《Tale of Pathetic Prince》1.04-The Banquet
Advertisement
In a large hall, there was a banquet going on.
By the gloomy atmosphere in the hall. It was obvious that it was staged to not celebrate something but to discuss an important matter. No one can find even a single child in this place except a girl standing in a cornor.
Everyone was talking in a hushed tone as the main host of the banquet had not arrived yet.
There were also 2 young men who were silently drinking wine without talking, they didn't socialize with anyone like the girl. just waiting there.
The hall was filled with major nobles, all the politicians in the alliance and the royal bloodline.
After what seemed to be eternity passed.
"Your honorary King Henrich Ageras Lionel The 65th, The First queen Elizabeth Ageras Lionel and the 2nd queen Angelina Ageras Lionel of Tharius Alliance has entered the banquet."
After hearing the introduction, everyone in the hall stopped talking and started to look towards the hall entrance.
From there a bulky man came with a hair knot on his head, he had a proud aura around him wearing a gold robe.
From behind him came a woman, she had was not in her prime. Even though she looked old, she had a gracefulness about her that can mesmorize anyone in the hall. Even when she walk behind the King, she maintained her etiquettes. She wore a red gown and slowly walked behind the king.
In the last came a young woman with breathtaking beauty, She was wearing a silver gown with braided hair. Her gown was designed with golden flowers which may generally produce a holy aura around her. But when people looked at her, they couldn't help but gulp.
Even though she smiled while walking with her small daughter by her side, but people can tell, It is not a good idea to annoy the dragon. As even though she looked like a a weak and tender woman but she used to be S class magic swordsman.
"Please continue to do what you were doing..... the discussions will be done after the banquet in the Guild hall."
Everyone in the hall nodded and went back to their discussions there were some that went toward the king and gave their condolence about his some to him.
Even though the King hated rememberring the demise of his son. But he needs to look strong in this banquet and maintain his dignity as a support pillar of this country.
"We are sorry to hear that your son had accident......"
"I will do everything in my power to find the culprits of this incident...."

Similar talk was going on with the first queen too. But as for the whose son was killed, no one came to meet her. She with her daughter by her side keep drinking some wine. No one had the courage to greet her.
Then the only little girl in the banquet went towards the 2nd queen Angelica and greeted.
"Maisie Bradfort greets mother!" while doing a noble bow while holding her skirt greeted the young girl.
Instead of getting angry, there came a smile on woman's face. she looked towards the girl and said.
"Don't call me mother anymore... there will be no marriage anymore my child!! so just queen is alright."
The little girl was actually going to be the queens daughter-in-law, but due to accident she became a widow even before marrying Leo.
"I respected mother from the time I was young, I heard your stories and tried to become just like you... And then I get chance to become your relative... I was happy so please don't take it away from me."
There was warmth in the womans eyes.... Even thought she herself was a swordswoman and the girl an archer, she still taught magic to this girl.
The dedication Mai showed in her training won Angelica's heart and she asked Mai to marry her son.
But after the incident, the future she foresaw for her son is destroyed. And now she may never able to see her son ever again.
"Sista Mai!! don't woly brother will come bak"
The little girl being only 6yr old couldn't speak clearly. She had a pony in her back and her eyes looked red by all the crying but was putting a brave front in the face of Maisei.
"Yeah!! I know, He's one of the smartest person I have ever seen... nothing can happen to him."
Hearing this, the little girl nodded her head strongly.
"Yeah!! broter will nevel loose to some bad people!!"
Maisie after seeing the antics of the little girl in front of her had a smile on her face.
She continued her talks with the mother and daughter duo while thinking about her fat friend.
****************************************************************
"Geezer!! I can't do this.... my hands are numb and my legs hurt like hell!!... It didn't even hurt this bad when I was running away from those bandits."
"Just keep doing the routine 100 times more. Or no food for you for the next 3 days."
Hearing that he was not going to get his mushroom soup for three day. Leo started doing his daily training.
