❝Watch it!❞

❝You should just retire your position then!❞

❝That's it, I'm not going easy anymore.❞ That was the truth, the boy went down and swept the other's legs in one motion. He got back up and laughed at the other who was flat on his back.

❝Isn't that cheating?❞

❝Not my fault your slow prince,❞ Jisoo teased with his hand out for the other who accepted it. ❝Don't worry Cheol, you just need to practice.❞ He says with a pat on the back before going back inside from the blazing sun. Seungcheol huffed before wiping his sweat on his forehead. He has been practicing with the guards for a while now, with help from his personal guard, Jisoo, of course he learned quickly.

The guards usually train early in the morning, since a middle day spar with the blazing sun was brutal. The prince trudged back to his shared room to change into clean clothes.

...

Seungcheol walker through the castle hallways leading to his room. ❝Put that down! I already have bruises from that thing!❞ A faint voice was heard from the other side of the door. It sounded like a war was happening in there.

❝Stand still you tree! You need to be chopped in half, you can experience what my height feels like.❞

Seungcheol pushed the door open and felt a force on the other side and a loud groan. He peeked his head inside to see Mingyu on his knees and holding his forehead in pain while Prince Jihoon was also on his knees but instead of tears of pain, it was tears from laughing.❝Why is it always me...❞ Mingyu groaned.

❝Be thankful it wasn't my guitar this time.❞ Jihoon spat before walking to his bed and placing his beloved guitar under it. Mingyu was Jihoon's personal knight, how much these two fought over small things can't be described in numbers. The only reason Mingyu kept his head was because of Seungcheol or Jisoo. The taller boy walked over to the mirror to see how big his bruise would be

❝Guys, you should be more responsible. We need to set a good example for -❞

❝For who? The kingdom? Hyung, the whole kingdom probably doesn't even know father had us.❞ Jihoon said. Seungcheol sighed before going into the washroom to change. He changed and washed his face before going back out to see two more faces in the room.

❝Hyung, there you are. Let's go, father is calling us. I can tell it's important.❞ Prince Seungkwan said as he walked towards him with a towel. The older brother took it and wiped his face before tossing it onto his fixed bed. Seungkwan was also with Junhui, his guard. The boy was an unique guy, he learned Chinese when young and martial arts. He accompanied the younger prince when needed but also was head general. The youngest prince was a lovable boy. Took care of his older brothers and made them all smile when they were stressed. 

The five left the room and walked towards the big main room where the king awaits. They walked in silence as they approached the room. When the maids pushed the big doors open, they saw the king looming over a large table in the middle of the room. The table was set up to have a map of Ledi on it. 

❝Ah, my sons and their trusted guards! Thank you for coming here on such a short notice.❞ King Shen says with a grin. The boys bow in response before making their way towards the king. ❝This won't be a long talk. I will be having a nother meeting soon.❞

❝Of course, father.❞ Seungcheol says with a strong nod.

❝I will allow you guys to leave the castle walls for today. You must be cautious of your surroundings and on your feet. Your guards can come along too.Seungcheol and Jisoo are in charge. The guard is already informed and is waiting at the gate.❞ The king finished before walking away and out of the room. All of their mouths were hang opened in utter shock. Did their prayers finally come true? Without any second thoughts they ran towards the main gates.

❝Father trust us? How can he calmly say all those words?❞ Seungkwan asked the group of running boys who only shrugged. Jisoo waved at the group when they came into view. Now what? The six stood there. Seungcheol took the leadership and opened a smaller gate next to the larger one and stepped out. One by one, they each got out. They all equally were excited before sprinting off into the town around the castle. Laughter and smiles were never ending as the day went on.

❝Doesn't the air feel better here?❞ Mingyu ask the group who hummed and nodded. The were currently sitting down on a hill side. Sun almost setting as the cold winds were picking up. Leaves past the tall boy's head in a rush. Mingyu follows the direction and sees it enter a forest, the forest of FEAR. ❝Are all the tales true?❞

❝Tales? About what?❞ 

❝The forest...❞
