Leonard motioned his son to sit beside him and addressed the nobles. As Alex took his seat Leonard introduced the nobles to him one by one.
Leonard looked at them and said," Alexander, once I told you'll meet children of your age. They're the ones, they will be your companions or friends. Although their primary task is your safety ".
The four nobles kneeling in front of the throne with their children stood up and one by one introduced themselves," Greetings your highness, I'm Darius von Ironheart, the Earl of Blackwood county and this is my third son, Triston von Ironheart ".
The boy bowed a little and introduced himself," greetings your highness ", the man next to him also spoke," Greetings your highness, I'm Randall von Balor, I'm the viscount of Vindril viscounty and this is my second son Henris von Balor ". Then the man next to him who looks like an athletic build said," greetings your highness, I'm Fredrick von Storm, the count of Stormrun city, and this is my third daughter, Lela von Storm".
Then the man next to him who appears to be somewhat lean compared to others said," Greetings your highness, I'm Vandall von Claudius and this is my fourth daughter, Clara von Claudius ", the next kid next to him bowed down while Alex nodded and greeted them with a smile," Greetings everyone ".
The king in the side looked at Alex and said," Alexander, they will your team or your companions or knights, it's your choice. But they're the ones who will be with you and guard you from now on. Get along with them. Why don't you go and have a talk with them. You only met few children of your age until now. I'm sure you'll get along with them quite easily ".
Alex nodded and said," I'll show them around the castle ", he looked at them with a smile and said," come on, let's go ", he trotted away from the room with them while the throne room atmosphere suddenly shifted. A serious and authorities aur filled the room as the king asked," have any of you found the traces of Black Sky organisation?".
Meanwhile Alex who took them outside started showing them everything around and chatted with them about their territories and all when a shadow tackled him before he can react. The four took out their swords while the girl who tackled Alex sat on his stomach and said with a pout," Alex you dummy. You broke the promise, we're supposed to play. Aunt Leno is super mad at you. She goes to her room to bring out her stash of fluffy clothes against you ".
Alex looked at hilde and said," oooph, Brunhilde, father called me and the lords of mang lands arrived. Here meet their children. The one with black hair and brown eyes is Triston von Ironheart. The one with red hair and green eyes is Henris von Balor. The girl with black hair and purple eyes is Lela von Storm and the girl with silver white hair and blue eyes is Clara von Claudius. They'll our new friends from now on in the castle ".
Brunhilde gazed at them and narrowed her eyes at the two girls and said," heh, boys are boring. I'll stick with the girls. And you better run I think. Aunty Leno is also saying she has a tea party with some ladies. Maybe it's their mothers. She also said she will dress you up as a punishment for forgetting the promise ".
Alex flinched and wanted to run but then a hand grabbed his collar and stopped. The other kids immediately kneeled while the woman said," at ease children. I'm here for my son and deliver him proper punishment. Hilde will guide you around the castle. Hilde don't forget to come to the team party. Ladies of four houses are here today. Your mother is already with them. I'll join soon too. Be sure bring them too ".
Alex wailed in arms as she put him on her shoulders like a potato sack and carried him away from there. Hilde smirked and said," take your time aunt Leno. Be sure to put him in a dress that's suits him well ", hilde smiled and turned to them, she grabbed the hem of her skirt and introduced herself with a small bow," well with that out of the way. I'm Brunhilde von Advalon, the first daughter of Duke Robert von Advalon ".
