Chereads / The King's Sword Crusade, Book 1 / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4. Memories.

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4. Memories.

It has been 18 years since Luana came into this world and into our family. I remember very well the expression on my father's face when he entered the Palace with Luana in his arms, I saw disappointment, resentment and shame when he saw me enter with Luana in his arms.

He got up and approached me with the imposing terrifying figure of her, I saw in his eyes an immense disappointment on his part. I just lowered my gaze, I didn't dare look my father in the eye, because I knew it would disappoint him even more. The only thing he could do back then was ask for forgiveness.

___ Father ___ I told him nervously ___ sorry for disappointing you

___ Disappoint me? ___ answered me ___ Son, I am not disappointed in you

___ What do you say father?! ___ replied Kazan ___ For not following your orders they almost killed us!

Our father looked at him with a chilling look, Kaza just knelt down in front of him. Kazan looked at me in a way that he had never given me. I knew that being around him was going to be hell for Luana and me.

___ I have been watching how you address your brother Lukan ___ our father answered him ___ now you and Nathanael will help Lukan to raise this girl

___ What are you saying?! ___ yelled Kazan

___ It's fine with me ___ said Nathanael unconcerned

Our father approached Kazan and put his hand on his shoulder, my brother raised his face from him, our father stared at him, as if he was disappointed in him. Kazan was about to say something, but he stopped, pushed our father's hand away, got up and left our father's presence without saying a word.

Our father told me that he should take good care of the baby and helped me find a name for her.

The year passed and Luana was growing and she fulfilled the first year of her life. It was an unforgettable party for her. Kazan was unbearable every day, Luana didn't like him at all even though my father scolded him all the time that he shouldn't be jealous of a girl. But Luana always looked for Kazan, she liked her a lot.

___ Get out of my way girl! ___ yelled at him ___ Don't bother!

___ Kazi ... Kazi ___ he said affectionately

___ Do not tell me so !

Kazan was a very serious man, he didn't like anyone to hug him, not even me, he always avoided Luana. Every time he looked at her he ran away just like her, he always wanted to hug him.

14 years had passed and the day came when Luana was no longer a girl, she was a real lady, on that day I introduced her to a young man so that they could talk animatedly. But it wasn't the best idea I've ever had.

Luana grabbed him with blows. What did the young man do to make Luana beat him up? I only saw the young man run in a hurry.

___ Wait, what happened? ___ I asked

___ Your sister is crazy! ___ she answered me

I saw in the shirt of his lips that he was bleeding, he left the palace angry. I went to the East pavilion, where the royal garden is located. Luana was there drinking tea, I approached her and asked her the same thing as the young man.

___ Luana, I saw the young man I introduced you to run away and hit him ___ I told him seriously ___ What happened?

___ You know ___ she answered me ___ I rejected it

___ And that's why you had to hit him? ___ replied

Luana approached me, looked into my eyes for a long time, her eyes drove me crazy, her red lips made me want to kiss her and that beautiful body made me want to possess her, all those thoughts I kept deep inside my being.

___ I'm not attracted to him ___ she told me smiling

___ So which one attracts you? ___ I asked curious

___ That doesn't concern you ___ he told me with a pout

I didn't expect that answer, she always told me everything since I was a child, now she doesn't look for me anymore. When she turned 12 years old she moved away from me, she is a bit mysterious, she becomes more beautiful even though she always has.

She used to not like to dress up very much, she always wore my armor, she wanted to go with me to the battlefield. Now she doesn't like being around me anymore.

___ Come on, you always share everything with me ___ I told him hurt ___ and now you hide from me

___ I'm not a girl anymore ___ she replied ___ I can't be telling you all my private life

It was to be expected that Luana would be aggressive, because she is saving her love for the person she loves with all her heart.

___ That's smart ___ I said serious ___ but did you have to hit him?

___ I did it because he wanted to kiss me by force ___ she said with disdain ___ I don't like men who force a woman to kiss him

Her words were like a dagger in my heart, I was to blame because I was the one who introduced the young man. He was very upset with myself, he was barely 15 years old, I introduced him to a young man older than her. She is just a girl, I did not measure the consequences that this would cause.

The next day, my maids woke me up very early in the morning. They were scared, everyone in the Palace was.

___ My lord please get up! ___ yelled

___ What's happening?! ___ I frowned ___ Why do you get me up so early?!

The servants did not answer me, they only handed me the armor.

___ Why suddenly give me my armor?! It's not fight time yet ___ I told them

___ My lord, the young man who introduced you to Lady Luana yesterday... is at the entrance of the palace with a huge army ___ they yelled at me

He was stunned, I don't know what this boy was thinking at the time, but maybe he was coming to get even with Luana for yesterday's beating.

___ Look for Lorenzo, Sergio and Phoenix ___ I ordered them

___ Yes sir ___ answered

___ Did we inform the brothers about him? ___ they asked me

___ No, they are with my father visiting King Arthur, it is not good to disturb him at the round table, I will take care of this matter, go and saddle my horse

___ As ordered my lord ___ is leaving

They left and I got up and put on my armor and took my sword. Going down the stairs, Luana was there worried.

___ Lucas! she ___ she called me distressed ___ Excuse me

___ Excuse me? ___ I asked ___ Why do you ask for forgiveness?

___ He's here because of me... if I hadn't hit him ____ lowered his head

It made me very sad to see Luana lower her head to me, she had never done it, this time it was my fault, if I don't know I would have presented it yesterday, this wouldn't have happened.

___ Don't do that ___ I told him seriously ___ look at me, it's not your fault, it's me, so I'll be the one to fix this

___ But...

___ No buts ___ I interrupted her ___ be obedient and wait for me here

Her face lit up with a splendid glow.

___ Yes happy

In 15 minutes, Lorenzo, Sergio and Pheonix arrived, we arrived at the entrance of the Palace, we put skillful archers in each tower, if anyone dared to attack the third crown prince, he had the order to shoot.

At one point the Palace gates opened, when the Palace gates opened, we never thought to see this.

___ Hey, this is not an army ___ Lorenzo said embarrassed

___ I know, shut your mouth ___ I answered with my head down

The young man was stunned to see the entire army surrounding him.

...?!

___ But prince! ___ he said scared ___ I just brought my whole family to meet my future wife!

___ That's right ___ they all answered at the same time

I was frozen for a moment << How?! His future wife of him?! >> He was about to explode << His future wife of him?! Is this idiot really coming to take Luana away from me?! >>

___ Hadn't he rejected you yesterday? ___ I told him with a glare

<< Have if you take Luana away from me and say again that she is your future wife >>

___ Oh you know! hehehe ___ he said something clumsy and nervous ___ If that's the case, we won't go Let's go or he'll kill us!

They ran away like chickens, I told myself that this young man is not as good for war as I am.

This was the most embarrassing scene of my life, me a prince and warrior, although he does not serve in war. This was the funniest of all.

Until the next chapter.
