The atmosphere became tense instantly, the committee members retorting with sneers, anger written on their faces.Finally, someone banged the table and shouted, "kid, do you think this is a place where you can come and be a comedian? Do you know how much it is to fund the games?""This kid is bold, dare to interrupt such an important meeting?""Today's the last day to decide on the action plan to get the games funded, how can we sit back and allow this day to get out of hand like this?""Jizio, why have you brought a joke to us at a day like this?"Hearing this, the official bowed his head in embarrassment. He realised he might have jumped the gun bringing Jake here without verifying if he could really fork out the needed funds for the games."Look at his attire, how could he possibly be rich enough to fund the games?""You people quickly leave, don't waste our time."The committee members glowered at Jake and his company, frustration written on their faces. They had been arguing abou
As the crowd of people watched on in disbelief, nothing made more sense to this protesters than what they had seen themselves. They clearly remember the Princess acknowledging Jake as the future king of Andorra, at this time, none of them would dare make the mistake of not recognising royalty.Seeing the protesters kneeling and quivering with fear as they greeted Jake, this time, not only were the officials and committee members dumbfounded but even Jake's new friends- Mr Cook, Steven Ray, Aishantha, Emily Zane, Dan Brown, Raek Sheen, and the others were utterly astonished. Even though they believed Jake, but the bare truth that he was not only royalty, but the future King of Andorra- his majesty, hit them ruthlessly hard."Lazio, we are friends, you get up first." Jake spoke with a grin."My Lord," Lazio spoke as he stood up, "why are you here? I don't understand."With his hands behind his back, Jake kept his smile."Didn't we agree to meet in seven days? I believe today is the seve
Princess Dohana couldn't believe her eyes, her gleamer of hope, and the genius behind her escape, the cousin who loves her dearly, had returned from overseas."Cousin Peter!" Dohana screamed as she dashed to embrace the young man."Little cousin, I'm finally back. Let's see who dares to bully you." Peter said as he glared at the people on the table.Witnessing this, the guests at the table were surprised. 'Who is this? So close to the Princess?'The Queen Mother grimaced before rolling her eyes.'This lawless Peter, how did my brother have such a son who does as he pleases. Even after I refused him from going to sturdy overseas he still left and even though he was away, he still managed to cause so much trouble in the royal family.'Wrapping her arms around Peter, Dohana dragged him to the table, allowing him to seat next to Prince Dominic while she sat next to Peter. "Cousin, what a surprise. I didn't think you'd come back so quickly," Dohana said."Ofcourse I had to come back, how
Standing in the middle of the palace hall with the royal family glaring at him dumbfoundedly, the general almost panicked. Especially when he saw the Queen Mother's face turn red. 'Hows this possible?' her head was buzzing and couldn't figure it out for a while. Initially, the Queen Mother had hated the idea of the games being cancelled, but when she saw how the political heads of Andorra had practically begged her to reinstate the games; she had used it as a bargain to control them, thereby strengthen her rule of the Kingdom. Now, to hear that 'somebody' had paid for the games to continue, it was shocking. Knowing that she could lose her grip on political affairs, she was distraught. "Hows this possible?" The Queen Mother staggered back. "Who could possibly pay up a billion dollars just for the sake of these stupid games?" The general shrugged, waiting patiently for instructions. "If I may," Peter stood up, came over and said, "if somebody funded the games, that could only mean
The next morning, as the bright sun rose in the east, Jake, alongside Mr Heart stood by a large open field with his arms folded on his chest, watching as George Brown and his brother illustrated sword skills infront of the hundreds of new members of the resistance. "Do you think they'll be ready for the war by tomorrow?" Jake asked. "If we use them correctly," answered Mr Heart. "Very well," Jake said, "you'll be in charge of the invasion plan. If anything goes wrong, I know you have your formations to correct it. Tomorrow morning, teach these new members how to respond to your formations. Do everything in your power to protect these civilians." "Don't worry, Mr Larson. I'll take care of it. Speaking of protection, I've sent a dozen men to guard our camp and pretend to be villagers. When the royals spies show up, they will point them to the wrong direction." Jake smiled happily, "you're an absolute genius. Point them towards the mountains. By the way, how about that healing concoc
A few hours later, on the outskirts of the El-Tarter, a thousand royal soldiers marched toward the east. The general Bengy Dowson led the men, riding alongside him was none either than Mr Goodson. As the men passed by a narrow path, they saw a few men farming near the river. The general raised his hand up and everyone stopped."Quickly, ask those men if they saw the bandits pass by here lately."A soldier ran down quickly and soon returned."My lord, the farmers say thousands of men passed by here some eight hours ago. They recognised some of them as the mountain bandits."Hearing this, both Bengy and Mr Goodson nodded, but the latter was skeptical. Just as Mr Dowson was about to signal for them to continue, Mr Goodson spoke."Wait, Mr Dowson, don't you think there's something strange going on here?" Mr Goodson said while staring at the farmers."What do you mean," Bengy glared at him suspiciously."Look at it like this," Mr Goodson said, pointing to the farmers. "Why does it seem li
All the soldiers glared at the man in disbelief. How could they believe that they had travelled all the way to the Andorrian boarder for nothing. If this was possible, it would mean that they had been tricked all the way here and would not be able to return to El-Tarter on time. Crazy..."What nonsense are you talking about?" Said Bengy Dowson, feeling embarrassed and disgruntled about the possibility of this truth.Mr Goodson took a few deep breaths, walking over with a dertemined look on his face. "General, it's all true. When I returned back to El-Tarter last night, I followed those farmers back to their camp, only to find that they are part of the resistance. They pretended to be returning to the mountains just to avoid your trouble."Hearing this, Mr Dowson turned around to look at the windy mountains. They suddenly felt so abondoned and disolate."General, don't waste your time exploring the mountains. We don't have enough time, let's rush back immediately to catch them unaware
At the royal palace, the pre-wedding festivities were still thriving at midnight. Earlier that evening, the Queen Mother had even set up a celebration banquet for the wedding. Everyone had been drinking all night and this time, most of them were drunk. The Prince of Paris, Dominic, kept the crowd alive with his humourous stories. The crowd kept bellowing with laughter. "Imagine, without a penny to his name. A nobody still wants to marry the Princess?" A roar of laughter followed. Raising his voice, Prince Dominic continued. "Huh, trying to wrestle the Prince for his bride? That's like a lightweight trying to wrestle a heavyweight. He has his eyes on the throne? We might as well hand over the kingdom to a peasant." More cachination ensued. Suddenly, the door to the Banquet hall banged open and general Bengy Dowson strode in with a panic. The sudden sound attracted everyone in the hall as they turned to stare. Seeing the serious face of the general, the hall went so silent you cou
