2024-10-29 19:42:56Warden was short for words at the reports. He found it really difficult to believe that this had happened that day!
“You're saying these things happened?”Kelvin bows his head in acknowledgement, leaving Warden even more stunned than he was before..“Fruits never fall far from its tree,” Warden said to himself, genuinely surprised.He hurried towards his library, and settled behind his desk. Scribbling on a paper, he wrote out a message, sealed it up and handed it to Kelvin who had followed him all the way from the balcony into the office..“You need to be very careful when delivering this. You can't get caught”“There will be no reason to worry Master, there will be nothing to worry about Kelvin assured as he took his leave.He bumps into Ellinor at the door Who stared at him in silence. What is this long haired stranger? And what is he doing in the Master's study?“Ellinor, come on in”He walked in and the stranger was out of sight in seconds. Ellinor settled down in front of the master, knowing she couldn't ask him who that was.If he wanted them to be acquainted, Warden would have let them get to meet.“How's your training with Keith going?”“Master, something happened today at the training ground. I am certain you are aware of what I am about to discuss.”Warden exhaled, Ellinor knew him so well. There was no way something like that happened in the mansion and he had yet to hear about it..“I am shocked by myself , Ellinor. I knew that Keith had something special in him”Ellinor wasn't sure what parts of what she was about to say would sound like she was crossing the line..“Master, if a commoner is found with super powers it is one of two things. He stole the marking of a dead gifted or he has blurred blood running in his veins”Warden nods in understanding, he knew that he wasn't going to get out of this anytime soon.Ellinor is one of the smartest assassins he's been able to train. To think that this would happen in his presence and he wouldn't ask questions is the biggest fantasy a man can have..“Keith's level of control is like that of a man born with these gifts. He has to be related to a member of the elite society”Warden exhaled “You are always so smart Ellinor. Nothing leaves your sight without you asking the right questions”Ellinor was staring at him in seriousness, she wasn't ready to have Warden sweep this under the mud so easily.“Keith is related to an elite isn't he? He's not some random commoner”“I can't tell you ““Master, you never keep secrets from me!” Ellinor remindedWarden nods in agreement, a small smile on his face. “That is very correct but I want you to trust me, Ellinor. It is best you don't know whose son he is” he adds calmly.Ellinor stared at him in silence, there had to be a reason the Master had decided not to tell her who Keith was and she could understand.“All will be revealed in due time but for now, it's important no one knows who Keith is. I mean no one” he said once more as though passing a note of warning to Ellinor.Ellinor nods “I understand Master. My apologies for not respecting…”Warden waves him off, there was no need to apologise. He only stated an observation which only made Warden want to make sure Keith is protected at all cost!“You had a question and you asked, there's no need to apologise” Warden assuredEllinor bows her head and steps out of the room. She was deep I thought, trying to recall if Warden had given away the and were to her questions without her realising it…He was very calm, he wasn't giving away anything.“That blue eyed….”Rose bumped into Ellinor who caught her by the shoulder, helping Rose to stand straight.“That was close. Thank you” Rose sa8d, trying to catch her breath.“Is something wrong?” Ellinor asked, sensing Rose was very irritated by something or someone.“It's that man with the long hair! I have no idea what he's doing here but seeing brings back very awful memories! “It took a moment for Ellinor to realise who Rose was talking about. She stares at Rose with her eyes wide open..“The man in the blue cloak?”“You met him? He's such an arrogant brute! “ Rose said again.Rose was like an angel, it was rare to see her very upset about anything. If she is irritated, then the man in the blue cloak mist has done something horrible..Ellinor's curiosity kicked in, she wanted to know everything Rose knew about the man..“What did he do?”“I met him once on my eight and ten years birthday. I wanted to catch my scarf from the wind and he caught it. At first I was grateful but he tossed it in the muddy water and left! I don't like the sight of him and recalling how terrible a person he is makes my blood boil!” Rose muttered.She is really upset now but Ellinor had just one more question, despite knowing this discussion would only make Rose even more upset.“Do you know his name?”Rose shook her head “He does visits father often but i've never heard him say his name”Often? Ellinor wondered how many secrets the Master has been keeping away from her all this while!As it appears, she's not the favourite as she thought she was…“I heard what happened on the training ground. Paula said you were there. Is it true Keith has a really strong wave?” Rose asked with a smile on her face.“I can see Paula can still talk uhm?” Ellinor said in irritation.“You left him and his men stuck to the wall. I had to get juniors to help them out…”“I'm surprised the juniors agreed”Rose flicked her tongue, Ellinor's dislike for Paula was certainly eternal!

