Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 6: THE PRINCE RIGHT HAND MAN AND THE PRINCESS BLIND LOVE

# IN THE DAYS OF THE KEHITA KINGDOM.

After the death and mourning of Quinn. The Kingdom was preparing for the big tournament which was going to take place one month from now. "The tournament, will be a big one kahu" the Prince said. Kahu asked, "what is the tournament all about my Prince? The Prince replied, "Knights and Prince's from different Kingdoms will present themselves and fight for the prize which is 200,000 pieces of pure gold. The last man standing wins the prize. The tournament is hosted by different Kingdoms every year, but fortunately for us we are hosting this year's tournament". Kahu replied, "Wow! that is good my Prince". The prince continued, "I have to really prepare well for this tournament and I don't want to let my family and that of this Kingdom down". Kahu said, "Can i join in the tournament my Prince? The Prince laughed Hahaha you! no Kahu this tournament is for royal families and noble knights of the rich families. And besides you are just a servant". Kahu replied, "But i might be of good help to you my Prince just give me a chance to show my skills". The Prince replied, "I wish i could but i cannot do that, my dad told me that the rule of the tournament cannot be changed no matter what. Kahu replied, "Why don't you want to tell him that i want to join?. The Prince replied, "My father the King would not even listen to me am sorry Kahu but it's not possible. And where did you learn how to fight like a warrior? Kahu replied, "We were trained by King mesil's men to defend ourselves whenever we encountered danger and also protect those we serve". The Prince replied, "Wow that is really good well, maybe one of these days you can show me your skills. Kahu replied, "I will my prince". The Prince said, "Kahu let's go and hunt for animals in the forest especially an antelope it's been long i had gone for hunting. The Prince continued, "I use to go for hunting with my dad when i was just fifteen years old but now my dad barely has time for me and his not getting any younger either". Kahu said, "My Prince why don't you tell him about it maybe he will like to join us this time around i don't think he will decline". The Prince replied, "You have a point, ok let me go and ask him just wait here I won't take long. The Prince went to see his father who was in the King's court. He was discussing with the elders about the tournament. The Prince was allowed access to see the King and said, "Greetings your majesty and greetings my elders". They replied, "Greetings great son of this land". The King asked, "My beloved son is there any problem? The Prince replied, "Yes, there is your majesty but can i whisper it in your ears? The king replied, "Just say it we are all one big family, we are listening". The Prince replied, "Dad can you join me on a dad to son hunting game today? I know i shouldn't have asked but it's been long we went to hunt animals together. The King replied, "Oh my son am sorry, am really busy discussing with the elders about this tournament and how good it should be maybe some other time". Maybe you should asked one of the servant male to join you or a knight . The Prince looked sad. He knew there was no need trying to convince him, he then said, "It's ok dad i understand". Then an elder named leyok said, "No, stop my Prince. Your majesty i think you should join your son in this hunt game we the elders don't want to spoil the bond the both of you share. By tomorrow, we all will be here to discuss about the tournament". They all agreed to what the elder said and the King said, "Well you are right elder leyok .It's been long i have spent time with my son am sorry my boy". The Prince replied," "It's ok dad and he ran and hugged the King putting up a smile". Then they all set to the forest of Albed with four knights following them for protection. As they got into the forest, the king and his son henry shot two antelopes at the same time with their bow and arrows and also took them. They also fought each other while in the forest and the Prince won the King in the fight. Then, the king said, "I can see that you are prepared for this tournament my beloved son and I know you will win but you have to be focused to win the tournament for there will be also, a lot of strong men that will be present". The Prince replied, "I know dad and i will not fail you. I must win this tournament". The King kissed him and hugged him. Kahu was watching from afar but was not happy for the fact that his dad broke his mother's heart and said to himself, "Dad or should I say King rulx you are very wicked". The Prince called Kahu close to them and said, "Dad Kahu wants to join in the tournament please dad do let him join". The King replied, "Kahu is not from a noble family so he cannot join in the tournament and that is against the rules of the tournament". The Prince said, "But dad Kahu said that he has good fighting skills. Please let him join in the tournament". The king replied, "Very good fighting skills?. The Prince replied, "Yes dad". The King turned to Kahu and said, "Kahu let's see what you can do, fight with my son". Kahu replied" With pleasure your highness. The Prince gave Kahu his sword, why the king gave prince henry his. Then they started fighting. The King was watching followed by the knights the fight was fierce between the two but Kahu always had his way when fighting and he won the Prince. Kahu was surprised when he won the prince though he is a bit older than him and he is his step brother but the fight he had with the Late Quinn was tougher because he got bruises. Then he said within himself, "I guess in my heart i was weak and guilty towards Quinn because of his collegues that i and my men killed. Now it seems like I am strong and agile now". Now when the King and the knights saw that the Prince was down they all looked at Kahu and said nothing for a while why the Prince