Kayziel smiled. "Not at all Your Majesty. You're misunderstanding me. I brought only one person to show my sincerity. We really want peace" Prince Ron decided at that point that he didn't like his great great great grandfather at all. Why bully his future husband's uncle?They continued their discussion and Ron saw that Kayziel was really good at negotiating. He had brought up a good plan that would benefit both parties. He spoke so eloquently and with such smartness that King Rafael was stunned. There were no loopholes or any chance for cheating. King Rafael couldn't help but agree. In no less than three hours, the treaty was signed by King Rafael as King Fayziel had already signed on it. When everything was done, King Rafael left without a word and Prince Kayziel was happy, There would be peace between his people and the humans now. No more suffering or bloodshed. Only peace. Some months later...Things were going fine. The Elves were rebuilding their villages and towns that got
"Oh no. What can we do now?"Zedekiel chanted a spell and lightening suddenly struck at Kayziel and Berthiel but they quickly dodged and burst into laughter. Angry, Zedekiel left. Berthiel saw that his brother was really angry so he went after him to placate him. Kayziel shook his head. Berthiel was so naughty. But who was this pretty boy with red hair and green eyes that has caught his stone faced nephew's heart? Ron didn't know but he was very jealous! How could his beloved like someone already? He even kissed him and claimed him as his wife! A servant walked into the garden and bowed before Kayziel. "Your Highness, there's a human asking for you at the palace gates. He said his name is Nathan"Ron felt Kayziel's heart skip a beat. He crumpled the letter he was writing and flew out of the garden, straight to the palace gates.Oh yes, the thing was, not all Elves could fly. Only those from the Royal Family. If you're an ordinary Elf, whether you reach the age of flying or even sur
And that what the biggest mistake of their lives.The King, Berthiel, 12 guards and Kayziel set off for the engagement after one week. Nathan left before then to give King Rafael the good news so they could prepeare for the arrival of the Elves.Zedekiel wanted to follow but King Fayziel made him stay so he could watch over his mother and the Kingdom while he was gone for Zedekiel was very reliable although he had the body of a 12 years old.Ron was quite happy. His beloved had a strong sense of responsibily since he was a kid. He knew that they would have no problems once they get married. He couldn't wait to make Zedekiel fall in love with him. He wanted to see how Zedekiel would treat his spouse. Maybe he was a hopeless romantic within.It took another week to travel to the Kingdom of Ashenmore and when they arrived, they were greeted warmly by King Rafael personally. He waited for them on his horse in front of the Kingdom gates to show his sincerity and welcomed them with music an
He could still remember the first time they met. How Zedekiel saved him from those goons and healed the little wound on his forehead. How handsome Zedekiel looked in robes as black as night and silver hair shimmering under the moonlight. Then those violet eyes that seemed like they were boring into his very soul.'Ah Zedekiel, when will this whole thing end so I can see you again?' he thought.At that point, the arrival of the people of the neighbouring Kingdom was announced and in trooped another set of finely dressed humans. From the crest of an eagle on their clothes, Ron already knew the Kingdom but he wasn't interested for he knew the history of his great great great grandfather Prince John getting engaged to Pincess Gabrielle of their neighbouring Kingdom.But wait. If he remembered his history books correctly, Prince John never got engaged to Princess Gabrielle. In fact, he never got engaged at all because he died in an accident and his younger brother, Prince Asher, who was ac
"I see" King Fayziel spoke for the first time. He sighed then patted King Rafael's shoulder in a friendly manner. "Our presence here has made your son unhappy. We will leave immediately"King Rafael started to panic. "But King Fayziel, I-"King Fayziel held up a hand and shook his head. "There's no hard feelings, King Rafael. I know you mean well. You have already shown us your sincerity. It isn't your fault if other people do not like us. I hope we can still maintain our current state of peace.Feeling less guilty by King Fayziel's words, King Rafael nodded. "Of course. I will never go back on my word"Prince John chuckled and shook his head. "And what makes you think you abominations can leave?"As if on cue, a large troop of guards filed into the hall and the large heavy double doors of the hall were pushed shut. They stood in front of the shut doors and unsheathed their swords, taking a fighting stance. Several other guards appeared by every window, holding an arrow and bow, ready
It then dawned on King Fayziel and Prince Kayziel. They looked at each other as the same word appeared in their minds.Iron!It was the only thing that was deadly to an Elf. When they are around it, they grow weak. Weaker than a old human. When it touches them, it burns their flesh and they can never heal from it.Now that it's inside them, they knew it. They were all going to die.Prince Berthiel, who was the youngest amongst all the elves was naturally weaker and had zero tolerance for iron so his body reacted quicker.Everyone watched in horror as he completely collapsed on the floor, writhing and moaning in pain, bleeding from his eyes, nose, ears and mouth. He kept clutching his throat, coughing and choking on his own blood. The sight was gory and downright frightening.King Fayziel could not watch his son in such agony. "You evil bastard!" he yelled with a wave of his hand.A sharp gust of wind blew towards Prince John and Nathan. It was like the sharp tip of a deadly arrow, sli
Prince John heard so he turned to Prince Berthiel and raised the iron net, looking at down at the Prince who was drenched in his own blood. "What are you talking about?"They could hear the fear in his tone even though he tried to hide it.Prince Berthiel struggled to raise his head then pinned Prince John a deadly glare. "You will die" he sneered. "I promise you. You will die the most painful death at the hands of my brother."Prince John's eyes widened. "There's another one?" He turned to Nathan. "I thought you said this is the only heir! You lied to me!"Nathan began to panic. "He is! I didn't lie! He is the only heir! He's the only son of the King!"Prince Kayziel chuckled deeply. It was a good thing that Nathan didn't know about Zedekiel. After all, Zedekiel rarely showed himself. Berthiel was the outgoing one.Hearing that, King Fayziel couldn't help but laugh. "Is that what he said, Berthiel? Will he avenge us?"Despite the agonising pain, Prince Berthiel nodded. "He promised m
Immediately after those words, Prince Ron found himself back in the garden, standing before that huge tree."It's the Umbrella tree" he murmured, gazing around. Everything was still in place. The flowers, the statues, even the ground in which he fell through was intact. As if he never fell in the first place.Prince Ron was confused. "Was I dreaming?...""Of course not. Are you stupid?" Prince Kayziel said in a condescending tone.The pearl in Prince Ron's hand began to vibrate and he opened his palm, staring at the pearl in awe. "I don't know why you humans cannot comprehend simple things. Are you saying meeting me and seeing my story is a dream? Can your puny brain even conjure up such stories?"Prince Ron was starting to feel offended. His brain wasn't puny and he was sure that he was very capable of making up magnificent stories. He raised a finger and started wagging it at the pearl. "Look here royal Elf spirit. I am a Prince. Just like you. If you keep on insulting me, I'll thro