“He makes his trainees quit?” Keith asked, seeming very shocked by the sudden revelation. Sean nodded as he stuffed his face with the bowl of soup and rice balls. Usually Keith would stare at his favourite meal with love sick eyes but right now, something else seemed to have caught his interest.Maybe talking to Sean isn't a waste of a nice conversation then..“Is that so?” Keith asked, hoping that wouldn't make Sean tell him more.What if Ellinor was doing all of this just to get him to tell everyone he wasn't interested in getting trained by him anymore?But what kind of trainer would want someone to quit? It clearly made no sense! “I heard from his past trainees that he is a very vicious man! He'll hace them the toughest training first before handing them the lesser ones! He's training his men to be killers and some of them didn't want to be.”Keith tried his best not to flick his tongue at the words that came out of Sean's mouth.If only he knew that Keith was doing this so he w

“Rose please! I've told you a dozen times already, I'm not going for Deam's party” Ellinor was about to step out of Rose's room when the young lady blocked her path to the door with pleading eyes…“He invited us to his mask party Ellinor. I rejected him last two years! I don't want to disappointed him again!” “Why do you care about how he feels now? You told him no for two years, you don't think he's already hurt?” “Ellinor!” Ellinor rolled her eyes, she really didn't expect Rose to call for her so they could have this discussion! She had better things to do with her time doesn't she? Like sharpening her sword and doing a hundred stretch before dawn…“Ellinor,please come with me okay? I have to go to this party!” “Did Master approve?” Ellinor asked Rose whined, almost sobbing at the double rejection she was getting from both her father and her trusted friend, Ellinor! “Father has been meditation all day and his maids told me he said he didn't want anyone to disturb him” “It's

She was thinking it would be some in-house party with a handful of people…But this was no different from the end of the year festival the kingdom held for the past century!“This is so beautiful! Better than I imagined!” Rose said with a smile on her face.There were candle lights around the path leading into the party and on the trees were fairy lights.Something that was surely made by someone with gifts…There were countless food and drinks on the table which made it difficult for Ellinor to choose which to start first!She wasn't expecting to enjoy the party but from the solemn beating of the drums and the beautiful music playing in the background, she might as well dance the night away!“I should say hello to Deam” Rose said, pulling Ellinor with her..Ellinor wasn't sure where they were h

For the hundredth time that night, Ellinor turned aimlessly on her bed. Sleep was far away from her and she knew damn well it was hopeless trying to force it.. She and Rose were able to return back to their respective rooms without being noticed.Ellinor had slipped out of the wretched gown and stuff it under her bed before jumping on her bed to sleep…The feel of his lips on hers would continue to hurt her thoughts for as long as she can remember! She had tried a cup of water and a glass of milk but to no avail! Nothing seems to be working no matter how hard she tried!What is she going to do now? But the kiss wasn't so bad. It was rather very soft and seductive even…Something that made her want more than just a kiss from Keith ..“Snap out of it! He's your trainee!” Ellinor reminded herself, slapping her chin as well..What on earth is she doing right now? Thinking about such….intimate acts with Keith? KEITH of all the men in the entire universe! She must have really lost it!

The beautiful lady from the night before was the only thing on his mind.He was even more annoyed that he didn't get a name from her after such a mind blowing kiss.And that red beautiful hair, adorned with accessories and the colour of her garment that seems to compliment her skin…She looked absolutely beautiful and stunning in that dress. Like his dream woman..Keith continued to beat and punch the tree figure until he couldn't anymore.He glanced at Ellinor who seemed to be completely out there sleeping. He decided to go in search of something to eat and return to his vigorous traning.He walked into the mansion whi

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

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.

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.
