25 Chapter 25: Kneel (1/2)
Caesar walked out of the city gates and looked up at the blue sky ”there is at least one more mole in the kingdom… but who?”
*whish*
Caesar's long hair and clothes fluttered in the wind as he gazed at the sky, Caesar sighed and shook his head… He walked down the steps and got in the carriage waiting for him.
”Head towards the training grounds” he ordered
”As you command my liege”
Caesar sat down in the carriage and smiled sinisterly ”training that brat is going to be wonderful, I just can't wait to see his face”
Muffled laughter soon escaped from Caesar's lips causing the carriage driver to get chills… ”just what is this crazy marshall thinking to laugh like that?” he thought to himself
After a little while, the carriage arrived at the training grounds and Caesar slowly stepped off, the knights that were training all stopped and saluted with utmost respect.
”We greet the Marshall!” They roared out
Caesar nodded his head in recognition and waved his hand ”continue training”
”Yes, sir!”
The sweaty and shirtless knights all continued training after his words. Caesar walked towards Edward that was currently supervising the training. ”How is it going so far, Edward”
Edward had a troubled expression and answered ”It's going great for most of them but some of the knights aren't talented for the sword but a different weapon entirely”
Caesar rubbed his chin in contemplation ”that is to be expected, not everyone can be a master of the sword… What weapons do they prefer using?”
”Some of them prefer the spear or a battle-axe”
Caesar furrowed his brows ”Although I use the spear and sword in battle I'm not actually skilled at them, I simply just let my battle instincts take control” he thought to himself
”Well, let them train in the individual weapons they want to train in, there is no reason to force them to use the sword,” Caesar thought for a second and said to Edward.
”Alright, ill do as you say”
Caesar nodded his head and walked over to the peaking head at the edge of the training grounds, right when Caesar shifted his eyes to the suspicious figure he could visibly see it flinch.
Caesar smiled slightly and walked over slowly… Once Caesar reached her he said in an apologetic tone ”unfortunately I have a date with the prince today so I won't be able to keep you company”
”A date?” the voice answered back irritated
”Well yes, he should be here any time now,” Caesar said mischievously while looking at the entrance to the training grounds.
*clak*
*clak*
White horses that were carrying an elegant carriage engraved with golden wings soon passed the training grounds entrance and stopped in the middle of the area.
All of the knights training stopped to gaze at the carriage.
”Is this another noble?”
”Oh boy, not another one!!” someone called out in dread
Soon a short blonde haired and small young man stepped out of the carriage, the knights around the training grounds all breathed a sigh of relief ”thank god, not even close to being as imposing as the marshall… looks like it's just a brat”
The Knights continued training without giving another glance to the prince. The prince wanted to make a grand entrance and gain all of the attention but instead, no one even batted an eye at him. The prince's facade quickly crumbled as he stepped towards one of the knights training and said in an irritated tone.
”Kneel before me you bug!” His words echoed across the entire training grounds making all of the knights stop training and look over.
The knight that the prince ordered to kneel was a 6ft”3 tall and very muscular man that sported a long black beard… his name was George.
George pointed to himself and asked in a bewildered tone ”are you talking to me?”
”Yes, I'm talking to you!! I am the crown prince of this country, you are merely nothing but a commoner that my family decided to raise… I said kneel, so KNEEL!” The prince said in an exasperated tone
George scratched the back of his head embarrassed ”I'm afraid I can't do that prince, the marshall told me to never kneel before those that order it, only those that deserve it”
”H-how dare you refute the words of the crown prince!?!? I will have your entire family hung”
Caesar squinted his eyes and walked over towards the unaware prince and put his hand on the back of his head and forced him down.
”Crash”
Caesar pummeled the crown prince's face to the ground and started stepping on it… ”disrespecting one of my men is disrespecting me you fuc*ing brat… Threatening one of my men's family is threatening my family”
”Asdnufuianidn” The price spoke nonsense while getting his face ground against the floor.
Caesar took his foot off the princes head and pulled him up by the hair… The prince had dirt on his face and looked like he lost a few teeth.
”Y-y-you bastard, I will kill you… I am the prince of this country!!” the prince said in a fearful tone.
Caesar looked to George and said ”George, spar against the prince… without holding back of course”
George looked at Caesar dumbfounded ”you want me to spar against the prince?”
”Yes” Caesar answered back straightforwardly
George nodded his head absentmindedly and grabbed a wooden sword and got into attack position, Caesar threw a wooden sword to the crown prince.
”BEGIN” Caesar roared out
Right after the words entered into George's ears he immediately charged towards the crown prince…
”W-wait, y-you can't injure the c-crown prince… it's treas-”
Before he could finish his sentence George already struck the prince in his abdomen and caused him to fall on the ground.
”BLEH” The crown prince puked up his breakfast.
George looked towards Caesar with a confused look… However, Caesar just looked on coldly.
