"THE WINNER IS PRINCE FREDERICK KAISER!" The announcer shouts out to the roaring crowd. A tournament has just finished and I just love hearing my own name. The crowd cheers at me and throws me flowers. Duryss who is behind me covered in green iron flowers roars, in delight and slams his left hoof on the ground. This excitement coming from him shakes the ground almost making me lose my footing. I gave a quick serious stare at those who tried to laugh at me.
It is a feeling I can never get over. Winning against the best jouster in the city should impress my father. Even though he is not even at the tournament to be impressed.
My opponent Sir Elrond bows before me and said how it was a privilege that a prince from the royal family defeated him. I asked him to remove his helmet and he takes it off and his beautiful long blonde hair streams out. Many of the women in the crowd screamed as soon as they see his face. His face is almost perfect except for the scar on his left eye. Light blues eyes, his perfect white skin that has been dirtied from hitting the ground, cleft chin and masculine cheek bones. There is no doubt many men are jealous of the female attention that he receives. Hell, even I am and I have my share of women pleasure.
He then gave me an interesting stare and I gave him my hand so he can kneel and kiss my family's signature ring. I smiled at him as he gracefully walks off the stage while he is waving towards the crowd. The women are still screaming for him even after a while when he left. Some women even tried to chase him but got stopped by the guards.
The announcer begins the final speech to close the ceremony as he hands me the Warhammer of Alcuus. A large hammer that is almost the size of me and the intricate designs are based on the Iron artists of our past. It is beautiful as it glows green in my presence. The green draconium metal in my bones reacts to certain weapons and environments which can give this sort of effect. The whole hammer is made out of the green metal which is pure and raw. The only process it had is to be carved into the hammer shape. It looks similar but smaller to my fathers, which he carries with him everywhere. My basic old worn out hammer sits on Duryss's saddle. I definitely don't need that worthless hunk of junk anymore.
I grab the heavy hammer with both hands and held it above my head. The crowd roared in excitement both humans and dragons alike. The tournament is now officially over and we now get to leave. I climb onto Duryss's saddle and leave the platform first with everyone clapping and cheering while still throwing flowers.
After a while, with my guards, once we left the spectacle we started to head back to palace. The palace is located at the very top of the mountain of which it can take a long time for peasants to climb up the mountain. I'm not sure how long it takes... But I am sure it is long. Lucky for me since I am a royal family member we can use large elevators to reach the top so it does not take as long for us. The elevator was once controlled with mechanisms of gold draconium technology but since such metals don't exist anymore it was difficult for it to function without it. It would have been even better if we have portals like the Black Draconium Empire and old Empire of Gold however no matter how much we tried our green draconium metal it does not resonate well in magic teleportation. The Black Draconium Empire gives us weapons and a teleportation portal to transport to their home of Inclementia.
My great ancestor Emperor Tanzen got the idea to enslave dragons to pull the elevator instead. It worked like a charm and for a two-hundred years, dragons have been pulling these ancient elevators. It took at least ten bull dragons to pull each of these heavy contraptions, with a human controller who makes sure that the dragons do their job.
As we reached the long elevators there was a whole group of people and dragons huddled and shouting. Something is clearly wrong. My guard immediately tells me to stop and they pull out their own hammers from their sheaths from the back.
"WE ARE STARVING! WE HAVEN"T HAD A FULL DELIVERY OF FOOD IN WEEKS! WE MUST SEE THE EMPEROR" A man shouted from the crowd near the elevator. He was shouting towards the noble count Ducard who just entered the elevator. Ducards dragon Elfricard roars in defiance to try and shut anyone up and follows shortly behind his lord. Ducard just remains silent and is ignoring everyone there. The dragons who pull the massive elevator to up refused to budge. The controller began whipping them and smashing them with his hammer. The dragons tried to mag him away but he is trained to suppress mag energy so it does not affect him. The controller shouted for the dragons to get moving and he is getting more impatient waving his hammer around with full force. So much so a dragon took a huge blow to the head and collapsed. The dragon next to him shrieked as if he was crying and the rest of the dragons begin pulling the elevator up. The dragon on the floor looks dead as there is blood all over his body as it twitches. His body and his friend next to him connected by a harness is in distress which he vomits on the floor and then collapses. The dragons ahead of them who are still connected by harnesses had now the harder tasks of carrying two more heavy dead weights along with an elevator full of noble humans and dragons. Serves them slave's right... They should have never tried to revolt along with the protesters.
