Chapter 12 - Childhood Friend

After the servants greetings to the crown prince, they resume their individual tasks. The great warrior and the other knight took their own roles.

(The crown prince)

We haven't seen each other for a while.

You must be tired from your mission.

Will, of course, I am your highness. 

But since you have come. I have to make an exception.

Your food and the room are already prepared.

Have you eaten already?

Don't mind me, your highness. 

You should dine with me tonight.

As you wish, your highness.

The two of them dine together. Eating peacefully in the middle of the night. The picture of the two young men is quite rare. The two of them are considered the epitome of beauty in the empire. Where a lot of women are dying just to have a glimpse of them. A perfect body build that makes the men jealous. The two of them are the perfect representation of the nobility.

Pardon me, your highness. 

When will you go back to the imperial palace?

The silent clattering of the plate can be heard by the servant from afar.

I will be staying in here for a while.

I have business to do in here.

Is it the reason you stop by to see him in the cost?

Will not exactly, but a lot of rumors are already spreading in the empire.

I have a lot of questions, and some of the information is resting on this place.

Tell me if you need my assistance, your highness.

Of course I need you to do the rest for me.

Today is a long day. We can continue our conversation tomorrow.

Yes, your highness.

Please have a peaceful rest.

The prince then lifted the dining table and went to the bedroom. On the other hand, Kae took a quick stroll to his mother's garden before taking a rest.

The connection of the current crown prince and the young master of the Moenglyrn. It all begins when Kaelor Vesh'nai is chosen as his playmate by the imperial family. The crown prince and he are of the same age. But in their childhood, the prince was consideredthe rogue heir of the empire.

He was known as the spoiled son of the current emperor. He always throws tantrums at his servant and at the night. On the day the headmaster was called to the court. He took Kae to the palace as the previous emperor requested.

On that same day, the young lady of House Merleon is also at the palace. It was the day when all the heads of the seven strongholds gathered at the court. The heir of the houses Merleon and Moenglyrn was allowed to wander around the palace. 

[ Palace Garden ]

Kae, strolling around the garden maze.

This garden is amazing but not as good as Mother's garden.

The sun is burning. I should go back before Father comes to pick me up.

Who is that boy over there?

He was mesmerized by the look of the boy. He tries 'to go back to his step. But he notices the blazing gaze of the boy makes him flinch.

Who are you?

Why are you in this place?

Are you even allowed to be in here?

The young prince arrogantly shouted at him. 

The prince then pointed his wooden sword at him. Kae, on the other hand, was not afraid of what he did. The prince was then annoyed by what happened. He then throws a quick punch to Kae in the face.

But he quickly dodges the punch. He might look small and fragile, but he has quick reflexes.

The prince 

Ahh (shocked)

Did he just avoid my attack?

Who do you think you are?

Ahhh. (He shouted and swung his wooden sword at him.)

A loud bang to the bushes in the garden maze. 

[Kae's thought]

Is he the young prince?

What is he doing attacking me out of nowhere?

I have to avoid his attack as much as I can.

He's so fast...

He shouted,

Please stop; I don't have any ill intentions towards you.

I was just strolling in here.

The prince ignores him and is wildly attacking him. He continued attacking for about thirty minutes. The prince was gasping out of breath. Arrogantly stood and said,

"I am the prince of this empire."

Tell me who you are.

Kae answered, 

I am the young master of the house, Moenglyrn. Your Highness.

The prince is exactly five steps away from him. Holding and pointing his wooden sword at him.

On their side was a young girl that stood still for about five minutes and was stunned about what was happening.

The prince then looked at her with a gaze piercing through. He shifted his sword and pointed it at her.

You, small skinny skeleton.

Who are you?

She shuddered and said,

I am Meilyn, the young lady of House Merleon.

So the two of you are nobles of the two households.

The young prince has calmed down and invited the two of them to join him for tea.

From then on,the three of them have become more closed. The prince threw tantrums, and the imperial family decided to make the young master of the east his playmate.

The three of them were considered the most brilliant of the empire. Each of them has their own mastered field. Even in the academy, the three of them have set a record. They are competent enough and considered unmatched in their generation.

They are currently the most respected noble son and daughter of the empire. The two of them, Kae and Mei, are loyal to the crown prince. They know him better than anyone. The two respected him, and the three of them took care of each other in their own unique way.

Amidst the challenges they own. They did not forget each other. Out of the three of them, Mei is in the center. She always keeps them in check but does not cross the line. The three of them seem too cold with each other. But their actions speak louder than words.