His upper body was naked, even though there were no muscles at present but outlinig was starting to show.He looked gritty with mucus all over his body with dirty short hair. He held a sword in his had, which he got from the bandits. with sweat flowing like river from his body.

From the morning all he had done is Stab+Slash+Jump Slash+Cleave+ Side step+rolling over..... he continued this rigime from 2 days even though he rested.. but the old man like a demon would hit him in the head.
In the beginning he oly tapped the head lightly, but after 1 month, the impact of the tap has only increased.
"Listen after this is all over go and drink some of the soup it will probably take away your fatigue!"
About soup taking away the fatigue... it was true, whenever he felt tired, after drinking the soup, his appetite and tiredness goes away.
"Kyun!!.......Kyun!!.....Kyun!!....................." by his side the cute little fox acted like he counted the amountof times Leo was doing his training. It was a very clever little fox.
After completing his training, Leo wore his shirt and went inside the tree house(It's really is a house in a tree). Inside he made some soup for himself and the little guy and sat down on the ground to drink it.
When not in training, the little fox always tuck itself in Leo's shirt but due to all the dirt on his body, foxy stayed away from him.
They both darnk the soup and fell on the ground to rest.
"Fatty you smell a lot.... didn't your mother teach you about sanitation?"
After entering the room old man Daikran asked Leo.
"Usually my mother always bathed me when I was small... but after I grew up the servants in the mansion did it for me.!! I have never showered by myself ever."
"So back home youu were a useless blob of meat?"
"Geezer!! I had many things on my shoulders... Bathing was only my sanctuary!! and you had already warned me to not defile the only drinking source of here.... where will I bath."
"So you haven't learned the cleaning magic from your parents too?"
"It is mostly used by those dirty adventurers... my mother used to be one but she never taught me anything like that...!! incidently I don't know any magic, from the day I was born I only studied history, economics, politics, mathematics and every literal subject there is. they were training me to do something I didn't wanted to do.... But my mom is scary... even my dad can't rebuke her."
Daikran's expression can't believe a woman like that can exist. he was very happy that he never had a mother like that.
"You are just a mama's boy... she had spoiled you!! come here!!.."
Calling out to Leo, Daikran put his hand on Leo's head.
"***************** Dirt cleansing"
A white light came from Daikran's hand and started to melt away all the dirt on Leo's body!...
"Clean the floor... and from tomorrow I am going to teach you incantations!!.. physical building your body is not enough, you need to learn some attack spells too."
There was no trace of life in the eyes of the young prince, there was only one word in his mind.
'Fuck'
*Thud* The old man hit Leo in the head so hard that his face got stuck in the floor.
"Language!!"
"Ye..s f....ir!!" *Talking while head stuck in floor.
Nothing happened to Leo on that day again because he lost conciousness when Daikran hit him on the head.
His 'Yes sir!!' was only a reflex cultivated by the regular hit on the head.
The old man silently took him up and put Leo on his bed.
The little fox looked at all this silently, when little foxy saw that Leo was asleep on the bed. it crawled up and slept on Leo's stomach.
Daikran, staring at Leo for a while opened the gate and went to his garden.
Leowald had already seen the garden, and asked how was this possible but Daikran never replyed him... he just silently stared toward the garden, so after not getting his answer, Leo never asked this question again.
"See how fast this kid is growing... in one month all that accumulated fat dissappeared, he may be able to complete our wish."
While stroking a small plant murmmerd old man Daikran.
*********************************************************
In another part of the world.
"My Lord!! all is going according to the plan.... soon we will accomplish our first task without any delay, we have already created a commotion in the kingdom."
"We have already removed the main obstacle... as the oracle foretold!!"
In a tavern, 2 people were talking to each other. They both wore dark robes and talked in hushed tone.
"Were there any witnesses?"
"Both of them had been taken care of and our men who went after him seemed to have died in the Undead forest... so there is no one that can trace it back to us."
This is how it all began.... the revolution of Tharius Alliance without the fat prince to see what was going to happen.
