Reborn to Restore

Lost?

Chapter 2

William’s POV

I know that she let him escape and helped, she loves him too much to let him join the court guard. We will find him; I am not worried. All I have to do now is try to be closer to her and hopefully get some information. If all that fails then I will have to turn to my second plan. I will send Marcus to join and then have him act as a spy and weaken the king’s personal guard, he is strong enough to make the captain of the king’s guard. As a commander I spend too much time with the army especially at this time when the feud between the brothers has escalated and the relationship with the neighbouring nations has deteriorated. Our king refuses to act, he is a fool and he will find himself attacked and this country will be enslaved. That will not happen, not under my watch.

Michael’s POV

I have been walking and running for a while now but I do not see any village or any farm nearby. I know father hates me, but for him to want to kill me, what have I done to him?

I kept running without looking back, I know I have to survive, for my sake and my mother’s. I have long crossed the Yuri border and I was now on a foreign soil. I headed towards a distant mountain, as soon as I reached it, I could do nothing but marvel at the beauty of nature that surrounds it. At its foot flows a river so clean and abundant of life that one could spend eternity looking at it. Beyond the river is a forest I could smell various fruits from all the way across the river. I quickly went down and washed myself, I found a basin on the rock and took a bath, I washed my clothes, then gathered some fruit and went back to get my clothes. I went back across the river and went deeper into the forest hoping to find the foot of the mountain and that goodness I found it. I climbed the mountain till I found shade under a large tree. I drifted off to sleep. When I woke up, I was bound.

There were three men before me, they all wore brown shirts, black pants and black leather boots. One was holding an axe, one a sword and the other one a dagger. They were ready to beat me when a taller and muscular man appeared behind them and ordered them to halt.

“He is just a brat, where did you find him?” he asked.

“Beneath the cherry, we should kill him before Boss finds out, he may be a spy”, said the one with the axe.

Who are these people and what do they want with me? And who is this Boss?

“Boss already knows James, and he is on his way”, said the tall man. “What did you find on him?”

“Just fruits and this piece of trash”, James threw my necklace onto the ground.

“Hey that’s mine!” I struggled to break free, I cannot let them destroy a precious gift from my mother.

Just then it began to glow and an old man appeared at the entrance of the cave. I have never seen it glow before; the blue glow got even brighter as the old man approached.

“That is mine!”, he said,
