the kingdom maybe.

“My lady!” Sir Lucas shouts out catching her. “Assassins, I hate those. Hunters!” She calls out to her hunters, “Hunt.”

Some of the hunters went out to hunt their prey. “Are you going to be alright?” I ask. “Yes, I’ll be fine.” She said in a weak voice. We put her on a horse and Christian and I got on one with Garret, Paul and Sir Lucas with Sir Kayden with Zoe. We begin riding fast.

‘Hang on milady.” I thought seeing princess Zoe going unconscious. We rode faster and harder. Wind is picking up and so was dirt and sweat. We stopped to mend her wounds. Good thing I knew about nurses. As I began wrapping the bandages she said something I didn’t get.

“Little brother, do not follow me. Don’t think of me, don’t look at me, and don’t do anything with me.” She whispers in a hoarse voice before consciousness over took her. What does she mean? I carry Zoe out and lay her by the fire that Christian made, to keep her warm. I kept her drinking water and eating the things her remaining women hunted.

“This is really good. I never tasted goose before.” Christian exclaims. I have, it’s call taste testing, yes use me if your not sure about your food. If you don’t like it, give it to me and Christian. Zoe looked beautiful sleeping. “We couldn’t find the assassins.”

One of the huntresses told us. “I’m Abigail Forest.” She said. “Terence Evergreen. My master Garret Adohagen, his friend Paul Williams, and my friend, Christian.” I said introducing us. “Does he have a last name?” Abigail asked. Christian shook his head no. “Orphan.” He said to her.

After Zoe recovered, we head back to the trail. We let Zoe ride but she didn’t want too. Abigail and Christian were laughing and talking. The knights were whispering to each other and Paul and Garret were snickering.

“Feel let out?” Zoe asks. “Sometimes, what concerns me is what Garret and Paul are saying.” I explain. “Your master, Garret?” She asked and I nod. With the wind coming towards us, Zoe’s and Abigail’s hair flew. That made them even more beautiful and Garret drooling even more.

“We are here.” Sir Lucas said as we stop to admire the kingdom and the castle within.
The Kingdom

The kingdom was more beautiful than I imagined. As we walked inside, all the people stopped to greet us with: smiles, bows, and waves.

It felt good. No one has ever done any of this to be before. “Wow I feel so high and mighty!” Christian exclaims. As we walked on further, we stopped fro I don’t know what.

“Sir Kayden, Sir Lucas. Welcome back. Had a pleasant journey?” A knight of Chivalry asks.

“All was well. Sir Quinton. How’s your wife?” Sir Kayden asks. “She’s having a child!” Sir Quinton exclaims. “Congratulations fellow lad!” Sir Lucas exclaims as Sir Quinton’s wife comes.

“Oh, forgive my manners I almost forgot.” Sir Lucas says motioning for us to come closer.

“Sir Quinton, Lady Celesta, this is, Garret Adohagen, Paul Williams, Christian and Terence Evergreen.” Sir Lucas greets us as we bow.

“Hello and welcome to the kingdom. You all going to become Knights of Chivalry?” Sir Quinton asks as we all agreed. Then from the corner of my eye, I saw Zoe trying to get away?

“Zoe?” Celesta asks surprised. Glaring at her, Sir Quinton asks in fury, “Where have you been!?”

“Ah…Um…I…Uh…” Zoe stammers and Paul steps in saying, “You shouldn’t talk to the princess like that!” We all agree. The three knights and Lady Celesta all laughed.

“What’s so funny?” Garret asks. “I can talk to her whenever and however I feel like it. She’s my little sister.” Sir Quinton said smiling.

“Come; let’s get them to the castle before our legs fall asleep.” Celesta suggests. All of us again walk towards the castle. At the gate, there where two knights who immediately let us in. The inside was grand, grander than master Garret’s house.

“Honey where could she be?” the king asks.

“Husband, you must calm yourself, I’m sure she’s just with her friends.” The queen suggests. “Father, mother! There here and they have Zoe!” the prince exclaims as we all stopped at the foot of the king.

“Your majesty, forgive me but the journey took longer than expected.” Sir Kayden apologizes bowing to his king.

“I am just glad you’re all safe. Zoe, you got some explaining to do.” The king said. “Yes, father. I am so gratefully sorry. I needed some fresh air so I thought I take a walk but then I came across some Assassins.

