Chapter 5 - 5 Strong willed

Princess Audrey was then told to show Levy around the castle and the two of them were now walking along the long corridors side by side , they were painted by flowers, he kept wondering why they painted flowers on every walls that he cane across with, it's as if the castle belongs to womens only , even so it was a beautiful sight to watch.

Audrey cleared her throat to break the silence, the two of them have been quite since they parted with the King and Queen as if they were dumb.

"Sorry about the folks back there, they can be very embarrassing sometimes " she chuckled , Levy smiled waving his hands in the air "I understand Princess, actually I like them" Audrey rolled her eyes, What was there to like if someone embarrass you? "Let's show you the gallery room first " she said pointing to his left , Levy hummed and followed her lead quietly, she opened a large door so they could enter, it had thousands of drawings on the walls, Audrey showed him several drawings that cathched his eyes and explained each at a time, Dillonia's villages and markets, he narrowed his eyes at the on of the markets that seemed busy and chaotic much to his interest, he passed there on his way to the castle, "Is this place always like this?" came a calm but horse voice, his finger pointing on the drawing, Audrey took steps to see what he was talking about and her face soon brightened at the sight of ti "Aaah! the market?" she paused and faced him, Levy nodded "It is always like that, busy people, noise and many interesting things are taking place there, it's my only favourite place whenever I sneak out this boring castle, we should go some other time , it would be fun!" she squealed and talked more than what she was asked out of excitement, when she noticed how foolish she became she walked forward embarrassed "I see" responded Levy almost like a whisper, Audrey waved her hand "Over here Princy!" he was staring at the drawing is seemed to fascinate him nd he can't wait to go there if it was even going to happen, he took long strides to her "My family drawing, this is my brother , Phelipe ... it's too bad that he is not here or else you would've enjoyed your stay here with company " she smiled heartedly and looked at the man in the drawing fondly, Levy was already interested by her company, what did she mean ? she is not a good company? not really, she talks a lot and he likes it.

His eyes stared at the figure on the drawing Prince Phelipe, black hairs, green eyes just like Audreys, he was good looking he concluded in his thoughts "He must took after the Maguires!" he blurted teasingly and both of the laughed reminiscing the crazy conversation that the dinner.

The two parted their ways after a short sight seeing in the castle. Levyndrion was grateful to Audrey that he at least got to know where to go and which turn to never take so he wouldn't get lost in the castle.

Vincy came to his room , he saw the Crown Prince laying on his exaggerated bed looking at the ceiling "How was your day my Prince?" he was excited to know how this aloof Prince had spent his day in such lively castle compared to their own back at Ximpton, the King and the Queen of this kingdom seems to be very talkative and nice people, it's not that her mother was a bad person it's just that Queen Jene was very strict, this would be a new experience for the both of them.

Levy sighed "Not bad" he closed his eyes, well it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be . "The King and the Queen are very good people " he complimented pulling down the curtains the Crown Prince would go to sleep anytime soon, Levy hummed "Mm" his response made Vincy to stop talking any further and walked out of the room "Good night your highness " the young man didn't even bother to answer not because he was rude to Vincy but there were some languages that only the two of them could understand given the closeness they possess.

The next day Levyndrion was called by the King at the court room, he was introduced to everyone once the session ended , General of Dillonia was asked to stay behind while everyone else left.

"General Juan" muttered the King, the man bowed respectfully "Yes sire", King Jeremy got up from his throne and walked down to them, he held Levy's back "I need you to look after my nephew, give the young man what he deserves!" this made Levy raise his head to stare at his uncle dumbfounded 'Give him what he deserves? No! what did he mean?' , this uncle of his was starting to wreck his nerves before this rigid bearded man in a military attires, he brushed away the thoughts to see General laughing at him, he can actually laugh? "Don't be scared young boy, nothing is scary I'm this world, you are just making up things in your head" said the man with his deep voice, he hummed "Mm" .