got up and said, "You see dad i told you that he has good fighting skills. But dad why are you quiet say something?. Kahu knelt down and said, "Am so sorry your majesty it was not intentional I" .. then the King interrupted and said, "Wow your skills are very impressive keep it up and where did you learn such skill? Kahu replied, "I learnt it from the Mesilia Kingdom when we were just mere servants your Highness. We were thought, so that we can defend ourselves and that of the person we are serving". The King replied, "Wow I have found someone that can be training my son until the tournament begins". The Prince replied, "No dad i don't need any person to train me, i can train myself and that is not what you should have said you should have said that Kahu can join in the tournament. Please dad let him join in the tournament". The King replied, "No he can't he's just a mere servant and whose services is to serve the royal family. The Prince replied, "No one will know dad i promise just let him join in the tournament please". The King replied, "No my son and that's final. But, he can still teach you". Kahu said, "Please my Prince and your majesty do not argue because of me. I guess it's just a tournament . Please do not argue because of me i don't want to join anymore". The Prince looked sad and said to Kahu "You are no longer interested? Kahu replied, "Yes my Prince. It's ok. The King said, "Am sorry Kahu but you are not of a noble family". Kahu replied, "I understand your highness". And he bowed in respect. The Prince replied, "But dad it's not fair. The King replied, "Nothing is fair my son . Let's go back home it's getting dark already". As they were going back home from the forest, some strange men that were masked about seventeen came out of the bush and attacked them. They killed all four of the knights that followed them and injured the king. But unfortunately, they could not kidnap the prince and his father because they fought well along side with Kahu and only two escaped. The Prince said, "Dad are you alright? The King replied, "Am fine son let us go its just a scratch touching the left side of his shoulder but it was deep. He continued, "Let us go! The Prince replied, "Ok". and called Kahu. And they returned back to the Kehita Kingdom safely with one of the horses carrying the King. Why in the forest, those two men came back to the person that sent them and said, "We are sorry master Ken we could not kidnap the King and his son. Ken shouted what!( Ken was from a noble clan called Kiran they lived and occupied the forest of Albed. They were blessed with water, food and gold. They lived in peace and harmony with about 16 communities which makes up the clan and strong military. They had a King named Griff who was the father to Ken. And Ken had three brothers and a mother. But unfortunately, for them the Kehita troops led by King Rulx attacked their communities and destroyed what was left, killed the king and took over their gold mining center where they mined a lot of gold and sold them. Ken who was a bit younger at the age of 5 escaped with a maiden servant and many other people and sought refuge in a cave deep in the forest. He was nurtured and trained by this maiden servant by name Elena who was then 27 years of age. And since then, he wants revenge for what the Kehita troops and the King did to him and his clan he was now in his 30's, tall handsome and have good fighting skills too) He continued," "What do you mean you could not kidnap them? Then one of the men named Iscal said, "They fought us well and killed many of us even when we killed their knights and injured the King." Then Ken replied angrily saying, "I said that you should not kill them I wanted them alive the King and the prince!". Then oscar his brother said, "I injured the King by mistake. Ken replied, "It's ok i have another plan". He continued, "My source in the Kehita Kingdom said, that they are hosting a fighting tournament and we will be in that tournament". And he laughed but Isca asked, "how master? Then Ken replied, "We will visit a magician who will fake your identities and then you guys will get registered for the tournament when you enter the Kingdom" . The two brothers like the idea. Everyone in the Kingdom were surprised and shocked when they saw the King including the Queen and the Princess. Then the Queen said, "What happened son? The Prince replied, "We were attacked by some men in the forest. I don't even know who those men were they were masked". The Queen replied, "What really? The Prince said, "Please mom call the physician. Then Kahu interrupted saying, "Let me call him my Prince". And left hurriedly. Then came back with the physician Mr Kinoff. Then the physician checked him for sometime and said, "Your highness the King will be fine. He just need to be stitched around here touching the left side of his shoulder. Then he will take his pills and get some sleep". The Queen, Prince and the Princess were all glad. After that, the prince asked his mother saying, "Do dad have any person that hates him or does he have enemies? The Queen replied, "No my son I don't think he has. Why did you ask? The Prince replied, i just wanted to know because of what happened today". The queen replied, "It's ok my son you see some people are just jealous of him and this kingdom. That is why they want to kill him but it will not work for them because our ancestors are with us ok". The Prince replied, "Ok mom I will stand my ground to be against any person that is against my dad and this Kingdom too". The Queen replied, "Yes my son am so proud of you for saying that come here". She kissed and hugged him. But then, the Prince said, "Mom there is a favor i want you to do for me. The Queen replied, "What kind of favor my son? The Prince said, "Please if dad gets better can you tell him to allow Kahu to join in this tournament. You need to see the way Kahu fought those men that attacked us". The Queen replied, "Really? The Prince