The ancient beginnings

Just hatching

Sitting on the throne is King wiir and his three favorite sons discussing matters of distraction the good news is that, the distraction is not heading towards Prince Anei direction if anything storm is heading their way yen folds.

Actually they will never see it coming because Anei though not a cunning bastard, he sure will be the traitor they say his mother was after all why brand him with a name when his mother was labelled a traitor.

'' Ah, brother what are the odds of third brother walking in right now, coming back to the throne room even after the daily session is over? ''

The second Prince says like he thinks it is very funny if Anei walks in. The rest just smiles their best clueless smile like they don't know a damn thing but that's OK because Anei do not really care whether they mock him, laugh at him or even act clueless because when he gets done with them they will never know what actually hit them.

'' I would like to speak to father alone brothers would you be so kind and lend me dad, I won't take a lot of time and  am pretty sure you will have a lot of time to discuss whatever you were discussing before I walked in here. ''

The first Prince looks ready to kill but at the same time amused, just like his other half brothers he finds this situation funny as well as provocative. Like seriously what do Prince Anei wants to speak with the king about that too in private, that alone is a clear indicator.

The first Prince is the most interested in the throne more than anybody, now combine that with his sword skills and being the head warrior of the kingdom and it is as clear as day he has more allies in the neighbouring kingdom more than all his brothers so yes he is very interested and would do anything to sit on that throne and with the last glance to the throne he walks off leaving Prince Anei and the king alone.

'' And what is it that my dear son wants to talk about and that too in private. I am curious as to why you would want to speak with me about in private, could you be plotting something against your brothers ? ''

King Wiir Atem is beyond shock what on earth happened today? Why would the third Prince want to speak with him in private that too alone after the session. From which direction did the sun rise today.

'' nothing to be nervous about dad, I come in peace. Is it so wrong to want an alone time with my only parent alive I think not. ''

Anei said that alive part intentionally to just test the waters, King Wiir hates the topic of Anei's mom betrayal according to him it is not worth investigating.

All he knows is that the guards claim to have caught her sneaking into his chamber with a knife, she was a beauty and the king would have loved to have a daughter by her, that princess could have for sure fetched so good territory but she had to be a traitor and die Young leaving behind a four year old Prince Anei.

The king has since then taken out his frustration on the innocent child, who grew up with no real parent figure but his care taken. His father has never treated him like a servant much less a son, Anei do not know the love of a father at least he can still remember the love of his mother.

Looking at his father on that throne looking all scared and nervous, Anei wonders why the almighty king Wiir Atem iv would be scared of his third son.

The kingdom says he is the son of a traitor but that is just what people are saying, he has never done anything against his father so why would the king be cautious of his own son, it's not like he can actually kill his own father well technically his mom never did anything that is known to anyone besides the King's guard.

'' I just have an idea on how we can lure the official who let that human into our realm besides other kingdoms would join us if we offer them alliance in capturing that official that way we can have him answer to us and have allies in other kingdoms. ''

Prince Anei is not damn enough to tell his real plan to the king but if he is to win this case he has to get the king to buy his idea only then can he pitch his idea to the cabinet in the session tomorrow, he has to get the king on his side so that he will be the one to convince everyone that this is the way out of this situation.

The plan is very simple and if they follow it to the letter then they will surely catch this very person but not only that Prince Anei will most definitely be a lot closer to his prime goal.

You see he do not care about that official and the kingdom be damn, he only cares about his plans and involving that very human woman is already a threat so he is just getting rid of this threat and making sure that absolutely nothing mess up his ultimate motive.

'' and why do you intend to tell me alone when you can always present that idea to everyone in the session tomorrow. You do know that I don't make decisions alone without consulting my cabinet right?

You are aware of the customs of this kingdom even though you have always been away from the kingdom's affairs, you are actually more human than anything else since you dwell in their world so much. ''

The king is finally smiling now that they have reached that topic where he has a lot of dirt on Prince Anei and that actually got the third Prince to take a seat on his own throne and returning his father's smile viciously with a glimpse of ill intention in his eyes.