Some of the crowd who witnessed however immediately became restless after seeing such action and they chased after the controller. The controller fled and the guards surrounding the elevator started to attack the protestors. Spears, mag energy and hammers were being used in their full glory killing these traitors and nuisances.
I pulled my new large hammer out of its sheath glowing green in its full glory and Duryss roared huffing and heavy breathing ready for a fight. However, our guards stopped us, immediately telling us to back away and move away to another elevator that is not far off from here. Duryss roars in protest against them, even though he can speak human tongue he doesn't have too in this situation.
I am not afraid of a fight and I do not like it when other people interfere with my affairs. I should never have to move or be afraid of the lower class. The guards begging for me to move away, but the violence ahead of us, is like a beautiful song and I cannot ignore it. I love it.
However, during the protestors fighting one human managed to reach the Massive chain link that connects the dragons harness to the elevator. He climbs up the chain several feet as if was an effortless task. I started to scream for the guards to make them notice the man climbing up the elevator shaft. However, the screaming and roars block my voice out. So I decided to ride with Duryss into the crowd. Duryss crushed many people and smaller dragons through the crowd severely injuring or killing them.
I grabbed out my hammer and swung at the protestors injuring many in the process. I admit I tried my hardest to make sure not to kill them however many of these will people will be sentenced to life in slavery or death anyway.
Duryss and I reached the bottom of the shaft. The slave dragons are still pulling the elevator up. "Mag me!" I commanded Duryss and he obliged. With a burst of green magnetic energy, a stream materializes from Duryss. Which connects with me and lifts me high above to try and reach the man. However, as I almost reached him I noticed he was carrying a bright red box. It was made out of Red Draconium.
It was a Red Draconium explosive. The man accidentally knocked the box on the massive chain causing the case to crack. But he did not notice as he still kept climbing. The box began to glow brightly and it looked like it was beginning to burn. The man began to yell as he was lit on fire and the draconium box started to glow even brighter.
I immediately yelled at duryss to bring me down and he does as quickly as he can. However, as soon as I landed back onto my saddle a massive explosion happened from where the man was. Metal bars, fire, dirt and rocks blew out, landing on everyone below. It was deafening and everything went silent even though it was clear everyone was screaming around me.
Then soon after the explosion another loud noise happened. It was just as loud as the explosion since I have lost my hearing I managed to hear it and the shaking of the ground it caused. I felt disoriented but Duryss is managing to get a hold off himself very quickly. He took me and rode towards my guards who are still fighting. My hearing eventually cleared up and began to think normally again.
My Brother's soldiers have appeared to rectify the situation and it ended quickly. In their full green armour and large dragons who are also in green armour. The protestors immediately stopped and lifted their hands up. My eldest brother Grand Prince Arman Kaiser appeared. Heir to the Iron Crown and Green Draconium Empire.
He's a soft idiot.
"Please drop your weapons protestors... I wish to not shed further bloodshed".
He is well-liked with the people as they dropped their weapons. Many of the soldiers arrested them and are taking them up the other elevator which is located on the other side of the mountain. When the dirt settled the damage could fully be realized... The massive chain link broke from the explosion which made the elevator collapse. Inside the elevators is a pile of corpses. Ducard, Elficard, guards and other nobles lied in their pools of blood.
If looks could kill, Arman looked at me and Duryss. He nodded in complete disappointment. However, I never needed his approval or care... It was fathers' approval that I most wanted. Arman ordered my guards to take me and Duryss by force and we all took the elevator that was closest to the one destroyed. The one that my brother descended on. Armans' dragon Endrich just looks at us like we are idiots... Endrich is Duryss's uncle and is much older than him and it shows with his size. He snorts at Duryss and chuffed.
As the elevator doors shut I knew what was going to come. With Armans request the guards did not enter with us, it was just us and our dragons. "I cannot believe you!" Arman yells at me like I'm a four-year-old. I rolled my eyes. The elevator shifts and begins its trail upwards.
"I cannot believe you and Duryss injured and killed many civilians!" His tone was serious I admit I have never heard him use this tone. Quite amazing really... He usually is soft-spoken with words and sounds like a soft idiot most of the time. He Physically he looks like our old man. Strong with large muscles, strong long legs with large feet. He is taller than me... He has a bald head but has a long black beard which is starting to grey due to his age. Green tattoos all over his arms and face that he always shows with pride. He also has tattoos around his body but it is always covered. Out of all similarities of looks, he acts nothing like father.