replied, "Yes mom please! The Queen replied, "Ok, until he recovers i will do my best to tell him about it". The Prince replied, "Thanks mom you are the best" . And kissed her and left happily. Later that night, the Princess came to see Kahu at the male quarters and he and the princess went for a walk then she said touching kahu on his wrist, "I hope you are fine. Did those men harm you? Kahu replied, "No my Princess they didn't and am very fine but my Princess you should be concerned about your father and brother". The Princess replied, "Iam Kahu and am also concerned about you too. I really want to thank you for being there for my dad and my brother you are really a hero. Kahu replied, "But my Princess iam not a...the princess interrupted him by saying, "shhhsh i don't want you to talk anything again. I just want to tell you that i really like you Kahu". Kahu was shocked and surprised and said in his heart, "I can't believe this what is she trying to say don't she knows that am related to her by blood of course she won't well, it's not her fault anyway it's my dad's fault". Then the Princess said, "Did you not get what i said?. Kahu replied, "Yes i did my Princess". The Princess replied, "So do you also like me? Kahu replied, "My Princess, please can you give me enough time to think about this and give you a reply please? The Princess replied, "Hmm ok i will darling".Kahu replied, "Thank you my princess". The Princess replied, "Please Kahu don't call me Princess again just call me by my name Patience". Kahu replied, "Alright i will my princess". As they were still talking and walking Flora was already coming also, to see Kahu. But she saw Kahu and the Princess from afar and hid herself quickly so that they won't see her. Then she also saw when Kahu hugged the Princess and the Princess kissed Kahu on one side of his cheek and she started crying and said, "Could it be that Kahu has fallen for the Princess, that means our mission here has failed hmm he thinks the Princess is more beautiful than iam or because she from a royal family. But he doesn't know that i really like him so much. Well, let me just go back i have seen enough". And she left. Meanwhile the Princess said to Kahu, "Good night my darling". Kahu replied, "Good night beautiful princess of the kehita kingdom sorry i meant good night beautiful lady Patience of the Kehita kingdom". Then the Princess left while Kahu went back to the male quarters. Then at midnight, Kahu summoned Gosmolt and he appeared then Kahu said, "Hope you knew what happened today? Gosmolt replied, "Yes i knew what happened you guys were attacked by strange men right? Kahu replied, "Yes. But do you know who those strange men were? Gosmolt replied, "Those men were the remaining clan of the Kiran. Your dad defeated them and wiped them entirely but only a few of them remained. Those that remained are those who barely escaped the massacre and now want revenge on the Kehita Kingdom. Kahu you need to be on your guard and also protect your step brother the Prince because they might use the tournament as a chance or as an opportunity to kill the Prince for what the King did to them". Kahu replied, "I will be on guard Gosmolt i just hope the King will allow me to join in the tournament". Gosmolt i can't call that man my dad he's a beast! Gosmolt replied, "But he's still your father". Kahu replied, "He doesn't have any conscience at all what is the point of trying to protect the Prince when we are also here for our own revenge against this Kingdom". Gosmolt replied, "I understand what you are saying Kahu but he's still your father no matter what happens. He will surely reap what he has sown. We just need to focus why we are here ok". Gosmolt came close and hugged him and Kahu replied, " Ok". So how do i know when they have entered the kingdom". Gosmolt replied," Don't worry i will tell you before hand". Kahu replied, " ok then bye". Gosmolt replied," Bye". Then he disappeared. That same midnight, Mr ken and the twin men arrived at a small cottage far from the forest of Albed but close to a mountain called Abon. They met an old man called Shonn a magician. Mr Ken said, " Great magician we are here so that you can grant us a request we need." Mr shonn replied, " What kind of request do you want? Mr Ken replied, " I want you to give my men strength because the Kehita Kingdom is fixing a grand tournament and they are inviting noble people far and wide for it. We are on a revenge against the kingdom for what they did to us in the past. And i want you to forge a fake statement of a kingdom that they are not from and change their outfits into such kingdom". The old magician said, " Well sir, it will be done just that it will cost you a lot". Mr Ken replied, " Like how much are we talking about here". Mr Shonn replied, " (3,000) pieces of silver". Mr ken said" Ok just do it". Mr Shonn said" Step forward". The two twin young men named Oscar and Isca came forward and he gave them a portion that will give them maximum strength on the day of the tournament. Mr Shonn said, "Train well and drink the portion that i have given you at midnight, to the day of the tournament. You both will remain unbeatable when fighting the opponents including the Prince but remember no one must find out about this portion bottle because if they do and break the bottle, your powers will leave you immediately". Then the magician forged or faked their statement and outfits too. Mr. Ken thanked, and paid the magician and left. Mr. Ken said to his men" I want you to kill the King's son when you will face him in the last round because I know he will successfully enter the last round and when you do eliminate yourselves". (giving them a poisonous pill) . Then one of the brothers named Isca said, "Master what if we could not kill him? Mr Ken replied, " Then you guys are useless or are you? They replied, " No master". Oscar replied, " We will kill the prince don't mind my brother". Mr ken replied" Very well then".

