34) THE FIRST PRINCES side chapter 4

Isabel : " you summoned for me, my king ?"

King: ".............."

Isabel : "................"

As I greeted the king, without a reply from him, the entire throne room was thrown into silence, by the kings right hand side was his most trusted adviser, and just a little above the throne standing on behind the adviser and the king, was respectable the captain of the general of the knight order, and the kingdoms supreme level mage. The two most powerful people in this kingdom.

King: " my daughter, it has been a long time, how have you been"

Isabel : " I have been well my king, you honor me with you care'

King: " .......sigh…..

After that awkward exchange and the king letting out a long breath, his face tuned serious , I knew that whatever he was going to say next, I was not going to like it, and if it was something that will hinder my freedom, I will do anything to stop it even if it meant leaving the kingdom and stop being a knight…..

But I hope it won't come to that, because I F*CKING love this job.

King: " Isabel your mother has fallen ill…"

Isabel : " ok my king ? "

Another awkward silence, I mean what did he expects me to do, this is the same person who tried to kill me when I was 14 years old, just one year after becoming a knight.

And all because I beat her son MY! Older brother in a dual. So year I don't care about any one in this family except my father of course, because even if he had the power to stop me from doing all I did,

He did not do it, and let me gain my freedom

And I respect and love him for that.

King: " I know you don't love your mother because of all she had done, but she is still both you mother and my wife, her illness has been going on for about two years now, with no hope of finding a cure. But Aceraba our most honored supreme level mage, was able to find an elixir, that could cure any kind of illness"

Isabel : "yes I understand my king, you want me to retrieve this elixir, where can I find it my king, and I will be on my way at ones.

King: " no Isabel, such elixir cannot be found, only created, because it uses the forbidden book"

Isabel : WHAT!!, but my king that book is…."

I let my voice out load in surprise, because the forbidden book was the spell book the was used by the demon lord 900 years ago to try and destroy the world, the reason why we have it is because at that time the hero who defeated the demon king went on to establish our kingdom with us being his descendant,

King: " this elixir is known as the elixir of life, and the ingredients are hard to get, so I need to send someone strong to get them for me, and I can't send any one else from the kingdom, because this is both a secret and the other knight captains are on a very important mission in the demon continent, so will you take up this task.

I did not know what was going on, but if it meant giving my father the thanks for all those years of helping me, then I will do it, and not for that so called mother of mine.

Isabel : yes my king, I will undertake this task, to repay you for helping me all this years.

King;" thank you my child, now go and rest, Aceraba will provide for you both the location and the ingredient you need to get tomorrow"

Isabel : ...…..i would rather depart, now my king sense it is such an important mission"

King: " sigh...ok my daughter, Aceraba will provide you with everything you need, you may depart at ones.

(flash back end)

And that is how I stated my 2 year journey, that would eventually lead to my death. But one with an amazing encounter.
