The Prince And The Peasant

{34}

PRINCE JORDON POV

I cannot believe two years have passed since the rebellion started.in those two years the conflict have escalated quickly resulting in a lot of battles and carnage.

We have cornered Raphael and his man now in their command center and nothing will stop me from marching in there and killing all of them. Tonight we will camp in the highlands overlooking the valley where their camp is and when dawn come the last battle will begin.

The kingdom of Jerakia has already retreated it's forces inside their borders after their leader was killed in the last battle. Lord Khaim was the leader of the force that supported Raphael in his cause, he wanted to help Raphael so that Raphael will also help him when he tries to overthrow the loyal family of the Kingdom of Jerakia.

It has been two years since I last saw my Daniela, two long years that I have dreamed and longed for her. The only reminder that she was truly ever in my life is the rig on my finger and her garments that are still in my bed chambers.

We didn't sent anyone to go check on her because i cannot take the risk of someone finding her whereabouts and harming her in anyway. She is all I have in this world and I will do anything for her.

************
The sound of the war horn increase my determination, today we will fight and win this war. I urge my Mount to move faster as we zipped past the enemy slashing and stabbing with my sword. Me and Miguel and other 15 knights fight our way into the central command.

I will not let Raphael escape me today, I will kill him myself if I have to. We dismount behind the caravans and go on feet. There are still few knights here and by the look of things it looks like they are packing to leave. that coward want to run away and leave his man to battle and die , he only care about his own neck and will betray anyone.

We move quietly inside and sneak up on the packing knights taking them out silently, I guess they didn't expect us to get past their defense.we moved their bodies in a closet so that no one will notice them before we find Raphael and raise an alarm.

We turn a corner and was met with a horrific scene, in a cage like room there is about fifty women all of different ages. Some in their twenties and some girls that looks like they are not even fifteen. They are without garments and one can see they were violated, they were used to relieve that psycho and his goons stress.

I will not spare him, I am so angry I start shaking. Any man that treat a lady like that deserve a death penalty.we came across a statled knight and I beheaded him without mercy and continue with my quest for that bastard.

"We meet again cousin"

"Indeed Jordon, came to meet the same fate as your pathetic parents" the scumbag dare to call my parents pathetic, that's it attacked him, I have always been better at swordplay than him. Raphael was more deadly with a bow and arrow but since he doesn't have one now in no time I have him on his knees before me with wounds everywhere. I beheaded him at take his head with me outside in the Battlefield where the battle is still on going.

"BEHOLD KNIGHTS OF THE REBELLION! YOUR LEADER IS DEAD THIS WAR IS OVER, SURRENDER YOUR SELF AND WE WILL SHOW MERCY OR FIGHT TO YOUR DEATH" I announced showing them his head.

A few knights continued fighting but most of them put down their weapons. Some of this people where forced into fighting so they surrendered easily and pledge for mercy. It took 2 hours to round up any resistance and clear out the command center. Finally the war is over.

I only need one more month to straighten out the kingdom and squash out any reminder of the rebellion .

************************************"***"""""""*******
In the past two months I worked relentlessly to bring peace back into the kingdom and restored what was taken away from the community by Raphael forces. I also have to elect a new commander for the community police since Lord Galliber was corrupt and aided Raphael in his cause. He was killed in the Battle of isle.

In two weeks there will be a great feast to celebrate our victory. Larls and the duke will have to finish the preparations because I am going to sent Miguel to the kingdom of Dogakia. After  two years I cannot wait any longer, I want to see my Daniela. I miss her so much, I cannot wait to kiss and hold her in my arms after all this years.

I promised her that after all this war is over we are going to have a proper wedding and we are going to have one. I also cannot wait to have kids with her, maybe a handsome son or a beautiful princess. I pour myself a glass of wine and make my way to my study where I am having a meeting with Miguel, Larls, the duke and the council of elders.

"Good day your Majesty'"

"Afternoon everyone, how is the preparations going"

"I am done preparing the food for the feast, I just have to go talk to lady Seymour for the catering" Larls Abington informed me

"I have the transportation for the people to the palace covered and I also dealt with the security of the ball" Kane Fabiano member of the council of elders added.

"I am already done sending invitation to all the nobels and any other person of significant standing" the duke said.

"I have dealt with the accommodation of the nobels in the palace" Miguel finished.

"Fantastic job everyone, the preparations are on point. Miguel I want you to give any of your remaining task to the others because you will be going to the kingdom of Dogakia to fetch our queen"

"Really me? As you wish my king" Miguel said more than happy to be sent. Daniela always manage to bring out his childish side even when she is not around. Miguel was beaming and clapping his hands together making us all laugh. I guess he missed her so much like me after all they were best friends.
