“My goodness! I can't believe we will be attending a royal wedding! Its unbelievable.”Rose was excited to get out and head straight to the market for the attires!Herr father was generous enpugh to give her a couple bags of gold coins and she dragged Ellinor straight to the market.“Do you realise this is huge?! I have never been to a royal ball in my entire life!”Rose said the moment they got into the market. This was one place that Ellinor wasn't very excited to be in. There was so much noise and unnecessary banter.“It is not a ball, it is a wedding introduction. Their wedding is going to be happening three days later.“I understand! It is still called a royal ball! Goodness you are no fun!” Rose complained, going for one shop to another, checking out all the beautiful attires.She wanted to buy the best. There was no way she would be attending an important event like this and appearing so casual..“I heard that Keith has gotten better at his training. I can't believe that he

“We were invited to the royal introduction ceremony.” “ I don't understand.” Keith, confused.He didn't know anyone in the royal family, talk less of being invited to a ceremony as grand as such.“What part of my words don't you understand? You're being invited for a ceremony and it's at the royal Palace! What else do you want me to explain?” “I'm not going.” Keith said almost instantly.Why would Ellinor think it was a brilliant idea to invite him to the wedding? Especially the one between Edward and his former fiance?“What do you mean by that? Master Warden has made it compulsory for us to attend!” “I'll have to go and tell him that I am not interested in attending then.” Keith turns to leave but Ellinor pulled him by the shoulder, forcing him to face her.“What do you mean by that? I start adding access to go there because you must carry out the mission“You might have to find someone else to accompany you for whatever you have to do. I'm not going to attend that ceremony.” “W

Keith was landing terrible punches at the three figure in front of him. He has been able to beat a total of ten figures to the point of no recognition. He was really upset and the people around him could feel it.Even Sean knew something was wrong and approached Keith slowly. He could see that Keith was very upset but he could not tell why he was.“Is everything okay?” Sean asked. “It's nothing. Don't worry about it.” Keith said, throwing a punch into the tree figure which shattered into pieces.“You can lie to the entire world but you know you can't lie to yourself. Something is wrong and you know that I'm more than ready to listen.”“It's not something that you can help me with. I'm not trying to say you can't. But it's not something I want to talk about.”“But it's making you pass out aggression. Maybe you should talk about it. Come on.”Sean pulled Keith away from the tree figure , walking into a more quiet place. By now, everyone who was staring at them wondered why Keit

It took forever but Ellinor finally came to the Jade temple after a few days.Keith was starting to wonder what had kept her away for so long! It was unlike him not to pay the temple a visit at least twice in one week.She approached him with a angry look on her face and before she could even say the words she had planned to say, Keith gave her his reply.“Do you realise….”“As long as you keep your end of the bargain. I don't get to see them get married. You get me into the palace and out without coming across them..” Ellinor was shocked, she wasn't expecting him to take this offer! She had expected him to say no and then turn against him..“You are going to go with me? Why? I thought you said you wouldn't? Why did you change your mind?” “I never said I wouldn't, I said I need time to think about it. Didn't you hear me?” Ellinor was glad that he had a change of heart but she really wanted to know what his plan was now.The last thing she wanted was for him to hit her with a surpris

Ellinor was drunk out of her mind! It was so hard to help her to navigate her way around the palace without her stumbling forward.Tge more Keith try to help her stand straight on her feet, the more she pushed him away, screaming at him to stop touching her!“Do you really think it's in my intention to help you out? I'm trying to make sure you don't end up falling into a ditch here! I don't know where you kept the drawing but we need it when we get to the mansion!” Keith reminded.“Is that really all you care about? The drawing the drawing is safe! That's all you need to know!” She said at the top of her voice.She could barely walk straight on her own. She only managed to walk into people on her way out.Ellinor was a complete mess and if Keith had a way of not associating himself with her, he would!But for some weird reason, he couldn't bring himself to leave her all alone there.

It was almost like he had this in plan..She could barely sit straight, shaking in fear and wondering what on earth he was up to now.She couldn't shake the feeling that he was there for a reason and that she was most likely his target.He could have picked any day to come and visit her! Any bloody day in the week but he chose the day she was to introduce herself as a Crown Prince’s fiance?! Something was definitely up!Even though he had a mask over his face, she could tell that it was him without a second glance.Maybe she needs to inform her mother about this.

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

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.

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
