2023-11-09 22:50:30"My master wants to see you this minute," The stranger said in seriousness.
"I don't care who your master is! Get the hell out of my way! I won't say it twice!" Keith warned
"I'm Ellinor and my master is Lord Warden. You cannot make this mistake without someone of power behind you Keith!"
"Don't make me draw a sword through your heart!" Keith warned
"You think you'll make it to the prince alive? Do you have the slightest knowledge of the number of guards at the main gate alone? " Ellinor demanded
"Go home. And bury your sister " he adds
Keith got down from his horse, his sword in hand as he walked past without another word.
"Keith!"
"Get away from me!!!" He warned
The stranger got down from the horse, ready to challenge him in a sword fight.
"Someone as weak as you are, cannot stand a chance. It would mean nothing if you get yourself killed today "
Keith groaned as he moved closer, the duo engaged in a sword fight, fierce and merciless. Ellinor did not hesitate to get a slice on his skin as Keith's movements were not coordinated.
He is blinded by anger and pain that his steps were not balanced.
"For a bandit, your swordmanship is terrible"
Keith groaned, aiming for a slice of his arm but seemed to miss Ellinor by a second.
Ellinor shoves his sword out of his hands and places his sword on Keith's neck without warning.
"Master wasn't wrong after all. Ypu do have potential"
Keith glared at him, his eyes sudden a golden shade of yellow. Ellinor is taken aback and retracts his sword..
"Give up Keith. Your weakness is beyond repulsive" Ellinor offered as Keith got on his knees.
"I know you want revenge but it wouldn't be if you couldn't finish your target.."
"Who the hell ate you?" Keith demanded
"I want him dead as much as you do but right now, we can't afford to go against him without a plan…"
Ellinor sighs "Let's us help you…"
Keith screamed in frustration , tears rolling down his chin. He felt his heart tighten and his breath seized at the very thought of never having to see his younger sister again…
She was really….
Gone…
"Do the needful. Bury the dead. Then get the strength you need to get the revenge you want"
Rain poured down heavily as Keith sat there, crying his heart out at his helplessness and loss of his sister….
Stranger stood right behind him, sword in hand to make sure Keith doesn't do anything stupid…
*******
A couple more days went by after Emma was laid to rest. Keith had stayed away from the house, Agnes accusing voice always dancing in his head…
Agnes must hate him, she must regret being his mother and Williams must really hate his very existence now.
He has brought them nothing but pain….
It was all a misunderstanding, he didn't endanger Emma's life like she had thought he did but Agnes wasn't ready to listen to him.
She had kicked him out of the out without saying another word to him. Keith agreed he deserved it, every bit of hatred Agnes sends his way ..
It's been days and he got curious about their welfare. Keith decided to stop by the house, once he conforms their wellbeing, her would leave immediately…
On arriving at the house, Keith sights palace guards ransacking the entire house, smashing pots and tossing all of their things out in the open…
He knew this was nothing more than Edward's doing…
Why is he doing this? Edward killed his sister and now her feels its okay to have guards throw and trash their thing!
"That bastard!"
Keith takes a step towards the house only for a hand to rest on his shoulder in caution.
It was Ellinor.
"Not today. Come with me"
Keith frowned, he was starting to detest the very presence of this guy!
Why is he always in his affairs?
Himself and his so called master!
"What does my problem have to fo with you?"
"Your mother and Williams are safe with us. Come with me"
"They are ruining our house!" Keith said, making sure this freak was aware of what was going on!
"Do I have to tie you up and drag you all the way to My Master's house before you listen?"
Keith arched his brows.
The fact that Ellinor readily threatens him is amusing!
Does he really think Keith is incapable of beating him up?
"Or you can go there. I would love to see them beat you up really good" Ellinor leaves without saying any word and Keith had to follow him without any other agreement…
They ride all the way down to the so-called Master's house and much to Kieth's surprise , the master's house was bigger than any of the Nobel men he had seen before…
It was almost the size of the royal palace and had many guards as well
Taking in the beautiful space Eleanor leads Keith inside mansion..
"Where are they? Keith asked
"I believe they blame you for your sister's death.I will only show you a glimpse of them to avoid problems"
Keith wondered just about how much Ellinor knows about him…
And sure enough, Ellinor shows him a glimpse of his mother and Williams safe and sound at the further end of the court…
"Are you ready to meet my master?" Ellinor asked
Keith nods and Elenor leads him towards the main mansion where a middle-aged man seems to be overlooking a fish pond.
"Master Warden," Ellinor said woth a bow " Keith is here"
Keith approached quietly, not sure what to expect from this so called Master!
"I am really sorry for your loss" Warden said without looking back.
Keith pulls to a stop in shock, how did he know about his sister ?
"Who are you and why do you want to help me? Just so you know, I do not have a cordial relationship with the nobels of the society"
The master burst into a laughter very subtle and yet slightly mocking Keith..
"You have no idea how much I know about you Keith.."

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 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

There's no need for me to go and visit them