"Not to mention you rigged a tournament to make yourself WIN?!"
Okay, that took me by surprise. "I did not kill anyone...I injured them but I did not kill them. They attacked a controller which is against the law and one man blew up an elevator killing Ducard and his associates. A punishment that is ruled by death. After all, they are only peasants". I tried not to mention the tournament as I don't know how much info he has.
"I knew of the situation at the elevator station, father refused to tend to it so I did. I was heading there to try and appease to their problems. Unfortunately, the situation got out of hand before I got there... You did not help. Many civilians saw you two attacking the protestors. A prince who just attacks people on a whim even though he does not have too... You are not a judge Fred. You are a Prince and people should look up to you... As well that you need to keep yourself safe and don't go blindly into danger again".
I rolled my eyes again. "I look up to father... He is our leader and a powerful man. He would have like to hear what I have done!" I cannot stand Arman's continuous goody too shoo speeches.
"Sad how I believe that will be true," Arman said with sadness. For the past few years, there have been many problems in the palace surrounding my brother and father. How they never get along and how the heir to the throne is a pure mother's boy. I am not close to mother as she always preaches like Arman is doing right now. Father embraces me, unlike these idiots. I am destined for greatness they just always ignore it.
"I also like how Elrond's debts have suddenly been covered... It was so close to the deadline that he should have been preparing to leave to the war again." Arman then quickly changing the subject. He knows that I love father more than him and mother so now he, of course, is going to lecture me on something else... I just looked to Arman and he smirks a little. He thinks I'm an idiot.
"Oh, seriously Fred... You beating Sir Elrond at a tournament. That's laughable..." Arman chuckled. I gave Arman a shrug and told him to shut up. "Any normal person or dragon would have been arrested and put onto trial. Good thing you are a member of the royal family. Knowing father he will be lenient on you". I sighed and looked a bit more at him. I was really an idiot in that regard, but they will have to pry my new hammer from my cold dead hands.
We all stood in silence as we approached the higher levels on the city up the mountain. The palace was once a giant cave that was on top of the mountain. After thousands of years, it was sculptured and built to look like a palace. The main entrance of the palace cave has huge green draconium gates with two sculptures of bull class dragons on each side.
The elevator stops at the top and we all walk out. There was a large troupe of guards waiting for us to guide us back to the castle. As we approached the large gate a familiar voice is heard.
"Your Royal Highnesses thank goodness you are safe and sound!"
I look up and its one of our advisors Sir Gunter, he is standing on the observation post. He commanded the gates to be opened and they open in magnificent splendour. As the gate fully opened the palace entrance is in clear view.
Sir Gunter ran down to us as fast as he could and is quickly exhausted when he reached us. He is a very fat man... Not even handsome at that with his buck teeth, fat cheeks, small legs and feet, over pungent smell of roses, a large mole on the left of his neck near his chin that is incredibly distracting. He is also very annoying to deal with.
Duryss deliberately roars at Gunter to scare him. It never ceases to make me laugh as it always so easy to scare him. Arman and his dragon just look at us. Arman has clearly had enough of me, just as well that I have had enough of him...
We all head into the palace main hall when another few voices that I know can be heard. "Welcome home your royal highness!" as a small girl curtsied in front of Arman. It is my youngest sibling, my sister Rayna. The only daughter of my father and mother. My oldest brother who is Arman is forty-four and Rayna is ten. Arman kneels down to her level and gives her a small gift. Arman has his own family with a wife and three children. He treats Rayna as if she is one of his daughters since he believes that Rayna doesn't get as well treated like the rest of us. It is unusual in our empire to treat girls in special ways such as giving them an education. Some noble girls do get educated, but it not encouraged... It distracts them of the future of becoming future wives and mothers.
Rayna hugs Armon and kisses him on the cheek. "Thank you so much Arman!" She smiles happily and quickly turns to me. We only see each other at meal breaks when we are together with the family. I admit I don't even try to connect with her as there is really no need to...I am twelve years older than her and I took the choice not to be a part of her life. But I say hello to her regardless. She looks at me and the smile is clearly fake and says hello to me back. It felt awkward...
