It wasn't too long before everyone in the palace knew that prince Damian was going to duel with Orion again. But they all were curious about the reason the prince was fighting the strong guard.
Soon the training grounds was full with some servants and guests. While all the ruckus was going on the royals were having dinner.
All of them except Damian and his bride though. They were oblivious to what was going on outside as no one would dare to disturb their meal. It was quite an Peaceful, but they all didn't want to be here. It was awkward as hell but the king had a rule family must dine together for the first meal of the day
" Where Is Damian?." Philip finally break the weird silence. It was obvious that they didn't like being together, they all felt they had better things to do.
" He is training, big day tomorrow for him." Lord Eric said . Some of the family didn't seem to understand what he was saying
" Tomorrow?." Ruth( Dylan's aunt) creased her brow.
" Damian is going to look for a new pet for me. Another tyrant." Philip took a fork full of food putting it in his mouth, he heard gasped across the room.
" Tyrant you've got to be kidding me right now. What wrong with you." Ruth looked at the king
Even the queen looked startled for a moment.
" Just because your sons decided to go prodigal and you're not happy with it doesn't mean that you should pour your frustrations on Eric's children and mine as well." Ruth hitted it again. The talk about his sons, the queen clenched her hands tightly.
" He didn't attend the supreme council meeting yesterday." Philip said instead and that gave Ruth a pause
" You didn't even ask where he was if it was important, that he forgot maybe.....
" He wasn't in his room to begin with." Eric cut her short.
" Then he didn't received the message this isn't fair." Ruth began again glaring at Philip
" Since we're on the topic called fair. Your son Andrew did something unfair. He threw the vice Chancellor daughter into a pool of human eating sharks and she can't walk because her legs was cut off. He should receive punishment shouldn't he? But why didn't he I wonder. Eric and your husband pleaded his case threatening me with' you know what' again and just like that I let him walk around freely. Is that fair." Philip eyes bore into her ice cold. Ruth swallowed and kept quiet
Andrew smirked not feeling remorseful at all for his actions, his brothers smiled secretly with him
" Those were just children's play getting out of hand." George ( Ruth's husband) said
" I think Andrew is old enough to differentiate right from wrong, is he not and he is certainly not a child." Philip eyes went to George
" If it had been yours , you would have done the same don't try and pretend to be a saint." Eric said
" I am very much aware of the kind of sons I gave birth too. And I assure you they will do no such thing." Laura said
" Yeah they'd cut her limbs off instead." Andrew whispered and the rest of the cousins the boys snickered
Laura heard him and got upset really upset.
" Isn't it time we gave up on them , come on it been nearly ten years. The kingdom need to move forward and think of the future." George cleared his throat and Philip smiled looking at him
" What are you saying, I should appoint a new heir, I see you're too ambitious you don't have love for your children." That got George upset he gritted his teeth
The Princes made one thing clear before they left. The next in line for the throne shouldn't be touched.
But that only made the cousins upset. Like who the hell do they think they are? But even though they wanted and complained they all kept their hands off the throne. Unless they were looking for trouble... Real trouble
" Stop acting like your sons are all high and mighty . They might be strong but they won't always be the strongest." George said. That was a big fat lie and they all knew it, his name alone would make them lose any argument they're trying to hold
" You just can't control your kids and now you're telling us to control ours. Now that's just interesting." Eric spoke this time. He knew how to make Philip angry.
" This is breakfast, let's just enjoy the meal and not spoil the morning." Laura managed to talk though the talks about her son's was starting to make her emotional. How could they make her feel this kind of pain
" Sure, it's breakfast after all." Ruth mocked
" Yeah, but Damian had been breaking rules lately, first yesterday and now today he's missing breakfast. He was such a good boy what changed him. Or are you close?" Philip mocked Eric back
" Oh God." Serena whispered. Why bother having breakfast together if they hated theirselves so much
" Let's just enjoy the f".**king breakfast shall we!" Laura shouted. She was almost at her limit
They all looked at her startled but they complied saying nothing anymore
" is anyone out there." Philip called after some time.
Michael came in and bowed to the royals
" Where the hell is Damian?" He asked. Michael hesitated before answering him
" He's at the training grounds your majesty." He replied
" Tell him to get his ass over here." Philip said and he saw Michael bit his lips. " Out with it."
" He's about to duel with Orion again." Michael said
They all widened their eyes. What did Orion say to upset Damian again. The last fight had been messy , Orion had almost killed Damian, he was daring and merciless. And he was loyal and respectful to only the real princes and their father. They all were the third prince guards
" Why?" Eric asked he looked worried
" I don't know for now." Michael answered truthfully.
And just like that breakfast was cut short and they all went outside to the training grounds to find out what the hell was going on
The training grounds was noisy and crowded. They didn't even realize when the royals came in. It was full of shouting, cheering. , Betting and so on.
The royal family were shocked when they saw that Damian was about to fight Orion. The cousins panicked looking for means to end the fight. Just like Damian they hated the princes and everything about them. But still the Princes were the Princes and anything about them was deadly even their guards
But something cut them short, all of them including the parents. It was the way Damian was looking, he didn't look worked up , he looked like he didn't want to fight him but there was something else
He wasn't afraid. He looked like fighting Orion would bore him to death.
