The new world

Chapter 5 Disowned

Everyone was quiet for a while until Hermione spoke up.

"Don't chase him away Kelvin, his trying to support us" The other five nodded at Hermione's words.

Seeing the others against him, the lion man felt disappointed as he spoke.

"I know he's trying to help but I don't trust him, he mighty kill us on the battlefield and loot our belongings, let's be wise guys"

"Hey man, I'm not a thief or a looter,I choose to be here with you guys because I love your battle cooperation"

Henry spoke as he stared deep into Kelvin's eyes with anger, but Hermione intervened between the two before anything serious could happen. "Why are you treating him this way Kelvin, if not for him, we would have suffered a face even worse than death!"

Hermione spoke as she turned towards Henry with a smile on her face, she slowly placed her hands on his arms trying to calm him down.

"I don't know his problem with you, but only him have issues, the others find you amusing"

Henry turned to face the others and they all agreed with her.

"Thanks for everything, I really love your team Hermione but at this point, I've to leave"

Smiling at her, Henry delivered his parting words, the last she would hear from him for a while, as he spun on his heels to depart.

His unexpected smile caught Hermione off guard. "I love you Henry!" She scream as tears slowly drip down from her eyes.

"What's your problem with Henry, he saved us bro" Lina spoke and shook his head

"I'm so sorry guys, but we don't need anyone else in our team" Kelvin spoke sadly with his head down.

"I hate you, I hate you, Kelvin!" Hermione scream and hit Kelvin's chest as tears dripped down from her eyes and she walked away from the group.

This made everyone look at Kelvin like an i***t as they walked away from him one after the other.

After a thirty-minute walk, Henry arrived at the castle.

*Sigh*

Henry sighed as he shut the door of his room and slowly walked towards his bed.

Shortly after Henry sat on his bed Helen walked in with a plate of food.

"Here my prince, forest rabbit with fairly leaf salad".

"Thanks Helen" Henry muttered as he slowly stood from the bed and walked to the table, looking at the food with a confused face.

"Is there something wrong, my prince?" Helen asked.

"What's fearly leaf salad?" Henry replied.

Helen looked baffled for a second but smiled as she explained. "It's a salad grown by the elves that have special healing properties"

She looked at from his head to his toes and immediately her eyes widened.

"My prince is everything alright, what happened to your royal adventure dress?" Helen asked in shock.

Henry chuckled and looked at the girl who was examining him like a scientist. After taking a few bites of the food he replied. "I'm surprised you just noticed".

"Hahaha"

He laughed at her confused look before he continued. "It's a long story, don't worry I'm okay"

Helen nodded suspiciously before moving on as he finished his meal. "I believe one day you will make the king proud"

Smiling while pushing the plate away, she informed him of something he needed to do.

"Well my prince, the king wishes to see you now that you're done with your meal"

"I hope it's for good" Henry muttered in a low tone as he drank the glass of water on the table.

Helen was about to reply but Henry cut her off. "My prince"

"Just call me Henry" he interrupted.

Helen looked baffled, not expecting him to request her to call him by name because it's a taboo.

But she taught to herself 'He's always like this'

So she just accepts it because she doesn't have a choice.

Helen smiled before replying "Okay Henry"

Henry sighs anticipating the king's intentions. He taught. 'Why the sudden call? I guess they will probably kick me out like in those novels with disappointed parents'

But he didn't bother dwelling on it right now. He needed to go to the library and learn some spells before leaving.

"Helen let's go to the library first, then I'll go see Father once I'm done. Will you show me the way?" Henry muttered.

"Yes let's go" She replied before leading him there.

After a few minute's walk around the hallway, they arrive at two imposing doors standing firmly before them. She turned to him and said. "It's behind those doors, it's the biggest library in the kingdom"

"Wow, this impressive" Henry muttered as he slowly opened the door and walk into the library. He saw rows of bookshelves stretching as far as his eyes could see.

He looked around the large room before spotting the spell books stored in one corner and approached them. Helen followed behind as he started to looking around for spell book.

'Fire blast. This will be of good help' Henry spoke inwardly as the spell book caught his attention.

"Hold this" Henry pulled the book from the shelf and handed it to Helen.

'Stealth' He spotted another spell book and pull it from the shelf.

"Let's go to the table" Henry muttered as he spotted a table by the window.

Helen followed him as he walked towards the table. Henry turned other. "If you want to do something else or read yourself, you can do it."

She smiled before going to get a spell book. He noticed she was also holding earth magic when she sat beside him.

This made him curious so he asked. "So you can use Earth's magic?"

Helen smiled before answering, "Yes I can also use light magic.

Hearing her response he was shocked. According to the fragmented memories he received from the past Henry those who possess more than one element are gifts from the gods.

