Dust flowing in the air as the sound of steps of horses running vibrated through the air. Horses were mounted by men in full armor. It can"t be mistaken that these are knights.A carriage was in the middle of the knights it was a carriage that was pulled by 4 horses, the carriage was painted white and decorated with golden lines. The carriage was flying a flag which had a symbol of two lions facing each other while standing on their hind legs. A sword was between the two lions and a symbol of a crown above the sword. All the symbols were all colored with gold while the background was pure white.
The knights escorting the carriage numbered in 150. There were also 50 archers riding on separate horses with the knights. A voice sounded from the captain of the knights saying " go faster as you can, men we need to get to the next town before it gets dark. Remember we are escorting a prince our priority is his safety. We are the elite griffin knights so show that we do not tolerate being tardy." The men replied in unison " Yes Sir"
Inside the carriage there were 4 people facing each other. 2 men and 2 women were riding the carriage. The man wearing blue tunics, trousers and also a blue cloak which gold lines are also seen, which all are made from high-quality material. He his the prince of Sirius and also the heir to the throne. He is about 19-21 years old, he had chestnut-colored hair, he has a height of 6 feet, his face was giving a vibe of a handsome guy with a cheerful personality. The other man was wearing full armor except he is not wearing any helmet. It was the same man from before who kneeled down to the king it was the Head of the griffin knights Aljun.
Aljun was speaking to the prince, " Please Prince Eric don"t just leave the kingdom unannounced as it may not be safe for you going on places where the security is unsure. It will give his majesty a heart attack if something happens to you."
You don"t have to worry about me Aljun as I have brought my maid Crystal and my own personal mage Anya. So you don"t have to worry about my safety if I have them both on my sides. I myself is also a knight and a master of the sword. So I can still fight by myself, I noticed you are too tense these days Aljun is there something wrong.
Nothing I"m just not feeling well after you force me to play hide and seek with you every night. I haven"t been sleeping well because you always disappear in the evening while looking for you. You would always appear every morning making me scared of what might happen to you last night.
"Aljun you just say that because you suck at playing hide and seek. I know your starting to get old but you must live your life to the fullest not just concentrate on work. You also have to play sometimes don"t you get bored with always yelling to people."

"Master is right Head knight Aljun you must also give time to play. Said Crystal seating next to Eric. "
You Anya also say something about Aljun "yelled Crystal to Anya "
I just don"t care about your topic " replied Anya"
"Your boring Anya," said Crystal while pouting.
"Your highness I know you are confident about the fighting skills of your maid as she is trained by the a.s.sa.s.sin Alucard. You are also confident about Anya as she is a student of the Lightning Mage Garrell. But not everything can be handled by them, even I can"t win a war without help. And also your highness I"m too old to play games. You have never seen me play hide and seek when I was young. They even call me Aljun the monster of hide and seek."
"I can know why they call you that because your face gets scary when you get angry hahaha. "
"Please don"t speak anymore your highness, "said Aljun in embarra.s.sment on his corny nickname.
After a while, they all felt that the carriage has stopped a knock on the door can be heard. Aljun opened the door and saw one of his men saluting.
" Sir we have arrived at the gates of the town we are currently going through their checkpoint. "
"OK, find an INN when we get inside the town and secure the premises of the INN you found, don"t let anyone suspicious even come near the INN. If they struggle while you are stopping them don"t let them live. Also please increase your patrols so our prince doesn"t play hide and seek again. "
"Yes, sir" replied the man before closing the doors of the carriage.
Prince, please don"t cause trouble for us this time.
"Sure Aljun I swear I will behave this time, but can you get me some street foods when we get to the INN. "
"Sure I will ask some of my men to buy you some. Is there anything else you request."
"There is nothing now just don"t forget about the food."
Can you also buy fruits " said Crystal to Aljun?
Why do you want to buy fruits Crystal? "asked Aljun"
I"m just gonna make some new dish using fruits that I will serve to prince this evening.
"OK I will get those, anything else how about you Anya."
"Nothing."
"Oh OK, but be sure your highness that you won"t cause trouble. Promise me that, please. "
All right I promise, is that okay.
After that, the carriage was going to be inspected but when the guards saw the flag they immediately let the carriage in.
Prince Eric immediately went to his room and went straight to his bed. Crystal and Anya were sharing a room with him. Which is perfectly normal for the trio as they got used to sleeping with each other.