After that moment of awkwardness, we all headed to the main hall where the Iron Throne sits. The chamber is huge with all the rock pillars having a green hue that glows even brighter when we walk past. We are walking to the throne. It is the world's biggest throne made out of pure green crystal draconium and iron. Placed high on a pedestal so he can see everyone below him. With the wall carving showing how our empire was founded right behind it. It is purely majestic, I even dream of sitting and looking down at everyone as I sit on that throne. However, it is forbidden with a punishment of prison or death, even if you are a family member.
We all stand together in front of the throne and that is when we hear the large door on the right open. My father storms through with his two guards who are smaller than him. They are pretty much his drinking buddies and with fathers walking it definitely looks like he has had a few drinks. However father looks extremely pissed and I can't tell if it is aimed at me, the drinks he's had or just angry at what happened at the elevator. He stumbles slowly up the stairs, it felt like time has slowed. He finally reaches the throne and stands in front. When he faced us we all kneel and all in unison say "Your Majesty". He then sits on throne stroking his grey beard and sighs in annoyance. We all stand back up and waited for father to speak.
"LEAVE HERE GIRL! YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE!" He is pointing to Rayna. Father doesn't call her by her name she is just "the girl". I think he believes it is easier that way... He doesn't even remember what some of my brother's names are. Everyone stares down at her making it very obvious that she is not welcome. It is very clear that she is trying not to cry and she is clearly afraid of father. Arman goes down to her level once again and softly tells her to leave and she will see him at dinner. She quickly kisses him on the cheek and goes out the door which father entered which leads to the dining halls and kitchens.
"So... I take it that the protest matters have been solved Arman? Very annoying that my advisor kept on bugging me about it. Thank you for going in my stead". As father leans to right resting his head on his hand. He looks like he is trying so hard to stay awake.
"Well... sort of your majesty... Many of the protestors are asking for food, dragon equality and pay rises in the mining communities. I went as fast as I could to rectify the situation and hear their plights" Arman quickly answered. "However the peaceful protestors immediately became violent as one of the controllers needlessly killed a dragon worker. During the fight, one protester managed to ride the elevator chain and climbed himself far enough with an explosive. But it was a weapon from the Red Draconium Empire, as we found its fragments in the ruins. Raw Red Draconium which is extremely unstable at the best of times and I have ordered a few guards to take it away into quarantine. The flame of the initial explosion melted the chains and beams like lava which made the whole entire elevator structure collapse. We are not sure if he is a part of the protestors or he was an agent of The Red Empire, who just used it as a cover."
This did not even cross my mind... Could that protestor be a Red Draconium agent? The city has been so peaceful it is easy to forget that there is a war happening. Peasants are annoying as usual but the Red Empire bringing the war to our doorstep... Things are going to change drastically. Father is still stroking his beard as he is thinking of what to do.
"Torture all of the protestors that you have arrested for information. Then put them for slavery in the mines. As for the noble elevators put at least fifteen humans and five dragon guards outside each one."
"What no death penalties your majesty?" I replied back. Duryss groans very well knowing what I did is wrong. I really should have kept my mouth shut. He hates being asked questions. But I was really curious... He always sentences these people to die. Why spare them all of a sudden? Has our city workers depleted that much...
"Do not question me, boy!" He snarled back as soon as I asked. He will never answer that question. Maybe I can ask Arman later.
"But your majesty... There are only so many guards... Many of them are fighting in the war". A guard quickly pointed out. The Emperor lifted his head and realizes this. "Then order many of the guards from the lower peasant city and move them to the elevators. Our nobles must be protected at all costs, most of the peasants down there are worthless. "
"Yes, your majesty..." The guard trying to hide his hesitation.
"That is enough for today I shall take my leave and all of you go back doing whatever it is, you all are doing..." The emperor shouted as if he has no more patience anymore. A very short meeting indeed, Arman didn't even mention about me and tournament. Probably saving it for a dinner discussion or in my private quarters tonight.
I looked at Arman who is still next to me and he looked angry. His brow has furrowed and is breathing heavy. I don't really care much of what father just said but he certainly does. The Emperor stood up and we all quickly bow before him as he leaves. I tried my hardest not giggle as he keeps on stumbling down the steps. Last time a man who laughed at my father, he had his tongue cut out in front of everyone at the ball. Now no one laughs unless he laughs first, it is very awkward. When he finally left the room I hear sighs of relief and Arman requests for all the guards to leave.
