《Dark Chronicles》CH 43 High Betting
Advertisement
Last night was more interesting than I thought it would be. I found out where I had heard the name Jacob Darkwood before he is the high crown prince that means he is the next ruler of all human kingdoms on this continent when his father dies.That means he is the second most powerful person in the human population second only to the actual high king.And I have had dealings with him,yep definitely going to avoid him in the future.
"*Squawk*"
It seems that Netherwing is up.
"Ugggh my head is killing me"
And so is Luke.
"Yeah, that's called a hangover.Dumbass"
InSide a hidden room somewhere in the high kings palace.The five kings and the high king seat around a golden circle shaped table.
"Welcome kings of [KranKaz] I the high king have summoned you all here because it is time for our annual betting in the [Grand combat tournament].So which king would like to place the first bet"
"I would"
"Ok the second king wishes to place the first bet any arguments"
None of the other kings said a word.
"Alright go ahead, second king"
"I place one hundred diamond coins on the boy with the dragon's legacy"
"You can't do that it's against the rules.You can only bet on fighters from your own kingdom"
"There is no such rule.I can bet on any fighter from any kingdom, can't I High king?"
"He is right fifth king as long as the person he places a bet on is in the [Grand combat tournament] he is not breaking any rule"
"Fine then I bet one hundred diamond coins on the daughter of the [Silver sword] clan Sylvia"
"Hahaha you actually bet on her I can't believe that you think she can win. I agree her lighting is strong,but against the other competitors she isn't much"

"Wait I believe I heard that the [Crimson sun] clan already has a bet going with the [Silver sword] clan"
"So what it has nothing to do with our bet so we can just ignore it"
"Fine then the fifth king and second king have placed their bets.Who's next"
"I'll place my bet of one hundred diamond coins on the boy from the [Soul spears mountain] school"
"Then I will place my one hundred diamond coins on the girl from the [Cresent moon] martial arts school"
"They actually sent someone this year usually they protest about the tournament all together"
"Yes usually but this year they have a new principal, and the rumors I've heard of this person make them sound terrifying so we should keep an eye on them from now on"
"Thank you for the advice third king"
"I live to serve the high king"
"Now that only leaves you, first king"
"I choose to bet one hundred diamond coins on the boy from the [Croutching claw] clan, Xander"
"Now then that's all the kings what about you high king who will you bet on winning the [Grand combat tournament]
"I will place my bet of one hundred diamond coins on the girl who uses the puppets"
"You mean the girl who has killed all of her opponents with her puppets"
"Yes, I believe she has the best chance.Now we have all placed our bets I hereby make all bets fina-"
"WAIT"
Out of the shadows walked Jacob Darkwood also known as the High crown prince.
"What is it child that you would interrupt us"
As the words left the second king's mouth a deadly aura swept across the room that almost suffocated the second king, the origin was high king.
"Sorry, son the second king misspoke I hope you can forgive him"

"Do not give it any more thought father, I know the second king he is a loud mouth who waggles his filthy tongue without thinking."
The entire time Jacob believed the verbal daggers he kept a large smile and an almost completely pleasant aura.
"Why are you hear high prince?"
"I am here to place my own bet on the [Grand combat tournament]"
"I'm sorry but that is impossible only kings can place their bets here.Isn't that right high king?"
"Yes it is I'm sorry son but don't worry when you become high king you can enter the bets"
"Thanks, father but I believe I can enter the betting if a place down the seven demons heads blossom as my bet."
"That's impossible that is a treasure of high king you can't just bet that away"
"Oh yes I can because my father the high king gave it to me as a birthday present"
"What, high king you just gave him a treasure that hundreds would literally kill for,why"
"I like to spoil my kids"
"Well then since you now own the seven demons heads blossom you can put it down ,but who will you be placing this bet on"
"Kaito"
"Kaito.I've never even heard of him"
"I have he comes from the first kings kingdom he is enrolled in the [Celestia] school, is called the Dark horse there because he is a first-year student,he comes from no powerfull family but somehow has beaten every single competitor that he has fought even killed his last opponent and exposed a cheater"
"Thank you, third king.So what do you think father can I enter him into the bet"
"Do you really think he will win son"
"Without a single doubt"
"Fine then I will now finalize the bets
The First king bets one hundred diamond coins on Xander from the [Crouching Claw] clan tournament.The second king bets one hundred diamond coins on the boy with the dragon legacy tournament will win the tournament. The Third king bets one hundred diamond coins on the student from the [Soul Spear Mountain] school will win the tournament. The Fourth king bets one hundred diamond coins on the student from the [Cresent moon] school will win the tournament. The Fifth king bets one hundred diamond coins on Sylvia from the [Silver Sword] clan will win the tournament. I the High king bet one hundred diamond coins on the girl who wields the puppets will win the tournament.And lastly, the High crown price bets the seven demons heads blossom that Kaito will the tournament.These are all the bet's unless there are any changes or arguments all bets are now finalized and can not be changed."
Everyone was silent to show their concent for the bets.
"Now I will see all of you at the tournament"
All the kings stood up and crossed their arm across their chest's then bowed to the high king.Then they were teleported out.After the kings had left Jacob began to leave back into the shadows.
"Wait son"
"Yes father"
"What are you planning on making that bet"
"Nothing mutch father.Only the most exciting [Grand combat tournament] ever"
"Well, then I look forward to seeing that.But you know that now you have entered this Kaito he has become a target for the other kings to eliminate"
"I know father but trust me they will not kill Kaito they will only make him stronger"
And with that, Jacob disappeared into the darkness thus ending the secret meeting.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road.
