The next morning was a rather eventful one. Before it was even dawn, Keith's quarters was surrounded by maids whose only mission is to get him ready for the council meeting, that would be taking place in a few hours.Although, he was in bed, Keith stared restlessly like he knew something was off abput the atmosphere.His eyes lands on the army of women and he jolts awake in shock, holding on to his duvet.“Who…who are you?” He asked, glancing from one woman to another.He searches for Ellinor but she wasn't in the room.“You guard is with the rest, preparing for the meeting as well.” One of the women, who seems to be on the older side, replied formerly.“The meeting?” Keirh asked, scanning the women in suspicion.Could this be Amanda's scheme to kill Jim or something? “The council meeting, my lord. You and Prince Edward will be attending the council meeting and every other arrangement would be made.” Keith's eyes widened in realisation, that meeting! He almost forgot about that! “W

The meeting had gone rather smoothly and they all seemed to be on the same page.Soon, the court was empty and the ‘family’ was left all alone to hash things out.“Four competitions. That's all I need to be king right?” Edward turns to Keith with a serious look in his eyes. “Once I win, you will leave this palace and blbevwr return. Is that understood?” Edward said.Keith smirked, “You sure have a lot of confidence in yourself. I'm envious of that.” “Do we have a deal?” Edward asked in seriousness. If there was one thing Keith admired about Edward, it would be the audacity he has! “I'm not interested. I don't want to be the reason why you'd be homeless afterwards.” Keith offered, walking away.Edward smirked, “ It'd a deal then.” Arthur and Amanda watched as their mini versions walked out of the courtroom, using the two doors that led into the room. “He has some guts on him. That is not enough to ascertain his survival. I hope you told him that.” Amanda turned to him in serious

Warden exhaled after listening to the outcome of the meeting. He wasn't expecting things to go that smooth with Amanda there.Surprisingly, it seems the court is not on her side like they had all believed for the longest time! This could also be their sign that they have a higher chance at winning this than they expected.“I sent my partner to inform the Grandmaster about this. He should have received the message by now.” The guard offered.“That's good. You may take your leave.” The young man walked away, leaving Warden to his thoughts. Maybe they concluded things way too early in his own opinion.They should have taken a closer look at things and see if truly the court was on her side.“Well, it good to know that the court still stands with the people. It would have been horrible if they were really on the queen's side..” Rose said.She was in the room the whole time and her father had instructed her to water the flowers in the study.“It's a relief. We can't be battling Amanda

Finally, it was the day of the competition and Keith was looking forward to the end of it.It was the day that the court choose for Keith and Edward to go hunting. The rules of the games were yet to be discussed , neither were they informed about the location..That morning had started off with the maids, standing outside Keith's quarters again.They were waiting to help him shower like the last time! It was a total nightmare, seeing all of them standing outside his door.Thanks to Ellinor, he didn't have to face any of them and he was able to help himself get ready in a matter of seconds.Soon they were on their way to the stable to pick a horse for the games..It was way larger than he expected it to be! At the same time, he was in the palace! Everything is often out of proportion!“Aren't you nervous?” Ellinor asked.She wasn't the one who would be competing first hand, but she felt very anxious.She expected Keith to feel a little bit worried but he was very much collected and pu

It took a great deal of work to get Keith to calm down and when he was finally calm, he was able to tell her what exactly had happened.Ellinor sighed after hearing everything. Her next question is probably going to irritate Keith but, she was trying her best to present it in such a way that he wouldn't be offended..‘Okay, I'm not trying to say that Edward is right. Do you think that perhaps maybe…” “No. He only said that to spite me. I am sure the reason why she had gone to the sluts in the first place, was because of the master she walked for. He wanted her to deliver the King's share of tax to the prince instead..” “No one else wanted to go except her. A friend of hers told me this.” Keith exhaled deeply, his hands trembled lightly.“What if he really did…” “Don't think about it. It's only going to hurt your feelings even more. That bastard deserves to die, there's no mercy for people like him. No redemption whatsoever…” Ellinor said.Keith bowed his heads in his arms, he was

This was starting to annoy Rose, where on earth is Jeff and why couldn't she reach him?She had made a stop at the Jade temple more than a hundred times and never had she come across Jeff.Something that came more suspicious, was the fact that the Grandmaster was doing just fine! And Jeff was nowhere around him.Whenever she asked any random person about Jeff, they all seem to recoil abd run away. It was almost like they knew something and they all decided not to tell her about it.Something was definitely wrong and no one wanted to tell her what it was..It didn't make her feel any better, it only made her feel even more anxious than she already felt..The only person who could give her answers to her question was Ellinor. Unfortunately, she was far away in the palace.There was no way she could reach out to her friend either! Was there really no secure way of contacting her without blowing her father's cover?!Rose stormed into the mansion , causing a scene as she walked down the

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

Anyone who dares to stand in their way.She was going to be leading several men into the palace.

They were the ones who had set her up with Jeff. It was only fair that she gets her own fair share of unl

“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 was the day of the very last competition and Keith found himself a bit anxious..Today's competition was supposed to be the display of royal gifts. 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

Amanda stormed into the room in anger. She couldn't believe the audacity of that boy to speak to her in such a disrespectful manner! 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