'' Oh father, you should not worry yourself so much on what I do and don't i know about my own kingdom.

You would be surprise to learn that I know more about this kingdom than any other person in this kingdom but that is not what I am here to discuss.

I do not want you to make a decision on the contrary, I would like you to ponder on this issue critically consider all the options because after all you are the king and should anything go wrong or create any conflict between us and the other kingdoms it will be registered under your reign, let's be honest here letting a human into our realm is a grave sin and so we should handle they issue critically...''

Prince Anei took a breathe to let his words sink in and by the look on the King's face it won't take a genius to guess that he is seriously thinking about it. The king is having a hard time making up his mind about this issue, should he listen to the third Prince if he says he is not expecting a decision then there is no harm in listening to what he has to say right? It is not like this can get any harder if anything he present the solution like he said so why not.

The third Prince is enjoying the suspense and the look on his father's face, that look of helplessness pleases the dubious Prince to no end. If they are already feeling helpless now yet he has not yet started with them then he can only imagine their faces after their defeat, oh the enjoy that will bring him he just hope it will make up  for what they made him go through as a child, he already know it will not avenge his mother but that is a topic for another day.

''... Not only that but we have kept that very human in our kingdom for far too long already, we can not undo this anymore we urgently need a solution without creating any rift between us and other kingdoms or compromising your powers as a king, you never know this situation can prove very useful for you as a king in this realm. Didn't you want to be the King of Kings of this realm now this is your chance so seize it...''

King Wiir Atem iv is the most power hungry king that have walked this realm, he will never have enough territories, wives or wealth he always wants more and that will be his down fall. Prince Anei intend to exploit this flaws of his father to his heart content, the third Prince have had it in this kingdom and now that it's time for payback he do not intend to let them go that easy.

''... It is only wise if we take care of this issue ourselves and also involve  our neighbouring kingdoms so that they do not hide our enemy when he gets expose as for now our main target should be that very official. ''

The king is at a cross road, on one hand is his love for more power and on other hand is the fact he do not wish to do anything the third Prince suggests because if it turns out the Prince Anei wants then he will gain more trust from within the kingdom and beyond and that can not be good for his other sons whatsoever.

'' Let's hear what you have to say but I make no promises of considering your suggestion at all or even think about it. I will decide if it is worth my time to think about it or not. ''

That statement alone got a sinister smile out of the Prince too quick for the king to see. The king can say whatever he warns but the Prince is a lot closure to getting his way nonetheless.

***

Sitting gloriously on his own throne, Prince look at every face that is trying to process what the king just said. It is not everyday that the king makes a decision without informing the royal cabinet and if he was not so busy enjoying the look on all their faces way too much he would surely have given himself a pat on the back for this great achievement.

The real bomb has not yet landed but everyone is already super shocked well who would blame them, it's not everyday that the king makes such a huge decision single handed without discussing it with the royal cabinet before hand. Serves them right for always thinking so low of him, now let's see who will be influencing the decisions of the king more huh.

'' I do not intend my decision any farther with any of you nor do I intend to change my mind about this so I would suggest we all work together just like I have instructed and before I forget allow me thank my third son publically for he was the brain behind this solution although I made the decision myself, he truly did help me to make a right decision. ''

Aha there it is the bomb that no one expected, everyone looked shocked even more if that is possible but the first Prince's jaw is already on the damn floor seriously since when did the king start taking advice from his third son that he has never acknowledged before.

Elder Ken has been out of the recent Royal cabinet sessions because of some illness but today he has come to tell the king that he wants to resign soon but upon seeing the third Prince sitting on his own throne with a pride and a powerful aura, the elder has decided to stick around a little to see why after so many years the Prince have decided to act like a true Prince.

Elder ken is the wisest person in the whole kingdom, he has seen days that no one in the throne room can imagine. He knows all the King's wives even Prince Anei's mom and since her death the elder has kept on eye on the orphan child.
