The Good King

'Asher's Secret'

''So what are they learning ?''

The dark haired knight asked while walking by Asher's side towards the palace's gates.

''Just the basics , we will be responsible for their training soon enough'' 

The red haired replied.

''I wish Elmer joins this year''

He said.

''He is a prince''

Were Asher's last words before he walked out of the palace leaving Ezra behind.

He walked alone through the empty royal city , before he made it to his small house that has such a beautiful garden right by the entrance , he saw a light right by the upstairs room's window then walked in.

Once he did someone rushed down stairs and jumped into his arms.

She was a little girl with a silver tall hair which was really unusual.

Asher hugged her back tight saying,

''I am sorry for being late Aylin''

She was very happy to see him.

But even though she hugged him she was still mad , lately he has been really busy and rarely gets to come back home.

''You keep lying to me''

Aylin shouted through her adorable angry face.

Asher the stoned knight smiled brightly next to his little girl as he held her small hand.

''I am sorry again''

He said as if he was begging for the child's forgiveness and she was going to let it slide no matter what , that is what you could tell just by looking into their eyes , they were each other's family , and they meant the world to each other.

He messed her hair a little as he patted her.

''Well I am here now , do you want a bedtime story ?''

He said as he started heading upstairs still holding Aylin's hand.

''I am not a child anymore , I am seventeen already''

She complained but still followed him up as he replied,

''Time is sure flying''.

''I am sorry , are you alright ?''

Elmer kneeled down to give her a hand after she fell and she gladly grabbed it as she got up and smiled bowing her head.

''Thank you my prince''

He was still holding that hand looking into those hazel eyes as if time stopped and a sweet symphony was played driving them into another world where only the two of them exist.

After enough time of exchanging those stares he finally woke up from his daydreaming and let go of her hand immediately.

''Alright then good night''

Elmer walked away once he said that as she watched him for a while.

She blushed all the way back to her small dark room to play another chess round by herself.

It was a marvelous starry night.

Even the darkness coming from the forest behind the palace's great walls was beaten by the moonlight.

His eyes shined as he looked into the sky , Ezra had a lot in mind that he could not sleep so he took over the night watch since the other knights would never take it seriously and so no one was out there but him.
