Both Princes left the Library and started walking down the Hallway.
"Haaa..!!"someone Exclaimed,"It's First Prince Youie!!"The person continued with an exaggerated expression.
The person that Exclaimed was a Noble Lady from one of the Noble Families in the Empire, to the left of the Princes, at the other side of the Hallway, stood about 7 Noble Ladies that were glancing at Youie while blushing and whispering among themselves behind their stylish handfans.
"He's so Handsome"...,
"Totally my type... Oh my Gawd.."
They kept Whispering then suddenly someone glanced at Gil.
"Look, it's Second Prince Gilmesh"Another one of the Noble Ladies said.
"Ughh.. so skinny and weak looking, A complete contrast to The Fit and refined First Prince Youie."Another Whispered with a hint of disgust.
Although they were whispering, it could still be heard by the two Princes, Youie Placed his hand on Gilmesh's Shoulder and shook his head as he Glared at the Ladies who quickly dispersed from where they were standing.
With a sigh, they both continued to walk out of the Hallway, some minutes later, they walked into one of the many Training rooms they had in the Castle.
This Training room looked just like a Dojo, it had many equipment in it, Equipments like, Wooded Dolls to practice attacks on, Wooden weapons like swords, spears etc and so on. Youie walked towards two wooden swords that looked like Katanas and pick them up, he threw one at Gilmesh in which Gilmesh caught with his right hand.
"Alright, since We'd be training you on how to use a sword, we'd practice with these wooden ones.. Let's get started shall we?"Youie asked with a calm smile.
Gilmesh nodded and walked towards the Mat placed in the middle of the room, to signify a type of platform for Duels, Youie did the same thing and now they're both standing about 15 meters away from each other.
Without saying anything, they both charged at each other.
"Arrghhh"Gilmesh Bellowed as he raised the Wooden sword above his head while rushing towards Youie for an attack.
"Too slow and predictable"Youie said as he blocked the the wooden sword with his own while placing his left hand on his waist.
Gilmesh pulled his sword back and proceeded with an Horizontal Slash from the left hand side, aiming for Youie's ribs.
"Good, try to put in a little more strength"Youie commented as he parried the attack to his left and thrusted his sword forward, the tip of the Wooden sword stopped right in front of Gilmesh's forehead.
Gilmesh was already breathing heavily after just three exchange of moves.
"You need to work on improving your stamina a lot brother, rest a little and we'd try again, I have all the time for you today."Youie said with a smile.
- A few minutes Later, Gilmesh stopped breathing heavily and seemed to have gotten a hang of himself again so they continued with their training.-
- 3 Hours later, The Two had fought for over 18 times now and Gilmesh took breaks in between to recover his Stamina, After each fight, the time taken for Gilmesh to recover his Stamina increased by a large margin.-
"Huff..Huff..Huff"Gilmesh was breathing heavily.
"I think that is enough for today."Youie said.
*BARGE*
The sound of the double doors slamming on the other side of the room resounded out as someone barged into the room.
"Your Highness, First Prince Youie and Second Prince Gilmesh, Forgive me For the intrusion but I bring onto you Urgent news."The servant who rushed in said.
"Speak"Youie commanded.
"The Mother of Second Prince Gilmesh has just put to birth"The servant said quickly.
"Haha, that's great news, I thought it'd be after Your Test that's coming up in four days time..."Youie laughed loudly,"You can go"He continued.
The Servant stood up and left, Youie then turned to look at Gilmesh that was standing behind him with His eyes Practically Glittering.
"Haha, Why are you standing there acting like you are the Father?"Youie Teased.
"Big Brother it's not that, Mom just gave birth and Dad we'd be there, they'd both be happy to Have a new child, maybe, just maybe they might be happy to see me when I go there too"Gilmesh said excitedly.
"You bet they would be. Now go freshen up, I'll visit Your mom sometime later. Seek me out if anything bad happens, though I'm sure nothing bad would happen as it should be a happy moment for everyone."Youie smiled and walked out of the training room. Gilmesh did the same thing, quickly going to his Room to Take a bath and Change his Clothes before rushing of to the Delivery Chamber.
*In The Delivery Chamber*
"WuuWuu" "WuuWuu"
Standing in front of a Bed was a Man with a Newborn child in his arms, the man was An Handsome Man around his Mid 30's with long Dark Green hair and black eyes, a muscularly fit and huge man around 6'9 in height. The man's Face was scrunched up in disappointment as he was staring at the Child in his arms.
'Damn it!, A girl again!!'The man screamed in his head, anger was currently swelling in him.
The crying child he was holding was a girl with Black hair cute little nose and plump round lips, she had her eyes closed so one couldn't see the colour of her eyes.
"My... My Emperor, I promise to give you another one, another boy this time around, that would be strong and healthy and will listen to every of your words without Fail unlike the First Prince, so please forgive me for birthing a useless Daughter that you already have enough of my Emperor" The woman on the Bed said with Tears running down her eyes.
The woman on the Bed was around her Late 20s in age and had Long black curly hair and black Pearly eyes.
*CREAK*
*TAP..TAP..TAP...TAP*
The door that led into the Delivery Chamber opened up and a skinny Boy, no more than Six years old with Black hair with little Grey patches and black eyes clad in blue Robes walked towards the Emperor who still had his eyes on the Baby in his Hands.
"D...da...Dad?? Ca..n I ta...ke a look at the ba..by?"Gilmesh's voice was shaky as it was laced with fear while standing in front of the Emperor.
The woman in the bed was still crying and didn't even bat an eye at Gilmesh, her Gaze was focused on the Emperor.
Seeing that he got no reply, Gilmesh raised his Hand to collect the Baby from his Father as he asked again "Father, Can I see my Sibling now?"
His Palm touched the Emperor's Robe and something shocking happened next.
"How dare you touch me, You WORTHLESS CHILD!!"
*Woosh*
"Wah..??" *SWOOSH**BAM**BANG*CRACK*.
It happened so fast that even Gilmesh wouldn't have reacted in time, As the Emperor said those words, he dropped the Baby in his arms without any care of what would Happen to her, Gilmesh who noticed the movement in his Fathers Hands quickly Bent down and caught the baby but at the Same time, the Emperor's Large palm slammed his head and sent him flying, still with the baby in his arms, Gilmesh crashed into the wall not too far from where he was standing, forming cracks all over it and blood could be seen having stained the wall, but the child was still safe in Gilmesh's arms.
