Rahaya~
It's another day in Sersey .
I wake up and I hate everything . I hate my life , the noise coming from outside , from the hawkers , from the market and I can already smell the smoke from the local kitchens but my stomach grumbles at the smell maybe I'll get a fried fish for breakfast. I mean I don't even have the choice to varieties.
It's 5:00 a.m. and the whole of Sersey is awake . As the commander of The Guards, i have a lot of responsibilities, The Queen's soldiers can't protect Sersey to save their lives . The Queen knows this but she loves that it gives her a sense of power over people's lives. She thinks she deceives the people with her "I care for my people"talk.
Since she refused to dissolve the "Queen's soldiers" , the king had to create another way of protection for Sersey or should I say for himself , in case he somehow started a war , at least he was self aware of his lack of common sense and restraint . And so he created The Guards . He couldn't fight or anything or had one athletic bone in his body but he found the greatest fighter in all of North Sersey and made him gather teams of people like him , it made him feel like a master mind because truly creating The Guards was his greatest decision for security .
The man he chose to create the troop was General Kamsin Hole and that same general would kill me if I was late to training.
I get to training and I walk up to the general and the first person I see him talking to is Kale Feathermore , One of the Pardoned .
The Pardoned are people who's ancestors were close to the Royal family and theyre relationship runs a long while back till date .
They are plainly commoners in high places , they have connection so they do what they want without repercussion . They forget the rest of the world (commoners) and turn away from their crimes , disappointing the people who think a commoner like them in high place can bring favour to them and change but no , people like Kale dine with Royals and drink red juicy wine with only thoughts of luxury .
He is hated by ninty percent of North Sersey minus the people who still believe in him and his influence. Fools they are . I mean even citizens of South Sersey hate him .
I try to join the conversation and to my surprise Kale doesn't stop me like he usually tries to .
"You should let the third Prince join , it is what the Queen wants , it is her Order". Kale says . What does he mean.
" I'm confused . Join what?". I question.
" The Guards". He answers with such simplicity like it is right , like it is normal .
"THE GUARDS"?!?. I shout when I finally understand that he is being serious , my outburst draws attention and I smile to my troop to let them continue training.
" You have to be kidding me . General, are you going to allow this ?". I ask even though I know the answer but wish it not true .
" There is nothing we can do Rahaya, It is the Queen". He replies.
" He is right" . Kale concurs .
" But the King created The Guards , she has no right to just add anyone , why doesn't she put him with her soldiers?". I try to reason with closed minds and Kale snorts . The pig.
" It is not anyone it is the Prince and you know more than anyone how better you are than her Soldiers". Kale tells me .
" But you are one of two who commands her soldiers , are you not?. You know what this means to me , to the people of Sersey but you want to bring an incompetent Prince who has never lifted a hand in his life here ?".
" Watch your mouth Rahaya , he is your Prince and you can be killed for uttering those words". Kale, I hate him.
"Both of you , stop. Now is not the time for arguments . Rahaya we cannot refuse the Queen's wishes but we can do our best to fulfill them and I hate that as much as you do but we have no choice , I mean he'll be an outcast here and for the first time in his life he'll have to earn respect, I mean he might quit himself?". General Kamsin lectures, he is right . The prince will probably quit before the week ends , I hope he's not a stubborn one.
I nod my head and turn to leave until Kale mutters what I never knew was my worst nightmare
" You'll specially train him ".
"Leave me out of this , Kale".
" Remember the Queen wants the best , early morning trainings before the rest joins ".
"Training already starts by 5:00am". This COW!!
" Then push it back to 6:30 , spend an hour and 30 minutes with the Prince everyday ". Kale says and just before I insult his entire existence he smirks and walks away .
I look at my General, glaring at him and I walk away just before he speaks .
Damn the Royal family , The Queen especially and the Prince and KALE!!!!!.
