CHAPTER 11 - NORTHWEST

Everybody is unease after hearing that some Southern people entered our territory bringing some of their most dangerous animals to hunt and get some food for their place. I hear locks, chains, and other materials that will help them feel secure inside their house around the streets.

"Bring me my horse now."

"But Prince Hoax, your father will be angry if he will know that you will go to the forest."

"Who said I will go to the forest? Just bring my horse now," I ordered.

My horse came. I brushed his long and silky black hair, "Let's go?" I asked him as it will respond.

I heard some more horses coming and it is the general's squad. I knew this would happen.

"We will be escorting you, Prince Hoax," they bowed.

I let go of my horse, "What if I don't want to?" and then I disappeared.

I discovered that I can teleport to another place if I think of it. I tried it so many times inside our nation and it works, I haven't tried if it is still applicable for traveling to other nations, it sounds absurd.

I am now in the forest jumping from one tree to another but I prevent making any noise that will make someone aware of my presence. Many have told me that maybe I am a vampire because of my abilities, but I am certain that I am not because I can stand even when the sunshine 720 degrees. They thought that I hate the sun because I normally go out at night. Why do they care? It is more fun at night! Also, I have developed my senses. I feel like they improved since I am always in the dark.

I saw a man followed by a huge snake. Is it an anaconda? What a nice night to spend and play. Our country has been very careless. It has been years since someone intruded on us and my father thought it will never happen again since the Mythical island had risen. Papa believes that Mythical Island will bring to the eight countries but I don't believe it. Look at this dumb-ass asking a northwestern to take his life.

I quietly go down behind him. I got so excited that I forgot that he has an anaconda with him. It almost ate me whole if I haven't managed to disappear. This is more interesting than I thought.

The flow of the air around me suddenly changed, the pressure got stronger. I looked at the Southern man and from this position, I can see that it was like he was building this by means of his hands. So it true? Do southern people have a sixth sense? Amazing! But I have to apologize, I am a Northwestern. We hate intruders especially those who have the intention of stealing. I looked at him. I am now controlling the air. The air inside his body. He lost his control over mine. I moved quickly and grabbed him at his neck. I lifted him up adding tension his neck.

"Furry clothes and sixth sense. Welcome to Northwest, Southern."

"Please let me go," he pleaded.

"We keep minding our own businesses inside our territory, but look who's here?"

"I was just wondering how your country looks like, Sir."

"Really? With an anaconda, a large bag, and these weapons? You even tried to suffocate me, Sir."

I put a lot of pressure on him. I saw how he turned red when I've done that. I let go of him. He was about to run when I grabbed and twisted his neck.

I heard the palace guards are coming so I hid.

"Search everywhere for the Prince!" the general ordered.

"General! The Southern Intruder is here, and he's dead."

I smiled and left the forest.

I feel so contented inside my room. I am cleaning myself when my butler came in. I saw his reddish cheeks that have a handprint on it.

"Who slapped you?" I asked.

"The King wants to see you, Prince Hoax. I am sorry for leaving you alone. It will not happen again."

"When did you leave me? It's me who escaped. Did Papa did that to you?"

"I will wait for you outside."

And he left. He did not answer my question so I guess it is true. I hurriedly finished myself and go to the hall. I can hear how angry Papa is.

"Are you sure that Hoax did that?" asked Papa.

"There are no witnesses on the site so we can't assure, Your Highness."

I entered the hall, "You have no evidence, General. How come you accuse a Prince-like me with such a thing," I smirked.

"You suddenly disappeared. The time of death of the Southern was around the time before someone noticed you inside the palace," the General stated.

"I can go to different places in a short span of time. I can go to your house right now and bring your family with me. I can go around the palace without anyone knowing I do. You will just rely on the statement that at that time they only noticed me and you immediately connected that crime to me?"

"I'm sorry, Prince Hoax."

"Check all the cameras now," Papa said.

The General left and Papa faced me, "Check all the cameras to see how good my son did," and he hugged me.

"What are you talking about, Papa?"

"I saw you! The moment you disappeared, I hurriedly went to the forest and saw you there. I am so proud of you, My son."

"But I killed a man, Papa."

"An intruder, Young Man. He entered your territory and tried to take what's yours. He even tried to kill you."

"Thank you, Papa."

"I think you are ready for an adventure."

"What adventure, Papa?"

"You have heard about the Mythical Island right?"

"Yes, Papa. It was all over the news."

"All of the Princes and Princesses of the Nations or High Ranking young officials will be there. With your skills, you can eliminate them all and reign over the eight countries."

"I thought all were invited there to promote peace and harmony. To unite all the nations."

"That's what they think. But I will not get at an ease of it. I doubt that. Hell who would want to unite all the nations? Unite, so what?

If Papa is not angry, who slapped my butler? I wonder who is that bastard.

I feel thrilled. I really want to go there and play around. See you Mythical Island.
