“Why are you here Gareth?”The king asked
“I just find out the horse you gave to Veal is healthier than mine, I want the one with Veal”He reported and King Thea shook his head disappointedly
“Gareth”The king called and he slowly raise his face up
“I don’t want you to be greedy, you choose that horse yourself. Why did you suddenly change your mind? You should learn how to be contented with what you have, you are the first child and you will take over the throne when I’m no more on earth”He said gently
The king last statement made Gareth smile
“I understand, my king I don’t need another horse, may you live long my king” He smiled and bow before walking out of the palace

“Really? What if we want your body, will you give it to us?”The first man smirked and the girl give no answer the man
The second man grab her hair violently and slap her hard on her cheek, he was about slapping her again when he felt pain on his hand and he check only to find his hand bleeding
“Who is the soul that did this to my hand??”He yelled and the girl shrike in fear
Then a boy appeared, his nose and mouth is covered with white cloth, only his glittering eyes is visible which make him unrecognizable for the men.
“Who are you”The first man asked walking to him fiercely
He remove the white scarf revealing his pointed nose matching with his small rounded pink lips.
That is him, Veal
Veal is the youngest prince in the palace and he look so calm and innocent but don’t be deceive by his look, he is so stubborn and fierce but the villagers still love him.
Why? Coz he is a good prince, he is known for his good attribute, some of his good characters are; Honestly, kindness, integrity, justice,and fearlessness
Tho, his mother died after giving birth to him but that doesn’t make him lack morals coz Hera, his late mother favorite maid took care of him, apart from Hera and Archer nobody else like Veal in the palace, the king detest him so much and consider him as bad luck coz he lost his favorite queen after she gave birth to him. The other prince are jealous of his ski||s and talent and they find themselves hating him same with the queens.
Veal is used to being treated specially in the palace so, he doesn’t care about that anymore
“Your highness”The men chorused and fall on their knees, they knew they are dead coz he will surely punish them
He is sixteen years old but he have the action of adult and he use his authority legally
“Excort yourselves to the palace and explain to the king what you’ve done wrong”He ordered in his thick voice
“My prince please…”
“Do you want me to punish you myself?” He cut them off

Veal walk to the young girl
“Are you okay?”He asked
“Yes am fine…thanks for saving me my prince”She bowed and he smiled before walking away

“Then, go and report to her mother, queen Zuriel”Queen Ebbe Said
“She was there”Lima shurggled
“Okay then, let’s go to the king”Queen Ebbe said and they walk to the king palace while the guards follow them quietly
They meet Queen Zuriel and Ronea there
Queen Zuriel frowned when she saw Queen Ebbe walking to the palace with Lima
“Your highness”They chorused
“My king, I have came to report what Ronae did to me, she snatch my writting stick away from me “Lima bowed shortly
“Ronae, why did you do that to your sister?”The king asked
“I was just joking, here is your writting stick”Ronae smiled and stretch her stick to her
“Thank you”Lima said and collect the stick from her
They both walk out of the king palace charting happily
“May you live long my king”Queen Ebbe said and walk out of the palace
“Queen Ebbe, is becoming suspicious she is not…”The two men that appeared at the king palace made Queen Zuriel statement incomplete
“Your highness”They chorused
“My king please…”
“Your highness”They heard a familiar voice and they turned to see Veal. They plan to lie and let the king forgive them but they won’t be able to do that since Veal is here.
“I caught them trying to rape a girl”Veal reported and the king roll his eyes
“Did you rape the girl?”King Thea asked
“No my king, he caught us before that”He replied
“You can leave,”The king said to them
“I can see you gain pleasure in punishing villagers, I don’t know why you want me to punish them when they did not even rape the girl”The King snapped at Veal and the two men eyes widened
‘Of course it is part of the law of Sukrish Kingdom that attempted rape is a crime so, why is the king pardoning them and he even scold prince Veal’One of the men thought
“Thank you my King”The chorused and find their way out of the palace
Aiden smirk when they left, he intentionally brought them to the king so that the villagers will know the true identity of King Thea, he use to act like he love Veal whenever there is festival or the villagers are around but inside, he h@?? him so much
“I know you won’t do anything about it,, I brought them here so they will know the type of King you are and the type of father you are”He said with a smile
“Are you out of your mind?”The king yelled regretting what he did
“The king did not punish men that are trying to rape a girl yesterday, which kind of King will pardon rappers”Veal mimicked in a tiny voice before bursting into laughter
“What are you doing Veal?”The king yelled.
“May you live long my king”Veal bowed and walk away
