CHAP 8: THE PRINCE RETURNS.
The next day while the soldiers were training, the prince visited the training grounds again, which is what the soldiers is missing.
"The prince is back!"one of the soldiers spotted Lex and shouted.
"We bid respect to the prince!"all of the soldiers.
"Ah, hi!"Lex replied.'this soldiers are surprisingly good, the whole kingdom thought of me as trash but they still respect me.'Lex said in his thoughts.
Lex continue to talk to the soldiers."hey, can one of you guys spar with me?"Lex askes.
The soldiers hesitantly answered."but prince, no offence, will you be ok?"the soldier with the highest ranking said.
"Yeah trust me, and besides, we'll be using wooden swords instead of a real one."Lex said.
"Then to avoid any unattended happenings, I'll spar with you, your highness."the soldier with the highest rank suggested.
"Alright, what's your name?"Lex asked.
"I'm Bryce, I'm the commander here your highness."Bryce said with well manners.
"Alright Bryce, let's get started."Lex said.
"Alright."Bryce replied.
"Take care of me."Lex said before charging to Bryce.
On the other hand Bryce didn't expect the prince to be any good at holding a sword because he didn't even saw him once wield a sword.
Bryce tried to wave Lex's sword away casually but ended up getting his sword slashed into two, and get hitted in the head.
The soldiers were dumbfounded, with their mouths opened, they don't have any idea on what had happend.
"Hey, you go easy on me did you?"Lex asked.
Bryce took a few seconds before he came back to his senses and answered."S...sorry your highness."Bryce didn't know what to say.
"Your highness, the king wants to see you."the maid said.
"Alright."Lex answered.'so they already knew I ce back?'
After Lex said his goodbye to the soldiers and walked away, the soldiers were gossiping on what happened, they even asked Bryce if he really hold back to be sure.
"Hey commander, did you really go easy on the Prince?"one of the soldiers asked.
"I did go easy on him, but still, the way he slashed my sword in two, it looks like his been using a sword for more than years."Bryce answered.
"Is he practicing in private?"another soldier asked.
"I don't know either, well, let's just be happy that the prince is finally showing his talents, come on, let's go back to training."Bryce said.
In Lex's location*
"Prince Lex is here!"
Just after Lex entered the room, his whole family is already in the throne room.
"So your back?did you enjoy your stay outside?"king Lith is the first one to say something.
"I enjoyed it a lot, father."Lex answered.
"Good, so I called you two here fo a reason, Paul is now 12 y/o, and you Lex is 14, isn't time for you guys to enter an academy?"king Lith asked the two.
"Academy?"Lex confusedly asked.
"Lex, we know that you don't have any interest in joining an academy, but atleast give it a try."Queen Pauline said to Lex.
"O...Ok, I guess."Lex answered.'Maybe this body doesn't want to go to an academy.'
"Really?!Then it would be good to see two of my childrens coming to an academy."Queen Pauline said.
"Ok then, it's decided, you two Should go to one of the 4 great academies, don't care which one as long as it's one of the four."king Lith said.
"Will brother gonna pass the entance exam though?There's no excemption in an academy exam even if your a royal, if you fail, you fail."Paul said while looking to Lex.
The Queen and the King also looked to Lex.
"Don't worry, Father, Mother, I'll pass it."Lex said.
"Alright, we'll trust you."king Lity said."you two can leave now."
Paul leave the room without saying a word to Lex, Lex didn't care about it though and just headed to his room.
Lex jumped to his bed as soon as he closed the door, it's been a while since he laid down to a soft bed.
After laying down for a while, Lex fell asleep.
