On the way to the battle

"A merchant's son going to the battlefield. It is the beginning of the end." It was the first thing I thought of when I got into the carriage. It was not as dirty and badly treated as I had imagined it would be. The coachman was an old man of few words. The seats were wooden, hard, and cold. It was early autumn, and the garden at the entrance to the fortress was more colorful than in the spring. The cold breeze passed completely through my thin clothes. I close the window. I watch through the glass, the place that I called home for two years, slowly disappear from my sight. I don't remember how long the trip took. I was too tired. At about noon, two other boys climb into the carriage. I remember meeting both. They were probably part of the mandatory training with the old general. However, I never talked to anyone but Prince during practice. They were my age, or at least they seemed to be. One was tall and dark, with black hair and honey-colored eyes. The second was similar to th

The Battle

Our outpost was on the west side of Castela. Vani was not pleased with this at all, as Kreg was attacking the east side. Honestly, I was very relieved that I would not have to fight so soon. Vani and the Tado brothers have had military exercise classes since they could hold a sword, but I only had two disastrous years of combat class! When we finally arrived it was already night, the first thing I noticed when leaving the carriage was the smell. Vegetable and lamb soup made on the fire. I hadn't eaten since morning and that smell was killing me. We were taken to what looked like a small town made of red and white huts. Men were running everywhere, forges were lit and armors were being polished. It seemed that all men had something to do. We were taken to a kind of improvised courtyard with benches made of logs and dirt. Finally, served with a bowl each of concentrated soup and a piece of meat on top. We had to use our hands(we were forced to wash them) to eat because the spoon hadn't

At your sevice!

Sun on my face. I am awake! I get up, splash water on my face, and change myself. I leave my room in a jump. I find maids running everywhere. A soldier carrying wood bumps into me. —Sorry your Highness! —He shouts and continues on his way without looking back. Even though everything seems squeezed, I miss many well-known faces. People are more spread out because of the war, busier. I also make my way through the full corridors, being small has its advantages. I start running by the blacksmithing. It was five-thirty in the morning and the place was already boiling. All five furnaces (that looked more like the volcanoes in the illustrated books) were lit and dozens of blacksmiths raised and lowered their hammers. Pang, Pong Pum. Horrible noise. Even worse is the smell of smoke, coal, metal, and other burning things. (That I don't want to know what it is) Gray-haired blacksmith looks at me and says, —Hey boy! We need more copper here! —Other Blacksmiths start to notice

Ronald the royal soldier

I've been riding for two days straight. I am not able to narrate with mere words The feeling of being in my place. It is agonizing. Every second that passes I am forced to use forces that I was not even aware of. But I need to continue. Not because it is an order from the king or because it is my duty. But why in my hands do I have a seed, small and delicate. Which can be a big and beautiful tree that will guide us all! I have the hope and the future in my hands and I cannot let it die. I can feel the suffering of my faithful companion. His trotting has been going slower, and I can feel his breathing faster and faster. He can't take much more, even though I sacrificed half of my supplies just for him. The little madam in my lap no longer laments his swing, and that only worries me more. I am far from being an example of a good mother. For the last time, I swear, I lightly press my partner's belly, we must be faster. Even tired, more exhausted than I would ever dream to be, he hears m

Kreg kingdom

Why do I have so few chapters for myself if I am the main caracter? How is a war, full of blood and politics more interesting than me? Ok, I did not do anything really important, and I admit that I enjoyed the months of peace. Being able to sleep knowing that I am not being observed by ghosts is better than holidays. But the war is over, and it's time to collect the rewards. Attention is now very welcome. Appreciate the masterpiece of my effort! First something more significant. To discover where the hell am I. And where the hell did they take Mr Bunny to. The only thing I know is that it is dark, very dark. Four days ago, I'm sure I was in the real winter cabin with Rômulo. Castela had managed to fully penetrate Kreg's territory. They captured all the influential nobles in the region, that includes me. The rest of the days consisted of being imprisoned in the roughest, coldest, trembling, and dirty carriage I have ever been in! At least we were allowed three hot meals a

