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
The atmosphere in the hall changed, one could cut the air between the Queen Mother and Princess Dohana with a blunt knife. The silence that reigned, if you dropped a pin, it could be heard clearly. Between the royal family, it was Dorah who recovered first. Her sharp eyes stared down the Princess and she couldn't hide her disgust. "You...Dohana, how could you be this stupid? What marriage are you talking about?" Sirah also added, furrowing her brows, "do you mean you're married officially? Like legally?" The Queen Mother cackled out of nowhere. The voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the hall as everyone looked at each other in dismay. "Child, don't tell me you got drunk and had an accidental wedding." The Queen Mother continued to laugh. "No. Your majesty, it was a sober day when I got married." "Shut up!" Dorah scolded angrily. 'How shameless can this woman be?' "You shut up, okay!" Dohana retorted, pointing her fore-finger across the lot. "I don't need any of your
The bullet flew through the air. While Aishantha looked on at the gun quivering helplessly, a diving figure leaped across her and fell to the ground.What?Everyone's head was buzzing, did the Queen Mother really pull the trigger?Aishantha subconsciously probed her body for gunshot wounds. And when she found none, she instantly glanced at the figure lying on the floor. Her mind was boggled.It was Jake. Blood was stained all over his suit and his white t-shirt was red."No, Jake!" Princess Dohana cried, dropping to her knees and puzzled, not knowing how to help Jake at all. "Why did you do that, why?"With his eyes closed as if he was dead, Jake didn't respond.Everyone else stood there, stunned."Oh, you want to be a hero, right?" The Queen Mother said, chuckling before raising the gun towards Aishantha again. Prince Dominic quickly stepped over and blocked Aishantha completely."You...you have dissapointed me Dominic. Did you forget the plan so suddenly? You were supposed to marry
Feeling the cold blade on his neck, Prince Dominic was furious. How could he have let his guard down. As the renown Prince of Paris, and having trained on the art of combat since he was a child, how could he accept defeat by an amateur. 'Obviously this kid is no experienced fighter, and to be cheated and be outdone by him is just embarrassing. But I'm a Prince, I can't lose.' "I said, say your last words pal!" Jake yelled. Prince Dominic thought of countermeasures quickly. "Who said I've lost," after he spoke, the Prince used his left hand to squeeze Jake's injured shoulder. The Prince had thought about it. He'd hurt Jake where he previously stabbed him and then use this momentum to turn the tables. After using all his strength to squeeze and jab the injured shoulder, Jake merely glanced at his hand. Seeing Jake's smirk, Prince Dominic was astonished. Why is he not hurting? Seeing his puzzled face, Jake leaned back and used his right hand to reveal the wounded area. What?
Pin drop silence followed as all eyes gathered around the man who had just crashed into the wedding hall. Everyone couldn't help but gasp at the sight and the aura that pervaded him. He wore a stylish black suit, with a red tie; the black shades he had on gave him a mysterious demeaner. With his hands jammed into his side pockets, looking extremely relaxed, he smiled as he glanced at the audience. The Queen Mother was staring at him in total bewilderment. She couldn't figure it out. She had done her utmost best to ensure he would never be able to enter the palace, let alone the wedding venue. How did he pass through the thousands of royal soldiers defending the royal palace?"Jake!"Princess Dohana couldn't believe her eyes. She shuddered at the site of him, staggering back.'Finally, my Prince charming didn't let me down. He came to save me. He is really here. Am I dreaming? That means I don't have to marry Dominic, I don't.'As a thousand thoughts ran through Princess Dohana's mind
The atmosphere became tense in a second. Erick Vohn drew out his sword, showing a sneer as he directed his sword towards the Resistance army."How dare you try to deceive us? Do you know who I am?"Mr Heart returned a mocking smirk, "You're the general of a mutilated army.""Shut up! the general shouted, "soldiers, attack!"The royal soldiers roared and charged together simultaneously."Resistance, buckle up and get ready to defend, walls of steel!" As soon as the words resonated through the air, the Resistance formed a straight wall. One soldier had his knee to the ground, the other stood behind him blocking the abdomen, their shields both blocking the opponent. Behind them, the soldiers pushed them hard to resist.When the oncoming traffic of royal soldiers clashed against the wall, they bounced off and stabilised their feet before rushing back. After several attempts, the soldiers began to wonder what was up about the wall? How could their opponents be so strong. Seeing this scen
As the sun rose in the east, Princess Dohana opened her eyes and she couldn't help sighing with emotions. Today was her wedding day but she was sad. She had always imagined her wedding day would be the happiest day of her life. But instead, it promised to become a dreadful day.Soon Princess Dohana picked herself up and prepared to head over to the bathroom to wash up but to her surprise, a man was sitting on a chair looking at her attentively."Prince Dominic!"The Prince smiled and said, "you look even more beautiful when you're sleeping so peacefully."Feeling intruded, Princess Dohana stepped back instinctively and said, "what are you doing here? Don't you know the groom is not supposed to see the bride on the morning of the wedding?"The smile on the Prince's face was quickly replaced by a lazy sneer. "Oh please, cut the crap. It's not like you really want to get married to me."Princess Dohana looked down as she saw his gloomy face.Seeing her so docile, Prince Dominic stood up
