Chapter 2 - Royalty

All warfare is an art of deception ~Sun Tzu

I woke up to the roses and sunflowers placed around my bed.

A girl clad in a maid dress stood besides my bed,she was beautiful and angelic ,her face white as snow ,and her skin soft as talc.

"Oh my, master what will you have today?"

"Cold..."

"What,I didn't quite hear you,master?"

"Shit,what this smell and why is my body wet?"splashes of water were poured on me and I instantly woke up.

"So much for my nice dream" I murmured.

"Get your ass up slave,I can't believe I was tasked with looking after you" the yellow hair guy complained .

I quickly surveyed my environment and notice I was in a stable ,so this where those weird smell came from,talk about a turn off.

"Would you quit daydreaming,the king request of you"

"Leave me alone, I'm exhausted"

"Sigh...," he wailed about to pour a bucket of water on me.

"Alright I'll go"

Dressed not so much as a nobleman but not so much also as a peasant I was invited to the king's castle .

The king's castle,it's interior design possess intricate arts that cannot be done by a mere beginner,the walls painted beautifully that it could be said all talented artist and painters in the world had taken part in it's design,truly a masterpiece of the ages.

The hallway lined with blue roses evenly distributed at it centre.

The throne sits at the far back of the castle,plated in gold around the edges and diamond as it main component.

Talk about richness,even the Ai clan could not afford these things,truly a wonderful palace.

I met the king,what can I say,a man with aura,all beneath him trembles with fear,his eyes are pure crimson when stared at feels like daggers are been thrown towards you.

"My lord, you requested him?"

"How good are you in tactical battles?,I wish to conquer every corner of the earth" not sparing a single glance at the soldier before him, the king spoke to me

"See as it may be my lord, for I wish that you put me to test and see my usefulness "

"Very well then, you shall lead my soldiers as the vice commander"

"Whaaat"not hiding his astonishment,the young man besides me screamed

"Be as you wish my king ,I will very well be pleased to serve you"bowing with the hand sway and knee I replied.

"I'll inform the commander, you may dismiss"

"And also, Stephen you are to feed the horses for ten days for your interruption"

"Yes my lord" I can't believe I feel bad for this guy,but anyways that's an order I can't refute.
