Tales Of Zeokkesia

Festival Of Freights

"Sir Roman! Sir Roman!"
I heard someone faintly call to me. Once I woke up I was surprised to see my head guard Kenta hovering over me.
"Your father is waiting for you at the Zeokkesia Dome, Please get ready."
The Zeokkesia dome is the arena where the Zeokkesia Festival is held. It's a competition to decide which kingdom is the strongest. Siren Scale kingdom has won eight years in a row and my father is determined to keep it that way. I got up and walked over to my closet once Kenta had left the room, Quickly changing into my Royal Suit and Crown.
"Let's be on our way." I said opening the door, looking at Kenta.
When we arrived I jumped out of the car and ran to the Royal Seating area designated for Siren Scale as I took a seat next to my father.
"Glad to see your awake my boy!" My father smiled at me, ruffling my hair. He knows I hate when he does that but he decides to do it anyway.
"The festival is starting...we should pay attention" I tried to get him to stop nagging me. The first match was Pheonix Port's Mason Coldwell up against Siren Scale's Greg Fremor. Greg is a good friend of my father's, He also is the caretaker of my childhood best friend Connor. His Mother and Father passed away when he was three but Greg looks out for him.
"And Siren Scale is victorious!!" I heard the announcer shout while the crowd cheered.
My father started to cheer as well, I looked over at him worried if he was drunk or just hyper.
A man jumped down from the audience and into the middle of the arena "I am Judal Fearbury from Bright Port and I think that Siren Scale is cheating their way through these tournaments!!" Me and My father stood up out of our seats "What!?"
"There is no way they can Win 8 years in a row! They've been kidnapping the strongest people from each kingdom and brainwashing them so that they fight for Siren Scale each year!!"
My father punched the glass around us "What proof do you have of this"
"Your Anger is proof enough!" He shouted at my father.
I busted out laughing, the entire audience including the royal families from each kingdom were staring at me.
"The fact that you think that's possible proves that your a complete idiot!" I continued to laugh.
The other royal families started to shout "You cheaters!" Me and my father stared at them all "You believe a messenger!?"
"They messenger isn't hiding anything unlike you!" They shouted back at us.
The audience and the royal families started to riot and get their weapons. This was the declaration of war. While my father grabbed my hand and ran off with me I looked back at Judal, I could see the smirk on his face.
When we arrived back at Siren Scale my father had a talk with me. "Roman, People are dieing out there!" My father shouted
"I know but-" He stopped me
"You are not aloud to leave the kingdom Unti-" I stopped him this time.
"We have to take action! If we take out Judal this stupid thing will be over!!!!!!" I said before seeing the anger in my father's face.
"Your to young to understand...We're going you wait until this is all Worked out and then-" I began to shout before he could finish.
"You coward!! If your not going to do anything then I will!!!!"
"Roman...you are not leaving this kingdom until this is all resolved!" He scolded me before I ran to my room.
I took out my phone and called Connor.
"Roman?" Connor said to me.
"Connor...I'm running away is 6 days." I sighed.
"What!? Why!????? Roman if what the guy said is true than its okay, I know you didn-" I stopped him there.
"I'm going to end the war Connor...I'm Judal is taken down it will all be over!"
"I want to come with you!" Connor shouted through the phone.
"Connor...you have no training in combat." I laughed a bit.
"I'll get some! Please don't go alone!!!"
His voice sounded a bit shaky, I might have been to harsh. "Okay...You still only have six days..." I said hanging up the phone.
"Father...Why are you so difficult?" I said to said to myself and layed back on my bed.
