The Crown Prince and His Love

Chapter 9 |Vetri Namade!|

Victory is ours!

"HAR HAR MAHADEVA," The crowd cheered as their beloved elephant, Lakshmi banged his head on the castle's stone wall. The wall developed cracks at each and every hit.

"VETRI VEL!" Adithan shouted from the top of the elephant. Adithan was filled with adrenaline, with the amount of adrenaline coursing through his body one could fill an entire river.

"VEERA VEL!"

With a few more hits and the wall will dissipate into pieces. Lakshmi shook her head and ran head-first into the wall.

Creek. 

Creek. 

Creek.

Before long the archers on the other side realized what was going on. But they were perplexed about how the Chozha army scaled those tall mountains in a short amount of time. That too without dying.

They took their positions on the towers and aimed their bows at Lakshmi and Karikalan.

"FIRE!" The chief of the archery commanded them to shoot, the arrows were launched at rocket speed. They whizzed past Karikalan just missing him by a few meters.

"Woah," Karikalan ducked as one flew over his head.

The chozhan soldiers got on their knees and aimed at the watch towers, with one slight gesture from Adithan they let go of their arrows. Each one of those stray arrows found its home, deep down in the enemy soldier's chests.

"Don't stop until each one of them is down!" Adithan shouted from atop Lakshmi.

The arrows which came in return bounced off Lakshmi like they were pebbles. Adithan patted Lakshmi's head.

Lakshmi lifted her trunks and trumpeted loudly. Getting annoyed by the arrows. "Just one more hit girl," Adithan whispered into her ears.

"FIRE!" Adithan shouted. Just like the arrows, Lakshmi darted toward the wall. This time the wall shattered into dust. The whole wall came crumbling down.

The soldiers roared as they rushed past Lakshmi and invaded the palace.

The small infantry soldiers came rushing toward the invaders.

Adithan jumped down Lakshmi and patted her on her trunks. "Good girl," He smiled, Lakshmi trumpeted in return. "Go have fun!" Adithan patted her trunks and took off towards the Senatipathi.

"Stay close," The Senatipathi warned Adithan. He nodded and drew out his sword.

Then it was chaos. Swords clashed with swords, arrows lunged into the enemy's chests, and Lakshmi stomped past the infantry like they were bugs.

Whenever someone approached Adithan. The senatipathi jumped in and slashed their heads off.

"C'mon, I know how to protect myself!" Adithan whined after the third time.

"Your grandfather's orders," the Senatipathi said as he planted his sword into his fifth victim.

"Did my grandfather also tell you to not let me fight in a freaking war?" Adithan asked sarcastically.

"Pretty much," the Senatipathi shrugged as he found his next victim.

Adithan hands itched for a kill and he grew restless. "Did he also tell you to stay with me at all times?" Adithan asked.

"Yes? Why?" The Senatipathi asked.

"Because you're going to be punished for not following his command," Adithan smirked.
