after the duel between uncle and cousin, fredrick head back to his chamber to change his burnt clothes resulting from the fire ball """hey buddy, I thought you are one h.e.l.l of a strong dude, but you can"t even defend against your uncle""" aglovale said as both of them takes their leave, after prince Richard had gone into his chamber roomFredrick smiled as he watched aglovale poured out his embarra.s.sment """So you want me to sign my death contract before my time, if it was actual combat, I would be dead in seconds...... That guy is not somebody you will play with, I believed he is stronger than my father and........ ""
Cutting him off aglovale chipped in with high pitch """ so you mean, prince Richard is stronger than your father??, then why did he not a.s.sume the throne?? """""
"""" bring down your voice dude, are we fighting?? Why yell at me.... """""
"""""Sorry bro, am just surprise at the revelation and find it hard to believe, I thought the king is the strongest of all """"""
""""" back then, he was and might still be but am telling you what I know....... When the contest for the throne began, we can a.s.sume they were at the same level, I mean my father and prince Richard but it been more than twenty years now dude and all my father do is sit down and watch some bunch of old men tell him story of how they have run the kingdom, a.s.suring him that everything is fine while the actual system is corrupt and devoid of the king"s sympathy, others will think the king is wicked but in reality the king is ignorant of what is happening........ They control his life like a puppet, do this... No don"t do that... Your Majesty we have to do this""""" fredrick continue explaining his reason ill.u.s.trating every details, as he mimic the ministers in their ways of preventing the king from doing what he wish """"""""" but for my uncle, he is a lone wolf, traveling around at his own will, he have all day to himself and can decide to practice and train all day..... I can"t even remember the last thing my father have a real fight........ ""
""""But you told me that when your mother died, he fought those that killed her"""" aglovale asked, getting the puzzle pieces together
"""""" no that day, there was not a fight..... But a b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacre..... My father was more or less a lunatic slaughtering anyone and everyone in sight....... You go back to your chamber and...... ""
"""" what about my chicken and wine?? """" aglovale asked, cutting him off again as they both reach the path that leads to their separate destination
""""""I will have a maid send it to you as soon as it is ready""" fredrick replied absent minded, not realizing that it has been more than an hour, he ordered for the chicken
""" you don"t look well, are you ok?? Don"t tell me you are feeling bad losing to the same man you said is stronger than your father """" aglovale asked, as he moved closer to fredrick
"""No am fine, was just thinking about my father.... Why can"t I relate with him the way I do with my uncle.... But don"t worry am fine, it just an emotional swing, am perfectly fine"""" giving out a soft smile, as he try to hide his feelings
"""""Hmm maybe you should meet with him constantly and stop.... "" cutting himself off and choosing his word """" you take care of your self tomorrow we have some bad a.s.s to kick"""" he pats fredrick on the shoulder and walks away, back to his chamber
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The evening sun is shining, giving out it golden rays, the whole palace castle is as usual quiet, gradually the twilight fades away as night encroaches, leaving evening dark but still calm as the night breeze flow pa.s.s every crook and crane, the whole area are brighten up by the full moon, gradually going overhead the sky
Unable to kick off the words of prince Richard from his head, fredrick keep on toasting around on his bed, he replay the whole day"s event, from meeting with aglovale and waking him up.... Going to the meeting and delaying his impending marriage contract... Going back to aglovale who told him, about Celina"s perception towards him and asking for chicken and wine.... Having a one sided duel with his uncle.... And here he is, unable to sleep, smiling and frowning at interval, he stares at nothing in particular """"" I have never felt this way before... Maybe I should meet with him
King Raymond chamber
"""""Sometimes aglovale goes off, talking his feelings and ideals without choosing his words, and now his careless or should I say carefree speech, he made today is actually the truth... To relate with my father, I have to initiate it""""" fredrick thought to himself as he walk into his father"s chamber """"" is my father inside??? """ he asked the guard on his duty at the door post, not even waiting for the guard"s answer, he pushed, open the closed door and walks in
""" father??, """ he called out as he walk round the room inspecting everything inside """" where could he be??, as far as I remember, the custodian of the laws and those old men that call themselves Ministers of the king won"t let him stay outside late """" fredrick wonder as he keep on browsing through the room
""""I cant remember the last time I entered this chamber, and yet everything is still the same, just the way mother left it""""" fredrick smiled to himself.............. After silently going through his parents chamber, he stumbled unto a door, curiosity got the better part of him and he pushed the stiffed door open.... And what stares back at him is his father study room, the room have no window but an air vent and an open roof for its visibility, from which the full moon rays pa.s.s through and brighten the room, just enough to get the shape and structure of the room, books and scrolls all packed in the shelf at one end of the wall is a big portrait paint drawing of the three brothers in their youth ( Richard Raymond and Roland);
and on the table are scrolls and book, some opened, some closed.... And ink case and pen.... Two lamp stood at the edge of the table and other things like a copy of the royal seal, a necklace supposedly belong to the late queen, a painting of the queen and another one, of fredrick when he was six... Everything covered with dust as the room have not been accessed since, I have never seem any of these things, all my life..... Here is more or less his secret chamber, where he stored his treasures and valuables..... Who on earth will believe, he have a painting of me???? """"" fredrick stood still watching the whole room, after a while he on the lamps on the table using fire from his index finger.
Picking up one scroll with purple coat, he opened it and glanced through it

Prince fredrick chamber
After leaving his father room, he heave a sigh of relief, but was surprise his father was kind to him despite knowing fully we that he have trespa.s.s and entered his study room........ Well it was worth the risk he said as he head to the the sit-out ( a section in the chamber, where the prince usually relax, it has its own roof and seats, rolls of flowers are used to fenced and beautify the area)
"""" go to the kitchen and ask the chief chef, there to give you the chicken I ordered, to be prepared, bring a bottle of wine and some goblet as well....... And you go to the visitors section and call my friend, he is in the second chamber by the left""" immediately he entered his sit out, he saw a guard and a maid kissing and he ordered them around, not minding what he saw them doing, and the terrified maid and guards, hurriedly left the place to, hoping the prince do not stretch the issue
""""Every body need love, and those two are no exception """ the less concern prince said as he cleared the place and put on the lamp hanging onto the roof, to continue reading the scroll he got from his father"s reading room
