Caught red handed

It had been six months since Bandar started learning things in secret with the help of Malik the ruler. It was December and almost the end of the year .

At the end of each year there would be a fight among the people to test each other's skills. The winner would get an iron sword that was made by different rulers centuries ago. There were atleast a dozen left and this year the winner would get the current ruler's sword.

Bandar never participated, but this year was different. He was going to participate in that fight and try to win that sword. He kept it hidden so no one would make fun of him.

One night when Bandar was practicing , someone woke up and saw everything. The person quickly woke everyone up quietly and they all looked at Bandar hiding in a bush.

But what caught everyone's eye was Malik,their ruler ,who had been sitting there all this time on a rock looking at a man like Bandar was shocking. One of the people who was very angry accidentally spoke very loudly, " Why is thou ruler , with a man like him?" Came a very loud noise from the bushes .

Malik and Bandar heard that very clearly and knew someone was watching them. They both froze , staring at each other in fear. When they finally calmed down Bandar said "I think that's enough for today. There's someone watching us . "

"No." Said Malik. Bandar became puzzled . There was a moment of silence when atlast The ruler spoke " Let's fight whoever that is, it will improve your skills if you fight with an actual person." Bandar replied by nodding and they both went in search of that person.
