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. 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

“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

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.

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

Karl barely felt the weight of the document in his hand as he stepped out of the café. His thumb slid over the corner of the document as if the paper might disappear if he stopped touching it.It was done.Ruchie Emold had signed the agreement. For the first time in weeks, his chest did not feel tight. His hands touched the folder again, he had a chance at his inheritance. Fucking hell, he still couldn't believe it! His hard work had paid off. His phone vibrated in his pocket and he pulled it out. The screen lit up.Anna.His fingers paused mid-reach, he had not heard from her since the hospital. He had called, left messages, stared at his phone long enough for it to dim again and again.He picked it up immediately. “Anna?”Her breath rushed into his ear before her voice did. “Karl… I need you to listen to me. Please.”The tension in her tone tightened something behind his ribs. He pulled to a stop, eyes flicking briefly to the road ahead. “What’s wrong?”“I wasn’t supposed to he

Melody had not touched the glass of water on the center table since she had brought it in.It sat exactly where she had placed it earlier, beads of condensation running slowly down the side and soaking into a thin circle on her desk.She wasn't sure who she was more furious at, Anna or Karl but heck, she was too upset to think about firing that little wretch at the moment.Less than two days. That's all she had left. She paced the living room, hands running through her hair as her mind raced. This was not how she hoped it would happen! Karl was not supposed to behave like this. He was not supposed to tell her to start packing.Hell, he's been doing a lot recently that was driving her insane! Someone had come in to inspect the house and the house documents weren't in her room, the place it had always been. He was serious. Heck, he was fucking serious. Her phone lay face-down on the desk.She had turned it over twice already, as though expecting something to appear on the screen t

Karl sat opposite Ruchie, his damp jacket folded over the back of his chair, the heat of the café still clinging to his skin long after the rain had stopped dripping from his hair. The chessboard rested between them, pieces already arranged, the white side turned toward him. The silence in the cafe was deafening, pushed aside by the pressure in his chest as he lifted his eyes to meet hers.Ruchie wrapped her fingers around her coffee cup but did not drink. Her gaze stayed on him, as though she were still weighing whether his arrival in that storm had been bravery or desperation.“You remember the rule,” she said calmly. “You lose, you answer everything I ask. No dodging.”He inclined his head. “And if I win.”She leaned back in her chair. “I grant you one favour. One.”Her assistant stood close to the wall, tablet pressed against her chest, her jaw set as though she were bracing for something unpleasant. The men in dark suits remained where they had not moved since Karl arrived, wat

The storm had been building since morning.Karl noticed it the moment he stepped out of the bathroom and drew the curtain aside. The sky hung heavy above the street with dark clouds that rolled slowly over one another. The trees along the fence leaned in the wind, their leaves shaking violently, scattering across the driveway.He checked his watch. Late.Not dangerously late but close enough to make his chest tighten.He crossed the bedroom in long strides and reached for his phone on the bedside table. No missed calls or texts for Anna still. He'd have to worry about that later. Right now, he needed to meet Ruchie for that game and possibly get the document signed.His last text to Ruchie's secretary still sat unread from twenty minutes earlier. I’m on my way.Karl turned toward the wardrobe, pulled on a clean shirt, then stepped into his shoes. He grabbed his jacket from the back of the chair and headed down the hallway.The house was unusually quiet, way too quiet for the usual b

Karl reached the house long after dark, the porch light already glowing. He stood at the gate with his phone pressed to his ear, listening to the line ring out again before dropping into silence. He lowered the phone and stared at the dark screen. Another missed call. Another unanswered message.He had walked the hospital parking space twice after Anna had left in a hurry. He caught sight of her taxi driving off and had tried calling her a dozen times to no avail. He'd dropped her a couple messages, asking if she was home safe but none of it got a response from her. His thumb hovering uselessly over her name, considering if he should call her again. “Can I blame her? Melody had embarrassed her because of me.” He tucks his phone in his pocket. The gate creaked as he pushed it open. The living room lights were on.Karl slowed the moment he stepped inside.Melody’s heels were by the door. Her handbag rested on the console table, unzipped, its contents spilling out as if she had drop

Karl was still standing when the nurse appeared at the end of the corridor and lifted her hand slightly, signalling to him.“You can come in now.”He moved immediately.Anna was no longer lying flat when he entered the small recovery room. She was half-seated, her injured ankle elevated on a thick cushion, wrapped neatly in a compression bandage. The swelling had gone down slightly, though the skin around her ankle still looked angry.Her hair had come loose from its neat ponytail. A few strands clung to her cheek.She looked tired.But when she saw him, her face shifted in a way that made something tighten low in his chest.“You’re back,” she said quietly.“I told you I would be.”He closed the door behind him and crossed the short distance to her bedside.The room smelled faintly of antiseptic and plastic. A heart monitor beeped softly somewhere behind the wall.The nurse gave him a brief update before stepping aside.“No fracture. Severe sprain. She’ll need rest and physiotherapy.
