    Nicholas was surprised. The young man is a prince? He was of royal blood.He was still puzzled, but summoned courage to ask Arthur."Are you a prince?""Yes I am, and my name is Prince Arthur, the last son of king Alfred the great King of Naviel." Arthur replied, already sensing Nicholas's fear. He aimed to intensify the fear in Nicholas's heart.Boom!Nicholas felt like he had been strucked by lightning.
