Chapter 11:

Tadashi arrival

The broken bond


At the same time, the courtroom was in havoc. Everyone panicked including the king as the young prince was missing for 3 weeks. Pointing fingers at each other and nonsense conspiracies. Maybe the rebels kidnapped the Prince for getting a upper hand in the war or maybe the elemental users killed the prince as an act for the rebellion for suppression. Maybe it was a foreign attack towards the Royal family to make the younger prince vanished.  

Prince Rehan was standing beside the King and watched the minister begin to accuse each other. The crown prince looked composed regardless the situation he was in. This promptly made the ministers to accused to Prince Rehan.

"Your majesty, Prince Rehan may have something to do with Prince Tadashi's disappearance. As your majesty knows that Prince Rehan is the only Royal that Guardian Spirit Ophir has not given her blessing, making him unfit for the ...." the Minister's sentence stopped mid-sentence as his head flew to the other side of the room.

King Leopold sword dripped blood  and glared at the audience. "No one accuses the royal family, Prince Rehan is my successor and Prince Tadashi will be his aide. No one will ever change that",

"Stop pointing fingers at my nephew. You are nobles. I appointed each and everyone for your knowledge not for your title. Don't ever think that because you're a court member you can slander and talk whatever you presume. This will be the first and last accusation of a Royal family. Now send the royal guards to the Lexdon Forest,"Rehan smirked and knew his uncle showed the ministers their place which was beneath the Cree Helio family

The only place that was not searched by the royal guard was the Lexdon forest . Everyone knows that you can only enter the forest with the spirit of the forest. Before anyone could explained that the room boom with " Greetings to the High Sun of Zenaad, King Leopold the Merciful,"

Tadashi greeted while making his way towards his uncle and his brother. He heard mumbles and whispers as he kneeled near the throne. His heart began to beat faster every moment and he was to afraid what look that his family might give him. When Tadashi was finding words to convey to the king,he caught sight of a headless body being cared away by the guard. It made him gaged but he controlled himself. 

King Leopold was relived that his nephew was back in one piece but irritated that Tadashi made him do work more then he planned to. He just wanted to lay down and rest but his disappearance made him to work to show the people that the king is a caring man and his duty to his family. 

" Your Majesty, Forgive my unruly behavior for worrying you and my dearest brother, I was on a journey to find the rare flower but failed. Once again I ask for your majesty forgiveness,' Tadashi without making eye contact. He knew he would mess up if he looked at his uncle disgruntle look. He didn't want to give Rehan the satisfaction to see him fail. 

"Brother, Please do tell me or the lord before embarking for any journey,"  while Rehan was pissed at Tadashi but collected himself to play the caring brother role which made out  Tadashi as the disruptive one. Rehan squeezed his brother's shoulder blade as a silent expression of frustration.  While whizzing at the pain, Tadashi wished he was back at the head mage family cottage and being by Miguel side.

The throne room was adjourned by the king. Tadashi excused himself from dinner and  Rehan went back to his chambers making plans to go to the Lexdon forest using the portal door to meet the mysterious beauty once again.