Early in the morning, kahu received a gift from a palace maid sent by the princess. The maid named susan said, " Good morning sir the princess said I should give you these gift. She said that you will like it". Kahu replied" Thank you please do send my regards to the princess". Susan replied, " I will sir". And she left. Kahu's teammates were all surprised when they saw the gift that he brought into the room and one of them named lemrick said, " What's that master kahu?. Kahu opened the gift and what was in it was new perfumed clothes. They were all surprised and scod said, " Hmm these clothes are nice master kahu". Kahu replied" Yes scod and they are all for me." Lemrick asked" why would she send you a gift? I gues she doesn't know that you are her step brother". Kahu replied" Yes she doesn't but receiving gifts from your sweet step sister isn't that bad right guys? They all laughed. The prince came himself to call kahu from the male quarters and kahu with his teammates greeted the prince with much respect saying" Good morning to the future king of this great kingdom! The Prince replied, " Thank you my humble and good servants". Then he called Kahu close and said, " I think we should go and inspect the noble men coming from different kingdoms for the event because tomorrow is really the noble day for the furious fight but before then, let us go and see the King my father" . The elders has come to see my dad because of what happened but they have gone. They really wanted to finalize the meeting so they and my dad had finalized the meeting concerning the tournament." Meanwhile the King had woken up already feeling energetic and fine. Then the physician Mr. Kinoff who checked him said to the queen and the king saying, " My queen the condition of his majesty is stable and he is now better than ever". The queen replied" Really oh! thank you Mr. Kinoff. Am so grateful i really appreciate". The physician replied, " We thank our ancestors that the king did not die". The Queen replied, " Oh! Yes our ancestors is really with us". The physician replied" I guess i will be on my way your majesties please his highness do take your pills daily so that it will take action in your body to heal the wound". The king replied, " I will, thank you Mr. Kinoff". The physician replied, " You are welcome your highness". And he left. As he left, the queen was talking to her husband about what her son the prince had told her yesterday. Then all of a sudden the Prince came in with Kahu into the King's chamber and was surprised when he saw that the king was alright and hugged him saying" Wow! dad thank the ancestors that you alright". The king got up from his bed and looked at his son and said, " Do you think I will miss my son's great day at the tournament and all of the fighting that will happen that day? The prince replied, " I know you won't miss a thing dad". The Prince continued, " Dad please do let Kahu join in the tournament he would be of great help to me and this Kingdom and we promise not to let you and this kingdom down". The king replied, " Hmm i thought you would choose a knight from this kingdom to join you in the tournament and not a servant boy". The Prince replied, " No dad please, kahu is now my right hand man he's somebody i can trust and i also see him as a friend". The king replied, " Hmm hope you can trust him? The Prince replied, " Yes dad". The Queen joined saying, "Please your majesty let the young man join in the tournament with our son please your majesty". The King replied, " Ok alright he will join you but you need to find a name to give him because if other noble men from other kingdoms find out he's just a servant our Kingdom will be suspended for a long time and will not participate in upcoming tournament".The prince replied" I will exchange him with another knight no one will know about this dad I promise". The king replied" It's ok son". The prince replied" We will take our leave". And they left the chamber to inspect the noble men from other kingdoms. There were 10 tag noble men team from 10 kingdoms but they came as a tag team of two so the tag team was two by ten that is ten tag team were twenty noble men. This was the format for the tournament. Team of two will be fighting against another team of two too.That is how the tournament goes. A team wins by hitting their opponent down until they give up or they killed such opponent too this was optional. The prince and kahu came across his friend prince mike of the arnon kingdom. They were also part of the tournament. They greeted themselves warmly and were happy to see each other and prince henry said" Am glad to see you here in this tournament my friend". Prince mike said" Yea am glad too it's been a while." Kahu greeted" Good day prince mike". Prince mike looked at the young man and replied" Good day". And asked prince henry" Who is this again? The prince replied"He's one of the male servant that king mesil introduced in i and my sister's birthday." Prince mike replied" Oh i see how are you doing and what is that your name again? Kahu replied" Am fine my prince and my name is kahu am good today what of you? Prince mike replied" Am good too". Prince henry asked prince mike saying"So who is the knight with you? Prince mike replied" Oh forgive my manners this is sir kethlon my fellow team mate who will join me in this tournament". Sir kethlon said" Good day my prince". Prince henry replied" Good day to you too". Prince mike continued" He's a strong man". Prince henry replied" Hmm i see are you saying that to scare me? Prince mike replied" I think so". They all laughed. Prince mike asked prince henry saying" How is my beautiful