Chapter 2 : The Head Magician Ken Shiro.

Chapter 2: The Head Magician Ken Shiro.

After the meeting, Gandalf was walking through the hallway inside the castle. It was a long hallway. While walking he muttered to himself.

"That boy may become the worst enemy the kingdom has ever faced."

While walking he passed through a room. That room belonged to Arthur.

Arthur was sleeping soundly in his room in a crib.

Gandalf saw Arthur sleeping. He went closer to the crib.

He looked at Arthur's sleeping face and muttered, "Look at him sleeping so peacefully while keeping us awake in terror."

He frowned his brows, "Heck with him living till the age of 10. I shall kill him right here."

He looked around the room left and right. He saw chopped up apples in a small table. The apples were chopped in a bunny shape. There was also a knife besides the apples. He went and grabbed the knife. He came back and stood in front of Arthur. He then pointed the sharp knife at him.

"Die!"

He then rushed the knife at Arthur's belly.

*Clang*

Suddenly, a sword blocked the knife from stabbing Arthur. Gandalf looked at the handle of sword. He saw a man with long white hairs. Appears to be 20 years old. He had silver eye colour. He was so handsome that every woman on the kingdom may fall for him.

The unknown man had an angry expression.

"Ken Shiro!!!" shouted Gandalf.

Ken Shiro, he is the head magician in the kingdom. The current strongest magician.

"How dare you try to stop me! Do you not know who I am?"

Hearing the shouting of Gandalf, Arthur woke up and started crying.

"Wah wah!"

In reply, "Keep your voice down Gandalf. You are only just the prime minister."

"Just you say?" said Gandalf in an angry voice.

He jumped back.

He then jumped at Ken while shouting, "You stupid brat! How dare you disrespect me!"

But Ken easily blocked the knife rushing at his heart.

Gandalf looked at Ken's face.

He still had an angry expression.

Ken then opened his mouth.

"You know. I used to think you are an intelligent person. But I may now say you are the stupidest person."

Ken also said, "You know that you don't deserve any respect. I'm the head of the magicians and the one who is in charge of protecting the 2nd prince."

Saying that Ken pushed Gandalf away with his sword.

"Ugh!"

Gandalf fell on the ground.

Suddenly many footsteps surrounded Gandalf. The magicians and royal knights surrounded Gandalf with spears and magic spells on his throat.

Ken then arrested Gandalf.

Arthur was still crying. Suddenly a maid came and calmed Arthur down. Her name is Clara Sisko. She had black long braided hair. Her eyes were green.

She carried Arthur and calmed him by singing a song.

Soon Arthur calmed down and laughed while throwing his hands.

Gandalf was taken to the courthouse. The king was present there.

Gandalf was forced to stand on his knees.

The king looked at Gandalf with disappointment. He had a shadow over his face.

"My. My majesty." stuttered Gandalf.

"Shut!" said the King.

Gandalf shut up.

The king then said, "I'm disappointed in you Gandalf. To think you would disobey my command. I lost my hope in you."

"But my lord. Arthur is a threat to our kingdom. We need to elimina-"

Before he could finish the king interrupted.

"No buts. Before that. You should remember Arthur is the 2nd prince of Alpinai. How dare you just call him Arthur."

"I'm sorry my lord. Lord-Arthur is a threat to our kingdom."

"I won't hear any excuses. You disobeyed my orders and tried to assassinate the 2nd prince. You could be executed for that. But since you are the prime minister who has helped this country greatly. I will reduce your punishment."

Gandalf released a sigh of relief.

The king also said, "You are now hereby dismissed from the position of prime minister and also in jail for life."

Hearing the punishment Gandalf's expression changed. He was shocked. He almost cried.

"Guards take him away!" ordered Ken.

The guards grabbed Gandalf by the armpits. While he was being dragged, he cursed Ken.

"Ken Shiro! I will remember your name! I curse you that you will be dead by my hands!"

"..."

The king covered his face with his hands and muttered, "The kingdom is in ruins. If this keeps on our two thousand years of history will be gone."

"My lord are you alright?" asked Ken.

The king raised his head and looked at Ken, "I'm alright. I'm just a bit tired from whats going on right now.

"Please take a rest my lord. I'm also tired from whats going on. First sister. Now this..."

"I shall take you up on that offered." smiled the king.

A year went by. Arthur was one years old. He is able to walk and talk now a bit.

Arthur and Ken were in his room. Arthur was playing with a white horse toy. There was another toy but it was a young boy with red eye on his left and black on his right. That child also had a black coat.

Ken was training in the room. He was shirtless swinging his wooden sword.

Arthur looked at Ken. He saw his chiseled body. He had 8 packs, huge muscles and a large chest Arthur was mesmerized by Ken's body.

He asked, "Hey brother Ken, can I also become like you?"

Ken stopped swinging his sword. He then turned his body towards Arthur and said with a smile, "Of course you can."

"Are you strong?" asked Arthur.

Ken grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat off of his body and replied, "Yes. Not to brag but I'm the strongest magician in the kingdom."

"Are magicians strong?"

"Yes. They are the heroes of our country who protects the kingdom."

"Can I also become a magician?"

"Of course. In fact, I believe you will be the strongest magician this entire world has ever seen."

"Wow!"

Ken was trying to wipe his back but he couldn't. Suddenly a hand grabbed the towel off of his hand and started wiping his back.

He looked behind and saw Clara wiping.

"Thanks."

"..." Clara didn't answer.

Arthur looked at them and smirked, "Sister and brother are flirting."

Hearing this Clara blushed and backed away. She then came to Arthur and stood in her knees.

She grabbed Arthur's soldier and said, "My lord. Where did you learn this word?"

Arthur clicked his tongue, "Tsk Tsk. I'm smart you know."

Clara and Ken looked at each other's and giggled.

In the meeting room with the round table. A meeting was held. Every minister was present. Everyone was giving their own opinion on what to do with Arthur.

One minister said, "My lord. We should lock Lord-Arthur in a room and not make him go outside."

Another minister said, "Thats absurd! We should just kick him out of the kingdom and let other kingdoms handle it."

Hearing their opinions the king shouted, "Shut up! He is also a human. She doesn't deserve to suffer like this. My wife didn't die to see her child suffer. I will keep my wife's dying wish and protect him till 10 years old."

Everyone was shut. Seeing the king's love for his wife and children some ministers cried.

"My lord. You are the best emperor this kingdom has ever seen. May you reign for long."

After a while the meeting was ended.

The king had a picture of Sol on his pendent. It had Sol, his oldest son and his daughter on the pendent.

He then muttered while looking at Sol's picture, "Sol, would you have done better if you were still here? I'm sure you would've handled this situation way better than me..." as the king sighed while gazing into the ceilings.
