when you and your men train..” 

“Hey! You better watch your tongue you little slug!” 

Ellinor tilts his head to the side as Keith taps his shoulder.

“There's no point irritating him further, we should leave” Keith pleaded.

He didn't want to receive yet another round of beating from this man!

“Not without a fight!” Ellinor shot back at Keith.