wife to be? Prince henry replied" She's fine". Putting up a smile. Prince mike continued" Hope you are ready for the tournament because you know you are going down".Prince henry replied" You know i was born ready". I and my team mate will win this tournament". Prince mike replied" We will see about that. Well I can't wait to see your parents and my beautiful wife". Prince henry replied" Shall we. Kahu please help the other knight to inspect the other fighters from other kingdoms. Kahu replied" I will my prince". As kahu and the other knight were inspecting the other noble fighters from other kingdoms. Kahu came across two fighters named oscar and isca that were from elinar kingdom. He suspected that they were not noble fighters but imposters but he didn't have any evidence against them and was not sure whether his feelings were right but he said within himself saying" I will still keep my guard and protect the prince till the end of the tournament no matter what". Kahu also came across prince simon and his delegate and greeted him saying" You are welcome my prince". Hugging him.The prince replied" Am so glad to see you again my dear friend don't worry later we will talk ok". Kahu replied" Ok my prince". And the prince left with his delegate to see and greet the royal family. Meanwhile the prince accompained prince mike and his delegate to see his parents and sister as they got to the palace, prince mike said" Greetings your majesties and the beautiful princess". King rulx replied" Greetings son of a great man king zulux. How was your trip? Prince mike replied" It was good your majesty". The king replied" Ok what of your father? Why did he not come with you? Prince mike replied" He said he would have come but he has been busy lately". The king replied" Alright hope you are really prepared for the tournament? Prince mike replied" Yes your majesty." Your majesty i want to personally introduce you to sir kethlon of the arnon kingdom. He's my team mate for this tournament". Sir kethlon bowed in respect and said" Greetings your majesties and the beautiful princess of the kehita kingdom". They all replied" Greetings noble knight of the arnon kingdom".The king replied" You are most welcome. Please prince mike you and your delegate should feel at home". Prince mike replied" Thank you your highness".Prince mike winked at the princess but she acted as if she did not see it. Then prince henry called in some servants to help them carry their goods to their chambers and said" I have to inspect the other knight and princes coming from other kingdom for this tournament". Prince mike replied" It's ok i understand".Then they parted ways. Other noble fighters came into the palace to greet the royal family. When the prince came back, the knights in charge of the inspection process by name sir kebb gave the names of the those participating in the tournament tomorrow to the prince saying" These are their names my prince". Trying to give him the list then the prince said" Call their name out loud so that i can hear it". Sir kebb nodded and said" Number 1: Sir kowan and sir lebryn from azotah kingdom. Number 2: Prince peter and Sir george from hilper kingdom. Number 3: Sir ugah and sir koah from beeri kingdom. Number 4: Prince mike and sir. kethlon from arnon kingdom.

Number 8: Prince colob and sir jovan from dekin kingdom. Number 9: Sir hoff and sir garl from oamin kingdom. And lastly my prince number 10: Prince henry and sir jeff from kehita kingdom.These are the list of people participating in the tournament". The prince nodded and said" It's ok make sure the security is tight for now and tomorrow do i make myself clear? The knight sir kebb replied" Yes my prince". Sir kebb left with other knights and soldiers. The prince said to kahu" Don't you think we should practice? Kahu replied" We should my prince". They started practicing by fighting themselves till it was night. After the practice, they both went to the prince chamber and drank some wine. Then kahu said" My prince i think i need to freshen up and rest". The prince replied" Ok you can go i guess you are tired but don't forget i am hosting a little welcome celebration for all the noble knight that are visitors here". Then kahu remembered prince simon. He hope to see him and talk with him. Then kahu replied" I won't forget my prince". Then he left. As he was already close to the male quarters he came across the princess again and bowed in respect and said" Thank you my princess for the wonderful clothes you gave me". The princess began touching his chest and shoulder and said" You are welcome kahu my love but i don't know why you have not given me your answer yet? Unfortunately prince mike was strolling round the palace with sir kethlon and heard noises close to the male servant quarters to there surprise, it was the princess with kahu and they stopped to look at them. Kahu replied" I will give you my answer tomorrow after the tournament but my princess please you should not be seen with me someone might think another thing and i might get into trouble". The princess replied" What are you saying kahu i do what i want in this palace because this is my Father's house and i don't care what people will say because i love you Kahu I can change your life for good kahu don't you see that fate has brought us together". Holding him on his hands. Kahu was surprised and said within himself saying" This princess really loves me and if care is not taken she would want to sleep with me too hm i will tell her how i feel tomorrow and that's all she might hate me for it but it's for the best". Kahu held her hands and asked her" Princess what of prince mike don't