The Enchantress

11.

Prince Chaeyoung.

I called for the boys and the general to gather by the fire and wait for the two.

"What did we missed?" Mason asked as he sat beside Sato and Rowan sat beside him.

"Nothing, we're waiting for you guys. Good job." He and Mason fist bump.

He then directed his fist towards Rowan. "You too kid, not bad."

I smiled. The kid did great. At first I thought he wouldn't be able to do it not because he can't, but because he'd be doing it for the first time and it's even for his enemy too. I learned from our spy that he haven't been in a real battle before and haven't killed anyone yet.

"Report." I then said to Mason.

"Everything went according to plan though we aost got caught cause of the kid. The guard appeared out of nowhere in between us so he slap him on the neck. The clunk of his armor could have been heard by the guards if I haven't captured his body." He said looking at Rowan, who now looking offended. He seemed like he want to get him into trouble. Mason then continued.

"But it could have been worse if not for his quick action. He might have alarmed the guards before we have thought of how to knocked him out without killing him." The kid then now looked surprised on what Mason had said.

I was also surprised too. Mason might have now liked the kid now that he literally saved both his ass and the kingdom too from bloodbath.

I walked around the fire looking at the boys. "That was smart to aim the neck preventing him from shouting. Smooth for a first time kid." I said now looking at him.

"Thank you my Lord. I just acted by instinct. If I hadn't, Mason would've killed that soldier... and me." He said innocently.

We all laughed at him. I then noticed the general was approached by one of the soldiers.

"That would be after the fight. I'll make sure you fight first in battle and if you live through it, I'll skin you alive." Mason said looking amused. The men laughed while I was looking at the general.

"General, everything in order?"

"Yes, my Lord. I've just received a report no movement from the castle nor the guards." The general said.

Mason and Rowan both looked confused. I'm expecting one of them would be asking me now.

"My Lord, Care to share to the guys who came from the wall?" Mason said.

"It's not over, yet. The King were all ears listening to our preposition earlier and said he'll think about it. He'll give his answer not later than tomorrow noon."

"Answer to what?" We all looked at Rowan. "I mean answer to what my Lord?"

"I thought you'd be well informed by now." I said while looking at the boys. I thought they have been able to tell everything to him by now. Yet I'm glad too that they didn't.

"Our mission here is to have all Kingdoms unite by agreeing to a treaty that states that every Kingdom will abide to one law. That they will protect the whole country and even the other kingdoms from the treat of an invasion whether from within the country or from outsiders." I said walking around then stopped looking at him.

"Peace talks have been conducted long before we were born yet no one agrees, for most are selfish only thinks for themselves and not for the country nor their kingdom. With the failure of the Peace talks, our only choice is to force them."
