"The Despair of the Fox and The Suffering of the Bat"- Chapter 1: "A certain morning"
The sun had rose early in the kingdom of Volpe, the sky was peaceful like there wasn't any war happening at all, birds are chirping and the sweet scent of the flowers in air. The palace workers are up early for their daily works and like other servants a familiar person clad in blue and white wearing his blue hat and was commander of the royal guards to be exact was walking firmly on the halls towards a certain wing of the palace. Charles was up early in the morning to perform his morning duties to his young prince, he arrived in front of his room and he fixed his attire before knocking on the door and he entered as he heard no response "Prince, it's time to wake up and your morning tea was already been prepared" said Charles as he walked towards the windows and opened up the curtains to let the sunlight in the dark room where the young prince was having his peaceful slumber. The young prince twitched his eyes as the sunlight hit them and in attempt to avoid them he turned his back on them and tried to continue his sleep "Prince, its morning already so it's time to wake up or your morning tea and snack will get cold if you won't get up" said Charles as he took some change of clothes for the young prince "Y-yes, Charles" mumbled the young prince as he stood up sitting on his large bed while rubbing his sleepy eyes. Charles smiled at the prince's respond and he walked towards the small figure sitting on the bed "Let's change your clothes first before you can have your snack in the garden" said Charles as he held the small figure in his arms and made it sit in the corner of the bed where he was kneeling down to help the sleepy child dress up, the child yawned "I'm still sleepy, Charles" said the sleepy prince as his head slowly turned in the air signifying his sleepiness " I know but you have to get up now and if you agreed I'll play with you later okay?" said Charles as he helped the prince changed his clothes into a new one " R-really? You will then it's a deal, Charles" the sleepy prince suddenly become energetic as he heard what his loyal knight told him, Charles just nodded in response at stood up to get the prince's boots and came back to put it in his small foot "So let's go down then?" asked Charles as he finished putting the young prince's clothes on him, the young prince nodded happily in response as he jumped down his bed and excitedly ran towards the door " Come on Charles hurry up" exclaimed the now energetic prince "I'm coming My Prince so you don't have to run like that early in the morning you know?" replied Charles as he was finished fixing the bed where the young prince once had taken his slumber not so long a while ago. The Young Prince skipped happily in the halls while his loyal knight walking by his side watching the small figures back as it skipped around the palace. They arrived at the South wing of the palace where the garden was. The Royal Garden was filled with many types of flowers and trees, bushes are shaped into square to act as path ways towards certain places in the royal garden and a fountain in the middle of it like any other gardens but the fountain has something different than ordinary one's it was decorated with sapphires and a big one on the top of it. The young prince inhaled the fresh air" Ah, the sweet scent of the flowers always filled this garden and I love it~" cheerfully exclaimed the prince, Charles arrived after him and looked at the beautiful scenery the Royal garden was giving them. The Newly bloomed flowers where morning dew filled them, birds flying around and the peaceful sky to top it all but he lightly bit his lower lip at the sudden thought of the war that's happening between them and the neighbouring kingdom, he wishes the war would end soon because he doesn't want to see the innocent prince in front of him stepping in the battlegrounds and stain his hands with blood full of determination to kill his foe" Please let this war come to an end before that nightmare of mine happen" wished Charles deeply in his mind but before he noticed it the young prince that he's deeply thinking about was already staring at him curiously "Charles, something wrong?" asked innocently by the young prince who's curious about his loyal companions silence, Charles just shook his head then smiled at the prince in front of him " No, it's nothing so let's go before the tea becomes cold" said Charles as he took the young prince's small hand and led him where he's going to have his morning snack, the young prince nodded and smiled at his knights action. The young prince enjoyed his morning snack and milk tea that his knight had prepared for him and just like the prince Charles his knight also enjoyed the peaceful morning that he spent with his young prince in the royal garden.
While the young prince of Volpe kingdom is enjoying his morning snack with his loyal knight the serious prince of Battere kingdom was also having his morning tea but unlike the cheerful prince who's having his tea in the royal garden this prince was having his tea in the Royal Library while reading a book. The serious prince was sitting on a big and comfy chair near a small round table where stacks of books are being placed, the prince read in silence while sipping his morning tea but because he's still a child just like the cheerful prince he's also drinking a milk tea that suits his age and taste. While the prince was completely absorbed in reading his book of choice someone knocked on the door "Permission to enter, My Prince" said a guy behind the library door "Permission granted" replied the prince while his eyes are still glued on the book he's reading. The door opened and a familiar guy clad in black and violet clothing with his silver pants appeared in front of the door and entered the room, the guy held his hand to his chest and bowed in front of the young prince to show his respect "The schedule for today was already made, My Prince" said Ralph the loyal retainer of the second prince and he's also acting like the prince's butler because he's the one to wake him up early in the morning but the prince is always already awake when he came to his room, he's the one to serve his snack and tea's and of course he also acts as his personal trainer in sword fighting and hand to hand combat. Ralph's also the head of the underground spies and assassins of The Royal family of the Battere kingdom. The prince who's reading a book looked at his retainer in front of him "Is that so, well let's start immediately so we can finish it up early to please the King" he closed the book he's holding left it in the table and stood up, the prince walked towards his retainer and Ralph took the small black and purple coat hanging in the coat hanger then he proceeds to put it in his young masters small but lean shoulder "We have no time to waste off we go, Ralph" commanded the young but serious prince, Ralph bowed in response "Yes, My Prince" he followed the prince clad in his black and purple coat and silver pants with black boots that almost reached his knee walked across the palace halls walking towards his destination to complete his duties for the day. " One day you'll reign over the kingdom and over power your foolish brother and when that time comes I will make sure that I'm the one to be there by your side, My Prideful Prince Isano" thought Ralph as he's gazing down at the stern prince's back as he walked down the hall just steps behind his young master, he smiled at the thought that the one in front of him was the youngest prince and the second prince of the kingdom and none other than a seven year old child to think that a mere child would be able to overpower his older sibling who's a cruel fighter and tactician it might be just a dream of a foolish person but Ralph would never stop dreaming about this because seeing his young master at the top makes him happy and wish for nothing none other than his young master's happiness. Ralph drifted with his thoughts suddenly caught the young prince staring at him with his eyebrow raised in confusion "Are you sick Ralph? You seemed too quiet this morning did something happen?" innocently asked the prince but there's still a hint of superiority in his tone of speaking, Ralph just shook his head "It's nothing my prince, let's hurry so we could finish your duties early so we could have tea in time for lunch" replied the loyal retainer to his young master "Is that so, well let's go now" he replied to his loyal retainer as he continued to walk towards his destination to complete all his duties so he could have tea with Ralph his loyal retainer. Each prince has their own ways to spend their mornings with their loyal retainer's but what's this shocking news that would ruin their peaceful morning?...
