《RISE OF KING ARTHUR》Chapter 11 - TROUBLE WITH GUARDS
Advertisement
We came to our estate together. The city Lord mansion is the most beautiful and lavish estate in the entire city. It's made that way to showcase the city Lord's power and authority.
When we returned it was almost noon. But the city Lord's house is still lively. So,Guards were patrolling the whole estate around the clock. They checked each and every person entering the mansion. They were all very talented and well trained.
So we ran into some guards entering the house. I wasn't happy meeting them here. It isn't that I hate all the guards,it's just this particular group of guards that makes me avoid them.They were my elder brother's lackey. As the first son of my father,he is going to inherit my father's title. So,many people try to curry favour with him.
This group of guards were bootlicker of my brother. They don't let any chance to curry favour with my brother slip by. The funny thing is my stupid and arrogant brother actually favours this trashes.
But I can't help feeling pity for my brother because i know why my brother is annoyed with me. The reason is my second sister.
My second sister is quite the character too. She is a strongwilled women. She has both power and personality. Most people like her for her charismatic personality. But that is a problem for my brother.
Because my sister is an ambitious person. She doesn't want anyone to decide her fate for her. Most of the noblewomen of this world are raised to be ideal wife for their partner.
But my sister doesn't want to become someone else's trophy wife. So,she is quite rebellious and her desire to succeed my father title also makes her my brother no. 1 enemy. But my brother can't cope with my sister.

All his scheme and conspiracy ends up in failure. But my sister is also helpless that she can't deal with my brother directly. She needs a good reason to remove him from his Position as heir apparent
But,the good news is this world has many examples of women who managed to gain important roles In administration and military as well as in ruling empire or small state. So,once my big brother is out of the way my sister can finally step up and take the position.
So,the family members of my family are not living in harmony. But now I am going to use that in my favour.
Anyway,now that I can't avoid these pesky guards I have to deal with them. I want to end this peacefully but if they force me I might snap. I am not the same old me as before.
"Ora..look who's here. Third young master Arthur has blessed us with his presence."
"Hahaha..",laughed everyone mockingly.
I was going to say something but before I could say anything someone else replied in my place.
"Oy you guys..can't you show some respect towards to young master Arthur. You know he is a noble and you work for his family. How dare you talk to him like this!"
The guards group leader was a guy named Reeves. He was surprised when a voice questioned him. When he saw my cute Lena,his eyes glowed perversely.
I was so angered seeing the look in his eyes that I decided that I must teach this guy lesson.
"Oh,who's this chick? How did you get in here?"
Arthur replied for Lena,"she's with me.i brought her here.any problem,soldier?"
Reeves squinted his eyes and replied sarcastically," Nothing..but we have a duty to check every person who comes from outside. Security purpose,nothing serious"

"Oh,is that so.but that's for people outside. Lena is no outsider. I have decided to recruit Lena as my retainer. So you don't have to worry about security reason."
"Oh,third master Arthur has recruited a personal servant. May I know what's her qualifications?"
Hmm,I was surprised. Even after I said that Lena is my aide,he is not letting us go. What's he playing at!?
"Lena is a talented magician."
"Oh,a talented magician. May I ask miss Lena to demonstrate her skill In the arena for us to witness? My humble self will accompany you"
This bastard...So that is his plan. He wants to humiliate Lena In front of everyone.If Lena looses my name as her master will also be tarnished. My rage was at an all time high. I couldn't wait to rip this guys throat out.
"Reeves,you don't need to test Lena. She still needs to learn many things."
"How can that be possible? Young master Arthur,your safety is of utmost importance. If something happens to your delicate self,we will be very sad."
I was so angry. This bastard is insinuating that I am a frail little ant who he can toy with anytime. Never I felt so humiliated in my life.
"Are you saying that I am so weak that I can't protect myself?"
"No,it's just you have never learned how to fight. So,if something happened to you it'll be great loss for house Sherwood."
"Oh,is that so.then tell me who said that I can't fight?"
"Well,No one.but we never saw you practise. You have always been a mysterious person.",the last part was said in a mocking tone. As if he was trying to point out that I always hid myself in my house.
"Is that the impression I gave you.well,pardon me then. I must give a fresh start in everyone's memory. So why don't you and I fight to see if I can really protect myself or not."
