He overheared a few of the maids discussing earlier snd they mentioned seeing something about Keith.Something that Arthur didn't want to think about at the moment. He prayed that what he heard was far from the truth.He wanted to see Keith and make sure he was okay, and to be sure the rumours were far from the truth. He heard there were quite a number of masked men outside Keith's room and many of which were badly injured! It was clear that somebody had tried to attack the young man but Arthur was more concerned about Keith's being alive still! Unfortunately, none of the maids were productive.

Amanda couldn't believe Arthur could come to demand answers like that!How he survived the ordeal from the night before, she could not just believe it! She sent the most skilled men in the army to that man and yet, he managed to survive! How on earth is that even possible? Or was there something she was missing here?“It has to be that man with him. His personal guard! It just has to be him! Is there a way we can get him alone and maybe we'll have a better chance?” Amanda asked Richard desperately.She wanted this to be over and done with as soon as possible. Only then would they have no reason to meet the council, only then would Edward ascend the throne as he should.“I don't think that is the case my queen. I do think that this young man might be skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship..” “How could he be skilled in the something like that? Who did he grow up with for him to have access to such higher education? It makes no sense!” She reasoned.“We are not quite sure the origin

‘I almost didn't recognize you two! It took a while.” Rose said the moment Keith and Ellinor were inside the mansion. At first glance, she had wondered who the strangers were and was about to turn them away, when Ellinor spoke.“You look like a tulip in that dress!” Ellinor had said.No one compares her in a red dress to flowers except the weird Ellinor! She wasn't expecting to see those duo anytime soon and seeing them dressed like common? They might have looked even worse than Beggars! They really over did that part of their dress up. She was being honest! She wasn't expecting that at all! “Well, we decided to go with Keith's brilliant plan. He didn't think about the fact that you might not recognize us.” Ellinor said, turning this against him.“Hey, we were able to lose the guard that was watching us, didn't we? Goodness, all you can do is just appreciate the little effort that I gave this!” Keith snapped in annoyance.“Could the two of you do this later? I believe you are here f

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

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

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

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