Knight plan's

Welcome back, my invisible thoughts. If we go on to continue the story from where we stopped the summary need to be quick. I have a lot to tell you. Most importantly, I got mister bunny back. After an exhausting speech, I was finally released. From prisoner to guest, now I could finally wander freely. I was bathed by the maids in rot water and dressed in clean clothes. A white pyjama nightgown. Finally, in the place, I should have been from the beginning. Resting and enjoying my newest room as an honored guest. On a soft cotton bed … red like everything around me. My body is finally light, warm, and most importantly, finally clean! Sincerely, think about it. A mere child spends all his fortune travelling for two years without any comfort in poor lands. Just to save the enemy country because he knows it is the right to do. Does He receive a medal? No. He is locked up like a criminal and interrogated before the king himself! Well, at least I had my consultation with the king an

The revolt of yet another prince

Warm light warms my skin. It's already day! I open my eyes, take a deep breath of the cold morning air. And I'm awake! I jump out of bed and stretch as far as I can. The birds are singing, the sun is rising, and the whole day seems to be smiling! Turn to my bench, a bowl of freshwater rests in it. I observe my reflection, how happy I look today! Can't stop smiling! Wash my face. How cold is the water! For sure, I am well awake now. Turn to my wardrobe, start to dress myself up. I need to button the buttons right! Tie the knot in the best possible way. And still, need to be careful not to wear anything inside out! Why are clothes so complicated? Tock tock I hear from the door. —Come in! — I answer right away. —How excited your highness is this morning! —The familiar voice exclaims. —Moli! Help me out! I am stuck!— I give up trying to stick my head in the jacket. —Well, it is already a breakthrough!— She says pulling me out of the jacket. I can see again! —Are you looking

Arthur IIIV King of Castela

The reddish first rays of sunlight of the day finally reached the windowsill, illuminating the red pillows that covered almost the entire surface of the room. The cool morning breeze from the window refreshes my tiredness. If I lean over the window I can see the cold, black view of the solid walls. Slowly, the landscape beyond the walls is illuminated and reveals the hot and busy landscape of the capital of Castela, Camelot. An astonishing view as always. There is no painting I could hang on my wall that would compete with the view I have from this window. Smoke rises from the chimneys and the smell of freshly baked bread reaches me, renewing my energy. Just in time, I hear the familiar knocks on the wood coming from the open door. In front of my door, a slender woman with curly brown hair and a penetrating look was waiting for me. Dressed in the colors of the flag and holding a tray of freshly baked bread and fruit, she was someone I would trust my soul with if I could. — Good

The living nightmare

So did you come back to make fun of me? Yes! I admit. I missed it. You already knew that? Who cares, I already counted on this result. Even the sun in my head hurt more than losing that bet! I merely wish I hadn't made myself so silly in front of all royalty. I feel like I am waking up from a nightmare. I remember being woken up by the housekeeper and filling my pathetic chest with arrogance as I let the maids dress me in new clothes. I put mister bunny in my bag, that baby toy, as the heir would call it. I displayed him everywhere for everyone to see, still under the illusion that the old man put me, that it was a token. How shameful! Before the hole real court! As I always used the lame excuse of my fragility for one of the servants to carry me to the council room. How pitiful! I had not looked down once while headed for the council room. I even got to enjoy the fresh morning air! Pathetic! I remember I still had a disgraceful smile on my face when I was seated in the

The contract

I must confess, the king's idiocy bothered me so much, that for one day I was beside myself. Fortunately, baths serve not only to cleanse the body, but also the soul. The shame that had been eating away at me is now in the past. Plan A didn’t work, but deep down, I was already counting on it. Time to put Plan B into practice and if it still goes wrong, we have C. The way back was easy since it is still early. The city could stay like this forever. Quiet, dark, and pleasant. I was still a little confused when I got home. Completely relaxed, but still, something bothered me. It was the sight of Naukar that made me remember what had happened this morning. The breakfast was postponed (again) the instant I remembered it. I took out my notebook and started to leaf through my notes. They were abstract, but clear enough. I packed my little bag with everything I needed and left again. I need to catch up. Soon the sun will rise and honestly, I already had enough yesterday. Rômulo's offic
