The king of ivory town was in the royal garden having a sword fight with his two sons. The queen sat in the gazebo lightly sipping her tea while she watched them .
Sparks flew as swords collided against each other. "You're going to have to do better than that if you want to take down your old man" taunted the king while blocking attacks from both of his son's
The eldest son blocked his father's attack and rolled to his brother's side. "Come on, is that really all you've got father?".
The younger son winked at his elder brother who nodded. Then, the eldest son moved to distract the king while blocking his attacks while the younger one sneaked behind his father who was preoccupied with the eldest and attacked.
The king froze for a moment and both sons took advantage of that moment to disarm him.
"You lose father!" declared the youngest son.
"Very well , I forfeit"said the king as he surrendered. "I must say, that was a very good tactic you used ,using your brother as a decoy , very intelligent" .
"Thank you father" both princes said in unison while bowing to their father.
"Bravo!" The queen said , cheering for her son's. "It seems I have three strong men protecting me , I feel so special".
The princes thanked their mother for her praises.
"Now ,you boys go get ready, our guest will be arriving soon" Reminded the queen.
"Very well mother , we'll be on our way" the eldest son said. The king and his sons proceed to get ready to welcome their guest.
While the king and his sons left the royal garden to get ready , the queen ordered some servants to clean up the teacups she used for tea.
She looked up and saw that it was almost late afternoon while wondering when the guest was going to arrive .
