Getting back to His courtyard, Edward saw Sebastian standing by the door of his room

They immediately entered the room " young master I hope noting is wrong" questioned Sebastian "No, rather all is great it seems we have gravely misunderstood fathers intention" replied Edward. He then went on and told Sebastian what happened in the kings courtyard. " That's great young master it seems the king has been has been keeping eye on you, it seems he still hold Milady in his heart" Edward who was sitting on a chair looked through the window and saw it almost evening he turned to Sebastian and said " Go rest for night we'll go to the camp and select the knights tomorrow. We have a lot of preparation to do and time is not on our side" Sebastian bowed and looked at the third Prince with a smile and said " good night young Master "

After Sebastian left Edward walked towards the window gazing at the sky thinking " I wonder what this life has in store for me I hope is not to boring" .

The next morning

Edward woke up early and got prepared for today's activities, while he was having his breakfast Sebastian came in " young master the knights has been informed of your arrival to the camp ". " thank you Sebastian" replied Edward, after he cleaned up and got dressed wearing a simple white robe looking at himself he said " damn I missed cloths from earth when I everything settles down am going to start designing them " after that thought he left his room he moved through the palace admiring the grandeur and beauty of it but was interrupted when he bumbed into someone, someone he dearly will not like to see. Lifting his head he saw his brother the second prince henry looking at him with a smilling but twisted expression " It seems you've grown some gut little brat you don't bow your head when within my presence" hearing thus Edward held a stupidfied expression and then looked around and said " Are you talking to me ? If you are then I think you got the wrong person " listening to this the second prince no longer held a smiling expression his face was like a tiger who was looking at his prey, he walked toward Edward facing him he then suddenly moved his body and punched Edward in the gut " ahhhhh" in a pained expression Edward cried he gritted His teeth it looked as if it was on the verge of shattering . the second prince suddenly came close to his ear and said "you better withdraw from this competition or else I will come for you no matter where you hide " then stood up and walked away with a joyful expression like nothing happened. Edward finally stood up dressing himself up then looked towards the direction of the second prince and said in a hush tone " I will pay back what you did today in tenfold tch*" adjusting his face he took a deep breath and walked towards where the carriages are kept .Then a coachman came to him and said " where to your Highness ?" Edward enters the carriage and said " to the knights camp"

While the carriage was moving towards the camp Edward was grumbling " with this type of level of transportation my the bone in my ass will crack in few years"sighed* after passing different parts of the capital they finally arrived at the camp the coach man said " your Highness we've arrived " he then got down and opened the door for the third prince while bowing his head . Edward came down from the carriage grumbling " you guys need to fix your carriages to be comfortable ", the coachman thinking he did a grave sin he fell to his knees and begged " your Highness please I did not know you were uncomfortable please spare this servant " Edward looked at the servant weird expression noticing the stares from the knights and passersby he helped the man up and said " no need to worry am just saying, am not blaming it on you, you can wait for me to finish my business and you will ride me back " in an awkward tone. hearing this the coachman breathed a sigh of relief then bowed and say " thank you for your mercy your Highness " Edward quickly left there, On his way he heard someone called his name he then turned around and saw something round runing and calling him, he instantly recognized him, his best friend.
