Chapter 4 The Law and the princess
"Sire! he is heading east and am very sure that he must be stopping at Seldom" Athena and Mark said to the king when they stepped into the palace.
King Jerome Akuza was sitting on his throne and immediately they made that statement he stood up from his throne and approached them.
As his two body guards who are standing besides him at the throne joined him also.
"You mean you guys allowed that little boy to escape!?" Jerome yelled at them with a deep voice as they bows for him.
"Am sorry sire but the kid is now able to control the dragon, we couldn't stop him" Athena said as Jerome stares at her looking so shocked.
"How possible?" Jerome asked as Mark breathes in heavily before saying his part.
"That's the same way we were shocked too and we must do something to find him or else things will get out of hand"
"Because the boy in question has already learned some magical words that is used to put the mega dragon in control" Mark said as the king hits his hand on the table angrily.
"And where is Tennyson!" He asked because Tennyson is yet to show up in their midst and he was supposed to be the first person to give this report because he is the one to own the mega dragon, so he is supposed to be desperate about it.
"Tennyson seems not to be bothered about it" Athena said as the king storms out of their presence angrily upon hearing that.
"You should wait for me here" King Jerome said before leaving the the hall of throne to search for Tennyson.
While Athena and Mark stares at themselves as they begin to glance around the hall while waiting for the king's return.
The throne was made with gold and the handles are moulded like a head of dragon.
There are two hefty dragon moulded besides the throne at it's sides, at the right and left edges of the hall.
Just in the door opened and the King returned to the hall with a few more guards with him.
"Seize him!" King Jerome orders the guards and they held Mark immediately making Athena and Mark to stare at the king surprisingly.
"My Lord..." Athena was about to say something when Tennyson walked into the hall and there was a kind of eyes he stared at Mark that made both Athena and Mark realize that it was all about the little issue Mark had with Tennyson.
King Jerome approached his throne and sat comfortably "How dare you raise your hand at my son!" Jerome's voice thundered while Tennyson folds his hands looking at them.
Athena first stared at Tennyson and waves her head because she never expected that from him as she thought that Tennyson have let that go as they all have been a great friends over the years.
After looking at him for a few seconds she looks up to the king "My King..." She tried to say with a low and pitiful voice but the king raised his hand which means that she is not permitted to speak.
"I hope you know the consequences?" The king refered to Mark as Mark kneels down trembling in fear.
"No, my king! I have been royal servant to you all this while, I promise it won't happen again" Mark said as Athena is already breathing heavily.
"Take him away and prepare for his execution and that will be happening this night" King Jerome orders as the guards began to drag Mark out of the hall.
"My King please! It won't happen again!" Mark pleads so hard but it fell on deaf ears as the king watches them take him to the prison where they locked him up in the cell.
And as soon as they left the hall Athena kneels down in front of the king with tears in her eyes.
"No! my King no! you can't do this to your loyal servant please! I beg of you" Athena pleads but Jerome waves his head.
"This is a warning to everyone that no one is bigger than the law, am sorry nothing can be done about it!" Jerome said to her as she faces the floor and cries bitterly.
She sadly stood up from the floor and began to walk away and just as she was about to pass the door.
"And...!" The king said and she turned and looks at him.
"Get the armies ready for you and Tennyson will be heading to Seldom tomorrow after Marks execution" Jerome orders as Athena bows her head and walks away with so much sadness in her heart.
And that is always how it is, everyone will keep supporting Jerome Akuza untill it is their turn to feel the pain and that's when they would realized how cruel Jerome could be.
Athena could be a witness now as her heart is heavy leaving the king's presence.
After she left Tennyson wanted to join her too but the king stopped him also.
"Tennyson while going to Seldom tomorrow you should be careful because Dragons are not allowed there" He said to Tennyson and Tennyson bows his head a little.
"Yes father" He said before leaving his father's present.

Mezie was still on his way riding to Seldom like a god with his dragon.
Though the dragon has slowed down in speed and now moving with a normal speed and that's mostly because so that Mezie wouldn't be choked by the forceful breeze during the speeding time, as he is still so young.
Although this mega dragon wasn't that big but it posses a lot of magic powers and other incredible feats far more than those ones bigger than him.
It has a flexible body which is allowing it to move at an incredible speed rate that is far more superior to the other dragons but it has the scariest face and has a long tail, two horns on his head.
He has a red eyes and four legs that is strong enough to tear a mountain apart...
"How long will it still take us to reach Seldom?" Mezie asked the dragon.
"It would take us 24 hrs extra to reach" The dragon responded with it's deep voices and then Mezie looks around.
