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
The two lackeys of Raek Sheen held Jake down as the medicine man made him drink the concoction. Raek Sheen smiled as he watched this. He calmed down much more and pulled a chair to sit down, staring at Jake."How long do we have to wait?"The old man stood up, looking at Jake. "A minute is enough.""That quick?" Raek Sheen couldn't believe it. "Your reputation indeed supersedes you."At this time, Jake began to growl as the medicine settled in his body. Seeing this, Raek stood up and took a few steps towards Jake. Before he could take out his knife, he was surprised to hear Jake starting to babble."Mr Raek, sir, i'm really sorry I couldn't talk earlier, actually I can talk see, I came from the Palace, it's true I came from the palace. Matter of fact, I landed on the Palace grounds on a private Jet from LA, okay. My name is Jake Larson and I'm married to the Princess Dohana of the Andorra Kingdom. Just a few days ago I brought her over to get the Queen Mother's approval but instead s
While panicking, Heathen Heart stepped aside to check behind Jake."You'll get me in trouble. Just how did you escape?"Jake smiled as he walked over to the old man. "Mr Heart, shouldn't you be happy to see me? Look, I brought your jacket and your hat."Huh? Mr Heart noticed his items as Jake soon arrived infront of him, but he sneered, pointing at Jake with his forefinger. "What's the use of having these items but lose my life. Kid, you're trouble. Why did you drink up the bad man's medicine?"Jake smiled and said, "Mr Heart, if I didn't drink your medicine, how could I be able to recover so quickly? Look, even my wounds are healed." Jake rolled his jacket and showed the scars of the wounds on his arm."What? So the medicine worked? Hey, does this mean you kid...you deceived us?"Jake chuckled, "don't pretend, I know you knew I was fine all along. Or did you doubt your own skills?""Kid, how could I be sure? It was the first time I tried that concoction.""Well, as you can see, it wo
"What, they know." Mr Heart said before he turned and fled. Jake had turned around as well, staring up at the approaching men before twisting around and racing behind the medicine man."Kill!"Dozens of bandits gave chase through the woods. Knowing this territory like the back of their hands, they quickly cut a hundred metres distance to about fifty metres in just mere minutes. Seeing the bandits getting closer, Mr Heart changed direction, cutting through a small rocky hill with Jake on his heels."Old man, where the hell are we headed to now!" Jake yelled as he added speed. The due ducked and avoided many rocks, jumping over some before they reached a descending steep hill.The medicine man looked down the dusty intimidating and descending steep hill and looked back at the oncoming crowds. Jake soon caught up and looked down as well."What the hell?" Jake cried, looking at that, one could fall to their death if they were not careful."Either we jump, or we die.""What?"The old man
"Aishantha, get into the Carriage, let's go. You know very well the war we just encountered for your sake. Your Majesty is waiting to see you, please don't make it difficult for me," the general begged.The beautiful woman looked at him coldly and sighed."General Blake, how can you beg this woman? We have bled for this woman, a ninth of the army perished for her sake, and you still have to beg her?" Another man confronted the general.'Damn it,' Blake had a headache, 'why did his majesty give me this foolish second in command who goes against me everywhere? If he hadn't performed well in the fight against the King of Thermes, I would have killed him long time ago.'General Blake Shelton was enraged and shouted, "who asked you to speak? George Rage, do you want to die?"When the rest of the men heard their general threaten, they quickly stepped forward, drawing our their weapons.George smiled akwardly and stepped back. At this moment, the men heard a thousand gallops coming from the
"Stop fighting!" General Blake shouted, lifting his arm up in surrender.Seeing this, Ithel lifted his arm up as well, "Stop fighting!" Both sides halted simultaneously and retraced back to their side.Ithel had glanced around for the old man and couldn't see him nor the young man anywhere. He had been anxious to stop the fight but didn't know how to do it. Now that the other party volunteered to stop the fighting, he obliged without hesitation."You…" Ithel pointed at Blake and shouted, "why did you meddle in our business? Now you let our two fugitives escape!"What?The general was stunned. "Didn't you just ambush us for the right to the Princess, don't talk nonsense." The general decided to hide the womans identity and call her a princess instead of a future Queen."What Princess?" Ithel was puzzled. "Didn't you clearly see us chasing two people? And you got involved without asking any questions. I tell you, if I don't catch those two people you will have to explain to the boss wh