After pondering this for a few minutes, he shook his head and started reading the book he choose. Hours passed before Henry looked up from his book and noticed the sun setting down through the window.

Finishing with the reading, he dropped the book on the table, creating a resounding bang that startled Helen, causing her to jump with a surprised yelp.

Henry started laughing and Helen glittered at him before joining In on the laughter.

[System Notification: Fire blast and Stealth skills learnt] notification popped up and he was the only one that can see it.

Learning these two spells brought him joy, the key of using the spells wasn't hard, just imagine it and understand how it works.

While waiting for Helen to join him, he returned the book to their shelves. When she was walking towards him, he examined the girl and couldn't help but find her cute in her maid uniform.

He couldn't help but admire her beauty even more. He started at her as she approached, lost in thought. Standing before him, she asked, "Hello Henry, are you okay?"

Still lost in a daze he muttered "She's more beautiful than Hermione"

Blushing at his comment, she felt too shy to meet his gaze, so she guided him out of the library.

They both felt awkward as they left, with Helen leading him to the king while avoiding eye contact. Walking down the quiet hallway, they maintained silence till they arrived at the King's chamber.

"Wow!" Henry couldn't help but voice out in amazement at the sight before him.

The king's chamber walls and ceilings are dras, with intricate patterns and designs etched into the metallic surface. The floor is made of polished golden marble, reflecting the light of crystal chandeliers and casting a warm glow.

Golden tapestries hang from the walls, depicting scenes of royal triumphs and mythological tales. The furniture is crafted from solid gold, with the throne at the room's center, adorned with precious gems and symbols of royal power.

Candelabras and vases are made of gold, adding to the room's splendor. The air is thick with the scent of incense, and the atmosphere is heavy with the weight of majesty.

"He's here my king" Helen muttered and bowed her head before walking over to the maids.

With one hand resting on the throne, he instructed Henry to sit.

"Henry you've failed a simple quest and brought shame to the kingdom, a Kingdom known for producing powerful warriors" King Darkoo spoke with anger as he slowly walked toward Henry.

"I'm not sure you're my blood" the king spoke looking deep into Henry's eyes.

Henry hesitated, unsure of how to respond, but before he could speak, King Darkoo brushed it off saying, "Actually never mind I don't care"

That's when King Darkoo continues, "All your siblings possess remarkable talent and have contributed to this family, but you... You are useless and unwanted. Even your mother agrees"

"You lack skill with the sword, in magic, and administration. You are no use to the family. Therefore I hereby banish you"

"You're no longer my son, leave at first light tomorrow, and I don't want to see you again. Understand. boy?"

Helen gasped at King Darkoo's decision, while Henry met his gaze calmly and replied, "Okay I'll leave."

Exiting King Darkoo's chambers, Henry headed to his room and Helen followed behind to begin packing. On their way, they encountered two of his elder brothers, Kibdra and Fushion.

Kibdra aged, twenty, and Fushion, aged twenty-three, were notorious for getting away with mischief.

Kibdra stared at Helen inappropriately, angered Henry, who quickly warned his brother. "Keep your eyes off her!"

The boy scoffed, and Fushion spoke "I heard about what happened, it's a shame for someone like you to be born into the royal family"

Henry stared at them defiantly before bursting into laughter. "Hahahahaha. Go to hell idiots"

Taking hold of Helens hands, he walked away, leaving the two boys bewildered.

Henry slammed the door closed, still holding Helen's hands. Looking at her face he noticed her cheeks were red like tomatoes. He quickly apologizes to her. "Sorry about that. I don't like him looking at you like that"

Helen smiled as she muttered inwardly 'I love you, my prince'.

She then gets a worried look on her face before asking. "But what will you do"

Thought for a second "I'm going to become an adventure, I think I will earn many coins that way"

Henry rubbed his chin before he continued "Yeah he's disappointed, but I still don't see a reason why he should throw me away"

He suddenly got a brilliant idea and asked "Hey Helen can you fight?"

She tilted her head before quickly nodding, "Yes my late mom taught me before she started serving the king".

Smiling as he heard her response "Then why don't you come with me? As Best friends, we can become adventures and explore the world together"

After hearing his offer, she looked sad. "Henry I can't, my late Mom signed a contract with the king"

He got a sad look on his face at the taught of separating from her.

'I'm always happy when I'm with her' Henry spoke inwardly.

The original Henry liked her a lot; the same feelings were pressed unto him when their soul became one.

"Don't worry, I promise I will come back for you" Henry muttered.

Helen nodded before getting ready to leave "I promise I'll see you tomorrow morning before you leave".

"Good night Henry," she said as she left the room.
