Prologue

A soft spring breeze floated through the castle training grounds. Two young boys no older than seven sit looking on at the knights training. The first of the two wore a red princely top with gold accents along the sleeves and white pants, his brown hair looked as if someone had poured caramel on top of it making two colors and brown eyes that looked like belonged to a puppy. The second boy wore less flashy style of clothing, his pale blue shirt was mostly hidden underneath chain mail that hung a bit over his brown pants, the boys spiky blue hair seemed wild in comparison to his calm green eyes.

"So Johan how's training going so far?" Asked the red clad boy looking to his friend.

"It's tough, but it's worth being able to be with you Judai" The boy called Johan laughed. "What about your studies? How are they going?"

"Horrible!" Judai pouted falling back into the grass. "I swear Cronos was about to hit me with that dumb book of his last time fell a asleep in the middle of his lecture on my my ancestor's victories in battle."

"Again? You really need to work hard to be a good prince otherwise it will come back to bite you later" He groaned.

"I know but he makes it sound so boring, besides I'm a lot better at the sword fighting classes. At least during those I get to have fun and go outside."

"You sound like you would rather be knight than prince." Johan chuckled.

"Well Noire is known as the Kingdom of Heroes, and I'd rather spar and fight all day than be stuck inside surrounded by books" Judai said with a goofy grin.

"I think being a prince is far more important than being a knight. Sure it's not as exciting, but I'd rather have you as our future king than anyone else."

"Well then how about a promise then?" He asked.

"What kind of promise?"

"I'll promise to work hard to become the best prince I can be, but only on one condition" Judai proclaimed sitting back up.

"And that condition would that be?"

"You have to work hard to be the best knight you can be, and you have be my personal knight when I'm officially crowned prince" He smiled holding out his hand for the other to shake. "So do we have a promise?"

"That's two conditions but yeah, I promise" Johan laughed shaking the prince's hand forming a vow that would last for the following ten years.
