"Are there no heroes in Andorra!" The Giant man roared. "If there is no heroes step back and admit defeat!"
"Admit defeat!"
"Admit defeat!"
The soldiers behind the Giant yelled simultaneously, their momentum shaking the ground. A burst of cheers followed.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound they could hear, drums playing and trumpets blarring.
The Giant raised his arm up, and his soldiers went quiet. He lowered his brows and from a distance, he could see a man riding a horse, followed by other horseriders.
The sound of Trumpets and drums had startled even the Andorra soldiers.
"Make way for the Royal Negotiator!" The general
In an exquisite bedroom of the palace, a Princess was seated with a gloomy face. A day ago, her husband was forced to go on a dangerous mission to conquer political negotiations for the Kingdom of Andorra. Failure, would mean death to her beloved. So the Princess was worried sick. She hadn't heard anything since then, tears began to trickle down her rosy cheeks. 'Oh my Jake, how could you have been so foolish. How could you take on such a fatal task, now there's no word. Does this mean there was no survival?' While the Princess was meditating on the issue, she suddenly heard a faint sound of trumpets and some noise. 'Huh? What's that sound?' Dohana stood up, rushed over and put on her slippers before dashing out the door hurriedly. Dohana saw other royal
It had only been a few minutes since they had returned, but the Legend of Jake 'the negotiator' had already spread among the people. The soldiers quickly exaggerated the story and made Jake's defeat of the giant literal. At the Kings lounge, the highest ranking of soldiers were seated, with Jake sitting as the highest guest of honour. The elders of the royal house as well as the Queen toasted to their victory, clashing their wine glasses against each other. The Queen had quickly prepared a banquet under pressure from the elders. Jake's triumph was to be celebrated tonight. An elder picked up a glass and cheerfully said, "to the negotiator, for successfully retreating the enemy back to the barrier." "To the negotiator!" Everyone else shouted in unison and gulped down their wine.
The Prince shot up onto his feet, starring daggers into Jake. "You!" The Prince was appalled, "it's you!" Everyone in the building was surprised at the Princes out burst. "What's going on, does the Prince know this man?" "Huh, what's happening?" The Prince calmed himself down and showed a smirk before gently sitting back down. "So, it's you? Who would have thought?" Prince Dominic spoke and took a sip of his wine. "I've been wondering who would be so bold as to impersonate the Prince of Paris and even use my name to drive the Celts back behind the barrier." "What!" Everyone exclaimed.
In the cold and rainy night, a few palace guards had their hands full escorting a young man out of the banquet hall. The guards pushed and pulled aggressively."Stop it, let go of him!" Princess Dohana yelled. "He's the hero of Andorra, let him go!""Dohana!" The Queen Mother shouted at her, "get out of the way, he deserves it!""Hero? What hero? Take him to the Dungeon!" The Prince of Paris also shouted orders."Take him to the Dungeon!" The Queen Mother also yelled."Dohana!" Jake yelled.Princess Dohana lurched forward once again, trying to break through the wall of men who had stood guard against her approach. Tears were streaming down her face. She didn't know how
Terrah stood there in disbelief. 'This dude wants me to break them out? Together with the princess? Isn't that self-destructive?"Don't ponder over it," Jake spit out some blood and stared coldly at Terrah. "You do as I say, or is the words of the Prince the words of a weakling?""Enough!" Prince Terrah roared, "I'll do as you said."Jake barely chuckled and glanced at Terrah, "I thought you'd really put up a fight."Terrah leaned back on the wall and sighed. "It's better you than him. I have a feeling that bastard really colluded with the Celts, and besides, my cousin likes you more, so…"Jake grinned and pointed his head towards the door, "get out."Boom!
At the Banquet hall, the charasmatic Prince Dominic was getting more drunk and he became even more talkative."Pour more wine, are you sure you don't want to hear another one of my stories? Okay, there was this one time. I escaped the kingdom in search of a bride, deep in the woods in the far country, I met this damsel."Cheers of excitement roared from the crowd as the Prince of Paris continued."She was so pretty, so pretty that...she reminds me of Princess Dohana right now. Anyway, I took her back to the palace after a few days of falling head over heels. But my father, the King, refused our union, broke my heart, shattered my dreams but he said son, one day...one day, you will understand, and marry someone who was of royalty, a woman that is as beautiful as...Princess Dohana."
In the darkness of the night, Jake could clearly see the shape of the Prince's face with the crescent moon on his background. The sound of a thud could be heard through Jake's ringing ears. He subconsciously glanced aside and saw another man who approached. Jake gathered all the ounce of strength he had left to get up and fight one more time. "Get him up!" Prince Terrah ordered. A man rushed over and aggressively lifted him up to his feet. The man stood aside when he got a head signal from the Prince. "Should I rough him up-" A hand gesture interrupted the man. "I thought you'd be long gone by now, Jake. But I knew you were smart enough to avoid the village." "Prince Terrah, don't go back on your word," Jake pleaded. "I'm not going to, it's obvious that you want to get us all in trouble so I came to help you out." The Prince smiled. The man beside the Prince was startled. "Servant, put him on the horse and send him towards the woods." Huh? The servant was puzzled. "My Prin
The group of bandits all stood side by side flabbagasted by the site infront of them. They recognised the palace horse with its special royal reigns. It was beautiful and white, with it's incredible braided mane reaching from the poll to the withers.Raek took a step closer, "is he still alive?""Yes, he seems alive.""Who do you think he is boss?" One man asked.Raek Sheen squatted down to investigate the man on the ground. "A man with this tattered clothes, bruises and an arrow wound, riding a palace horse. He must be an enemy of the royal palace."Huh? The men glanced at each other. "If he's an enemy of the royal house. Wouldn't that mean he's one of us?"Hearing this, Raek turned around and stared at his men contemptuously. "Idiot, don't you see it? If this man ran from the palace that means he is highly wanted. Therefore, taking him back might earn us rewards.""We're at odds with the royal house, how could they reward us?""That's true," said Raek as he stood up. "Bring him up t
