Aren got down from his horse carriage an started to walk . He was wearing a green dress with jewels attached to it he . He started to walk towards the sun lake . Darel was walking On his left side just a step behind and on his right side there was a tall man whose hair become grey . He had a long scar on the right side of his face which stretched down his face . He had his left hand on his sword that was on his waist , as if to react to any danger that comes.
“ commander gallow had the emperor arrived yet” aren asked without turning his head towards gallow . “The emperor is said to e arriving with the bride young master”.
After a few minutes they arrived near the lake . Some lower ranked nobles tried to make connections with the third prince but the high ranking nobles didn’t even a glance as he was only the third prince and he was the son of one of the emperors mistresses . But his mother was one of the emperors favourites so she convinced the emperor to give him the last name valquez and not make him a bastard . It was easier to convince the emperor as the boy was born with the blessing pf the sun god .
Aren adjusted really quick to his new leg and people were amazed to see aren walk as if he had never lost a leg . The ladies couldn’t take there eyes off him as his golden hair shined in the rays of the setting sun .
“So were are they ? Weren’t they supposed to scout for intruders?” Aren asked in a displeased tone.
“I am sure that nathan has got to the others with that silver tongue of his” gallow said in annoyed manner . “I think you should be as cruel and ruthless when you trained him” aren said in a cold voice with a stern face while looking at gallow . “ they are strong and they have potential . They can even go up against 50 elite knight if they want” gallow paused for a second and started to speak again as he set his gaze towards the horizon “but he is different , since the first day I met him I saw the potential of that boy that is like an abyss that devours anything that comes in his path”. Gallow paused for a second and spoke again . “ and besides that I think the age has gotten to me ”.
Aren spoke with a little laugh and a smile on his face . “alright I guess they have to blow some steam off for today . So instead of them you would take on there duty commander gallow ”. Gallow let out a sigh and spoke . “well I guess I should take a walk”.Gallow started to walk away from aren .
“Have you met the groom yet your highness ?”. Darel asked aren as if to make some small talks to pass time until the emperor arrives . “No I have not”. Aren replied to darel without any change to his stoic expression . Darel continued “I have heard that he is a fearsome warrior with unrivalled physical prowess” darel paused for a second and then continued . “people say that he is the strongest man in the east” .

“The strongest ahh?” Aren paused for a second and started to speak again “so it is a good thing that we don’t have to be enemies in the future” . Aren said in a sarcastic manner . Darel gave a little laugh too . Aren though in his mind ‘no one is an ally or an enemy forever , who knows what fate has in store for us’.
Suddenly they both heard loud sound of swords hitting together .Aren and darel rushed towards were the sound came from .
As aren reached the entrance of the entrance of the sun lake were the sound came from he saw two men fighting . Aren recognized One of the men who had scars all over his face as hector and the other one had blonde hair and had a muscular built . It took a minute for aren to recognize the blonde man . He thought to himself ‘well I’ll be damned!’. He saw ronalt running towards him . It seemed like he was also surprised to see the blonde man . Hector left hand seemed broken and but he didn’t seem like he was just going to give up .
Aren started to speak to ronalt “I think you should step in now” ronalt nodded and dashed towards the blonde haired man in a blink of an eye . His sword was covered in flames that was burning in bright red . He blocked the sword of the sword of the blonde man that had nothing flashy about it , but it was hard for ronalt to keep a straight stance after blocking that attack .
The blonde haired man spoke “aah, so you are one pf my brothers bastards ayy” the blonde haired man spoke mockingly . Ronalt was furious after hearing those words and swung his blazing sword at the blonde haired man , but the man dodged the attack by taking a step back .“well look at that this little mutt is angry”. The blonde haired man continued to mock ronalt . Ronalt swung his sword furiously again and again but the man either blocked the attack or dodged it .
“not bad you are good for a bastard” as he said that he kicked ronalt in the stomach . Ronalt flew and landed on his back , he seemed like he was in a lot of pain but he tried to get up . Hector who had a broken hand , he was holding his long sword with the one hand that was still usable . He tried to swing his sword but he froze after seeing the man in front of him was standing with a blazing sword that was blue in colour .
The blonde haired man spoke . “all right , both of you are good but ypu are still not strong enough now , so let me just end this now before you become more powerful in the future” . As he swung his sword that was burning blue sword at hector he was suddenly came into halt after hearing a voice .
“It would be wise for you to put your sword down arell” the voice came from a man who was holding a blazing sword that was also burning blue . “you have become old gallow , the old you would have already cut through my neck without a second thought”. gallow spoke in cold voice “and you have become even more crazy”. Arell started to laugh as the blazing blue flame disappeared from his sword and he put his sword back to the sheath .
“So why have you come here ?”. Gallow asked coldly without any emotion on his face . “before that I think you should put the sword down first”. Arell stared into gallow’s eyes with a focused gaze . Gallow knew that arell was a very hot headed and wild man , but also he wasn’t a coward , he would never do anything that might taint his honor .
Gallow put his sword in his sheath and started to speak . “so tell me why have you come here ?”. Gallow asked with a stern face . Arell’s face became stern as well his eyes looked cold . “ I ...” as he was about to speak he was interrupted by a loud sound of trumpets , and everyone could hear a man shout . “The holy emperor of the laga empire , the descendant of the sun god , artell valquez fourth of his name has arrived” the sound of trumpets were herd again .
