Family Reunion

As we walked quietly towards the throne room, I kept thinking of everything that Helios had said. I had a strange feeling that something was off about him but couldn't tell what it was.

I kept walking lost in thought, Sylvia screamed behind me; "Young master, please present your self in a befitting manner as a prince of this kingdom. His Magesty will tolerate nothing but complete composure when addressing him". I slowly turned my head and Sylvia was giving off a really cold death stare. "I'm sorry, I was lost in thought, it won't happen again". "I hope not, today is your special day and you should act in a dignified manner least you bring shame on the royal family. And stand straight a prince should not be seen slouching". This was the first time I had seen Sylvia so angry in all my years in the castle, I never want to see that side of her ever again. It's probably because if I mess up today she would be held accountable for my incompetence and be immediately executed. Now that I think about it like that, it is sounds terrible,any normal person would be angry.

I looked at Sylvia for a few seconds, then she immediately smiled and said;"No need to worry Young master as long as you follow my advice we won't have any problems. Now make haste the king should not be kept waiting". I looked at Sylvia as she walked towards the throne room and turned gently and asked "aren't you coming Young master?''. I realized that people were still the same wether it was in this life or my formal life people only cared about themselves on the end.

"Presenting, Prince Johan Margrave II, fifth Prince of the Margrave Kingdom to His Royal Majesty, The Twenty -fourth ruler and King of Conquest, King Edward Memphis Margrave VI. I immediately got on one knee and greeted my father. Then as if he had just realized I had been there for a while, told me to stand up. "So my dear boy, do you know why I called you hear" he looked me directly in the eye as if trying to read my mind searching for the answer. "I assume it is because you wish to enlighten me what I am to do during the ceremony". I replied, trying to be as formal as I possibly could since I was still trying to get the hang of talking like this.

"Well that is only a part of it. A Julys you may know, your brothers will be making their arrival at the palace from the ruins of Alfheim as they have been at war with the dark elves. I would like them to start training you as you do not have any experience using a sword or magic so I hope you treat them well". "Thank you, for the honour your highness" Sylvia said as she bowed. "Well I will see you at the ceremony, I think it's about time I took my leave. I have some matters I need to attend to in the council of the West. I will return in three days time so I will leave the kingdom in the hands of your older brother Cedric, make sure to follow his advice, and before I forget do not disappoint me, I have great expectations of you".

Between what happened with Helios and this I was just completely confused by the present situation that I just muttered some strange language. I guess it was too much for my seven year old mind to deal with. A few hours later, we left for the Cathedral, the ceremony was just about to start, and the church was completely packed with people when the giant doors of the Cathedral flung open; "I hope we're not late"

"I told you we can't make a detour to the tavern, but you just had to drag everyone there because of a stupid drink".

"I said I was sorry, and weren't you flirting with that pretty waitress the whole time we were there".

"Whatever, Dad's gonna be pissed when he finds out, and he left you of all people in charge".

At this moment, all eye's were on the men standing at the door arguing and walking towards me, I had a pretty rough idea of who they were.

"So this is him right, he looks nothing like us". The eldest sons of the Margrave Kingdom, Harry Constantine Margrave, Jacob Constantine Margrave and Dante Constantine Margrave. They were triplets, and I heard stories about them that they were called The Three Calamities, I thought it was a really lame name but I'll have to see how good they were.

The eldest Harry, had short white hair, like the first Queen, blue eyes and was insanely tall, he wore a pair of tiny skull earrings and a ring on his pinky finger that looked like an artifact from a lost civilization, and a long scar that ran from his lower lip to his neck and had hands that could easily crush my skull.

The next was Jacob who had little to no precense next to Harry, he was a little shorter than Harry and almost had the same feature as him, the only difference was that he had longer hair than Harry and his left eye was as white as snow, and a faint scar ran along it. At this point it just felt they all had scars or missing body parts.

And lastly Dante the youngest of the triplets. He looked pretty normal considering the other two looked like mercinaries. Dante was about 6ft tall, his hair was more of an ocean blue than white like his brothers and had brown eyes, he held a long sword that had an ominous aura surrounding it, he tied his hair in a top knot and his armour looked like it was taken from the body of a corpse. And he was extremely handsome, his tall and muscular figure made him look like a model than a warrior.

"Sorry for the intrusion, Harry said grabbing me a placing me on his shoulder, but we'll have to borrow him for a while if that's alright with you. All right men move out".

I didn't bother resisting and just went along with it while the priest looked like he had his soul sucked by a pitch. Harry walked outside and Jacob and Dante followed him from behind." We'll be having a little brother bonding session, we'll bring him back later if that's alright with you". And without allowing the priest to respond rode off with me, and that was how my initiation ceremony ended before it even began.
