The children are sitting by the grass after playing for a while. It is still hours away until the banquet that will be held at night for the twins tenth birthday. "I am bored." Erica sighed. "We have been playing in the garden for quite a while now." "It would be great if we can go and see the festival in the capital." Eric said. "Oh yes. I remember father had ordered a week long festival in the capital city to celebrate our tenth birthday. Right, Karl ?" Amanda said. "Yes, I remember father making that order." Karl replied. "But we cannot go without any escort knight. As you know, all the knights and apprentice knights have their own tasks for today. Even Brad also has not come back." "I know right. It is quite weird that he has not come back yet." Amanda said. "Maybe he caught a cold after getting wet from your trap Amanda." Erica teased. "But that was just a little prank." Amanda felt guilty. "He is not that weak to get sick because of such a little thing." Karl repl
After eating lunch, the couples let their children play at the palace gardens because the inside of the palace is still quite busy with the preparations for the banquet tonight. "Be good to your cousins and little aunt and uncle, okay." Isabella said to Karl and Amanda. "I know how rough you two play, but because they are younger than the both of you play nice." "Yes, mother." Karl, Denzel, and Amanda replied in unison. "Do not worry your majesty, we know what to do." Erica replied with a big smile. "That is correct." Eric replied. "We have been playing with them for a long time now."The twins Erica and Eric have been going back and forth to their home in South Sparta and to the capital of Avalon because of their father Kyler’s work. Kyler has done a good job as the grand duke of South Sparta, but he cannot leave his old task of being by Ragnar’s side. He has promised Ragnar’s mother that he would look after him until death has taken him, and so he goes back to Avalon quarter
The children sneaked out of the palace undetected. Because they have been doing this for several times now, they were at ease with their little secret outing. Unbeknown to them, Avatar and Snow, the imperial couple's familiars, are keeping an eye on them and making sure that they are safe.They arrived at the busy streets of the capital. They can see the colorful decorations around, something that is not common at regular days in the capital "Whoaaaa…" Denzel said with an excited expression. "I never saw the capital this lively before. I mean, it is normally a busy place but now it seems so lively and colorful." "I know, right." Amanda replied with the same enthusiasm as her little brother. "There are so many side stalls that sells different kinds of stuff. I bet merchants from all over the continent are here to do business." "Yes, I believe so." Brad replied with a smile. He was happy to see these royal children happy. "Your highnesses' imperial father had opened the capital for
The capital is very lively with the hustle and bustle of the festival. Music is playing everywhere you go. Entertainers and musicians are scattered around. At the town square, the biggest wide space that can be found in the capital, is now packed with many people.The square was filled with food stalls while at the center was a stage where a stage play is being played. The stage play portrays many stories such as the emperor and empress story, the war against Sparta, the war against the late Queen Fiona, and the unification of the four great countries into one single and strong empire.Right now, the play is about the almighty One. They are playing it as it was written in the books. After winning the war against Queen Fiona, Emperor Ragnar and Empress Isabella had written a book about the story of the almighty One. The book published had two versions. One was the version where the physical book could not leave the palace private library which only royalty could access, and the other v
There they are." Amanda whispered and pointed towards Denzel and Sky. The two children had there hand and feet tied. Karl nodded with Amanda’s words and gestured her to keep silent. "One, two, three, four, five. Five men." Snow counted and whispered to Karl and Amanda. "I will help you get the two children to safety. Can you help me get those bad guys distracted?" She asked. "Distraction?" Amanda asked. "Well, that is our specialty. Right, Karl." "Yes." Karl replied. The twins smiled wickedly and looked at the kidnappers. "Look at these children. They are wearing expensive looking clothes." One of the kidnappers said. "They look like rich kids. We can either put a ransom on them if we know who their parents are or sell them at a high price." "Hey you." Another kidnapper called Denzel’s attention. "Who are your parents?" He asked. The little Denzel stayed silent. He looked at the kidnappers with hatefull eyes. "Hey! What are you looking at, huh?" The other kidnapper grabbe
I said…" Karl looked up the Eden man. His eyes started to glow white. "You are going to pay with what you did to my little brother!" He shouted in fury.Karl’s short black hair started to glow and grow long. The color of his hair from the tips started to change to silver until his whole hair was changed to silver. "W-What is this?" The Eden man was shocked to see Karl’s hair length and hair color change. "What is happening?"The ground under their feet started to shake violently, as if there was an earthquake. The alchemic circle's light started to blink as if it was losing power. "I can see it now!" Amanda shouted with an excited smile. "I can undo this circle momentarily. Snow, be prepared to get the little ones to safety when I undo this." "Yes.!" Snow replied in a hear beat.But before Amanda was able to undo the alchemic circle that was weighing Karl down, the prince was able to stand up at ease. It was as if the strength and magic power that was drained from him were being fi
The four sacred beasts surrounded the twins. They protected them at their center.Leader!" A robed man called. "T-These… these are the four sacred beasts!" "Yes, I know." The tall man replied. "They are the ones that we need to bring back to Eden." "They are quite big!" One of the robed men said in astonishment. "How can we capture them sir?" One robed man asked. "Tsk, we planned to take the kid in our custody. With that, the four sacred beasts would follow us back to Eden." The tall man said. "But our plan backfired." "What are we going to do now sir?" Another of the robed man asked. "Just give us your orders leader." One of the robed men said. "We shall follow your orders leader." Another robed man said. "Tsk…" The tall man was in a tight spot.On the other hand, the sacred beasts were keeping the twins out of harm's way. "This is not good. The four sacred beasts have strong power that we cannot match for now. Fall back!" "You heard the leader, fall back!" Another robed ma
Back at the palace, the adults had gathered together in one of the big reception rooms in the palace. The children were told to be at their rooms. But they insisted on staying at the twin's room until they wake up.The door opened and the couple Elsa and Bob came rushing in with an anxious expression. "We have heard of what happened." Elsa said with a concerned tone. "How are the imperial children?" "We let our son Damien join the other children." Bob said. "I am sure that he is also worried for his cousins." "Thank you for your concern, Elsa and Bob." Isabella welcomed them with a hug. "The children are fine, thank goodness." "They are brave young children, so I will not worry too much about them." Bob smirked. "They got their bravery from their parents." "Thank you for the compliment and welcome back." Ragnar also welcomed the couple with a hugged. "You have come at a bad timing, but I am happy that you are here." "We are sorry for being late as such a crucial hour." Elsa apol
