Athanasius looked at his army while sitting upon his horse. Three hundred soldiers on their horses stood in front of the prince.

"I want everyone to listen carefully. If we follow my plan, we will win. Remember, number is not always important. But, if you panic, you're done for." Athanasius narrowed his eyes at the army, making them flinch. "If anyone deserts, I'll kill you myself. We are going to protect Obelia and its people, and no one will stand in my way of me achieving that. Even you. If you do, you won't live to regret it! If those people get to the Obelia Empire, they will not only kill, but they will rape your women children. They will use them as slaves! They won't stop until the Empire is burned to the ground. I don't know about you, but I will not stand for that! So what do you say?!"

"We will crush them!" A soldier shouted.

"We won't let them do that to our people!" Another soldier shouted

Sounds of agreements filled the area.

Athanasius smirked and took out his sword and pointed at the approaching enemy army. Good, then today we march and kill everyone before they get to Obelia. But remember, the King's head is mine!

"Yes, your highness!

Is he really ten years old? Everyone thought.

.

Because of the ambush planned by Athanasius, the Sonera soldiers failed to react to the attack in time. The Obelian prince and his army stood in front of the enemy king's army.

"It's time." The air temperature dropped and Athanasius's cold blue eyes glowed with power while he focused on his magic. He felt a cold tingly feeling in his body. He extended his hand towards the army and then closed his hands in a fist. Large spikes of ice shot up from the ground, killing half the army. "Soldiers, kill them all!" Athanasius shouted.

The Obelian soldiers shouted and cut down the enemy once they were finished; they moved on to the others, all the while helping their comrades if they were stuck.

The last enemy unit fell to the ground with a thud from Athanasius's blade. Athanasius looked around and listened to the sounds of swords clashing. When he noticed a soldier in need of help, he sprinted to the soldier and cut the enemy in half as a result of a vicious strike. He looked to the other side and saw the enemy king fighting one of his soldiers. He narrowed his eyes. A long whip made of ice appeared in his hand. He aimed it at the King. The enemy King was startled as an ice whip wrapped around his neck. He turned his head and looked towards the person responsible. His eyes widened when he saw a ten-year-old blonde with blue jeweled eyes glaring at him coldly. It was apparent who the boy was after all those eyes were the sign of royalty in the Obelia Empire, and there is only one royal child in the Empire. The Emperor's son, the crown prince Athanasius de Alger Obelia.

Athanasius smirked and tightened the whip around the King's neck as he walked towards him. "Well, if it isn't King Alastair di Campbell of Sonera Kingdom."

The King choked, as the prince tightened the whip around his neck. "Athanasius de Alger Obelia crown prince of Obelia Empire. What is a ten-year-old crown prince doing on the battlefield? Was the Emperor scared to send his ten-year-old son to the battlefield to fight in his place?"

Athanasius looked coldly at the enemy king and placed his blade against the King's neck. "Stab your chest, break your neck, smash your head, poison, decapitation...choose your death. You have 5 seconds to decide."

The enemy King struggled furiously; however, he was unable to move because of Athanasius's spell.

"5..."
