Alvin P.O.V

The Ancient Maze- Royal Palace

A violent howl echoed through the halls of the Royal Palace of the Ancient Maze. Doors & Windows opened forcefully announcing the arrival of an upcoming invitation maids and footmen were popping out of them.

The castle has lost his soul ever since some have abducted the young princess mercenaries. Vivian, Alena's closest friend, and servant became heartbroken, with a face filled with terror, yet there was a glim of hope filled her as she prayed every night for Alena's safe return.

Alvin spent most of his mornings closed in his private chambers, reviewing the Kingdom's account ledgers, avoiding Vivian's worried eyes. However, everything changed when he heard a moved outside his chambers. Alvin snatched up his coat, even though he knew that he was the King now, and if his father were still alive, he would scold him for appearing in public in his leather tunic even if the Kingdom was on fire or under massive attack.

It turned out that a red-headed man was responsible for the assault. He moved forward in his heavy gear. Soldiers tried to maintain him, yet they failed miserably. Dark tattoos covered what was visible underneath his armour, drawing of an ancient, unknown languages covered parts of his chest and showed briefly on his neck. Then slowly their eyes met. Alvin took a deep breath as he tried to understand who was staring back at him.

Alvin stepped closer to the man as he saw violence was being formed right before him. As the man stepped closer to him, "Have you lost your mind, man? Who do you think you are?"

One of the soldiers spoke with fear pure in his voice, "I'm sorry my lord, but we couldn't stop him."

By the time, the soldiers finished his words they were facing the King's study. Alvin smiled in victory; he knew that this was his chance to get Alena back.

Alvin didn't wait for his footman to announce his presence as he pushed the door with his free hand, asking the red headed man to follow him inside.

The soldiers tried to accompany him, but I stopped them. "Stay outside; I want to discuss this alone."

The man looked around the room, sizing everything up then he gazed back at me. He cared himself with some much elegance, and he knew something my soldiers didn't. He could overcome them any moment he wished. Slowly their eyes met, hatred was evident in his eyes something Alvin knew far too well.

One of Alvin's trusted Knights refused to leave the King's study, leaving him alone with this stranger.

"You're a man of a few words; I take stranger." Asked the Knight.

A smirk started to cover his lips as he stared back at him with no interest in his eyes.

"That enough!" Shouted Alvin, gazing at his Knight then his eyes were fixed on the stranger, "and who might you be? I saw you somewhere, but I can't seem to remember."

Alvin sat in his chair, gazing up at the red-headed, waiting for him to answer his previous question.

"You're right, Alvin." Said the stranger with pure sarcasm dripping from his lips.

"It's King Alvin, for you!" He shouted slamming his fist against his desk.

"King? You're a King without a crown, Alvin. You humour me. When a weak general oversteps his place. Should I remind you that you're nothing but a coward who left his father behind and stole what wasn't his?" He taunted him.

Alvin saw flames forming in the eyes of the stranger, and he couldn't deal with his harsh words any longer. "State your business," He hissed.

"I got a message from, Leon. The same man who stole your lovely bride." He taunted him.

"My dear, Alena." Said Vivian as she rushed into the room. Two footmen rushed to shove a chair underneath her. "Where is she?" She asked staring at the stranger.

"If you got a message spit it out!"

Slowly he reached for the paper roll and shoved it in Alvin's hand. Alvin's stared at the paper roll in his hands as he opened it slowly. "Let's see how much gold that Savage wants." He murmured.

Alvin's scrawled as he read the paper then he looked back at the red-headed man. "Is this a joke!" He roared.

The servants kept their eyes on the ground as he spoke. Vivian was the only one who was gazing hatefully at Alvin as another wave of anger started to control him.

"Who do you think you are, walking into my castle like that? Does Your master think he's my match?" He hissed.

"What is it, my Lord?" Asked Vivian, but she was meet with deaf ears.

The stranger looked even more intimidating, "My name is Art, and you are no match for my master, as you called him."

When Alvin didn't answer, Vivian slowly reached his desk, reading the paper with wide eyes.

"He can't be serious! No one would support this." She hissed in fear as she knew that Alvin won't give Leon what he wanted.

"I can't agree," Replied Alvin. "this is the work of nothing but a madman." He said slamming his hand against the desk before he rose to both his feet. "So your master can match my power? We'll wait and see."

Even though would never give Leon what he wanted, but he wanted Alena back. He needed to get her back. Vivian didn't remain calm, "What about Alena?" She argued, "You're going to leave her at their mercy?"

Alvin moved closer to Vivian, "Don't worry. I will get her back; I give you my word." He tried to assure her.

Art laughter filled Alvin's study, "You're an amusing man, Alvin. I pray for your sake that you can keep your promise."

"What should we do with man, my lord." Asked the remaining knight.

"Take him-" Art didn't allow him to finish.

"If you think you have a say in this Alvin you're mistaken." He challenged. "I'm here to deliver and trust me those jokers can't keep you safe if I touch my sword." Said Art with a smirk.

Alvin pride sting, when he heard Art's words.