you love him? The princess replied removing her hands from his saying" I don't love him even a bit. He's just a family friend that's all. It's you that i love kahu". Kahu replied" Ok princess i will give you my answers tomorrow i promise my princess". The princess replied" Ok i will be waiting my love and please i have told you to stop calling me princess". Kahu replied" Am sorry my beautiful patience". And winked at her smiling. The princess hugged him and kissed him on his side cheek and he also kissed her on her side cheek. Then the princess smiled and said" Goodnight my love sleep tight". Kahu replied" Same to you my beautiful patience". And they both parted ways. When prince mike and sir kethlon saw all that happened prince mike was in deep rage and went to see prince henry in his chambers.When prince mike and his knight got to prince henry chambers he said" My dear friend did you know that your sister likes a pauper boy a servant brat? Prince henry said" No prince mike I don't think so". Prince mike said" Well I just saw her with that servant guy whose name is kahu". Prince henry replied" What that's not possible i mean why should it be Kahu maybe there is a mix up somewhere or maybe they were just friends". Prince Mike replied, "Friends oh my gosh it's like you don't know your sister she hugged him and kissed him and he also did the same too". Prince Henry was surprised but Prince Mike continued, " I for say why she never had time for me or is it because he's handsome i cannot just understand a servant boy at that". Prince henry was already angry and said, " I know what to do just don't worry please go and prepare for the little party celebration i have told one of my palace guard to inform the others just leave this case to me". Prince mike said, " If your sister don't like me i better leave her alone". And he left in disdain. Meanwhile Kahu got home and told his teammates what happened between him and the princess and one of them named scod said, " Master Kahu you really need to tell her how you feel". Others agreed. Kahu replied, "Don't worry i will tell her tomorrow by the way Prince Simon is also participating in the tournament". Lemrick said, " Yes master Kahu i even personally carried his luggages and showed him where he would be staying in the palace he also wants to see each and every one of us including the maidens. He said he wants us to see him in his chambers". Kahu said" Well i have to freshen up and see the maidens to tell them what you have told me". After Kahu had freshen up, he immediately went to see the maidens because the welcome little party had already started. When he got to the female servant quarters he knocked at the door then flora opened the door and asked kahu in an angry tone" what do you want? Kahu replied, " Won't you allow me in first". So she did. Kahu looked surprised and asked" Is there any problem? Flora replied" No there is no problem". Kahu replied" I know there is please just tell me". Flora replied" Are you in love with the princess? Kahu was surprised and said" No i am not flora she's even my step sister". Flora was shocked and said" Really but you never told me". Kahu replied" Yes i know and am sorry for not telling you much about my family only Prince Simon knows about it. You see my dad is the King of this Kingdom and his children are my step siblings. The king dumped my mom for another woman and banished us for a wrong accusations that my uncle his best friend wanted to kill him and that is why we need to take revenge on this Kingdom. So i can't possibly be in love with my step sister it's insane". Flora smiled and said, "Ok i was just a bit jealous that's all. I was there watching the both of you". Kahu said, "Hmm do you like me? Flora was shy now and said" Like you wow anyone can like you kahu so what did you want to say before earlier". Kahu replied, "Well i can't say anything until you have answered my question". Flora was shy and said, Oh come on please i don't want to. I don't know what you are talking about". Kahu said, "Am waiting". Flora with immediate haste replied" Ok yes i do like you. It's just that i don't know if you will do the same. Kahu immediately replied" I also like you too infact you are the one i like. Flora looked dumbfounded and couldn't say anything. Then Kahu continued, "It has been a while since i like you but i couldn't say anything because i thought you would like someone else. He touched her shoulders and kissed her on her forehead and said, "Well Prince Simon wants to see us all in his chambers but i think that would be after the party". Flora was still dumbfounded and could still not say a word but nodded when he had finished talking. Then Kahu said, "Well i guess i have to leave now since you are no longer talking and i don't want to miss the little welcome party the prince hosted downtown in the kingdom and i think every noble man participating for the tournament would be there so catch you later my pretty angel bye". Then he immediately left and she waved back at him and said, "Bye". Meanwhile, the party had already started and everyone is seated there with drinks and food for all to eat and there was noise in the party. The twins Isca and Oscar were present there but they could not wait for tomorrow to come so that they could take their revenge and honor the death of their own people and also win the prize. Then the prince got up and said, "Please everyone listen up I thank you all for being here i might not know you all but i know most of you here and i want to tell you all that it's a privilege to participate in this tournament and i also welcome you all to my Kingdom you all are most