A Whim [2]

Sumesh got into the academy for the selection process. It was by the mercy of the Second Prince, Bhairava. He took it as a whim of the second prince and thought to make use of the glimmer of hope that appeared in his life. 

As he walked inside, he recalled the story of Viswa, the butler of the Emperor. He also got a similar opportunity and he showed his ability to the world. Sumesh was also determined to do the same. 

"Hey, you.." The young man that stood up for him came running towards him. 

"Thanks…" Sumesh replied curtly. 

The young man with a bright expression extended his hand. "My name is Keshav." 

"Sumesh." He said as he got a bit away from him. 

But Keshav came closer and asked. "Are you okay? Where are you from?" 

"Um..I am fine. I came from a small village."

"I am from here, and thankfully the second prince came just in time." Keshav sighed.
