The Unruly Slave
Prologue- Struggle for Succession
Zahard, The Mainland which is ruled by House Kiese for decades now!
But as King Şok Kiese's reign is starting to come to an end, it also gives rise to the struggle for succession for the throne!
King Şok has 3 children,
Prince Ajad Kiese, the eldest,
Princess Umi Kiese, 2nd child,
And Prince Eri Kiese, the youngest!
To the west of Zahard is Wuhard and to the east it is Bikard.
Zahard is seperated from Wuhard by the narrow going Exxon Sea which later widens!
Zahard and Bikard are seperated by the Exel River and the wide range of the Etiad Mountain Belt which forms a big wall!
The wall is guarded by the Black Assassins
(Note-Story continued in another spin off)
Prince Ajad Kiese is the crown prince but after the bloody Battle of the Townhall and Battle of the Exel River, his health has deteriorated and he is been attended for numerous injuries......
Princess Umi Kiese and Prince Eri Kiese are looking after most of the matters because King Şok himself cannot attend the court sessions anymore.
Prince Eri has different plans for his future because he is still pondering on the decision of sitting on the throne on behalf of his father and brother.
King Şok's wife Queen Ermi Kiese was in the wedding of Prince Chul and Princess Wyn.
Eri lost his mother at the age of 6 years.
But his sister-in-law Wyn took him and raised him as her own son!
Eri grew up training in warfare and combat and literature and scriptures!
In fact the whole of the Royal Council always supported the viewpoint of Eri on the throne!
Eri has his friend and greatest advisor The Wolf and his guard The Reverberator!
Wolf supported and obeyed Eri always!
He had sworn to protect him from any danger that comes to him!
The Reverberator also never let his master ever alone!
Prince Chul Kiese is the son of King Şok's younger brother Prince Şeik Kiese-, who died in the Great War of Exel River 12 years ago!
Since then, Chul was raised along with the other children by King Şok!
Royal Commander Jissef Konoi is the Supreme Lord Commander of the Zahardian Army.
He is blessed with immortality by the Black God!
He sworn to serve the throne!
Royal Minister Rewon Zihel is the Prime Minister and Head of The Royal Council!
Now since we are done with the introductions, let's proceed to the main story now!
Zahard is divided into 5 provinces-
The Central Province, where the Royal City Palace of Solace is located in the Capital Axil City.
Then comes the Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western provinces.
Kinard is also an island at the periphery of the Southern Province of Zahard.
It's known as the Free City but it's hub to the biggest slave market and prostitutions and drugs and alcohol and what not!?!!!
Kinard is where the story actually begins!
It's evening in the Palace of Solace,
Eri is in his private chambers, The Reverberator as usual in hight alert and Wolf playing the Ukulele and singing with the tune!
The Wolf
🎵🎼🎼🎵🎼( Soft Music with humming!)
Prince Eri is sitting besides the windows reading a book!
A chess board is laid with an unfinished game.......
Prince Eri Kiese
Wolf, neither of us finished the game yet isn't it?
The Wolf
(Still singing)🎵🎼🎵🎼🎵🎼.........
Prince Eri Kiese
Hey! Wolf!
The Wolf
(Continuing to sing) Hmm?
Prince Eri Kiese
Where were we in the game?
The Wolf
I don't remember anymore.......
Prince Eri Kiese
Reverberator, just be at ease for a while can you?
Prince Eri Kiese
There is no possible threat right now!
The Reverberator
No my lord, we can't ever be sure with any moment!
My duty is to protect you and I will not compromise that!
Prince Eri Kiese
Just rest for a while, that's what I am saying!
Princess Umi Kiese
He won't listen to you anyway!
Princess Umi Kiese enters the chambers!
Wolf stands to greet him, and bows!
The Wolf
Greetings My Lady!
Prince Eri Kiese
Are you alright Umi?
Is everything ok?
Princess Umi Kiese
I am fine!
Father has summoned you in his chambers right now!
Prince Eri Kiese
I will see him at once!