welcome. And the tournament of strength will kick off tomorrow so i wish you all good luck". and they replied, "Same to you Prince Henry". Prince Henry continued, "Thank you please enjoy yourselves". So everyone was talking and at the same time drinking and eating and some dancing ladies were brought in to entertain them also music was in play. Then Kahu came in and went to see Prince Henry and said, "Am sorry am a little late my prince". Then the Prince said, "Let's go outside Kahu". The Prince continued, "Do you like my sister? Kahu was surprised and said, "No my Prince i don't like your sister". The Prince said, "You didn't even bother to tell me that my sister liked you why? Kahu replied, "Am sorry my Prince it's nothing because i will give her my answers tomorrow i promised her that. And i didn't want you and your sister to quarrel or fight because she was in love with a servant boy". The prince said" So you thought it was best to keep it to yourself? Kahu replied, "Yes but am sorry my Prince". The Prince replied, "It's ok Kahu it's just that you would have told her earlier that you didn't so that she won't feel much heart broken or ditched later you know she's my twin sister". Kahu replied" Yes she is". The Prince said" Hope you are not lying to me because if i found out you are you will rot in jail". Kahu replied, "Am not lying my Prince i don't like her she's like a sister to me". The Prince said, "It's alright but did you kiss her? Kahu replied, "I won't lie to you yes i did but it was only on the side cheek". The Prince replied, "OK but don't do such again because my friend is jealous and angry too". Kahu knelt down and said" My prince i won't do such again and please do beg your friend to forgive me i don't mean to harm his feelings". The prince said" It's alright I will tell him just get up well, i will forgive you just this once ok". Kahu replied" Ok my prince". The Prince said, "Let's go in and enjoy ourselves". And they went in prince henry told prince mike all that kahu told him and prince mike said" Are you sure he's telling the truth? Prince Henry replied, "Yes he is he would not lie to me". But Kahu kept on guard for the prince because he was a just a servant and the prince trust him more . After much eating and drinking everyone returned back to their chambers to get a sound sleep for the big day tomorrow. While kahu and his team mates and also flora and her own fellow maidens visited prince simon's chamber and they were happy to see him and discussed a lot and prince simon said to kahu" I wish you success in the tournament tomorrow since you and the prince are team mate for this tournament". Kahu replied, "Thank you my Prince and i also wish you and knight Dave success too". The prince said talking to all of them" I hope you guys still remember the mission here? They all replied, "Yes we did". After much discussion, everyone went back to their quarters. Flora said to kahu, "Well good night and sleep well and also good luck tomorrow". Kahu replied, "Yea". Looking straight into her eyes and kissed her on her lips and ran off immediately while flora smiled from afar. At midnight, gosmolt woke Kahu up and said" Remember to be on your guard for the prince while you are fighting side by side with him". Kahu replied" Ok". Then Gosmolt said, "Now see what they are doing". Pointing at a wall opposite them then a mirror appeared and kahu could see through the mirror. Lo and behold the twin men drank the portion they received at that same midnight so that when they will be fighting tomorrow they will remain unbeatable. Kahu asked, "What are we going to do? Gosmolt replied, "Just be fighting even when you and the Prince have reached the finals to fight them. Then i will find their small bottled jar and break them into pieces then they will be very weak and defenseless. And remember that they want to kill the Prince". Kahu replied, "Yea i know that". Gosmolt said, "Well i wish you success tomorrow my Prince". Kahu was surprised and said, "Ok Your highness". And they both laughed. Gosmolt asked, "Kahu do you like flora? Kahu replied" Hm so you are everywhere even to when i was discussing to flora can't someone have some privacy. Well yes i do why did you ask? Gosmolt replied, "I just wanted to know and besides flora is a good charming lady". Kahu replied, " It's ok go let me have my sleep". Kahu was now behaving like a child. Gosmolt disappeared. The next day, was a big day everyone gathered at the central ground in the kingdom. Male and female old and young even the elders came too and also the royal family. Prince Henry had told Sir Jeff secretly that his servant Kahu will fight in place of him. The noble fighters were wearing their shields that covered their whole body and were carrying their armors too and were also ready at the central ground and the King motioned his hands because there was alot of noise and everywhere was calm and quiet then he stood up and said, "Today marks a special day for everyone including this great kingdom. We are glad that we hosted this tournament and if by chance this kingdom wins, then it's of a great honor. Remember that the winner takes 200,000 pieces of pure gold. Now let the fight begin". The people were all cheering very loud . Sir kebb called out the first tag teams that were fighting. He said, "Sir Kowan and his team mate Sir Lebryn versus Prince Peter and Sir George. And they stepped forward. Let the fight begin". They started fighting, the fight was fierce but prince peter and sir george from the Hilper Kingdom won. So the fight continued that way on how they were numbed on the list number 3 against number 4, number 5 against number 