King Jeremy pat his back smiling "You have to be TOUGH! if you want to be a King, General you can take him now " he emphasised the word strongly. General nodded "Shall we my Prince " he said pointing him at the door, Levyndrion never thought his so called training to become a tough King would start now , but he had no choice, this was the reason whybhe came here to start with, and it wasn't like he wasn't working out back at home to be scared of training he just had this sudden shock out of blue. He forced a smile at his uncle before following the General out. "That scaredy cat is just like his father " he shook his head smiling , sigh "I just hope he will be a better Kkng than Lotheren, he have to be!" The smile on his face fell, he freshen his robe before walking away.

Meanwhile General Juan brought Levyndrion to the Military camp, soldiers were training in different trainings, it was noisy that it made him focus on everyone of them , when suddenly a spear coming towards him, he froze right at the spot facing it , before it could reach his eyeballs or before he could move it was caught by the General, he staggered back and gasped, he was shocked. "Soldiers! were still in a military grounds and not a war field!" his voice thundered as he sticked the spear on the ground, the two man that were having a sparing came forward and bowed in guilt "We were stupid General !" they said in sync accepting their mistake and any punishment if possible. General Juan glared at them , even he was shocked what could he do if something had happened to the Crown Prince "Dismissed!" The two soldiers left in a hurry after being spared and carried on with their exercise.

"Are you Okay my Prince?" he was very concerned, "I'm truly sorry my Prince but things like this happens a lot here" Levy was still recovering from his shock, he let out a deep breath, just know he could've been dead if this General was not around and what surprised him was his own reaction! why he couldn't even attempt to save himself foe heaven sake! he was so sensitive to such kind of matters back at home so why not today? This was extremely odd!

"It's fine , thank you " .

General Juan gave him a tour in the military before he started to train him, he was standing in the battle field with one soldier , he was asked to show what he was capable of , General gave them q sign and the two af them began to fight.

The soldier threw a punch but the Prince dodged it, he didn't attack even once and just took the defence stances with his broom stick, avoiding all of the blows thrown at him. This made the General narrow his eyes, What was this young man up to? , even the other soldiers that gathered to the fight were eager to know what was the new guy doing.

The moment Levy realised that the soldier was already tired, a cunning smile arose on his face , it had his opponent crane his neck . Levy slide his leg down but the soldier was quick to jump before he could fall, but that was his biggest mistake, that wasn't even what Levy was planning, the moment the man jumped, he used the broom stick and hit his forehead then at his neck where the vitals were only to hear a cracking sound, he got up swiftly while the soldier held his bleeding forehead giving him no time to process, the soldiers weren't aware of what he would do next, he was too fast to catch with his sharp eyes, , the next thing that happened was the soldier falling down to the ground unconscious.

"What just happened?" blurted one of the soldiers surprised, "You all saw it right! what?" said another one, the man wasn't even fighting so how could he effortlessly knock out their fellow soldier? General Juan laughed out loud "Look at my foolish soldiers here! he attacked the vital part that's why" he said and dismissed them , leaving some rubbing the back of their heads in confusion.

General Juan was suddenly intrigued to know to know who this young man is? but then whoever he is , he is very fast, he wondered what made him freeze tonthe spear a moment ago, "That was very impressive my Prince , I'm delighted that you just don't fight you use your mind too, most importantly you are too fast" he clapped his hands before continuing "I must've misunderstood you" he picked a sword from the rack , Prince Levy didn't react much to the compliments and just smiled curtly at him, he took his own sword too, he already knew what was following the moment the General took out a sword.

He wanted a round with him and he didn't wait for him to say it, General found every of his movements very graceful and intelligent, he swings his sword marching at him, Levy used his own to block it 'Clang!'

Sparks of fire came out from the force of collision, Levy wasn't a match to General Juan but he tried hid nest to block his attacks , most of the time he staggered back and even fell down but one thing left the General speechless, even thought the boy was tired, panting and hurt from his blows he still got up, he never gave up and just kept trying to attack him instead, that strong will was very intriguing! He was very amused by this side of him.
