Chapter 9

Attacked

Prince Authur then looked at the thugs and said

"Today if you die just know that it's because of this man here" he them pointed at the thugs leader and then continued

"And again your lack of home training. Sorry to say your parents did not do their teachings well."

Then he turned to Richard Neville and said to him

"Take them to that stone just outside the hate if this house and cit of their heads, them dispose their bodies so as not to cause trouble for Mr and Mrs Brighton."

Richard Neville nodded and signaled Andrew Jakes and Lancelot smith who were next to him to help him out. Just then one of the thugs who could not take it anymore said to prince Authur

"Who the hell are you anyway? You just come here and harrass our boss and us anyhow you like when we were settling our business with these people here and to crown it all you abolished our boss roots."

Authur then signaled to Lancelot to bring that scallywag over to him. He then took his sword and in the presence of everyone cut of the thugs right hand which he used to point at him. The thug screamed in pain, his right hand already a bloody mess.

"Do you know why I cut of the hand?"he asked the thug.

The thug could not talk but only whimper in pains.prince Authur ignored him then said

"I did that because you a useless nonsensical scallywag don't have the right to point at me a royal blood with such disrespect.

When the thugs heard that he's royalty they couldn't help but shiver in their hearts.They had no idea that the man standing in front of them was a royal person.

Authur looked at them, saw their fear and couldn't help but want to make them more afraid of him and asked

"Do you even know who I am?"

The thugs nodded their heads in the negative way cause they have no idea about him at all.

"Tell pls introduce!" He commanded Williams Tell. Willam tell them started to clear his throat before saying

"standing before you is no other person but the prince of Naviel son of his royal majesty king Alfred the great of Naviel, his highness prince Authur"

The whole compound was strucked with lightning. They could not believe that the man who just talked to them and did not take them seriously was prince Authur whom they have heard about,his mighty deeds in battle was heard around Naviel and beyond and they just had the audacity to disrespect him.

The thugs began to beg Authur for mercy. Authur did not answer them but walked up to the thug who just blabbed anyhow just now andbcut of his roots. His crocth became a bloody area and he let out a scream before giving up the ghost. His fellow thugs saw this and wailed in fear, bit prince Authur continued his killing spree and killed allof them by himself inside the compound before telling Richard and his gang to clear the mess.

Ten minutes later he was talking with the Brightons. They thanked him for saving them and then he told them of Mabel's ordeal with his step brother Derrick and his father's decision to make them man and wife. When Mrs Brighton heared what happened to her daughter she cried and was consoled by her husband and the young prince.

Authur then urged them to pack and follow him back to Naviel where they both would stay till after the wedding before going with the couple to Prescott.

After about an hour plus they were ready and began their journey back to Naviel.

Meanwhile prince Derrick was making a final plan to accomplish his evil thought of killing the baby in Mabel's womb.

He waited for the time when she would go to the palace garden to receive fresh air and then went to meet her there. Mabel was shocked to see him there.

"what do you want?" She asked coldly.

"i want you to take this wine made of the best quality of grapes fruits, I heard it's nice and I want you to try it out"

Mabel looked at him and asked

"do I look that dumb to you Derrick?"

Prince Derrick sighed

"look Mabel I don't care about you or anything that have to do with you but the truth is that am not ready for this stuff called marriage so the best thing for the both of us right now is to abort that thing inside your stomach" prince Derrick said arrogantly.

Mabel looked at him and said

"Derrick when you were doing the stuff enjoying your day you never thought of the repercussions of what you were doing and now it's time to take responsibility and you're shying away from it. Like I won't abort this child in my womb, it deserves to live"

Derrick was felling frustrated at this point

"Look you better agree to my conditions as I won't say it again, I will talk to my father to settle you with some money to start up something for yourself but I can't marry you I love someone else"

"pls leave me alone I won't accept your proposal, I can't face the humiliation of raising a child without it's father so pls let's drop this topic"

Prince Derrick smiled evily then said

"okay no problem"and with that he walked out of the garden.

His right hand man Walter walked up to him as soon as he came out of the garden.

"Greetings my Lord"

"Yes have you done what I asked you to do?"

"Yes my prince I have done it and I expect to recieve news from the mercenaries I hired this evening"

"Good I would reward you handsomely when it's done"

"Thank you my prince"

Meanwhile prince Authur was riding with his entourage and Mabel's parents when he felt something wrong around them. They were just two villages from Naviel and he felt as if they were being followed. He couldn't help but wonder who would want to attack him but just then Mr Brighton came with his horse to his side and asked if they could stop for the time being and rest for a while.

