After struggling for minutes,i was already close to my quarter and i continue dragging my foots as i walk pass the guards and maids.
“My prince?”
“Oh my God!
“Let me help u my prince”
“You are bleeding ur highness”
“Careful u might fall”
The maids and even the guards tried to help me but I didn’t give them the chance to do anything.
Soon i was in my quarter and in no time struggling toward my room and that’s when liam saw me.
Shuan and chard also turn around seeing the shock expression on his face and they all rush to me.
“My prince”they chorused “what happened to u”they asked worrily but i didn’t give them a reply.
“Don’t worry about me,am fine”i force myself to say those words and they helped me info my room where my mom is already seated.
Oh she’s awake?? “Mom”i smiled weakly but the blood trailing behind me caught her attention more.
She quickly get off the bed not minding her own wound “go get the royal doctor liam”she yelled and liam rush away.
“What gallo?? Are u ok? Who did this to u”she asked as she helped me lie on my face on the bed while i try to stand up but she didn’t allow me.
“Shut up,stay still and just lie down”she said firmly”am really ok mom,u are also hurt already”i groan.
“What happened?? Did the king punished u for what u did??”she asked almost crying”no mom,i fought with Chris nd micheal and we all get punished except they chose guards to take their punishment”i explained.
“How many lashes?”she asked”fifty dragon whip”i replied with a week smile and she burst into q fresh tear.
“Mom,don’t cry,am seriously ok,my wounds will heal up soon and u know,it’s just a slight pain”i said .
“Why are u so stubborn,u could have just choose the guards to get ur punishment too,why are u like this?”she won’t stop crying and i sit up.
“Mom,i can’t let the guards get punished for my mistakes,and look,,,look at this bandage,it’s my fault,i really deserve this punishment”i said.
The doctor came in immediately and mom forced me to lie on my face again while the doctor applied the ointment.
Soon he’s done and of course he already cleaned the blood “your highness,u should rest too,the wound is still fresh and u are only lucky that the dagger didn’t cut the vein and if u stress it too mu h it might really cut and u won’t survive it”he said and left.
Mom just nods at his words and i sat up on the bed,i really don’t like this.
He wrapped a bandage around my entire tummy and across my shoulder and chest to cover my back .
After much persuading with pleading,mom finally left the room to rest too and i look at my friends.
“You guys should go and rest too,u haven’t rest since we get back from the war and it’s my fault”i said.
The three of them now slightly and walk out of my room while I lie down with my face and sighed heavily.

? THREE YEARS LATER ?
? Authoress pov ?
Three years! It’s been three years and Jake continue to grow into that handsome, charming guy everyone wish to marry.
Day by day he’s know all over the empires ,kingdoms and nations and his dreadful nickname never die either “the devil son”.
The nickname that make empires feared him,the nickname that spread like the fire in the harmattan,the same nickname he used to won numerous battles.
The nickname he used to conquered many empires and kill many kings,queen,princes and princesses who refused to surrender.
He never loose any battle to any empire and he’di now his father’s strategic of winning wars and DANTRUS EMPIRE is probably one of the the biggest nations now.
He never failed to go to the battlefield and came back victorious.
Any kingdom against them always give up hope the moment they realized he’s the one leading the troops.
Even his brothers are starting to feel insecure and threatened by him cause they thought he will soon become their father’s favorite.
But they just don’t realise the king still h@të jake.
?Jake pov ?
I sat by the corner watching everyone enjoying themselves ,dancing, drinking, chatting and some are going into different chambers with different ladies.
And my brothers?? They are also here,taking different women into chambers and leaving their mistresses and wife at the palace.
This is some useless annual celebration just for men normally organised by the noblemen for young men to enjoy themselves.
Nothing fun just dance what drunk and f*ck which seem really disgusting to me but what can I do when my mom want me to obey the king and come here.
Am so not feeling the vibe here at all and i wish I could just get the hell out of this place.
“Oh princey! Don’t u like what u are seeing??”some ladies came over to me acting all seductive.
“It will be a better history for u if u get the f*ck out of my sight within a sec”i said and could feel my eyes turning to flame and they all ran off immediately.
“Stupid bi*ches”i cursed and continue sipping my wine when some annoying screams suddenly came up in the middle of the hall.
The ladies start screaming and start clinging to men to help them and at the same time dead bodies start falling to the ground.
But no one here have any weapon with them,it’s a strict rule for the celebration that no weapon is allowed.
I rush to the middle of the hall too and quickly check the dead bodies which throw me into more confusion.
They are all killed with the same technique and stab exactly on the sale spot which is by the beck region.
This mean it’s either only one person is doing the entire killing or men trained with the same swordsmanship methods.
Now everyone is at alert looking around in fear and those who runs for the door met their death before they even managed to get out.
Suddenly some men flip don’t from the ceiling and they are about ten “there he is,kill him first,he must get away”one of them spoke and guess who he pointed at?? Me!!
I chuckled slightly as they all rush to attack me together while all the ladies beside me ran iff into different directions.
It wasn’t an easy one cause I don’t have any weapon with me” but it’s too easy when u can do this”i said and set three of them ablaze.
A sudden stab get me from behind and i grab the guy by the neck before i disfigured his face with fire and threw him away.
I grab one of the swords on the ground and immediately end the remaining six men and tried to check their identities but nothing to identify them.
“Next time u want to act as assassin’s,get more information about ur target before u attack”i said and left the place too.
Tbc…