6, number 7 against number 8 , number 9 against number 10. Prince Henry was surprised that Prince Colob and Sir Jovan of the Dekin kingdom were out and said to Kahu" The Dekin Kingdom had won the tournament prize when it was hosted like 5 times higher than any Kingdom and now they were defeated i guess this kingdom of Elinar has strong men and this is the first time i am hearing of such Kingdom before". Kahu said nothing but now understood that the Elinar kingdom was just a fake name and as a disguise so as those strange men could qualify for the tournament . He said to the prince" Don't worry we will come out victorious". The Prince replied, "We will". So the remaining fighters were number 2, number 4, number 6, number 7, number 10. Number 2 and number 4 fought and number 4 won( Prince Mike and Sir Kethlon from the Arnon kingdom). Number 6 and Number 7 fought and number 7 won( Sir Oscar and Sir Isca from Elinar kingdom). Then number 4 and number 10 fought the fight was fierce and number 10 won. Then it was the last fight between the Elinar kingdom number 7 and the Kehita kingdom number 10. Gosmolt transformed himself into a guard that were a fellow delegate for the Elinar kingdom. He saw two guards who were guiding the chamber of the twins. He sent two bush rats against them to cause distraction so that he could enter into the room. The two guards were chasing the rats from far and left their duty post because it disturbed them and gosmolt entered the room. The fight began. It was really rough and fierce but the Prince and Kahu did not want to give up and they were also getting tired but the twin knights were not even getting tired at all. Gosmolt searched everywhere to know where the empty bottled portion were but could not find it until he checked under their bed and saw a small box that was locked and unlocked the box. He tried to grab the two empty bottled portion but there was an electric shock as he tried to touch them then he said, "Hmm i guess the magician cast a strong spell on the two empty bottled portion. I need to undo the spell but it might take a while. Kahu and the Prince fought with everything they had but the twin knights were too strong for them. Then one of them called Isca got the Prince and injured him because the Prince wore a royal robe round his worn shield and pulled him to the ground and this time said, "This is your end Prince Henry". And tried to strike him dead with the sword even Kahu was on the ground too and could not do anything but wanted to get up and help the prince. Everyone present at the event were surprised even the royal family that their sons will die and loose this tournament then the King said, "Please our ancestors come to our aid". As Isca wanted to strike the Prince, gosmolt broke the spell and broke the two empty bottled portion cups into pieces and their power left them. And this time, they were weak and defenseless and the Prince with Kahu won them. Everyone present at the event were happy even the royal family and the elders too. When the twins saw that they were defeated they confessed that they were using magic to win and they ate the poisonous pill that their master gave them and they died. While Gosmolt disappeared. The two guard and the elinar delegate were arrested for using magic to fight in the tournament. Now Prince Henry and Sir Jeff were given 200, 000 pieces of gold for their victory and this was the first time the Kehita Kingdom had won their first tournament. After the tournament the Prince gave Kahu about 10, 000 pieces of gold. Kahu also went to see the Princess in her chamber. Kahu said," My princess i only like you as a friend and please do consider prince mike he really likes you a lot". The Princess was surprised and asked Kahu "Are you ditching me? Kahu replied, "My princess am not besides we are not in any relationship i really like you as a friend. Please do consider and am sorry". The princess said, "Kahu get out of my room! In an angry tone. Then Kahu left. The other noble fighters started leaving since there was still time and greeted the royal family. Kahu and flora waved good bye to prince simon and their delegate. Later that night, kahu told flora as he accompained her back to the female servant quarters saying" Please let keep this relationship secret between us ok". She nodded and said" Well am happy you and the prince came out victorious". And he kissed her on her lips and hugged her and said" Good night my love". She said the same thing then he left. He left to see the King privately and the King blessed him and Prince Henry. After that one of the soldier ran to see the prince in his chamber and said" Those people we arrested earlier today are dead". The prince asked how did this happen? The soldier said, "They ate the same poisonous pills the knights of Elinar Kingdom did. The Prince was surprised and said, "What is going on? Meanwhile a spy for Master Ken named Kob visited him where he stays and said "Master ken the twins failed". Where are the rest of the people they went with? The twins confessed but did not call any name then they jailed the delegate that is the people that came with them and they committed suicide by chewing the poisonous pills given to them and they died". Master Ken asked, "Did they expose us? Kob replied, "No sir" . Master Ken replied, "Very well then the secret of this clan is hidden until then King Rulx i will still take my revenge". Then he laughed. At midnight, Gosmolt appeared to Kahu in the room and woke him up and said" Kahu tomorrow is the day hope you remembered". Kahu replied, "Yes i know, this kingdom and the royal family will hear from us". He was looking angry.
