To take it

Goran looked at Cyron then they turned towards Zion, who the king smiled at before patting him on his shoulder, in hopes that the young man would accept his offer and Zion sighed. 

'I have to play this cool, I know what I must do but I can't just accept it like that, I have to play my part flawlessly,' He thought then his eyes narrowed. 

"I am sorry, but can I have a little bit of time to think about it?" Zion asked ad the king smiled at him before exhaling deeply. 

"Fine, if that's what you want then go on, I heard you are quite strong yourself, I don't mind waiting a little but, there are things that I have to do as well," The king responded. 

"Things?" Zion asked and the king glanced back at him with a smirk on his face. 

"A target, the biggest one in the pond, well, you won't understand, not just yet, the time will come when a lot will begin to fall and everyone will see it," He responded. 

'The start, with hatred and driven passion, smart as well, I should get started soon as well, I will first start with the scare,' Zion thought with a smirk on his face and Cyron glanced at him. 

"What is it, Zion?" Cyron asked and Zion sighed. 

"It's nothing, I am just thinking about a few things, even I have to do things, ones that are important," He responded and the king looked at him then his brows furrowed. 

"I have to say, you are quite easy to talk to, despite having a slightly cold demeanor, well, if you need help with the things you have to do, I am here to help but at the prince you work for me," The king said and Cyron as well as Goran burst out laughing. 

"Damn, you are like a tyrant," Zion said and Cyron patted him on his shoulder and the king chuckled. 

"Well, take your time and think about it, tell me, do you have a place to stay?" He asked and Zion glanced at him. 

"There is no way you are this nice, you want me to work for you, for your own reasons, such a helping you carry out those important tasks for you, like the ones Cyron does?" Zion asked and the king smirked as he looked at him and Cyron nodded. 

"There is nothing that can be done about that, it's his personality, he has a terrible one," Cyron mumbled. 

The king glanced at him with his eyes narrowed and Cyron turned away immediately then the king exhaled deeply before wiping his eyes. 

"Well, I am going to call it a night, it's very late and I have meetings in the morning, those bloody bastards, also my answer to your previous question is yes, you seem like you have a lot of potential to go far," The king said. 

"I am not that strong, in fact, I am average right about now," Zion replied. 

"Right about now, huh? Sounds like you have the intention to get stronger, that's good enough, it's similar to how Cyron first started off, my jobs will help, for now, take the guest room inside of the castle, call it a night, refresh your brains and once you are done thinking, let it tell you to accept my job, Cyron he is all yours, good night fellas," He said. 

Before Zion could even say another word, the king took off and Cyron looked at Zion then chuckled and the young man exhaled deeply, knowing that he just let another headache into his life. 

"Well, I am sorry, he can be quite pushy at times, just let him be for now, take your time and think, well you are going to have to stay here so, let me show you to the guest room," Cyron said and Zion nodded. 

Cyron took Zion to the guest room and when he arrived, he saw how luxurious it was inside and he scoffed, for he had never slept in a place like that before and Cyron looked at him. 

"Never slept in a room like this before?" Goran asked and Cyron glanced at him. 

"No, I haven't, I am not one who have access to this kind of life," He responded. 

He went inside the room and placed his bag down and he saw that there was a trolley of things already in the room for him to eat and his eyes narrowed. 

'I know what you want and what you may achieve by doing for the sake of what I am going to do, I will give you a helping hand, this is only the start, everything is going as planned and I made my way here, now for pushing the button, Zion thought before exhaling deeply. 

"You are going to accept his offer, aren't you?" Goran asked after Cyron left and Zion looked at him. 

"Think I shouldn't?" He asked and Goran scoffed. 

"It's not that, it's just that, things can get pretty hectic when he is concerned, right now he is one of the youngest leaders and he has got quite the reputation, people..." Goran responded. 

"I heard about him a while back and what some people think of him, some adores him while some thinks of him as a tyrant, there is no helping it," He said and Goran smiled at him. 

"You are pretty open minded, despite knowing so much, most people would turn away, but he is not a bad person, so the choice is up to you, I am just giving you a heads up, so that you would make your decision carefully," He replied and Zion glanced at him. 

"Goran, there is no need to be afraid of certain people, even if they are scary," Zion said with a piercing look in his eyes and Goran flinched as he stared at him. 

'I was right from the very start, he is quite intimidating,' He thought. 

"Got it, good night," He replied then left. 

Zion sighed then ate his dinner and when he was finished, he freshened up then got dressed and before switching the lights off. 

He lifted the back of his shirt and his eyes narrowed as he stared at all of the cuts on his back, from the top to the bottom, which made it seem as though he had fought many battles. 

Zion sighed then switched off the lights and went to bed, calling it a night with his plan in mind, which would commence from the next day.