But, these men came and rescue me.” Zoe told her father which was half true and half lie. We did come across some Assassins and we did rescue her but she didn’t go for fresh air and a walk.

“Well I’m glad you are safe…” before the king can say anything else. A young boy picks Zoe up! Swinging her around!

“Zoe!!! My little sister! You’re safe! I thank the Lord above!” the young boy exclaims. “Julian! Put me down.” Zoe demands as Prince Julian puts her down.

Turning back to her father she says, “Father let me introduce to you some of the heroes. Garret Adohagen, Paul Williams, Christian, he’s an orphan, and Terence Evergreen.”

“Evergreen, Evergreen. I think I’ve heard of that name before. Have me met?” The king asks looking at me with curiosity. “No, your highness. I’ve never met you before.” I said bowing.

“Ah, your right. You look so much like your father.” The Queen sighs. “You know my father? Do you know where he is?” I ask. But everyone fell silent.

“I knew your father very well. He was a great man. But, I don’t know where he is. People tell me he died. I don’t believe them and you shouldn’t either.” The king told me.

Tears were about to fall on me so I quickly wipe them before anyone could see. “Let’s talk about something different. It’s that alright my king?” I ask. “Please, call me Aiden.” King Aiden said.

“And you can call me Ava, everyone else does.” Queen Ava said. “Your highness. Everyone is ready.” A servant salutes him.

“Excellent, we’ll be right there.” He said to the servant as he disappears. “Come,” He said. “Come and dine with us and your fellow classmates and the Knights of Chivalry!”

Knights of Chivalry

As we enter the banquet hall, everyone there stand up for their king, queen, prince, and princess. “Greetings everyone!” King Aiden shouts out.

“Greetings my king!” Every else shouts back. While the royal take their seats at the high stand. The rest of us went to the first year table but Sir Lucas went to the second year.

“We some new students attending the Knights of Chivalry. The heroes who rescued my daughter.” The king shouts out as people began murmuring.

Then a woman steps up, “Now when I call your names. I want you to introduce yourselves, parents, siblings, and your goal.”

As she unties the scroll, she calls out, “Garret Adohagen.” Garret walks up and introduces himself, “I’m Garret Adohagen, son of Roux and Sarah Adohagen. My goal in life is to hopefully be able to protect my mother and father in time of need.”

After applause he goes to sit down next to some first years. “Thank you master Garret. Paul Williams.” She then calls out.

“I’m Paul, son of Michael and Elizabeth Williams. My goal of life is to hopefully command an army. “Paul says as he is dismissed back to the table.

“Christian.” She calls out again. “I’m Christian. Sorry if I can’t give you my mother’s name but I do know my father’s, Roy.

I don’t know his last name though. I’m an orphan and my goal is to hopefully find a family.” Christian said as he goes to sit next to Sir Kayden.

Now it is my turn, “Terence Evergreen.” She calls to me as I step up and face everyone. “My name’s Terence Evergreen. Not sure if it’s really my last name though. My mother is dead and my father is… missing.”

As soon as I said it everyone murmurs again. “Silent!” The woman shouts out calming everyone. “Continue.”

“My goal in life is to sail around the world and search for my father.” I said waiting to be dismissed. She gives me permission and I seat myself next to Christian who smiled at me sadly.

“The food is delicious!” I hear Paul say to Vincent, another student to has been here a week before we were.

“I hope you find your father.” A boy said as we turn around to look. He wasn’t dressed like the rest of us. “I’m a ranger’s apprentice.” He said before we could ask why he looks like that.

“My name’s Rohan.” Rohan says taking his hand out and we all shook each other’s hands. “I heard you saved Princess Zoe, which was very brave you guys.” Rohan compliments.

After the servants cleared the table, Prince Julian stood up, “My father, apparently go himself drunk again. So I will be giving the Code to the new years. Never traffic with traitors.

Never give evil counsel to a lady, whether married or not; he must treat her with great respect and defend her against all.

To observe fasts and abstinences, and every day hear Mass and make an offering in Church. Remember them, if not, you will pay a dear price.” He explains. I thought I saw Garret shuddering.

‘Is it my day already?’ I thought. After we had our deserts, we all get up, bow to our royals and teachers and head off to our rooms.

“Wow! This is the biggest room I’ve ever seen!” Garret exclaims as we all run in.

“Now everyone,
