Inside the king's castle in the magnificent throne room,the king was scolding his daughter."Where do you always go from morning to evening?!I think I told you to stay in the castle!"
"But dad!,Am not a kid!,"Cindy,the king's daughter complained,"I don't want to be a princess but a knight.I want to protect our kingdom."
"ARE YOU MAD!If you dare join the knights you know you'll get killed by those demons.
"I don't want to hear rumours of the princess being in the knight squid!"
The doors to the throne room opened,and a young man in a green armour was escorted inside by two red knights.
"Then you are too late,"Cindy mumbled enough for the King to hear as she stormed out of the room almost bumping on the red knight who was on the left side of Earl Henry.She banged the large doors behind her closing them as she left, leaving the two men to talk.
"Tell me Hen,have you seen her in the knight grounds?"Hen had become a common name that the king used on Henry.
"No your highness,"the Earl replied as he bowed down followed by his guards.But when he stood up,the two red knights kept their heads facing the ground as they were down on one knee.
"Anytime you spot her in the Knight Academy, inform me."
"But Sir,why would you not let her be?!"Henry asked as he waited for the worse reply from king Arthur.
"Do you remember how brave my wife used to be?,she was the head of all knights in flat kingdom.I fought with her in battles on the front lines.That was until the first demon attack took place.Just like our usual style,we were at front lines,but the tables turned from what we were used to,to watching her being devoured by a demon.Why am I explaining this to you?,you were there too!"The king almost shouted as he spoke with anger.
He climbed to his throne chair and removed the large crown from his head and placed it on his laps.He had short black hair and long neatly combed grey beard.He heavily exhaled in disappointment,"I don't want the same to happen to her.You know what, forget about it, report."
"Ah yes, about that sir, there is a big threat,"this sentence caused the king to change his sitting position.What would be worse than frequent demon attacks,"We spotted an Amphiptere.The kind of dragons that were supposed to be eliminated a long time ago."
"Where did it come from?!"
"I don't know Sir,but what I know is that when I got there,I found one of the young knights in that area with multiple minor demons and one intermediate demon laying dead on the ground.I don't know if he was the one who did it or it was the dragon."
"What did he say?,did you question him?"
"No your highness, currently the young boy is injured due to the encounter.Am afraid he can't speak right now,"this was disturbing Henry a lot.
"Where's the dragon now?You know that thing is a danger to us if it was also a danger to that celestial."The king had a deep frown on his face.
"That I don't know,"Henry felt embarrassed as the only thing he remembered is running for his life as fast as his young body could go,with red fire balls chasing after him.He didn't notice where the dragon went to because the balls had suddenly lost power falling from the air,almost burning the whole forest.He traced the other three boys and he was successful to find both Jack and Kim all okay.But it took a lot of time to find Glen,they found him in a type of comma injured on his back as his shirt had burnt and a large black scorch mark could be seen.
"I'll summon him to you when he wakes up,"the Earl spoke.
————
"Do you mind telling us what happened!"A girl screamed at Jack.It was lunch hour and all knights would gather in the canteen for their meals, except Glen ofcourse.
"Relax love,am going to tell you all what happened."Jack didn't have to explain what the dragon looked like because every knight who was in the canteen had seen it.
"...the battle was so intense,I kept on burning the beast while Kim here, kept on chopping it toes off.It was too much for fingerling that he fainted. Unfortunately,the creature controlled my flames against us that we had to save our lives.I never knew that Henry could run so fast."
Everyone was amazed by the tale,"I think that Kim will even start wearing shirts from today on."He continued,all the young knights laughed out loud at this.But Kim didn't mind them ,he sat on his own table drinking a cold grape wine.Still without a shirt.No one knew the reason why he never wore one.Some boys even thought that he wanted to show off his muscular torso and snatch their girlfriends from them.This caused almost all the boys to have a grudge on him.Unlike Kim, who would always keep quiet, Jack was so social that everyone in the palace knew him.He couldn't shut up.
"YOU COCKY BRAT! I know that that's all a lie!"Sam shouted as he slammed the huge metallic cup he held on his hand on the table.The liquid in it was forced out wetting Jack on his pair of trousers.
"Look what you did you piece of nothing!"Jack screamed as he stood up ready to hit Sam on the face.Sam had prepared for this as he moved away from the table and stood in a fighting position clenching his fists.
"What do you think you are doing! I'll melt your filthy face in a way that no one will be able to locate your nose!"His hands lit up in flames as he said this.This forced everyone to move away from the two as they didn't want to get involved.The ability that Jack had was the reason why many feared him.
"Oh yeah?! Bring out your best hot dog!"Sam replied in annoyance and rage as he pulled one of his chains that were coiled on his left.
Just as Jack was about to throw a fire punch towards Sam,the doors to the canteen opened,and an old man in golden armour walked in."This isn't the time you two.You will kill each other after we have dealt with all the kingdom's problems."It was a martial rank knight.
"The king needs you all at the arena at this moment."
