Chapter 46: Chapter 46
Arslan and Hero walking in the city and Arslan speaks to Hero
“All this happened because of me. If only I didn't believe that princess Quinn. I don't know what to think, the only thing I Know is I Love her with a passion of my heart and even though we can't be together anymore to unforeseen circumstances however she did go against all odds for me, just to rescue me" Arslan sad face as he recalls pieces of memory of the princess kindness flashing across his mind.
" Can we see the princess. I need to find away to see her. i no she can’t escape because of her brother and mother even though she is strong. i have to find a way to rescue her"
"Rescue? Hero looked at me surprised , he touched my neck,
"I see, you are really sick? you know you have 15,000 gold on your head and if you going to died. let me sell you and take the gold please" Hero commented laughing but all he could hear was Arslan muttering words to himself. She is strong but her brother and mother will be killed. I believe it's the only reason why she has not drawn out her sword. She is scary and super strong, but she can't save herself. Hero looks at him more seriously
"I don't know what happened to both of you but I can tell you really love her. if she mean that much to you, while hesitate, go for her, love conquers all. I can help with the little information I know" Arslan held unto hero happily at the sound of Hero words. Bumi covered in her hood walking behind them a distance watching the duo talk.
"Those two idiots, am I definitely sure he is talking about how to save the princess, Roland would kill me for this"
" Well" Hero continued" some guard knows me, so perhaps with a little bribe, we should be able to see her and find out want really happened, anyway here, I have some interesting piece of information for you. my father and i were summoned to the palace to report about our finds. Prince Darius in collaboration with the Royal Palace are hosting a general tournament in seven days, everyone is allowed to participate and winners will be given gold’s, and be granted one wish. The reason was because the prince wants to find strong people from the tournament to go on expedition to killed the rampaging dragon before it reach the borders of our city and " Hero kept quiet for few seconds as he takes a deep breath,
"This will be shocking for you but listen
princess Felicia's family will be part of winning prize to be won. In other words, if a peasant or noble wins, the queen Felicia's mother will be given as sex slave to anyone who wins the event and her mother will witness the execution of her only daughter at the end of the tournament '' Arslan eyes widened
"Well we have to see my father. He was summoned to the Royal Palace along other noble men and I would attend the meeting. He will leave in two days from now , I can speak to him and we can go him to the palace, but you have to wear a better disguised “said Hero
"You are not going anywhere" A familiar voice spoke behind them, they slowly turned their face to the person standing behind them Bumi" Arslan spoke.
"Yes, bumi, after all the princess and her family had done to you. you are still crazy enough to go into the Lion’s den to see her in chain knowing how important you are, hell no" Bumi walked past brushing over them "
"Wait, Bumi, I Know it is crazy but I still love her and don't forget I would have died, if not for her"
"Saving you, I would have save you, you know full well that Roland would never allow our so called prince Arslan die without a fight for the throne but as for love, it is crazy" Bumi spoke
"Wait, what are you talking about? Questioned Hero
"What's the talk of crown prince and throne coming from?" Bumi slaps front of her face
"I have just said to much" Bumi tsk my mouth
"Am waiting for you, well fill me him?
"Promise to keep it a secret" said Arslan
"But, you I am an information broker and keeping secrets is not my strongest suit. I like gossip and telling other people about their miserable life"
Arslan slaps the front of his face in frustration
"Then, how do you expect me to tell you and you are telling me that right in front of me and that so encouraging me to tell you my secret" Arslan remark with is eyeball twitching
"OK, let just tell him, Arslan his the grandson of the previous king and he is in love with the princess, the daughter of same very man who tried to murdered his entire family and he is on a quest to get himself king by the children of the same man who tried to killed him '', Arrrrrraghhh! shouted Bumi, it is complicated
'' Wow, who ever came up with this wicked plot story must be wicked and a hungry writer '' Hero commented
''See, he doesn't believe '' Arslan said to bumi
'' Well, let’s plan for the meeting with my dad and then go to the palace and the rest we figure it there after'' Hero and I later was able to convince Bumi to join in the crazy plan of ours on a condition that I must be trained on magic from where I stopped and then we both planned our departure for the next day and later that evening I decided to have my training, the next day, night quickly broke into day light and here Arslan squeezed his eyes open ready to go through an extraordinary efforts to fight for the one he loves. He decided that he would join the tournament to come, with that resolve and certainty in his mind, Arslan stood up ready for the day.
