Revenge Of The Prince

The roof of the palace shone in the sunlight that had just risen. The chirping of the birds around the palace sounded melodious as if they were enthusiastically enlivening the morning atmosphere. The great royal wooden gate began to open slowly after two soldiers pushed both sides of the gate with all their might. When the gate was fully open, the two soldiers stood proudly on either side of the gate, performing their duties as the gatekeepers of the Sun Kingdom. Horse caretakers hurriedly carried the feed that would be served to the hundreds of horses lined up in neat rows in the stable. The horses in the stable gobbled up their food as soon as the caretaker placed the feed in a nearby container. "Eat a lot so you will be a reliable horse." One of the caretakers said as he stroked the horse's head. Some of the other caretakers did the same, talking lovingly to the horses as if they understood each other. Some didn't care about the horse they were feeding and chose not to pay any attention to the horse. Soldiers were seen practicing on the grassland to the north, next to the Royal Library building. They were eagerly swinging their swords at each other to test their partners' skills. The sound of dozens of clashing swords mixed with the enthusiastic shouts of the soldiers sounded quite loud in the cool grassland. A commander walked among the soldiers practicing. His stride was steady, his eyes glancing around, searching for his eager men. Often he paused to correct a move that didn't seem right or to give them feedback on a move he knew. "You can swing your swords lower, aim for the lower body if there is a gap." The commander said to the two soldiers nearby, then walked away after receiving nods from them. Meanwhile, at the royal altar of the Sun Kingdom, King Joel and Queen Veronica sat next to each other on their respective thrones, waiting for a report they would receive from the advisor this morning. "Are our children up so early?" The king suddenly asked the queen sitting beside him. "Of course they are," the queen sighed in surprise, looking at her husband with a frown on her forehead. The King and Queen of the Sun Kingdom were blessed with twins, a boy and a girl. The boy was seventeen, while his sister was sixteen, one year older than her brother. The boy was named Kenway and the girl was Sarah. Kenway was taught by his mother to be a master swordsman. Almost every afternoon he practiced with the commander of the royal soldiers. He often received special training from the commander at his mother's request. Although still young, Kenway's fighting skills were on the same level as those of adults. Then Sarah learned a lot about strategy. She is often invited by her mother to the annual royal meeting, so Sarah is familiar with such situations. She also often took notes on what was discussed at the meeting table. Sarah was also invited to a meeting to discuss the strategy to liberate the people of the Sun Kingdom who the enemy captured, and there she also dared to try to provide a strategy that she thought of, Sarah was allowed to convey ideas and plans that she thought of herself in an important meeting to risk people's lives. Sarah is full of authority despite her youth. "So where are they, I didn't see them when I walked down the hallway earlier. Usually, you would see them over there this early in the morning." "According to the schedule I made, they must be busy reading books in the library this morning." The queen replied. The king is very busy with his activities, ranging from signing documents, accepting invitations from other kings, inspecting the development of the regions, helping the poor, listening to the complaints of the people, and so on. So it's natural that he doesn't pay much attention to his children. Unlike the queen, who is not so busy in the palace. Instead of doing less and staying idle, the queen chooses to educate her children. Meanwhile, in the peaceful library, the twin children of the King and Queen of the Sun Kingdom were busy with their activities. Sarah sat on one of the benches, struggling to understand the book she was reading. "This book is too difficult to understand, I've read it over and over again, but I still don't understand the content." Sarah, who was sitting on a chair reading a book, muttered. "Hmm... I need another reference book." She continued, then moved to one of the bookshelves among the dozens of others in the royal private library. While Kenway seemed to be sitting on the window ledge, looking out over the nearby green meadow, he looked at the soldiers who were still busy practicing. Kenway concentrated on watching them, studying every move of the sword techniques the soldiers were demonstrating. The library is located in the Sun Kingdom, the building is to the north of the meadow where the soldiers are training. The library covers an area of about 1.5 hectares, with a built-up area of 20,000 square meters. There are thousands to hundreds of thousands of book titles, a small garden in the center, and several private rooms for readers. The air circulation from the top of the library is very good, making the whole spacious room cool. There were also about six servants on hand to serve Kenway and Sarah whenever they needed food or anything else. As time passed, Kenway felt bored with what he was doing, tired of just sitting at the window watching the soldiers train. His hands itched to hold a sword and swing it at something, or even someone. He wanted to join the soldiers in sword training, but it wasn't time yet. Mother had instructed him and Sarah to learn about war strategy and politics from some books in the library. Since this morning, Kenway had actually learned about grid attack strategies from a book, he also had a good understanding of the things he learned, but still, he could not leave the library because his mother had ordered the two of them to study there for two hours, while it had only been an hour since Sarah and Kenway had entered the library. Kenway was restless because he had suppressed his desire to practice swordplay, and he paced by the window wishing that time would pass more quickly. He wanted to get out of the library and join the training. Sarah, who was quietly reading a book, was suddenly distracted when she saw her brother pacing by the window, a strange sight to her.
