Another King:Chapter Three

Four guards were on watch duty for the night...

Look someone is coming,exclaimed one of the guards jumping to his feet.

Who are you,the other guard asked the approaching figure.

The dark figure lifted his staff and blew the gate off it's hinges.

Surrender the city or die,commanded the dark figure.

Who are you,the guard asked again nervously.

I am the Black Knight,Surrender this town and I will let you live.

Never,replied one of the guards defiantly,it is my duty to protect this city no matter the cost.

The Black Knight lifted his staff and blew him from the wall with a blast of energy that killed him instantly. The other three guards quickly surrendered.

Now call the city together,said the Black Knight,I would like to speak.

The city bell was rung to gather all the people together. They all came out and met at the town hall wondering why they were called out so late.

I am your new ruler,thundered the Black Knight,and if you serve me faithfully I will give you my protection,but if you don't I will destroy anyone who opposes or disobeys me.

All the people bowed and pledged their allegiance to the Black Knight. Then he was escorted to his new palace,the town hall.

In the new throne room the Black Knight was talking to the three city guards that let him pass. I will reward you,he said to them,each of you will be given a position of power.

Ezeal,you will be you will be appointed Governor over this new empire and will serve no one but me. Yaits,you will lead the army and Ferr you will lead the royal guard.

Thank you your majesty,they said in unison and bowed before leaving.

Ezeal I would like to speak with you privately,said the Black Knight.

Anything you majesty,said Ezeal turning around and walking back into the room.

I will be leaving and will make my apprentice King,said the Black Knight,you must serve him and help him rule for he is just a boy.

Yes your majesty I will do everything in my power to guide him and keep him safe,replied Ezeal.

But be warned if anything ill befalls him you will be held responsible along with Ferr and the Royal guard.
