Princess and the Leo Guard (Kalter)

(Medevial AU)

Once upon a time....

In a kingdom. The Leo Kingdom oh yes this Kingdom has it's people with their King. If you think the king whom you see in fairytales, sitting on a throne made of gold and silver, much everything made of gold and silver, wasting themselves with gold, lavishing food and wine on the table, wasting their time and riches with only fine clothing and their truest possesions. Power holding on to their hands while their people following into their very own command, leaving them doing the labor only. That isn't a True King would do.

No, his people adore their King, King Manus. Their kingdom are lavish and fruitful, having enough much rescources, such as food, water and shelter. Their King is wise, smart and kind to his people. His people never have experienced war, hunger or such thing, he never concurred other kingdoms, their King is never been hungry for power, no he is contented on what he has. Because if he will concur, their will be war, and his kingdom will be a risk, "A life has a price, why spare it if you have people that adore you" The words their father said before passing down the throne to the eldest amongst them. The King makes sure everything will be equal for his people to share. His subjects however as well are truly greateful to their King, King Manus, that is the name of their king, he treats his subjects not as like peasants as you see like slaves. No, he knows that their still his people, he is strict but kind to them. They call on their names properly, and if they even tried to make a mistake he scolds them but corrects them after. And when they did something that pleased the King, he compliments them, dearly.  Their lifestyle aren't as grand as in the story books, no he is simple. He doesn't abuse that power for himself only, he shares it of course. He does not either spends his whole day sitting in the throne whatever doing. He walks and checks out his kingdom everyday calling them his "Morning Walks" as well as his people. He also has 2 siblings yes one named Kali, the middle child, his beautiful beloved sister, she is Quiet and strict most of the time but she is obedient ,helpful ,kind, gentle and she always follows the traits of his big brother, how she adores him. She also dreams someday on following her brother's footsteps and someday lead their kingdom into a bright future. "But if you want to lead your people into a bright future, start it on at home first, because that is where you find your habits and what the people will think of what kind of leader you are, your actions as a shepard will affect the flee of sheep and their actions will affect to yours, your family are your pride and that is it, nothing else." Those words of his that their father taught them of, morality the lessons of morality and life, as well as their mother of being kind to others "The people around you will always reach out to you if you reach out to them." Kali takes those words seriously, very seriously, also her job, she never actually wheres a dress or such thing, made out of jewels, made of the finest silk. Not at all, she actually wheres a guard uniform, kind of odd for a princess their. Instead of holding jewels, she holds herself with a weapon and armor, ready to serve her kingdom, Kali looks more beautiful wearing a uniform guard or an armor than wearing a gown, she is also a general of the Leo Guards, Leader of the Valiants, thats a first thing to start off on a kingdom. While the youngest Rex, about that he is not like his siblings, instead he is troublesome, prideful, quite stubborn and always causes trouble through the whole kingdom, teasing and causing pranks with the servants. He always makes a mess every single time while others cleans up his mess. They also posseses abilities of a kind, Manus posseses the abilities to heal and life, Kali posseses the power of darkness and destruction while Rex posseses the powers of wind. Kali has always been serious all the time, she never uses her powers because even though it is powerful, it could not have any advantage on the kingdom's problems like his brothers abilities, Manus comforts her on "it's ok you'll find out what it's for, it's a gift that is given by Ulcus." while Rex "What are those abilities for anyway, mine is totally better, beside shouldn't you be sitting still pretty combing your hair wearing and trying out dresses." She doesn't know who she is yet. She felt sheltered and leftout, afraid of being a monster, a monster that causes chaos, she felt insecure what if her powers lash of and she might not control it, what if she isn't strong enough. She feels lost until she found out who she was when a certain someone entered on her life, changing how she thinks of herself.

Valter's Pov 

I then set off to the palace gates, taking deep breaths, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, i repeated the sentence many several times "You can do this Valter once you get inside do not talk, do not speak back even if you don't get the job, besides if you don't it's ok if your not ready you can still get back on being a stage puppeteer. Wait don't hink like that, think positive you'll get the job you shouldn't just fail all you have to do is to make no mistake. " As I'm getting all prepared through these past months, training physically and mentally. I then knocked at the castle gates, twice... no one answered. I attempt to knock again but suddenly it opened and there are two guards standing pass me. "Are you here for the Valiant qualification?" The guard to the left ask me, I nodded and he asked me for my files and certificate. I handed it over he read my files and certificate and briefly scan me head to toe. He handed it back to me "Welcome come in, our guards will escort you inside" He then whistled suddenly two guards came rushing. "Yes sir" she replied with a cheerful salute. She looks like an ethusiast, a fox with a cheerful attitude, beside her is a big waterbull he looks strong because he got a big build up. "Paru take him to a little tour then inside the training hall, you follow too" He instructed. "Okay sir." the fox replied, "Rose!!!" the waterbull replied as well, what a weird response, interesting... The two began to escort me inside the castle. "You must be here for the tryouts, I'm Paru this is Rose he doesn't talk to much, how about you what's yours?" Wow didn't expect her to be that straight forward. I'm having second thoughts if i will reply or ignore her maybe i need to say classified. "Hey you alright, you spacing out for 3 minutes." that long 3 minutes, "You must be quiet huh you don't talk at all eh, its fine here have a treat it doesn't explode so don't worry" she gave me a piece of candy, i just kept it inside my pocket. She raised an eyebrow "You got some stanger danger issues do you." She sheepishly looked at me I rolled my eyes and then she shrugged it off and continued to talk. "So here is the dining hall, then there are the dormitory rooms incase you chose to stay. Anyway i'll guess you signed up here to flirt with the princess." I quickly shift my gaze to her in disbelief is she kidding? What does she think I am? "Nah just kidding just to lighthen up the mood besides you don't look like you got the guts to flirt with girls and talk to guys." she reassured me. I sighed in relief. We then got to the training hall. It's quite big and there displayed are weapons and armor i looked in amusement. "Cool am i right" Paru followed. "Welp you just wait for the General to be here she sometimes arrive a bit late well enjoy and make yourself at home." Paru waved goodbye and left following Rose. I then waited wandering and walking to keep me busy. Looking at the weapons and armor i then saw 3 armors made out of different materials. One is made out of Iron and broze, the one in the middle is made out of obsidian and netherite, the last is made out of Gold and silver. This must be the armor of the 3 majesties. I then walked pass by it wondering what would they look like if they wear such fine suits. My instincts then popped when an arrow almost tried to hit me i quickly dodged it. I' m trying to find where is the source coming from. Then another arrow tried to shoot me. I tried to dodge it again and then hordes of arrows in opposite direction tried to shoot me. I then tried to avoid it and sprinted it making a move. I then used my abbilities to control the arrows one by one i then gathered it all and made a storm of them. I instantly let go, the arrows shooting randomly. I then command the strings attached to the arrows to return to me. Then two dummies are introduced infront of me holing a bow and arrow. So these are the source, amazing technology this must be part of the training. Then I heard clapping "Well done, you showed a good fight" the voice then came out of nowhere then there are four knight clones summoned out of nowhere. "But if you will give a good fight try on taking down the four of us!" They then charged at me and the I prepared myself to attack.
