Just when the men were trying to relax, Jeff steps into the room, a sinister smile on his face.“Where is Keith? The master wants to see you”Keith was on his bed trying to catch a nap when he sits up in surprise..He wasn't expecting them to take action almost immediately.He was expecting this to happen maybe the day after. He didn't think they were the kind of people to work on things immediately…“Right now?” Keith asked“Did I stutter? Don't keep the grandmasters waiting or you will pay for it with your life”Jeff steps out of the hall and Keith follows right after almost in fear..“Keith, I hope you survive this” Sean said, genuinely concerned for his friend..Just as Keith stepped out of the hall, following Jeff, he realised just how big the temple was…They worked past a group of men who were training. They were all wearing black with golden linen, practicing with different types of weapon..Some of them trained with sticks, some had chained balls, some had double edged swords

While everyone was asleep, they heard a loud noise that force them all awake..It sounded like someone hitting a church bell intentionally to wake them up!The men were cursing out loud, irritated by the sudden disruption of their sleep..Before they knew it, men dressed in black started to whip them with with a horse whip, forcing them up!When the men try to fight back, they were beaten even mercilessly!Keith, who was yet to heal from the terrible beating he had received the day before, received an equal amount of lashing…Finally, all the men were awake, majority of them on the floor, wailing in pain…‘I am glad all of you are now awake. I'm going to make this very brief. You wake up before the break of dawn and clean the entire hall”“Anyone whose bed is on disarranged to be punished. Anyone who is yet to have their bath before the break of dawn will be punished as well”“Breakfast will be served once the cock and whoever gets there late will have to wash everyone's plate”“You h

“I said get up on your feet rest this minute!” the instructor yelled in anger…Keith was too tired to respond and all he did was lay back on the floor under the sun like he was dead…He receives another thrashing from the annoyed man but stays very put..‘I said get up!” he screamed againKeith was willing to annoy this man for as long as he possibly could.If there was one thing he learned, it would be that when someone is so upset, they will do the unthinkable.Which would only make them look like a very unstable person..Maybe the instructor would realise he wasn't acting like a regular person would…“If you remain down there, we are going to throw you into the house of the bears”Stunned, Keith stood on his feet, wincing in pains. Are they really going to throw him into the house of the bears like they had said?Standing in front of him was Master Choi. His face seemed like something straight out of a nightmare!Keith wondered just how much pain he had gone through to turn out li

“Grandmaster I think the unthinkable has happened!” Jeff said as he hurried towards the Grandmaster's table..The Grandmaster is busy writing as usual but he was paying attention as well..“You stepped into my chambers without knocking, this better be something worth it!” ‘Grandmaster , we just discovered a commoner with a gift! How is that even possible?”“We have cases of gifted people dying and then commoners stealing their gifts from them. Why should this be some fantastic news?” “Master, this is more intense! The commoner is Keith and the way he controls this gift is almost like he was born with it!”The Grandmaster pause his writing amd frowned down at the mistak he made..“Keith you say? It seems that young man is everywhere in this templel. I'm sure that name will echo through the walls once he is done with his training!”“Master you have to believe me! The amount of control he has over this gift is like one born with it! The only ones who can exert this amount of control a

Ellinor straps her sandals on, ready to leave but Rose steps into her room just as she was about to open the door….“Thank goodness you are here! I wanted to show you something” Rose said before taking in Ellinor's outfits..“You are going somewhere. Where are you heading to?”“I think I should make a stop by jade temple”Rose stares at her in silence before bursting into laughter.“You think you should go and pay him a visit after sending him off to die?”“The Grandmaster sends one of his disciples to deliver a message to the master about Keith. It's a sign that he is not dead. At least not yet..”“If I were Keith, I would kick you right out of the temple the moment you step in!”“I did that for his own good! He has to understand that!”“You sent him off to die for his own good? Listen to yourself! All you've done so far is make his stay miserable and you really think he would even look at you?”“It's my choice to train him, isn't it? And this is the way I chose to. Why should any

“You should have told me you brought us here to be meat for bear!” Rose snapped as she swings another set of arrows towards the bear heading her way..Ellinor is battling with the second, swaying her sword and slicing at every given chance.“You really think I would want anything to happen to you” “Why would I bring you here knowing that you could possibly die? Do you know what the master would do to me if he finds out about this? He is going to end my life that very minute!”Rose dodges a swing of the bear’s hands, landing on her feet as she tosses another set of arrows towards his neck again..How many of her poisonous arrows would it take for this monstrous being to die?“You really think my father will do anything to you if I end up dead? If you ask me, he cares about you more than he cares about me!”Ellinor moves out of the way as the bear tries to stump on her. She gets another slice of skin around the ankles but that was enough to make the bear stumble forward…“I'm not his

It took eternity for Ellinor to finally find the person she was looking for..It was almost like he disappeared from the temple. Nobody seems to know exactly where he was..She searched almost every corner of the temple for Keith but he was nowhere to be seen.She was starting to worry that he had walked out of the temple without anyone noticing..You could have been eaten by a bear or something even worse than that!Rose was searching for him as well but she hasn't seen to find anything yet..It was time Ellinor even for them where exactly could it be and why as no one seen him anywhereEleanor was walking towards the water fountain where the men had their beds when she heard a man laughing hystericallyShe works closer not sure if this was the right decision that man could be a taking a bath for how she knowsThe words that is going to happen with b**** you would offer him and heartfelt apology for badging into whatever he was doingI should go Closer The Sound of the laughter only s

To Rose’s shock, Ellinor stood on her feet, ready to leave. She clearly doesn't care about how Rose would get back to the mansion..“Ellinor is so unbelievable! Would it kill him to wait for me so we can go together?” Rose said as Ellinor was about to take her leave..“You know you two can gossip when I'm out of here right?”“Why would I say things at your back if I can say it right to your face? Goodness Ellinor, the least you can do is to feel sorry for the young man! What if he had end up dead?”Ellinor turns to Keith her eyes blazing like fire!“Do you want to know the truth, Keith? I will say it right to your face. You think your revenge is enough for you to want to get better? No, it is not!” “You do not learn to fight in a day and neither do you learn to fight in a month. It's a process and if you're not willing to go through it then forget about that bloody revenge of yours!”Ellinor walked out of the room without saying another word, catching both of them by surprise.

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. 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

“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