It was just us two again.
"You and Duryss really need a bath... Dinner should be ready soon. I will see you at dinner" Arman and his dragon head through the massive door on the right which is the dining hall.
"Well... Today has certainly been a hell of a day" Duryss spoke in a heavy and tired tone. He has barely spoken all day but then he is a dragon of few words. Usually, its profanity while mocking or insulting someone. He learned the arts of the human tongue by the Dragon Elder Brutaris. It is hard for the dragon to master the language but it can be done. It is labelled as an ancient technique in which a few priests even care to learn about nowadays... It's a nice and lazy position to have.
"It certainly has been... You covered in dirt and blood. Let's go get ourselves cleaned up". We go our separate ways as Duryss lives on the bottom levels of the palace and I live on the higher levels. I admit Duryss is luckier than many dragons, they do not have a status like us humans do. He is called a bull class dragon who have large hooves for feet and is stocky built. Their legs are short and have large broad faces with horns on top of their heads. They are very slow at speed but they make up for it in strength. Some of these dragons can grow into massive sizes that you can call them mountains. It takes special but difficult powers and years of training to achieve such large powerful physiques. Only Duryss dreams of achieving such stature but knowing him though he would misuse it.
I placed my new hammer in my room on my weapon rack where my old one used to sit. I walked into my bathroom and called for Delphina my ever beautiful servant girl. "Yes, your majesty?" She walks in all chirpy in her see-through robe. Even though she is meant to wear a handmaiden outfit I can order her to wear whatever I like, so I make her wear something that does not have to leave up to the imagination. Although if she is out of my room to do other duties she must wear appropriate attire. Beautifully tall and slender, supple breasts, white skin, long purple hair and bright green eyes. "Get my bath ready". I ordered her and she quickly obliged. It took a while for the water to heat up as the water flow from the stream in cave palace is cold. But Delphina and I definitely did help heat up the water eventually. She washed me in the bathtub naked and it is a treat for all senses. The smell of oils and perfume clouded my mind. I needed her after such a long day. After feeling my favourite kind of relief with her, I played with her in the tub for a while longer.
"Did you have good day your highness?" She innocently asked as she played with my hair as she was on top of me. "Please don't talk..." I told her I just want the moment between us just for me to be relieved again. I can't be bothered talking about it. She did show disappointment on her face, but I don't pay for her to talk. Once we both reached our peak we lied together in the tub. When I hear the knock on the door.
"It is time for dinner your highness!" I hear Armina my other servant girl through the door. I sigh and rolled my eyes and ordered Armina to stay at the door. Delphina left the bath and started to dry herself off. I let her off for the rest of the evening. She quickly gets changed into her normal clothes and leaves saying a nice goodbye to Armina. They are both very good friends. "Hello, your highness" As she bows. She is as beautiful as Delphina but she has black wavy hair and larger breasts. She helps me get dressed in my evening clothes which are royal robes. Which consists many layers of yellow underclothes, brown pants and thick green coats with puffy shoulders. I also wear my huge arrange of jewellery which alone can weigh a dragon down.
Afterwards, I tell Armina to wait for me in my room as I would need to have her company later. I give her a quick kiss on the cheek and smack her ass. It feels so good to be clean and relieved again. I quickly race to the smaller dining room where my family waits. This is the smaller family dining room. It has a long rectangle table that can seat at least thirty people. Considering I am part of a huge family, the table is not so actually big. My father Emperor Arman is the farthest away sitting at the end on the largest iron chair that looks similar to the throne but smaller. My mother Empress Arlene is sitting to his left, my eldest brother Prince Arman the second. Since he is heir he sits to my father's right and sits on a smaller seat looking similar to father. On mothers side, I see my other brother's Bertrand, Garrick and Xavier. While on Armans side I see Rayna, William and the terror twins Hamlin and Welt. The table still feels empty because my other brothers Bhaltair, Elrik and Derrick decided to go to the war. I choose to sit next to Xavier as we get along well. Not everyone in this family gets along as we all have stubborn personalities or we just never had good communication since we are all at different ages.
I friendly punch Xavier on his right arm as he seems to have more interest in the book in front of him. "Hi, Xaver!" I screamed in his ear. Everyone looks at me since I was so loud. But at least I startled Xavier. "Hasn't anyone told you it is rude to read at the table?" Punching his shoulder again.
