-New Life (2)- Chapter 5

Dhrake has been trying his best to avoid Zach for the past few days because of what has happened.

When Zach was summoned by Her Majesty, Dhrake's mother, he then rushed to the physician to ask about Zach's condition.

Dhrake was hesitating at first so he was just at the front door standing. He was about to leave when the door suddenly opened.

"Your Highness? What are you doing here?" the physician asked

Dhrake turned around but couldn't say anything

"Did you get lost perhaps?" the physician giggled thinking about how the Prince got lost in his castle

"I-I'm not!" Dhrake suddenly responded

"Well could this Young Prince tell me why he's here then hmm?" the physician said with a gentle tone so as to not scare the kid

"I-I came here to see you" Dhrake replied

"Okay, Do you want to sit inside first?" the physician offered

"No, I just want to ask a question so..."

"Is it about Zach?"

"...yes..." Dhrake faintly replied

"Are you worried that he had forgotten about you suddenly?"

"He's my friend but now I don't think that he even remembers me anymore"

"I see, but don't worry Your Highness cause I promise you that he will get his memories back" the physician comforted him then smiled

"R-really!?" Dhrake asked with a bright face

"Yes! let's wait for that to happen okay?"

"Mhm!" Dhrake replied as the physician pats his head

"So let's head back for now hmm? I'll accompany you"

"No need...uhm...can you tell me your name please?" Dhrake asked

"Hmm...let's see... I guess you can call me Sir Fin for now yeah?"

"Okay! Thank you, Sir Fin"

"I'll be going now!" Dhrake said then waved at him while running

"Be careful while running Your Highness!" Sir Fin reminded him

"Rowan! what are you still standing there for!"

"Oh! Sir Elijah"

"Rowan Finley! Get going already!"

"Sorry! I'm coming" Rowan Finley said then hurried to get his stuff

"What took you so long?" Elijah asked

"Long story Sir" Finley replied

"Stop calling me Sir, you just got promoted right? We're at the same rank now you idiot"

"Oh! Then I'll call you Elijah" Finley said

"Yeah, that's good" Elijah responded

"Sooo who is this new kid that we're teaching?" Finley asked

"The same kid I found unconscious and the same kid you treated"

"Ohh, Zach? Great!"

"You seem so excited huh? Rowan?"

"Yeahhh! He's got potential you see? Elijah?"

"You saw him fight?"

"Nah! Just a hunch"

"I see" Elijah responded

"We're here" He added as they approached the room Zach is staying in.

Rowan then knocked on the door.

"Please come in"

They both got in and looked around his room.

"You just moved in here?" Rowan asked Zach

"Uh yeah" He responded

"Well I'll introduce myself now"

"My name is Rowan Finley and you can call me Sir Rowan, I'll be in charged of your studies" Rowan introduced himself

"I am Elijah Liam, you can call me Sir Liam until you've ascertained that you're good enough, I'll be in charge of your swordsmanship and other skills so you better perform according to my expectations " Elijah introduced himself

"Pleased to meet you Sir Rowan and Sir Liam, Please take care of me," Zach said as he bows to them

"Then...Are you prepared? I don't want sloppy work, I want to teach someone who is hardworking and efficient " Elijah reminded him

"..es" Zach faintly replied

"What!? I can't hear you!"

"YES!" Zach respond with such a confident look this time.

Elijah did not respond but gave him a big smile and patted his head

"You've been through a lot so we can take it slow if you want," Finley said

"N-no I'm fine and I'll do my best!"

"I like your enthusiasm lad"

Years have passed and Zach already finished his studies, he's now putting his training as his priority because the next year will be the year where his responsibility to the royal family takes place.

"Zach!" Elijah called to him

"Yes Sir Elijah?" Zach gets to call him Sir Elijah just after a year of being under his supervision.

"The Queen gave a summon for you," Elijah told him

"Oh! now?" Zach asked

"Mhm," Elijah said "Goodluck" He added

"Wait why?"

"No reason, I'll get going now," He said then left

Zach headed to Her Majesty's office

He knocked on the door and ask for permission to come in

"Come in," The Queen told him

He opened the door and closed it right after going in

He bowed to Her Majesty and respectfully asked: "Your Majesty, you called?"

"Yes, have a sit" The Queen offered him

"Thank you" Zach then sat on the seat that was offered to him

"Are you prepared now?" The Queen suddenly asked which caught him off guard.
