“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
Warden,Ava and the Grandmaster were more than ready for what was about to go down. Amanda was going to be crowned queen and they won't let that happen!All they needed to do was to submit their evidences to the court, and she would be apprehended immediately.Unfortunately, Amanda doubled the security around the palace. No one is allowed in except she authorises it.The only way to get into the palace would be by using force, something the Grandmaster had visioned in the past!Ellinor was standing right next to Warden,she was going to take out her frustration, anger and pain on those bastards. Anyone who dares to stand in their way.She was going to be leading several men into the palace. The idea was to take down each and every guard within the palace walls, assuming everyone was on Amanda side. Despite the fact that she was just getting better, Rose wanted to be a part of this. They were the ones who had set her up with Jeff. It was only fair that she gets her own fair share of unl
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
The door went open and Alan hurried in, a look of panic on his face. Ava was seated by the fire with the baby in her hands and back to him as she whispered a song to her child. "We must leave. Now!"Alan walks into the room after seeing he already got Ava's rapt attention. She stood on her feet, clenching hard to her baby in fright. He said they wouldn't find them here! Alan had promised with his life to keep them safe… "What do you mean they are coming? You promised me brother! You promised they wouldn't get to us!!" Ava cried "This is no time to shed tears Ava! We have to leave immediately! Her royal highness found us! And we can't waste another moment on this discussion!" He tied up her clothes and the baby's in a clothes and flunk it over his shoulders before rushing them down the narrow passage to make use of the back door . After making sure they were both out, he sets up the cottage built out of a straw on fire while they made their way into the forest, Alan right behind he
"KEITH!!!!!" He froze in shock at the sound of his name, had he been caught or his mother was simply calling out to him?What was the matter now and why was she yelling his name so loud for goodness sake! He didn't commit murder did he?Infact, he had no idea why his mother was yelling his name to begin with! Keith stumbles out of his room and heads out to the compound, eyes still drowsy in sleep as he robs his eyes."What is it mama? I'm trying to sleep…." "Keith! Run!" Emma yelled as she saddled his horse, running from the back out front."You rascal!" His mother, Agnes, yelled running towards him with a broom in hand ."How many times have I warned you not to give that slimy weasel all your money?!" "How did she know that?" Keith said, running towards Emma to join her on the horse. "Get back here you rascal!!!" Agnes yelled as Keith got on the horse and ran away before Agnes could hit him."What am I to do with this boy?!" Agnes whined walking back into the horse, knowing she
"Emma!" She runs towards her master, sweat on her brows as she tries to wipe them off with the back of her hand."Yes master" "I want you to give the prince a share of his tax tonight" he said in a frightened voice "Master…why..why me?* she asked in utter surprise. Matt was the one who often deliver the Prince's share to him, why should she do that instead?" No one wants to do it. Not even Matt" her master offered "M.." "I beg you Emma. Deliver this to the prince or all our lives will be over" her master adds He runs off before Emma could say anything else. She didn't have a choice or the prince would have their heads like he had said… *******Emma stared up at the house right in front of her, her heart racing wildly in her chest…The Brothel…Of all the places he could have chosen to meet her, this was the spot he visited frequently…After a deep breath, Emma walks into the building and was welcome into a open floor with several room on her right and left.A
Keith watched in horror as Emma staggered on her feet, fighting for balance but that was far from achievable…The red liquid Keith hated the very sight of slip down his sister's lips as she finally lost all conciousness, falling to the ground.Keith rushed towards her and caught just as she was about to hit her head hard on the ground.He stared at her, mouth agape, eyes confused and his blood rushing into his ears.Everything sounds like an echo to him….Emma….She wasn't talking…Or moving….And her eyes were shut close….This had to be a dream, a really bad dream.. Someone had better wake him up from this nightmare! This couldn't be happening to him..He had just seen her earlier in the day before she left for the tax station…It had to be a dream….All of this had to be a dream and a terrible one at that! But the more he tried to shake her wake, she just…laid there…Very still."Emma!!" He yelled loudly enough for everyone around him to go silent in shock…His eyes went to the pri
"My master wants to see you this minute," The stranger said in seriousness."I don't care who your master is! Get the hell out of my way! I won't say it twice!" Keith warned "I'm Ellinor and my master is Lord Warden. You cannot make this mistake without someone of power behind you Keith!" "Don't make me draw a sword through your heart!" Keith warned "You think you'll make it to the prince alive? Do you have the slightest knowledge of the number of guards at the main gate alone? " Ellinor demanded "Go home. And bury your sister " he adds Keith got down from his horse, his sword in hand as he walked past without another word."Keith!" "Get away from me!!!" He warned The stranger got down from the horse, ready to challenge him in a sword fight."Someone as weak as you are, cannot stand a chance. It would mean nothing if you get yourself killed today " Keith groaned as he moved closer, the duo engaged in a sword fight, fierce and merciless. Ellinor did not hesitate to get a slice
