Chapter 48: Chapter 48
"Savannah, Arslan called"
Arslan shape shirting into a giant white blue wolf groaning at Bumi who slides down two blades. At the mention of begin by Roland. The duo swifty race towards each other fighting each other. Few days later. Arslan concluded his first training fighting at the top of the mountain. After several simulations of fighting. The duo told Arslan to prepared to fight the dragon serpent queen guarding king Oregon's sword. Bumi taught Arslan all he neither to know about sword and more and quickly the day came when he had plan to meet with Hero and his father. Roland helped with mirage magic to disguise Arslan 's face and Arslan came to Hero's house, a mansion with well carved statues and beautiful gardens and in front was a carriage with two green creatures similar to dragon in front.
A blonde chubby tall man with thick blonde mustache and beard on a blue royal robe walking out from the house. I was wondering who he might be when a familiar head pops out of the from the door.
''Sup Arslan ,Put this on" Hero swiftly thrown a butler clothes at me as he smiles.
“Let me introduce him to you, this is my Father, Baronet Von Don GIOVANNI" The man shaking my hand speaks
" I heard you wants to serve as butlers in today’s noble ball event”.
"Huh? Hero winks at me, what is he planning? guess he did not tell his father what our agenda for visiting the royal capital. I put on the clothes, it was a butler suit of black pant, a white selves, a red bow tie, a black waist coat vest.
I climb upon the carriage car as it drives down the road taking a detour to the affected villages at the out skit of Qing, we rode past villages, manions, and we rode through certain villages, the citizen of the village were burnt alive, burnt dead bodies and building burnt to the ground. Hero began to vomit from the carriage car as he watched the horrors of their body. We saw slaves and slave merchant carting young girls in shackles and chains.
"What do you think happened to this village? I questioned Hero,
"It was the black dragon i told you about" Hero’s father spoke. It part of the reasons why we were called to the Royal capital, long ago, human, Demi human and shapeshifting dragons were close having a some kind of understanding due to king Oregon unity but suddenly the dragons disappeared from the world many years and suddenly they reappeared and began to attack Demi humans and humans burning down city's and the king of Gondor suddenly wage war invading other kingdoms and he aim his fangs on three great kingdoms, to create peace for our kingdom. king Marcus and the court made marriage agreement for princess Felicia to marry the crown prince but Gondor had their own plans. princess Felicia opposed and refused the marriage but the king force her to that's why the rumors and agitation against the princess claims that she killed the king for this reason but I do not agree to this. Princess Felicia was a kind princess though hated by many, she kept helping others and i think that's what i call strength but Gondor has brotherly conflicts of their own.
"Conflict? I questioned ''is it not customary for the first born to be crowned crown prince?
"Normally, it suppose to be the first born but the king thinks differently, the first born prince used to very arrogant and too extravagant in spending before he began to change and man up to rack achievement and to worse it all. The eight princes of were born the same day.
"Same day ! Surprise look on our faces?
"Yes, same day, see the king of Gondor married many ladies but none was able to give him a child. The king was so unhappy, rumor has it that a powerful wizard came to the king and offer the king children with his dark magic however for a price. The princes when grown must fight different kingdom waging war and achieve great fit in battle. The one with most achievement will rule and he will be by the kings side until his wish is fulfilled and truly when they were grown, the king wage war and then allowed is sons each to lead in battle with their personal knight and army.
The king Marcus could wage war however our king is afraid of Gondor military strength and when we found out that the new army of Gondor suddenly became strong, their helmet and weapon could break swords and shatter arrows. It took ten of our elite skilled men to bring down one unskilled knight, their armor was so frighteningly powerful that it was similar to that of a dragon's body. We don't know how but will believe that the wizard was behind their strength and then, dragons suddenly went rampage devouring any city and kingdoms they went and our kingdom was not out of it. The last dragon battle with the knight of reveals that their bow and arrow was powerless against the dragon and so we came to believe that there is a connection between the berserk dragons and Gondor kingdom".
The carriage car drove road through various burnt city and villages, and the sun began to fade into the night and then we finally approach the royal capital. With the help of Hero's father, hero and I met with the chief butler who assigned duties and task to me and one of those task was to filled red wine into a wooden jar and cup of various sizes and finally the day came to an end.
The sun rising filtering light into a large hall with huge royal curtains, decorated candle sticks and beautiful design tables. I paraded the palace with my butler outfit trying to know about our surroundings and how we would save princess but I was quite naive as it was heavily guarded with men in silver armor armored to teeth. Three nobles watched me as Hero and i talked friendly. I noticed and assumed that they were angry that i was freely talking to a noble. So i gave hero a distance.
Finally the ball began and we serve drinks to noble men. I continued to serve drinks while Hero bribe the guards for information in regards to were Felicia was imprisoned. I prayed i don't come across Quinn because I wasn't feeling too confident about my disguises. I peacefully standing in the midst of a crowd and finally Hero came to give me the piece of information.
I was about to turn when I felt a presence behind me
Slash!
I felt cold wine pouring down from my head to my vest. I turn looked three idiots laughing at me. My eyes widened when i saw Jake the noble son was part of them.
