The Punished And The Privileged

Chapter Three- false hope

It was a long agonising ride to our usual hunting spot what made it even worse was the people with me, pretty much everyone i hated and despised was joining me and anyone i didn't hate hated me.

I breezed through the majority of training fuelled by me wanting to meet my family. I excelled in archery and being unfindable aswell as, much too my own disgust, that I was great at hunting people and animals I hated having to do it but its all i could do.

As we near the lake that we shall set up beside hear running and the breath of a man sounding around thirty he runs straight out of the woods and runs straight into our group, stops dead and just stares, he's wearing relatively new clothing and doesn't looked fazed till he saw who he ran into and, by the look on his face instanly regrets it "grab him" i yell as three boys around seventeen start binding him up with rope "looks as if our hunting trip has to be cut short" everyone groans but i could not be happier. "please let me go, i did nothing wrong" he yells as they throw him onto my horse his legs and arms tied up, the look on his face when he was tossed next to me was made of utter fear.

When we rode through the kingdoms gates all the guards look annoyed, looks like we interrupt their card game, again but they should've been working.

As the masters sit him down for questioning i was informed that must stay to view how this thing works.

"Where are you from? " asked master malakai, his voice deep, his father apparently died when he was ten according to the rumours he was assassinatied.

Master malakai was extremely popular but also feared, alot of women mostly younger girls, all swooned for him but he had yet too show anyone but his closest colleges.

"the kingdom of salakis" he answered his entire body tense with fear. "who sent you?" asked master echo, staring h straight in the face "you seem to have been in a hurry" he added, raising his eyebrow in a questionibg manner. "their majesties kayla and jeredith" he said. All the masters immediately froze. "why did they send you?" added master malakai, he seemed extremely curios now.

"they wanted me to send you a message, they want you to meet with them as soon as possible, apparently another kingdom is trying to take their throne"he answered seeming honest. "kaydence you are now required to leave" said master ricard seeming urget so i got up and bowed to them all and walked out of the hall.

As i walked through the garden i noted the smallest of changes, the roses starting to wither, the air smelling less fresh and more pungent, i sat down on one of the benches under a large tree stretching my legs out and looking around, scouting for signs of other people, when i was positive i was alone i let my hood down, my black braid falling down to the middle of my ribs, it felt so good to be able to let my face breath in the oxygen. After a few minutes i felt eyes on my as i shot my head up to find my master staning on the castle steps, looking straight at me, i quickly but smoothly returned my hair too its usual place, resting on my spine, then put my hood back on as he walked towards me.

"we're leaving in three days to go and help your parents to keep their thrones"he said still standing in front of me. I sat up straight wgen i heard the news.

I can go hone, meet my family, have a normal life.

"but......... "he added and i knew what he was going to say.
