The guard Prince

"That girl will be the death of me" Kin said as he walked the hall ways. He has been working as Jamila's personal guard for a while now and he could barely stop himself from strangling the girl. She was rude, spoiled and very insensitive. Her father had spoiled her too much.

"I'm probably going to kill her someday and run away." Kin thought

"You know she was right though, the former you was both ugly and distasteful" Ashell said in his head.

"Not you too, I admit I wasn't the prettiest boy, but can you really say I was that bad."

"Yes you were" Ashell teased.

As they were both conversing someone called on Kin.

Ramon, Rashid's right hand man called him.

"Lord Rashid has summoned you" he said.

"Well I was on my way to call" Lady Jamila's friends..." Kin said

"Don't worry, I'll order someone else to do that and take over from you pending the time you'll be away."

"Away? I'm I going somewhere?" Kin asked

"Let's go" Ramon said ignoring Kin's questions.

*******

In Jamila's room, she was chatting with her two friends who happened to had also brought two others with them.

"So you guys went to Fitan's birthday party" Jamila asked her friends

"Yes we did and it was fun, I was also able to get a date with one of his gorgeous friends". Aziza her first friend said

"Really?" Jamila asked as she looked at her friend with envy. They were free to go to parties while she was stuck here.

"Yes" Gina her other friend replied in confirmation

"His name is Dauda and he's just sixteen"

Aziza added

"Oh my God!!" the girls said and giggled.

"So are you girls from around Bintan?" Jamila asked the girls they brought.

"Oh no, I'm originally from a village close to Hadia, we met at Fitan's birthday party since then we've been hanging out. One of the girls" Named Rafa replied.

"Where are you from" Daisy, Jamila asked the other girl.

"I'm from home" Daisy replied nervously.

"Home?" Jamila asked

"Where is home?" She asked again

"Oh home in Hadia" Daisy replied

"Isn't she cute" Aziza Said looking at the child

"Cute and weird" Jamila replied.

"Did you also enjoy Finta's party?" Jamila asked Daisy.

"Yes she replied, there were lots of food" All the girls looked at her and burst into laughter..

Daisy also smiled awkwardly and she began to get involved with the conversation, although she would occasionally space out.

(A/N Kin would mostly be called Ashin for a while so bear with me)

Ever since Kin had become a guard under the name of Ashin in Rashid's house hold, Rashid had been watching the boy's movements. Although he didn't really want to entrust him with his precious daughter, especially when he didn't really trust him, he had no choice since Jamila had become interested in the boy with the weird hair color. Ashin, as they all called him was quite diligent in guarding Jamila and she preferred him since he was around her age. After few months, Rashid had not seen any signs of Ashin being a spy which made him more riled with the boy. He had expected they boy to be someone sent to spy on him so he could use him to his own advantage. The fact that Ashin was just another kid from the slum who happened to know his way around the sword made Rashid uninterested. There's already tons of his kind walking around the streets.

Since there was nothing really interesting about Ashin, Rashid decided to use him anyways. He summoned Ashin and when he arrived he gave him a mission.

"I want you to go to Golden comfort Inns, close to the southern Gate and meet someone for me" Rashid said after Ashin got to his private quarters,

"Ok, Who I'm I meeting? Ashin asked

"His Name is Fati, he's an old friend, when you get to the Inn just say this to someone and he'll direct you to Fati, 'Lord Rashid sent me..'"

Ashin looked at Rashid and thought "how's that a secret code..."

"Also don't wear your uniform and make sure you are not followed. Ok?"

This was Ashin's first real mission and he wasn't particularly excited. He just took what Rashid said and headed out.

After Ashin had left Rashid's office, he heard the voice in his head.

"You know, you should be planning on how you are going to get your Kingdom back, or are you planning on being Jamila's guard forever?" Ashell probed

"Of course not Ashin replied, but for now I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing, you don't know what is really going on but, you see things have always been bad since my Father had fallen Ill. His illness had undermined the throne and me being who I was, didn't help either. There had been various atrocities, from nobels that had gone unchecked because no one was watching. Do you think, my uncle would have just led a rebellion and none of the Nobles would know about it? He always had support, this shows that either my father or I was doomed from the start. We always had a target on our backs but it only grew worse due to my stupidity and my father's illness. I've thinking about how to get everything back but then I realized something, What I need now is not running to take my Kingdom back, I don't want what Ken left behind, I'm going to dismantle everything and start things anew". Ashin said.

A"nd how do you plan on doing that?",

"I don't know yet, but I know everything will fall in place, and an opportunity will present itself."

"I still think you should talk to Rashid, he's the only one who has not chosen a side in all this rebellion." Ashell suggested

"Yes, that true, but I'm currently powerless, which means, he can ride me like a horse if he knows I'm the prince, he'll use me and grab all the power for himself, taking us back to square one.

We'll just take things slow, let's go on this mission, maybe we'll have something that can help us begin to grow my power".

After the dialogue, Ashin left the Mansion and took a carriage to the central part of Bintan, after which he took various other transportation means before he arrived at his destination.
