Note: Takes place after chapter 74 when Zen, Kiki, and Mitsuhide are on there way to Winstal castle
They where on there way to Winstal castle, Zen with his white stallion, and his two Aides Kiki and Mitsuhide close behind. As they where galloping gallantly the prince motioned for them to halt "let's take a rest here, where almost there" The place they rested was a small meadow with a stream for the horses to drink. The three friends rested enjoying each others company for a small while. Until a grumble was heard from the road ahead, the three drew their swords and where surrounded within minutes.
Six men on horses surrounded the Prince and his friends. The mens attire made them seem to be of status. the leader of the six had dark brown hair, a slimmer face, almond skin and cold black eyes. He spoke first with a sly smile "Well if it isn't Prince Zen Westellia." And in an even more condescending manner added "Coming to save Winstal castle from it's power diminishing state and take back the land the nobles have, 'stole' I presume?"
The prince had a sickened expression on his features "Just what do you want" The man snickered jumping off his horse, "Well you see, those nobles that you've come to put in their place. Have sent their knights." And gesturing around to his comrades he added gracefully "Us."
Mitsuhide spoke up this time "We want no harm, I'm confident we can come to an agreement" The leader and the other 5 let out hardy laughs, "Where're the knights, not the peace keepers!" The man cleared his throat and ceased his laugher "Now we could do this the easy way, or the hard way."
Zen was still on guard but held a disgusted yet intrigued expression "What's the easy way?" The dark haired boy stepped closer to the prince with challenging eyes "You come with us to our base." Zen's griped tighter on his sword has he remained in eye contact "And the hard?" The leaders smirk grew has he reached for his own sword.
"Your gonna find out."
Swords flew in the air as the leader made his first move toward Zen. Almost immediately all the men jumped off their horses and unleashed their weapons. Kiki and Mitsuhide where holding there own against the four knights as Zen took on the leader.
The two being excellent swords men creating a difficult fight. There swords clashed and stayed for a moment while the head knight spoke "We understand how much your country means too you Prince, but let me make this clear" using more force against Zens sword "We will not lose."
Zen snickered as the head knight jumped back quickly, just as Zen opened his mouth to speak he felt a large force hit the back of his head. And he was on the ground.
