Once upon a time... There was a Crown Prince.

Many bad people were trying to kill the Crown Prince, so the Crown Prince decided to get himself a personal Royal Guard.

He wrote a letter inviting the most skilled swordsmen to come to the palace and fight there way for the Royal Guard's position.

Men from different tribes and expertise came and fought. Showing off their strengths to the Crown Prince, proving they are fit for the position. But as time progress, another wins and another loses.

Somehow, someone was able to keep their place as winner in the fights. It caught the Crown Prince's attention. A contender who defeated many swordsmen and is now having his 10th round in the fight.

He rooted for the last fight, and as anticipated, that strong contender won.

The battle has finally ended and the Crown Prince announced the winner of the Royal Guard's position.

Although this new recruited Royal Guard was very skilled at swords, he learned that his abilities can never compete those of the Crown Prince.

So everyday, the Crown Prince would invite the Royal Guard for a duel, as a form of training for the both of them.

They do it first thing in the morning, when the soft blue sky was still waking, and they also do it late at night, stars appearing in the dark sky.

Until it became a routine.

The Crown Prince and the Royal Guard become closer and closer, until they treat each other as best friends.

They would hunt in the woods for dears and boars, and joke around secretly at the old grumpy eunuchs in the court.

The power of the Royal Guard and his was enough to keep the Crown Prince untouchable.

But One day a war broke out. Rebels of the Country gathered to destroy the Kingdom. Men with flags and weapons were marching through the forest going their way to the Palace.

But the Crown Prince was already informed of the in coming invasion and already waited for them in the borders, along with his soldiers and his friend, the Royal Guard.

As soon as the rebels have reached the borders, the two groups clashed.

The Crown Prince swayed his sword hard till his arms were tired, but still he fought with all his blood, sweat and tears. As the Crown Prince, he has to win this battle for his Kingdom and his people.

But where was his Royal Guard? He was no where to be found.

The Crown Prince was losing his soldiers, and his friend disappeared. How would things turn out for the Prince?

He was now surrounded by rebels, and no one can protect him at that moment. When one of his soldiers did, they get slayn.

He was only one, and there were many of them. He raised his sword and clenched on to the handle, ready to repel the upcoming attack when suddenly someone's sword did.

The Royal Guard appeared in front of him, pointing his sword at the enemy. There were slashes all over his body.

"I apologized for coming late, your Highness." Said the Royal Guard and the Crown Prince smirked.
