chapter 6: escapade

Prince merikh pov:

Two day before annual queen selection event.

Everything is calm no movement can be observed like the surrounding have been stilled I strain my ears to hear tiniest of ruffling noise. I stretch my bow hearing movement behind me and in a nanosecond turned around and my arrow did hit home exactly into the heart of dear.

I whistled into the serene forest indicating I got the dear and well my victory. A few whistles also echoed around suggesting they got the message. I made my way towards the bush where the dear laid dead whose doe eye stare at the sky I tied dear to the a fallen branch and carried it to our camp.

-------------

Delicious aroma of roasted dear was wafting around me and my three companions were sitting around the campfire my delta Denver adjacent, Cain and Elliot in front of us. Elliot is son of a lord and we three have been friends for as long as I can remember. Cain is roasting the dear because he lost bet he made clearly thinking out of his head he can never beat me in my own game.

“Oh come on don’t sit there pouting like a annoyed lover” I said teasingly to Cain Denver on my left snickered at my comment while Elliot covered his face to cover his smile.

“I don’t pout” Cain replied clearly provoked “well u do look adorable” I said salting his wounds.

“You must have used your powers that’s why you got the dear before me” at this Elliot lost it and his booming laughter echoing around “you think he used his powers on a dear like he got into the dears brain and and asked it to surrender” he said amid laughing “that’s the funniest shit I have ever heard”.

One can see fuming air coming out of Cain ears now with his face that much red from anger. He stood up and left fuming “now you do look like a provoked wife” Denver called after him and in return he hit the tree with such force that all leaves rattled by such force “whoa easy there no wants a injured wife” and we all laughed at that Cain completely out of the view.

------------

We will be heading back to the castle tomorrow and the competition will begin on next day.

Once the competition will start we wouldn’t be able to leave castle for our escapades and after being crowned as kings such liberties become extra.

I am sure back there in castle preparation must be in full spring and of the ladies may have already arrived. I am not going to burden myself with assumptions about the future and was clearly not going to entertain every arriving lady with my presence and clearly the first day of event is introduction and the fact that it will be public is such a relief because no one will try clinging on me in respect of publicity.

Not wanting to dwell on such line of though I blow the candle covering everything in camp in darkness and closed my eyes waiting for sleep to engulf me in slumber.
