I was in the library studying when my cousin came to me with a happy expression on his face, he stood before me grinning. I just raised my brow " haven't you heard the news"? What news am I suppose to know I said ? The king spoke to our tutor, that we would no more be home schooled, which means that he has decided to let us attend school, Marcellus told me excitedly. He even said we are resuming school tomorrow. Really now, I said that without any expression on my face. "I see you're surprised, I mean even I didn't expect such a news", Marcellus said . During dinner I'll ask him, just to be sure of what you said. I went back to reading about history and other stuffs . After I was done reading I went to the garden to take a walk, every time I passed a maid, they were always blushing and whispering among themselves, but I just carry on like I didn't notice. I arrived at the garden and inhaled the fresh air, this place always gives a serene vibe. I remember when I was a little bit younger father was against the idea of me going to high school, he insisted on me being home schooled, since then I lost contact of the outside world, I only go out when we have ceremonies to attend or I show up on Tv.Only Marcellus has been by my side all these years, he's not just my cousin but also my best friend . Because I don't go out, one might think I don't know what's going on in the outside world, but they're wrong cause I know a lot of stuffs. Here in the palace, we have a basketball court and a quite an amazing player. The king let's the guards have game time once a week, so we compete against each other. You might think father was been too strict with his decision to make me being home schooled, an incident happened when I was in 7th grade I was kidnapped for three whole days. Only the gods know how they were able to carry out their vicious plan, the whole country was in turmoil. I somehow managed to escape and was rescued by an old woman then I was taken to the palace, I vowed to never be weak in my life again. Since then my father restricted me from going outside the palace and I was home schooled, but now he seems to have changed his mind I wonder what made him change his mind. After strolling a bit I decided to head back to my room I crossed path with the royal advisor,Dante Lachlan.
A good evening to you my prince. Good evening I said, I see you're coming from the garden he said . I nodded. Your highness if I may ask have you had a girl who can stand by your side at your coming of age ceremony. No I haven't, I told him. Hmm I see, am sure you'll see her soon, it only a matter of time before she comes. True I said nodding, have a wonderful evening Dante. You too your highness. With that we parted ways, I went to my room , went into the bathroom and stayed for awhile under the shower before I decided to leave. I was feeling sleepy so I took a quick nap, by the time I woke up it time for dinner. When I got to the dinning room, only Marcellus was present, my parents were yet to be seated. They must have been preoccupied with work . Few minutes later, mom came in, good evening mother, I and Marcellus said at the same time. My lovely darlings, how was your day, she asked us ? Mine went well , Marcellus told her, same here by. Before she could gives us a reply, dad came in. I see the table's all set, a lovely evening to you all. Good evening your highness, I and Marcellus said at once. Good evening sweetheart, my mother told him . After we had finished our dinner. I told my father that I would like to see him. We went to the garden to take a walk, am sure you want to ask me if truly you'll and Marcellus would be starting school tomorrow he said I nodded . So he went on to say I think it's about time you see more of the outside world and not just appearing on tv and all that. I want you to find a real connection with the outside world, and who knows you may find a girl you like, he winked at me. You right father, I should get to know more about the citizens. We discussed about some other stuffs and called it a night. I retire to my room only to find Marcel on my bed holding a magazine. The moment he saw me, he gave a broad smile and said aren't you excited, we're finally going to school. You make it sound like we have nothing upstairs,and like it's the first time we are going to school. Uh duh it's the first time we are going to school in years, so of course am excited. Think of pretty girls, hang out with the other guys at school. We are going to be the center of attention, we could invite them to our own party. I shook my head, not interested bro. Awwnn com'nman don't be such a spoilsport it gonna be fun. I paused and pretended like I was thinking about it hmmm, no. Not cool bro, so not cool. Yeah whatever, am going to bed. Marcellus Griffin, my cousin, best friend and a brother to me. He's an important part of my life. My father's younger brother is the father of Marcellus and that makes him a prince . He's been by my side as long as I can remember. After my kidnap he swore to be by my side always, and since that day we've been together. With that thought in my mind I fell asleep, for no one knows what the future holds.
