New chappy!

What had he gotten himself into?
Allen stood stalk still for a few seconds to comprehend what had just happened. He watched as the emotions throughout the market went from indifferent to fear. However, the person who saved him seemed to be the most different, the man was not like the others around him. For one, he wore his hair long and without a cover unlike most people who would at least cover their mouths.
Sounds of approaching camels came and soon the whole royal army surrounded Allen, the guard, and the two obviously foreigners. Once the camels stopped, a man with black hair and tanned skin jumped off of one of the camels and slithered his arms around Allen's waist.
"You have been very bad Your Highness, sneaking away in the middle of the night." the man said. Allen curled his upper lip in distaste and tried to get out of the man's grip.
"Neah, please. Let go of me." Allen exasperated. Neah smirked and unwound his hands, but lingering just long enough to get the younger boy to glare at him. Kanda on the other hand found the scene in front of him disgusting, there was no reasoning behind it other than pure lust.
"Well now that his Highness has been rescued, we better be on our way." Kanda said as he grabbed the back of Lavi's vest and turned to leave. However, he was stopped when the guards moved in their way.
"Not so fast boys. You may not want to be here but you were the ones to help the Prince and as such we should give you something as a token of our gratitude." Neah said as he stepped closer to both Kanda and Lavi who were desperately trying to hide the stolen lamp. Kanda scowled and pulled out his sword once again, placing it at the man's throat.
"Get out of our way or all of your men along with your Prince will be sliced into many pieces." Kanda growled. Allen on the other hand took a step back before making a loud whistle. At the sound of the whistle both Neah and Kanda turned to see what was going on and were surprised to see a golden hawk land on the Prince's shoulder.
"Stop this bickering at once. Neah, get your men back to the palace. And you two will be coming with me back to the palace to get your reward from my father, now move it!" Allen ordered before marching off towards the palace. Lavi looked at Kanda with confusion written all over his face.
"Why is he mad?" the redhead asked but received no reply except the harsh pull on his vest. The royal guards escorted both Kanda and Lavi to the palace which was rich in decor. The walls were painted with golds, ruby reds, sapphire blues, and emerald greens. The paintings circled around columns and seemed to tell a hidden story.
Then the two were taken into the throne room where the Sultan himself sat with a smile, sitting next to him was Allen who wore a less pleasant expression.
"You two men must be the ones who saved my son from that horrible merchant." Sultan Mana exclaimed happily, hopping off of his throne to inspect both Lavi and Kanda; much to their chagrin. Allen sighed and made to get up but was pushed back down by Neah's strong hand.
"I won't be letting you out of my sight again, you naughty boy." Neah whispered into the white-haired boys ear and moved his index finger down the boy's spine. Allen jerked back and glared at his father's supervisor before getting up and heading towards the doors that led to the hallway. But yet again his escape was thwarted by his father who called him over to the two men.
"Yes father?" Allen asked with a smile.
"What do you think of these two, the one with the red hair is quite good with languages while the other seems to be good at anything with fighting?" Mana asked with a goofy grin. 'This won't be good.' Allen thought once he recognized the smile that his father had. It was the smile that meant there was an ulterior motive in his plans.
"They um... could be good guards?" Allen gave for an answer. Mana seemed to like this and gave both the men a hard pat on their backs.
"Allen, these two will be your personal guards until I think they have earned their stolen lamp back." Mana exclaimed while holding up the golden lamp from the market place. Kanda's eyes widened in shock and he checked his pockets.
"How the hell did you get that from me?" Kanda yelled. Mana just smiled and went back to his throne.
"As the Sultan, I order you two to be my sons guards until he is married. Now be off with you." Mana exclaimed before waving his son and his two guards off. Allen stood with wide eyes. 'They're my new guards? Lord help me!' he thought before sighing and going to his room.
