Chapter 2

Two hours has passed and Dad hasn't left the discussion room. I hope the messenger didn't hurt Dad. Kiara said to Josh.

Stop, the King is a brave soldier and a King to which means no one can hurt him not even a common messenger.

But...no but's Kiara, just keep quiet.

(The messenger walked out of the discussion room.)

Let's go in. Kiara said

No let's wait.. Josh said holding Kiara's hand.

Why? Kiara asked

It is because you weren't called, so wait.

Another hour passed the palace was worried, the whole soldiers were in a quiet mood, and the maids were praying and hoping for good news. Finally, the suspense was broken ..

Guards! King Ramon called in a deep voice. Call Queen Alice

"This has really been a long time that the King called the Queen by her name, I just hope that there is nothing more to it" Kiara said standing outside the door with Josh.

Something isn't right, Josh said.

Let's go, Kiara said walking towards the discussion room.

Dad who was the messenger? Kiara boldly asked.

Josh and Kiara, I will talk to you when I see fit please leave for now.

But Dad....

Just leave, King Ramon screamed!

An hour had gone, Kiara said walking into Josh's room.

I have been waiting for you.... Josh said standing in front of the window.

Wait, you knew I was coming.

Yes, well. Kiara I saw the way you left after Dad screamed and I knew you would come rushing here to ask who is the messenger?

Is he blackmailing dad? And.....

OK, you are now some mind reader and you know my thoughts and my questions, but the question still remains who...

Who is the messenger that dares to sadden the King? Kiara asked

What a great view. Josh said.

Kiara walks toward the window. This is a great kindgom and the King loves this with everything he has, then a messenger comes and everything just changed...

A war!!!

Josh said in a low tone.

Which King would dare to do that, Kiara said.

A deadly King, Josh said.

But who? Kiara's curiousity enraged

OH! Lord. Kiara get my telescope..

Why?

Kiara just get what I asked for,

Josh said .

(Kiara rushes to the drawer and searches for it)

"Josh looked at the view from his window with the telescope". Oh lord!.

what... Kiara collected it and looked. We are being attacked, Josh fearfully said

***The discussion room**

May you live long your highness. A guard ran into the discussion room breathing heavily with bruises.

What's the matter?

Your Highness, we have been attacked and 21 of our soldiers have lost their lives.

Where and how? the Queen asked.

My Queen we were practicing sword art in the field close to the market when we heard screams from the market. We all went and we saw that people were been attacked, in a haste to save the people, some soldiers lost their lives in the fight but I managed to escape.

Assemble the soldiers , we need to tackle this situation right now, the King said.

Your Highness, the attackers are already gone, they flee immediately killing the soldiers.

This is really not good for our kingdom, the King told his wife.

**In Josh's room ***

Who dare attack my kingdom, I will have to show them that I am a brave lion whose tail shouldn't be touched. Josh said with anger.

( Kiara goes and get a sword under Josh's bed)

Here, take this Josh

Kiara, how do you know about the hidden sword in my room??

Well the same way you knew my questions, and also the sword you put behind the painting is not sharp and it's very light.

But...

No questions right now, Josh.

You have to go and protect your kingdom, Kiara said while walking out of the room.

Yes, I will and I must make myself ready for anything that might come my way, after all, I am the future King of this kingdom.

And I can't let my people and my kingdom down.

Whoever that wants to attack my kingdom must face my wrath,

Josh said aloud to himself .