Prince Eri Kiese
Umi, please take care of yourself.
Dont overexert yourself!
Princess Umi Kiese
Don't worry I am fine!
You need to attend tomorrow's meetings with the Traders from the West, don't forget to arrive on time!
Prince Eri Kiese
Yes My Lady!
Umi left to attend to the dinner preparations.......
Prince Eri Kiese
I'll go see father!
The Wolf
Should I come with you?
Prince Eri Kiese
No no, it's just some small talk!
You continue with your music!
Prince Eri Kiese
Come Reve (short for Reverberator)
The Reverberator
Yes my lord!
Prologue 2- I Need You!
Eri and Reve are moving through the hallway when they bumped into Royal Minister Rewon Zihel!
Royal Minister Rewon Zihel
Greetings Your Highness!
Are you off for some work?
Prince Eri Kiese
Father sent for me a few moments ago,
Just going to see him!
Royal Minister Rewon Zihel
You are always so responsible your highness, even after so much happening around you, you never leave your composure!
Prince Eri Kiese
Sir Rewon, all of this are your teachings!
I have learned a lot from you!
Royal Minister Rewon Zihel
You are too kind to appreciate me your highness!
There are too many enemies all around you, I would advise you to stay careful!
Prince Eri Kiese
Enemies such as yourself.....right, Sir Rewon?
Prince Eri Kiese
You know what Rewon?!
You should fight me face to face rather than playing such simple tricks,
Why don't you come and play chess with me?!
Royal Minister Rewon Zihel
You and I are always at war, isn't it?
Our methods have always been so different, isn't it?
But what has always been our goal your highness?
To safeguard the country!
Prince Eri Kiese
I don't wish to have any arguments with you!
You are here because father wants you here to be, nothing more and nothing less!
But I will make sure that your authorities are more and more restricted from now on!
Royal Minister Rewon Zihel
As you say, Your Highness!
Prince Eri Kiese
Anyway, I am getting late,
Come Reve!
The Reverberator
Yes My Lord!
Prince Eri Kiese
Rewon is definitely upto something,
I have always been suspicious about him since childhood, he might definitely be planning on something big!
I will go after him and expose him once and for all next time!
The Reverberator
My Lord, can I say something?
Prince Eri Kiese
Go on......
The Reverberator
Should I send guards after him?
Or maybe you would need spies........
Prince Eri Kiese
Sending guards will eventually backfire,
Besides, father will never give me a permit to arrest him!
Sending spies will eventually lead to their murders as they will most probably get intercepted!
The Reverberator
Then what should we do My Lord?
Prince Eri Kiese
Don't worry, I will tell Wolf to work out with this!
They cross the hallway towards the stairs, and enter the King's Corridor........
Now they enter inside the Royal Chambers of the King.
King Şok Kiese, sitting on a chair, leaning to the left side.
Sitting beside him is Royal Commander Jissef Konoi.
Prince Eri Kiese
Good Evening My King, my sincere regards......
King Şok Kiese
Come here Eri........took you quite long to find me?
Prince Eri Kiese
Sorry father, I met Sir Rewon and he held me for while, it was a little urgent.
King Şok Kiese
Eri, son, I wanted to talk to you......
Prince Eri Kiese
Are you alright, father?
King Şok Kiese
I am fine, son, don't worry!
Come let's have some good tea in the Gardenway!
King Şok Kiese
Konoi, we are through with the discussions then.
Royal Commander Jissef Konoi
Yes, My King!
I will get everything done smoothly.
You do be assured.
Prince Eri Kiese
All well, Uncle Konoi?
Royal Commander Jissef Konoi
Yes, Your Highness!
Prince Eri Kiese
Are you keeping well?
Royal Commander Jissef Konoi
I am just fine-----
Commander Konoi coughed up a little.......
Royal Commander Jissef Konoi
I am just ok, Your Highness!
Eri went over to him and placed his hand on his shoulder........
Prince Eri Kiese
Go and have some rest, Uncle!
King Şok Kiese
He is right Konoi, you should rest for now, just get the job done on time!
