In the dark forest.
"Wh who are you?."
"Me? I am an adventurer . The name is Henry."
"Are you the first captain."
"Yes i am."
"Here let me help you.
Now lets put some medicine on the wounds."
"No. No . Forget about me you must save the prince. "
"Don't worry about the prince i will bring him safely."
With a panting voice
"Captain hear you are."
The first rank soldier returned to his captain.
"What are you doing here.what about the army."
"Don't worry about them they are out in the savanna."
"And you are mister."
"Oh, i am Henry ,just an adventurer. "
"Thank you for saving captain."
"Okay now that a help is here i will get going."
With a passed out captain on his shoulders the soldier asked Henry.
"Where are you going now."
"Me? I am going to save the prince."
"Oh yes, there was the prince too.
But he was kidnapped. So be careful on your way."
"Okay i will."
'Will he really be okay. I must not think of that . I must rush to town to get more reinforcement'
After a few minutes.
Somewhere deep in the forest.
With a tied up prince in front of him the kidnapper laughed.
"hahaha. They told that you where a genius. To think you were so weak. Hahaha."
'I don't care what happen to me. I just worry about the soldiers. They must be struggling.' Mark things to himself.

Located.
"There you are."
"Wh.what who is it."
"Me I am just... Haah i am getting so much attached to this phrase."
"Let's change it."
"You need not know that."
"What. are you an idiot. "
"What no. I am alright in my mind except for the lost memory"."Hey forget about that. I came to save the prince."
"What ,the prince. You."
"Kid you are just a peck of dust. Since i will be a noble soon i am in a good mood so get out of here while i am still nice."
"Prince wait a bit i will save you."
"I just finished saying to get out of..he..re."
Thump. The head of the kidnapper rolled down the slope with a swing of Henry's sword.
"Now lets get you."
Henry removes Mark's gag.
"Wow thanks for saving."
"Don't mention it."
A few minutes later.
"I shouldn't have thanked you."
"I would never mention it even if you asked for it."
The genius of the princes the youngest prince Mark was saved by Henry but now is hung upside down by his saviour.
"What are you doing to me . I believed that you are a good person."
"Yeah .your belief is correct, i am a good person."
"Then why are you hanging me up side down."
"Oh it's just a new technique i learned to interrogate. "
"You do not need to do this. I would have said anything you asked for."
"Really."
"Then tell me who i am. "
"Wh..what. who are you?
You are henry right."
"yes i know that."
"Then what more do you need to know".
"I need to know who is that voice and where did i come from."
"How am i suppossed to know that."
"You must know that because you're the genius and you are a bearer of this emblem.."
Henry picks out the cloth.
"What how do you posses the imperial symbol."
"It's against law to hold anything that contains the emblem of the imperial family.
Who are you?"
"Hey i am the one asked that question first."
"I really do not know that."
After a few hours.
"It seems like you do not really know who i am."
"See i told you."
"Okay you're free to go."
Henry removes the ties around Mark.
Cough cough.
"Here drink some."
"Your life it's really in the danger."
"Wh..what are you talking about."
"It's about the kidnapper."
"You heard him say too. Right"
"Yeah it was like this ever since i came out of palace."
"What .this is not your first."
"No. And i have some idea of who is the one behind this."
"You know that . and Who is that."
"It must be one of my siblings."
"Your siblings. How can they do this to their brother."
"It's because of my father's words that anyone can becom a ruler. "
"Wow that is one hell of a competition."
"After what you did to me i should not say this. But thank you."
"Keep your thanks to yourself just do me some help."
"Is this about your identity."
"Yes. I want to know who is that voice. And i want know my parents."
"Are you sure you're not a orphan."
"You brat. I know that i had a father and a mother along with a little sister."
"Okay fine i will mobilize the army which i have authority of."
"Yes do that."
"Would it hurt to say thank you."
"Hey kid it is you who is indebted to me . I saved your life."
"But after that you threatened my life."
"Well fine ,thank you . Now get up we have to get you to your father"
"What. Father? "
"Yeah a imperial degree was passed which means that your father is involved in your search."
"It's impossible. The counsil would have objected to this.And.."
"Hey stop it i do not need to hear of the politics in the kingdom."
"Yeah thats true. Okay then lets go."
The prince Mark was finally rescued.
At the town square.
"What are you saying. You're saying that you left the life of prince Mark in the hands of an adventurer?"
The commanding officer slaps the first captain. He was being condemned for his acts when the first rank officer says.
"Captain almost sacrificed his life to save us. You cannot do this."
"Is this how a rank officer speaks to his superior."
And when that superior raised his hands again.
"Stop it."
From the crowd which was standing there, a voice was raised.
"Who is that to make me stop."
"Wh..what ? It's prince Mark."
"Your prince."
The officer who was shouting at the captain kneeled down showing respect.
This was ignored by the prince. As he heads towards the first captain.
"Captain . Thank you for getting the soldiers to safety. "
"Sorry my prince I couldn't protect you."
"Did you remember what i said when i was first attacked."
"That i do not care of myself, i only care for those who are around me so i asked you to protect them. And you did it."
"My prince..".
"My soldiers here i am safe. I am sorry for being so weak . I am sorry that i was not able to do any thing for those who died because they followed me."
"But i will grow strong so that i can protect you for now i know of the sacrifice that you all have done i will remember and i will pay it back."
With these words the crowd went silent.
Then one began.
"Hail Prince Mark". "Hail prince Mark."
Which was followed by others and the street that went dead silent became so loud that the whole town could here them.
And Prince Mark was returned to the town, gaining the hearts of his soldiers and the crowd.
