"Father it's my responsibility as the future king to take protect of my people,and how will I do that if you don't allow me to join the war.I have been practicing daily since I was six .I think it is the hight to I join the battlefield." Lucy tried to convince his dad to allow him join the war.

The northern kingdom was ambushed three weeks ago and they have lost most of the worries.It was there responsibilities as the capital to provide more soldiers,to fight with their enemies.

"it trust your skills and am sure you will saver them but I can't allow you to join the war" the king spoke in a soft and authoritative voice."I will send the soldier to the northern kingdom ,on the sun rise but you are not among them" the king has already made his decision and it was final.

"It means you don't trust me,if you didn't want me to join the war why then teach me how to hold a sword ,when I was still a kid ,I spend my whole life practicing and training instead of play like other kids.When kids my age played with toys I was playing with real swords ,why?" for the first time in his life Lucky raised his voice on his father.

"Lucky" the king shouted.

"I will leave ,before you ask me to leave" he walked out and he didn't even hear his mother talking.

"I will take to him" Queen said and followed her son.

Lucky went straight to his room.He didn't want to talk to anyone. Malik was busy organizing the solider who will be joining him on the war.His father is very confident on his son.

"Mam I don't want to talk to you or anyone right now ,can you please leave me alone" he did even look to see who it was. he was correct it was his mother.

"baby I know sometimes you can be very stubborn.but talking back at your father that was too much and you have cross the line.You,know very well how much he love you and he doesn't want any harm near you ,you have to understand son it's for your own good." Lucky was crying he tried really hard for his mother to notice but it was all in vein.

"baby do you really want to join the war that bad that you are even crying?" she asked.her voice was full of concerned."let me talk to your father and see if she can change his mind.okay baby stop crying and look at me"she rubbed his back.Lucky woke up and embrace his mother tear flowing in his eyes.

Mean while in the throne room Malik waked in to give the king the report about the preparation for the war.

"My king everything is set up and the soldiers are ready to leave tomorrow mid night." Malik reported as he showed the king the war strategy that he and prince Lucky had manage to come up with.

"this plain is really good.Yoi are really good just like your father and that why am trusting you with everything." The king said as was looking through the whole strategy.

"thank you my king .I couldn't have made it without the prince help." Malik informed him with confidence knowing very well with prince Lucky by his side he believes he can conquer everything.

"do you think he is ready to join the war?" the king asked not sure or ready to hear the answer.

"I believe he is more than ready . if you are scared you have nothing to worry I will protect him with my life" Malik is willing to give up his life for Lucky .to protect him is his outermost priority."

Even before the king could answer the queen entered and Malik had to excuse himself to let them talk.

Malik went straight to Lucky room .He was still laying down still not in a mood to talk to anyone.Hwe went to bed and laying beside him embracing him.

He didn't say anything .they stayed like that untile when Lucky felt he was ready to talk to him.he turned around so he could face him.

" do you think that may father will ever allow me to go to war? " dry tears were still visible in his cheeks.

"He will .I know you are good but he is always protect the future king "

"and how will I be able to protect my people if I am not allowed to go to the battlefield." he said putting his head on Malik chest.

"look at me " Lucky didn't want to look at him in the eyes.he was felling a kind of felling that he didn't understand.his heart was racing,the saliva in his mouth was thick and he felt something stack in his throat.

When they eyes met they started in each other eyes without saying a word.onky admiring each other eyes.

Lucky came closer and kissed him on the lips .it was a quick peck.For Malik that was not enough it couldn't quench the thirst that he was having .

He wrapped one hand on lucky beck and the other held his chine.he come closer and started kissing him.

It was an hungry kiss.They were painting trying to breath.Aftet the kiss lucky put his head on Malik head and they were quite.just listening to each other heart beats.

"Malik held lucky chin and turned him so he can face him."Lucky I like you" Malik said looking into prince Lucky eyes.Lucky just smile without giving him an answer.

While in the throne room .queen Shashi went in to talk to his husband the king.But before he could say anything

" sweetie,do you think it is the right thing to let lucky join the war?" he said holding his wife hand." Sweetheart,he has been practicing since he was six and I trust him.and Malik will be there with him.so I don't think there is any problem I trust Malik with prince life." she said caressing king Andrew hand.

King sent one of his gusrds to call lucky .There was a knock on the door.Malik jump out of the bed thinking that may be queen wanting to talk to his son.He seat on the couch opposite the bed ." come in" lucky shouted loud enough for the other person to hear." my prince the king want to see you" the guard said bowing down .

"tell him I will be there" he said.the guard went out leaving Lucky and Malik in the room.Lucky leaned in and gave Malik a kiss on the lips ."we have to talk after I come back." he said smiling.Malik was taken by surprise he didn't expect lucky to act that way.He was happy ,it was a dream come true.Since he was at the age of ten he used to admire lucky knowing very well he can't have him.He cannot touch or kiss him the same way he want.Make sweet love to him and touch him to his heart content.

" Father you called me.Am sorry for talking back at you it wasn't my intention." he said the moment he waked in.

" Let this be the first and the last time you talk back at me.Else you will face the consequences of you action next time." he said faking an angry voice.

" sit down we need to talk" Andrew said gesturing the seat opposite his'.

"I will allow you to go to the war but under one condition" he said looking at his son.

" what is the condition dad" he was scared even without know what his father condition was.

"When you came back you will be engaged.you will have turned 18 years.I will look for a good wife you for and during you coronation party you will be engaged the following day" Andrew stated.

" What if I don't like the Madina you select for me?I don't think I can spend the rest of my life with a person I don't love" he said ."let me think about it and I will give you an answer before dinner time" prince told his father.he stood up and bow his head and went out.

"Malik father has agree to let me join the war " he told Malik when he found him.

"that's great new my prince" he said smiling.

"but he has a condition" he was sad.

"what is the condition" he asked.

"I will have to be engaged the moment I come back"

"I don't see any problem there .in one way or another you will have to find yourself a bride " he was in pain but he had to pretend he was okay.

"how can you say that.Excuse us I need to talk to him in private."lucky told the guards that were with them.He was angry but he couldn't say what he wanted infront of them.he could not let them hear him else he will be in trouble.The guard walk out to leave the alone.

" Are you serious you want me to be engaged.Some few minutes ago you said you like me but know you want me to get married to another person" he almost crying.he tried really hard to hold his tears.

" it is your responsibility as the future king to out the interest of your own people before your own." he said taking small steps towards the river.

Lucky grabbed Malik and turned him so he was face to face with him.

"look at me in the eyes and tell me you want me to get married to someone else.?"

" I don't .even the thought of you with another person make me wanna kill that person .but for know I know you want to join the war.It only four year and after that we will talk about this again if what we think we have for each other I real I know we will cross that bridge when we get there" he said caressing lucky chin.

"Am okay with that for now ,but if we find out that that we fell is real promise me you will support me."

" I promise." he nodded.

"in that way you will forget" he stated.he came closer and gave him a peck.Malik captured his lips and gave him a slow kiss.in the end lucky bites Malik lower lips that made him bleed.

"that way you will never forget our promise" he said smiling.He run away towards the river.Malik touched his bleeding lip and followed him trying to catch him.They countinued play and running after each other .that queen come and founded them still play.she looked at how happy they were, shrugged her shoulders and walked out without saying a word.
