The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 21 Royal Warrior Camp.
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
“So, this place will be crowded?” I asked them.
Amanda and Zandea looked at me.
“Not really because the persons who will only come is the alpha and beta of each pack.” Amanda answered.
“Oh, how many packs was under his pack?” I asked again. I wanted to know.
Zandea started to count using her f*ingers.
“I think, there are twenty-one? I’m not sure.” Zandea answered unsurely.
“Twenty-three actually, Zandy.” Amanda corrected her.
“Oh, she’s right it’s twenty-three.” I nodded my head. So, there are many packs under his pack. That’s cool but surely tiring. It’s a big responsibility to rule the whole werewolf world.
“But, if the king invited someone, they can come.” She continued. I nodded my head once again and looked around.
It’s really pretty over here.
“Shall we stay here or we will go to our next destination?” I head Zandea asked us.
“We should go in our next destination, I think we will come back here some other time.” I answered.
“She’s right. Maybe we can show her around first?” Amanda agreed.
“Alright then, let’s go!” Zandea energetically exclaimed.
We started to walk again, away from the Eden.
After a few minutes, we reached a certain place. What is this place? Training ground? I saw many men in the area, is this the warriors of the kingdom?
“This place was the Royal Warrior Camp.” Zandea informed me. I nodded my head and looked around again to observed the surroundings.
This place really gotten my attention, if there a place that I wanted to go frequently, this would definitely the place.
“Look at there,” I looked on the spot that she pointed. I saw a group of young boys and a man probably at the age of twenty-three to thirty?
It’s really h*ard to tell someone’s age, werewolves are known to have young faces.
“At young age, they are obligated to undergo in a training. Every selected mens in this kingdom will become a warrior.” She said so I looked at her. Obligated? Does she mean, even they didn’t want to join they will be forced? That’s not right.
“Don’t look at me like that haha, what I mean is it’s for the security of every pack. You see, take a look on them. Those young boys looked like at the age of twelve. Every month, the king was selecting ten boys in every packs. It’s a great pleasure to their family because the king saw potentials to those kids to become a warrior.” Alright then, fair enough.
“That is a great way to widened the power and security of the kingdom.” Amanda said too so I looked at her.
“isn’t too young? I mean, they didn’t have the chance on study on school, play with each other? They were given a responsibility at their young age.”
“They will study but not school, and play which each other but it will have limitation. That’s the consequence of being a chosen soon to be a warrior.” Amanda answered my question.
“How about their family?” I asked once again.
“About their family, they can visit their child thrice a month. The training will took almost five years to become a real warrior.” Zandea replied.
So, meaning to say… they will dedicate their life in protecting this kingdom? Sound’s so heroic and cool. I admired those young men. They chose to serve the kingdom than to chase their won dream.
Well, I don’t know either if their dream is to become a warrior but who knows? Maybe not, they were just trapped into something else they didn’t even want.
“let go and watch them have a duel.” Zandea invited us. Amanda and I nodded our heads. We go near at the training ground.
Zandea was right, they were having a duel. One versus one, it’s a physical combat,
But, they all stopped when they saw us approaching.
They all greeted us.
“Please don’t mind us, we just wanted to watch.” Zandea told to them gently.
They all nodded and stand straight.
“Continue.” Their instructor ordered the two person who is having a battle.
“Sir yes sir.” They replied and resumed fighting.
“Please have a seat.” The instructor gently told to us. We sat and watch the battle.
I can say there are good but it’s quite obvious that they were tensed. Is it because of our presence?
I stand up from my seat and walked towards the battle ground. None of them dared to talk but I can see confusion in their eyes.
“Don’t stop fighting.” I immediately said when I saw them about to stop.
“Don’t mind us, just focus on the fight. Remember, rule number one, avoid distraction.” I smiled when I saw them fighting with all they can do. That’s great.
“Secondly, don’t think about winning… just focus on the fight and if necessary avoid getting injuries.” I said while watching them.
I saw the black hair man punches so h*ard the face of the blond boy. Oh, that feels hurts. The blond man hit the black hair on his abdomen too. They were becoming aggressive.
When I saw them comfortable again, I walked back in my chair and sat down.
“How did you calm the both of them?” Zandea asked me. I shrugged my shoulder.
“I just gave them a simple reminder about fighting.” I answered while still looking at the two men.
“That’s awesome. How did you know about those things?” she asked me again.
“You forgot Zandy, she’s good in mart—” Amanda didn’t have the chance to continue what she will going to say because Zandea talked again.
“Yeah, I forgot about that. So dumb of me.”
“You didn’t let me finish my sentence.” Amanda complained but Zandea just grinned at her.
“Mommy, why are they fighting?” we all looked at Matthew when he said that. Oh uh, we forgot about him too. We bring a toddler here.
“They aren’t hurting each other intentionally honey. They were just having a duel to enhance their physical strengths.” Amanda explained to his son.
“Enhancing their physical strength? Can I join them too? I wanted to be strong!” the three of us looked into each other. Matthew wanted to train?
He’s so young.
“Later honey, when you grow. Your daddy will train you.”
“Really mommy?” Amanda nodded her head.
“Yes honey.”
“Yey, I’ll train and be strong soon.” He said cheerfully and happily.
Matthew is indeed a bubbly child. I returned my gaze on the battle field, their duel was over. The black-haired young boy is the one who won.
“That’s a good fight.” I commented. The two fighters looked at me and smiled while wiping the blood at the corner of their lips.
“Thank you, Queen.” They replied in chorus. I nodded my head.
“since the fight was over, let’s go now?” Zandea asked us.
“To where?”
“Back to the palace, your mate was looking for you.” I guess he mind linked her.
“Alright.” I answered.
“He said, we need to prepare for tomorrow’s trip.” She informed me.
“I wish I can come with you guys, but I need to stay. I have a son and my mate will look after the kingdom while the king was gone.” That’s so sad but I understand her, she had a responsibility as a wife of the Royal beta.
“Alright then, let’s go back now.”