And there was a lake which the dragon was currently flying over and he needs water as he is so tasty.
"We branch here" Mezie ordered and without questioning his order the mega dragon flew down immediately and he jumps down.
And just as soon as he jumps down the dragons flew away. "Hey come on! where are you going to!" Mezie screamed at the dragon.
"You call me whenever you need me! mega master" Mega Dragon said to Mezie as he watches the dragon fly till it's off his sight.
"Oh yeah! you never liked to stay one place just leaping from one place to another! hell!" Mezie said as he rushes down the stream.
When he get to to the steam he removed his shoes and ran into the lake and opened his bag and brought out water container.
He filled it up and drank from it and after drinking he refilled it and covers the container with it's cover and put it inside his bag then decided to pour some water on his face.
So he deep his hands into the lake and pour some water on his face "Oh wow, that's just so cold" he said with a fluffy voice.
And finally he decide to put his head under the waterfall so he reached out and as soon as he was putting his head down there, the water splashes on his head.
A vision of good and sad memory flashed on his face.
"And mainly last, Mezie please don't rest untill you reach Seldom, there may be so many distractions but please don't stop untill you reach Seldom okay?" The voice sounded on his ear and he quickly pulled his head out of the waterfall.
And that vision was the last warning his mum gave him, never to rest not until he get to Seldom.
Mezie was breathing heavily and he began to hear a sound of sword battle from his right hand side.
"Who the hell is that?" he said with a low voice as he stares at that direction which the sound was coming from.
He ran towards that direction, when he get there he hid at the corner watching what was going on.
"No! please let me go!" the lady was screaming after some men who was attempting to kidnap her.
The lady dressed up like a princess and it appears that her guards has already being killed.
So as the men was approaching the lady she kept on moving backwards trembling in fear as one of the opponent men grabbed her from the back.
"No let me go! don't dare lay Your hands on me because you will regret it!" The lady kept screaming as the other man in her front drew out his sword and was about to stab her.
"Let her go!" Mezie's voice stopped them and the soldiers looks at him and his funny appearance, they first of all glanced at Mezie from his head down to his toes.
And they looks at each other and chuckles, it is of course funny because even the sword which Mezie tied on his waist is enough to make someone laugh because it's far bigger than him and was touching the ground from his waist.
"You little rabbit! what the hell are you doing in this forest huh! or you want us to cook soup with your meet!" One of those men refered to Mezie and approached and slaps him gently on his cheeks.
"Let's go, it's s just a kid that has lost his way" the man said as he turned to walk away and Mezie grabbed him on his hand.
"I said let her go!" Mezie said and it was more like the man was provoked and he wanted to punch him on his face but Mezie dodged the punch and drew out his sword.
Making them to stare at him in amazement and still thinking that it's funny. "Wow kid! is that all you got! oh come on" the man said as he threw away his word as he believe that he can just raise Mezie with one finger.
Mezie dashed at him and attempted to slice off his head but he dodges it with his eyes widened because he never expected so attack from a kid.
Though Mezie is always faster so after the man dodged his first attack before he could recognize what was going on again.
His right hand has already been amputated "What!!! what!!!" the man started screaming in pain pressure making all others to runaway out of fear and him as well joined them in the race.
And slowly Mezie steps close to the beautiful young lady as she stood up from the ground.
"Thank you" she said to him as she still looks like she's afraid of him as well.
"You're alright?" Mezie asked as she nods and then Mezie turned and began walking away.
"Wait please! I'm the princess of Queens Town, princess Mera, if you can take me back to my home I will reward you handsomely" She said to Mezie who turned and looks at her for a few seconds.
"I wish I could" He said as he continues walking away.
"Okay can you just help and take me home?" she requested but Mezie keep walking away without uttering any additional words to her and she ran after him.
"Why are you looking for someone that will take you home? weren't you the one that brought yourself to this place? at first?" Mezie asked her when she approached him.
"No! my guards has been killed and the day is getting darker now! it would take up to a day for me to get home and this place is very dangerous! please!" she said as Mezie keeps walking away, her words keep falling on deaf ears.
"Then what's the point of helping me in the first place, if you leave me here those men are still going to return and get me killed" She said as Mezie stopped but still turning his back on her.
"So what do you want me to do for you?" he asked as he turns to look at her.
"Even if you are not going to take me home, just stay with me here at least till day break so maybe I can make my way home on my own" She requested as Mezie breathes in heavily and his mother's last warning reflected on his ear again but he still chose to ignore it.
"Alright! I will stay" Mezie agreed.Download Novelah App