Royal Commander Jissef Konoi
Yes My King!
Royal Commander Jissef Konoi
I will now take your leave My King,
Your Highness!
Konoi Bows down and leaves.
King Şok Kiese
Your Mother loved the orchids a lot........
I brought them all for her, and take care of them for her now, not sure if she resides in them anymore........
Prince Eri Kiese
You miss mother a lot, don't you father?
King Şok Kiese
It's way too difficult to live without her Eri,
I miss her each and every moment......
Prince Eri Kiese
I miss her too........
Silence for a while
And then Eri spoke,
Prince Eri Kiese
What is it that bother you so much father?
King Şok Kiese
My family bothers me, Eri.
In the whole family, only you are the one who can take care of all of us, don't you know this?
Prince Eri Kiese
What do you ask from me father?
King Şok Kiese
Please look after your brother and sister Eri,
I won't live too long now you know........
Prince Eri Kiese
PLEASE FATHER,
Please don't say this,
My mother left me,
Will you also do the same to me?
King Şok Kiese
I will always be with you, my son.......
But you and me, we both know it isn't it?!?
Prince Eri Kiese
Kuh-------(sob)!
King Şok Kiese
Eri.......
I need you
Promise me that you will take care of your siblings and your sister-in-law.......
Prince Eri Kiese
I will never disobey your order, father!
King Şok Kiese
This is a request, Eri!
Prince Eri Kiese
I promise you father,
No matter whatever happens, I will always protect my family!
That also means I will protect you as well!
King Şok Kiese
I love you son!
Prince Eri Kiese
I love you too father!
Prologue 3- The Outsiders
Prince Eri has just finished his meeting with the merchants......
Wolf enters and sat near the table!
Prince Eri Kiese
Phew-----
That's exhausting!
Prince Eri Kiese
Hey Wolf, I saw another dream last night.......
The Wolf
It's was your mom again?
Prince Eri Kiese
Yeah.......
She is always whispering in my ears about the Weavers.......
Prince Eri Kiese
My father's only helplessness that they couldn't afford to have another choice but to marry that whore!
The Wolf
She is indeed a whore.......
The Wolf
2 illegitimate children from 2 different men,
She has to be called a whore!
Prince Eri Kiese
She is now eying the throne Wolf,
She wants it for young Kyle......
The Wolf
In that case, what would you have me do?
Prince Eri Kiese
Nothing for now........
I'll handle it for sure!
But as days passed, Prince Eri seemed to lose more and more interest in ascending the throne.......
And 5 months after He and his father shared a cup of tea in the garden........
King Şok finally took his last breath in his chambers in front of all his family members and the Royal Council.
His infections and lung diseases were too powerful for him to fight against.........
A few weeks passed.......
Inside Prince Eri's private chambers,
The Wolf
Now what will we do next, Eri?
Prince Eri Kiese
I have no intentions of claiming the throne, Wolf!
It belongs to my brother, I cannot sit on it!
The Wolf
But Prince Ajad hasn't recovered completely yet......
How can he-----
Perhaps if The Lady sits on it........
Prince Eri Kiese
My sister will become the prime target.
No one wants a women on the throne!
I know she is capable but, there are very high chances of her getting killed........
The Wolf
What should we do then?
We have to think of something, the Council is breaking apart and your declaration is somehow becoming more and more necessary......
Prince Eri Kiese
I will declare my sister as the Queen Regent untill Ajad doesn't recover......
Prince Eri Kiese
We need to set out to strengthen the fronts of our empire!
The Wolf
So where are you planning to head to?
Prince Eri Kiese
Neruba will be the best location for me to keep a close watch on the Southwest, because the Northeast regions are marked exclusively by the Iron Horseraiders and The Black Assassins......
Northeast is said to be the land of the Black God!
The Wolf
Don't you think those are mere legends?
Prince Eri Kiese
Who knows so far......
The Reverberator
My lord, you should rest now!
The Wolf
Yeah, let's get to bed for now!
Prince Eri Kiese
Yeah......