He then concluded that these said force were not for him but for the Brightons.

"Mr Brighton you can pull over to the side and rest with your wife and daughter while we talk for a while"

He then thought of something and then said to two of his men

"Mansa and Modred please take care of them while we discuss something" then he signaled to the rest and they walked to one corner and began to discuss.

"Greg I fell something is not right like we are being followed or don't you guys feel it?"

" I do my prince" Greg said

"me also, I was just waiting for the right time to tell you" Richard Neville said.

"Good , since we all notice then let us give these people a ride of their lives. Pls be prepared for what is about to happen and protect the Brightons as I feel these goons are here for them"

"Yes my prince"

"Robin you take care of the right hand side as they have much advantage when shooting your arrows from that angle"

"Yes my prince I would do just that" Robin Gray replied.

Greg you take the Brightons with Mansa and the half of our soliders while I take the rest with Richard Neville. You go to the left hand side while I go to the right to distract them"

"Yes my prince"

"Now let's go"and with that they all dispatch to their various assignment.

Just when the mercenaries hired by Walter thought that they have gotten a head way they saw the troops began to heed towards two different directions and this got them confused. Their commander then said

" Separate like they did, I think they are trying to give us a hard time but remember none of them must leave this path alive"

"Yes boss"they all chorused.

Authur saw them dispatching and smiled in his heart as this was what he wanted all along.

Just as he and his soilders were half way through the path they took they were ambushed by the mercenaries.

" what is this and who are you" Authur ask pretending to be afraid of them

" Hey kid you still ask what's this about when you're knocking on death's door"

"young man I don't know who sent you as I haven't offended anyone if I could remember clearly but am willing to pay you double the amount if you can tell me"

"Boy you're not qualified to ask of the person who sent us on this mission and yes your money don't count"

"Well since you don't want to tell me who sent you please excuse me and my entire crew to pass as you are blocking our path with your poverty stinking valuables"

The thugs felt humiliated to the highest level and their leader said in anger

"boy are you farting with me to tell you my name is Nicholas and am the king of this area so you better watch your tongue else you're asking for it"

Authur sneered then said

"A little underground emperor trying to be big in my eyes"

Nicholas felt annoyed again with the words that came out of Authur's mouth then he said

"Kid am a six star martial warrior in terms of strength and you dare to annoy me, see if you can apologize to me when knelling down and knotwow to me then I can consider sparing your dog life"

" And what if I don't?" Authur asked getting down from destrier while putting his hand on his sheath.

"Then I would cut you to a million pieces" Nicholas roared. Authur laughed then said

"I would give you two minutes to kneel down before me and beg for your life or else the results would be unimaginable"

One of Nicholas's minions roared back at Authur

"Kid are you tired of living, believe it or not I would tear open your skull if you talk nonsense again"

"chicken I wasn't talking to you but this dog here" Authur said pointing at Nicholas.

"And who are you calling a dog?" Nicholas asked angrily.

"You of course or is there any other dog in front of me?"

"Kid I need to teach you some manners"Nicholas said and pointed at the same minion who just had issues with Authur

"Give me his dog legs for a start"

"Yes boss"the minion replied before coming towards Authur and saying

"Kid make this easy for me, you know I still need to have some fun with your sister at the other side"

Authur was pissed

"say that again"

"what?! Cat git your tongue? I just said I want to f**k your sis.."

The next second he could not breath as he felt that he was grabbed by an iron chain around his neck, and that chain was Authur's hand obviously.

Nicholas was more annoyed and said

"kid I don't want to hurt you so drop him down or else?"

Authur felt bored to death and he immediately looked up towards the sky and said

"Give me his right leg" He was actually talking to Robin Gray who was lurking in one of the trees surrounding the area where they were but Nicholas did not understand and began to mock Authur

"What!! Communicating with your anscenstors" but just then he saw and arrow flying fast from thesky and hitting his right leg.

"F**k" he yelled and knew that the other party was someone not to be provoked, he fearfully asked

"Who the h**l are you?"

"Am someone you can't offend in your entire life"

"grass, you're still farting just because you have my friend in Your hands doesn't mean you're strong"

"Crack!!!"Authur broke the neck of the minion in his hand, threw his carcass and walked towards Nicholas

"Didn't I give you two minutes to apologize? What are you still waiting for?"

"Kid don't be arrogant in front of me"

"okay I would teach you arrogance"

He then waved his hand and he and his men went on a killing spree with nicholas and his men.