"Ow...Thanks, Fred. I have now lost my page". He sounded annoyed but in retaliation, he hits me back with the book. "NOT AT THE TABLE!" I hear our brother Arman shout out. I sit down and regained my composure, our meals are being prepared as we speak.
"You are late..." My father's voice sounded annoyed. "Sorry, your majesty for my lack of punctuality..." I began rethinking my actions. But to my surprise father started to laugh. His large belly laugh can be heard all throughout the castle. Everyone at the table just looked at him weirdly even mother. "However I am not mad at you Fred. I can tell by a particular skip in your step that you had fun... After today you certainly needed it. Good boy". As father lifts his wine glass. Well, look at that... He is not going to punish me for being late like everyone else usually does. But congratulates me for having sex.
Prince Arman, mother, Xavier and Rayna rolled their eyes as my other brothers laughed. "However about today Fred". My father's attitude quickly changed again. Father lets out a heavy sigh "You rigged a tournament today. Please do not make it so obvious". Just by looking at my mother and Prince Arman they really wanted to hit father and me. After all, father has a history of rigging tournaments but it is not common knowledge. At least I get to keep my new shiny hammer...
"I don't believe this father!"
Of course Arman has to say something and he continues. " What about the people Duryss and him injured or killed. During the protest riots?"
"I don't care... They disobeyed the law and you know disobey the law you are likely to get killed." Father is defending me and Arman is even more furious. He knows that he won't be able to change fathers mind about what Duryss and I did, so of course, he brings up the other matter.
"He rigged a tournament which is illegal. Don't you want us to prove our worth without cheating? Our mother clearly disapproves, just look at her face". Mother looks disappointed at me. She doesn't say many words in front of father as he usually yells at her as she cannot undermine his authority. But her looking at you alone can give you chills... Father just brushes it off and Arman is just bugging him. The only people that can annoy father is advisors that he usually ignores and Arman since he is the heir to the Iron Crown. Anyone else will be punished accordingly.
"Well instead of punishment, how about we send him away on a royal escort to Denver? A visit is due" Arman pitched in. As he was saying this I was drinking my wine and I spit it out making a mess on my food which has just been delivered to the table. "Me? Leave the city?" I have never left Demir in my life. They asked me of course, but I say no... I am happy annoying people, having sex and living in my life of luxury.
"That is actually a good idea. My advisors have been telling me to visit there for a long while now." Father said. HE IS ACTUALLY AGREEING WITH ARMAN! His advisors must have been really annoying him if he is considering sending me.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..." I said and I slamming my hands onto the table spilling drinks. "You do realise, there is a war happening and I am not going out there to risk my life! I am keeping my ass here!" I sit my ass down crossing my arms.
"Careful there Fred you look like a pouting two year old" William quickly chuckled in. All of my other dumbass brothers and sister chuckled at that retort. "Well at least unlike you William I am still fuckable no matter what I do". Williams smile immediately turned upside down. He really is ugly since he was burned all over his body, after some accident when he was little. It involved Rayna but I never fully cared to ask. William calling me out when he has a stupid fear of fire, he has no right to tell me shit. My older twin brothers just looked at me with complete disgust and nodded as they continued to eat. Rayna started to cry with William and Arman comforting her. Her sobbing quickly stopped when father told her to shut up. I had no idea why she was crying but she gets very annoying when she does. After spitting on my first plate I immediately ordered to replace with a new one. It is roast pork my most favourite meal. Once we all had our fill we all had small quiet conversations with each other at the table.
"You know I think it is good that you are leaving," Xavier whispered. I gave him a look of disgust. "No not like that... I mean you need to see more of the world". Xavier trying to fix his words as usual. I still kept my face in the same look. Xavier out of all my family wants me to leave... "You want me to go where I could be in actual danger?" I whispered back. "It's just Denver Fred. It's only a three day ride away, nowhere near the war front". Xavier pointed out to the city from a small map in the book that he is reading. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I don't care how long the trip is, I don't want to go.
Then I hear my father's commanding voice overriding everybody else's voice. "Frederick in two days you will prepare yourself and head down to the City of Denver". I really wanted to object but at this point in time. It is definitely not the best idea. Stupid Arman he knew that father would be a lazy ass and not do a regular royal checkup of the mining city. Who knows when he last visited that city?
But regardless my fate has been sealed it looks like I need to prepare myself to go on a small journey.
