King&Knight

VI

Sky woke up with a blank mind as he looked towards the ceiling. He could feel Rain snuggling to him yet his mind couldn’t relate where he was, finally after a couple of minutes he remembered that they were at the castle.

Sky pushes Rain away before hitting his shoulder angrily, “Because of you, my ancestral line is going to end…. Wait, anyway it was going to end….”

Sky stares at Rain before hitting him again and smiles in satisfaction, “I will still blame you for everything that’s going wrong in my life…”

He gets out of bed, wondering where's the washroom while Rain was still in deep sleep unaware of abuse.

The reason Sky was here, pretending to be a contestant, was due to Rain’s stupid idea of having Sky join them so that it could be easier for them to plan how to get out of this situation.

Last contestant somehow didn’t appear on time so Shan suggested taking advantage of it and letting Sky enter the competition under a fake identity.

An hour later, both along with others gathered for breakfast while Rain complained, “Sky…My shoulder hurts…”

Sky looked towards him while smirking as he knew Rain couldn’t see it through the veil and whispered, “Maybe you slept in the wrong posture, I will give you a massage later…”

“My Sky is so nice…” Rain spoke emotionally while hugging Sky when guard entered the room and announced

“Second phase of selection begins now. Today only 10 people will survive so be careful with your actions. Our prince and General would spend half an hour with each person to accompany them for breakfast…”

Everyone started fighting among themselves, “I will go first!!”

“No! I will go first!” Another person shouted

Rain and Nalin were chill as they both weren’t interested but suddenly Sky pulled Rain’s hand eagerly, “Huh? What is it?” Rain asked in confusion

Sky leaned closer to Rain and spoke in a desperate voice, “Let’s go first!”

“Why? P’Shan said to be low-key, if we go first we will attract unwanted attention..” Rain repeated what Shan instructed them.

“But if we are low-key, food will be cold and finished! I want to eat, I heard Royal chefs make the best food..” Sky spoke with sparkling eyes as he thought about different cuisines. Even Nalin heard Sky and nodded in agreement.

“Oh…. You’re right!” Rain quickly raised his hand too, “We want to go first!! Breakfast will become cold if we go late!”

Sky quickly stomped Rain’s foot in anger for letting everyone know about their plan and cursed the younger man.

“Ouch! What did I do now?!” Rain looks at Sky in frustration

Everyone started to fight even more fiercely after realising that Rain was right and. Nalin looked at Rain in disappointment, “Why did you say loudly?! Now we won’t get chosen at any cost!”

“…. sorry, how about whoever among us 3 get selected first to bring food for others?” Rain suggested weekly

“Shut up now..” Sky whispered in annoyance

Seeing everyone fighting, the guard announced again, “Last to go would be able to spend more time as compared to the first one. So choose between prince and food!”

“Food!” Rain shouted and Sky and Nalin raised their hands along with Rain. Others became quiet and took a step back.

The guard looks around and sighs before picking Nalin and Sky. Rain looks at them with a serious face and says, “You want me to get a container? Pack as much as you can…”
