Two people wearing normal clothes with a plain blackhood, sitting inside a normal looking carriage, passed the town and stopped near the end of a village.
"We should walk from here."
Adonis nodded, getting down from the carriage.
It was evening.
They walked through the lush green trees as the yellow sun was going to become pretty orange.
"Is it inside the forest?"
Magnus nodded.
Adonis noticed that there wasn't a particular way or something that can be perceived as a trial. But somehow Magnus knew exactly where to go.
"How do you know the way, Duke?"
Magnus looked at him.
Knowing that might be inappropriate, Adonis spoke again.
"I apologize. I probably shouldn't ask that question. Please don't mind me."
"The shurbs."
Adonis was surprised at how unhesitant Magnus's voice was.
Magnus continued.
"If you follow the Abelia on a planted near a tree, you'll reach it."
Adonis looked back and ahead. Indeed they had walked along the Abelia plants.
"But it's just a plant. Doesn't it grow at other places too?"
"It does. One head Knight would come and keep these plant in check, every five days."
"Who came up with this idea, Duke?"
"I."
"Wow, Duke is really intelligent."
Adonis nooded his head with a impressed look on his face.
That remainded Magnus of a certain night where those amazed eyes were hazy, as those slender hands were around his neck. Those petal like lips had called him intelligent that night too.
Magnus's eyes for a second had a dangerous glint on it but it disappeared quickly.
They reached the place where the Arnall Knights were being trained while the sun was still in the sky.
Magnus blew a peculiar whistle tune.
A person in full black attire suddenly appeared in front of them.
Adonis held Magnus's arms in shock.
One by one many people like that appeared and bowed to them.
"Greetings to the Chief."
"Rise."
All of them stood up.
"Arnall Knights."
Some people stepped forward while some stepped backwards, in a straight line.
The five horizontal line of people kneeled down with their one knee down like before.
"Today I unofficially introduce you to you Master. Young Master Adonis Arnall is your Master. Pledge your loyalty to him."
The Knights who had kneeled, put their sword down in front of them and put one hands on their chest.
"We greet our Master, Adonis Arnall. We'll be loyal to you and your family till our last breath, no matter what you do."
Adonis felt overwhelmed and nervous.
He braced himself up and said,"Rise."
"More than being loyal to me and my family, I wish you'd be with the good ones and against the one who harm lots of people. If you see someone like that in my own family you're allowed to be against them and if I become like that you can become against me too. I'm not much of an impressive person but I'll give my all to become a deserving Master to you all."
The man was painted light orange with the sun rays making him look extremely sincere.
Magnus's lips turned slightly upwards.
The Arnall Knights stood up and stretched their swords towards Adonis.
"Master."
Their voice together that was full of genuine respect could send goosebumps to anyone who heard that.
"Then I, Adonis Arnall, hereby declare you all my knights. I will try my best to become a person deserving that title and respect."
His sincere face became determined. The sky compliment his words and beauty as it had now become feiry orange.
They told them that the official Knighting Ceremony will be held after their training was completed, two months to be precise.
Magnus had short talk with his nine head Knights and they bid them farewell.
By the time, Magnus and Adonis left, it was already dark.
"I swear I saw when Chief look at that cute Young Master his eyes were pouring out love. He even smiled."
The head Knight two gave Rylan look.
"You're drunk or what, Nine?"
"I swear."
He ran behind the knight who ignored him.
"Sir Knight Four, four, did you see Chief smile?"
Four sighed.
"Nine, I swear I believe in you but sometimes I can't help but want to check if you're eating something inappropriate or smoking maybe. You'll be kicked out if that's the case. You know that, right?"
"What the heck!"
Head Knight Four left too.
"Why are you all ignoring me? I swear I saw Chief smile."
A group of knights stopped to look at him.
"Did you see Chief smiling too? I wasn't the only one, right?"
They just gave him an apologetic smiled and walked away fast.
Pouting, Rylan squatted down.
"Now the Head Knight is even being ignored by the Knights. I really saw him though."
He saw a big feet in his vision and raised his head to see who it was.
"What's wrong?"
Rylan swiftly stood up.
"Sir believes in me right?"
"Why does your face look like you're going to die? Tell me."
"Believe in me, Sir."
The person nodded his head.
"I saw our chief, the Duke of Bloodworth smile. Isn't that amazing? He should smiled more, to look less intimida-"
As soon as he said that, the face of the person turned sour.
"What? You too, sir? You also don't believe in me?"
"You sure have much energy too look at other men smile? I guess I assigned you less work. Go check the flowers also from now on."
The Head Knight One walked away from him with a furious look.
Rylan smriked.
He took the walking man's hand and turned towards the jungle, pulling him.
The head Knight One was pressed against the tree.
"Are you jealous, Sir Head Knight One?"
Head Knight One was taller than Rylan, he didn't spare him a glance and rather kept on looking at the side.
"Or should I say Lucas?"
He basically wishpered in his ear, making the pressed man gulp down.
Rylan smriked and said,"You don't like me thinking about other men? What should I do? I can't control my thinking well."
Lucas swiftly turned them and now it was Rylan who was pressed against the tree.
"You sure have nerves to still speak? Who was the one with you the whole night, the day before?"
"I don't remember. I have been with different people on different nights."
Lucas's face becane like a madman's after those words left Rylan's lips.
He held the lad's chin, tilting it up as he said,"Did you also beg them to not stop and say 'you are the best of all' while crying till the rise is high up in the sky?"
Now Rylan's body had tingles traveling down his body as the momeory of that night resurfaced.
A day ago, on their day off and things somehow ended up like that between the eldest and Youngest Head Knights.
What he was for sure, was he never had night like that, ever before. As rough as Lucas's thrust was his touches were more gentle.
Rylan's body was was tingling in different places as he thought of that build over him.
He snaked those arms around Lucas's neck and said,"No. I haven't. I was more on the making them beg side. You are the only one who I've begged to and cried for."
He quickly pecked the angry man on his lips.
Surprised, Lucas's face slowly calmed down. h
He unclenched his jaw and other fist.
"What do you want me to do?"
Lucas said in a low growl,"Don't ever think about other men."
"Then simply make me unable to think about other men."
Rylan moved a bit towards him, now their whole body was stuck to each other.
He whispered, "Fuck me hard. Fill my mind with your thoughts and body with your smell, essence. Make me beg and cry for you till I pass out."
Lucas's eyes turned dangerous by then.
"Every night."
With those last words, Lucas had already thrown the grown up man on his shoulder. Rylan was embarrassed.
"Put me down."
"You cannot back out of this until the day you hold your sword."
"Put me down, sir."
After Rylan didn't say it. He jerked him.
"Say you pledge yourself loyal to me."
"I do. I pledge myself loyal to only you. Now put me down."
"I'm going to put all things in right places. Brace yourself."
Head night five heard some voices that evening so the Head Knights sent all other other knights to stay in the village as they sacrificed themselves.
They didn't get even a wink of sleep. They tried covering their ear with whatever they had as their Youngest cried all night.
"Ahhh, Lucas....sirrr....Nnggg.....Mmmmm....Ahhhhh....yes, yes…...I'll only look at you.....more, Lucas.....harderrr...yes,Lucas....mm...mm. only one….you….only you...ever....yes...Ahhhh."
