Chapter 79 Brothers



"We\'re an hour off from daybreak." Horus\' voice echoed out, as he and Abraham entered the room, having been dutifully guarding it this whole time.

Nodding to his words, I turn around to look outside the window where the silverish moonlight was shyly filtering in, illuminating the makeshift office within it\'s tender embrace as I take this moment of rare peace to calm my restless mind and enjoy the simple pleasure of blissful silence for a few, brief minutes.

"Is everything done?" I ask after having my fill of this momentary of tranquility.

"Yes, sire. Your orders are galloping at full haste down the shortest routes as we speak, and Isaac has already departed hours ago to the capital, wanting to oversee the mission personally. He also mentioned that he would be back no more than a week from now." Abraham reported.

"And my uncle?" I asked again, but this time with a hint of caution lacing my words.

A forced and unnatural smile formed across Horus\' lips, as he answered with a certain unease in his voice "The Archduke was enraged beyond any form of reason as soon as he heard of what happened, swearing by the name of all the Gods that he would tie the bodies of those responsible to the bows of his ships before sailing them across the seas for their offence."

I nod in acknowledgement to his words, before inquiring, feeling as though there was more that was left unsaid "Is that all?"

Chuckling, Abraham replied "His lordship also mentioned just before departing on his horse, that if anything were to happen to any of you during this time he will personally make sure to strip my shoulders from my incompetent head."

Stunned by what I had just heard, I sigh in exasperation before saying "Seems my uncle was truly blinded by his wrath. So much so that he insulted you Abraham."

"Please think nothing of it, sire. As I am well aware that his lordship only said what he did in a moment of passionate rage and care for his family. Besides, should I ever fail to so spectacularly blunder my singular duty in this life, I would have it no other way." Abraham assured me, as his compassionate understanding, complete devotion and unflinching loyalty all coalesced in his resolute tone.

Finding no words to return to him, I simply nod with a gentle smile, before continuing on with official duties.

"Good work." I finally praise after I finished being debriefed about all that had happened since the afternoon.

I then stand up, stretching my tired limbs as I do so, before beginning to make my way down the silent hallways of the exorbitant palace of Wahagen, until I reach my room, where the ever lazy Bellerophon was comfortably laying on my bed, happily asleep before I arrived and woke him.

Yawning cutely as he stretched his still sleeping muscles and unfurling his growing wings, the no longer so small creature jumped off the mattress and began rubbing the side of his head on my leg, in an adorable act of demanding attention.

A request I happily obliged, as I joyfully began playing with him, knowing that I had been slightly neglectful of him for the past few weeks. Yet after a few minutes of playful wrestling, Bellerophon struggled out of my hold and rushed out the door, obviously heading to the vast open garden of the palace, his newest favorite playground.

I quickly chased after him, knowing the lively chimera was still far from being sated and merely desired to change locations for a more advantageous battle ground, where in which he could better utilize his aerial abilities.

Yet as I was rushing down the same corridor I had just come from, I caught a glimpse of the receding backs of my two brothers walking sluggishly in the direction of their rooms, with their clothes soaked with sweat, their faces smeared with dirt and their hair disheveled in every which way, seeming as though they just returned from an arduous adventure in the woods.

So I called in confusion "Cyrus? Nizam? What are you doing up at such an hour? And why do you look like that?"

"Brother!" They yelped out in surprise, much like how unsuspecting children would when they were just caught red handed.

Though skeptical of their odd reaction, I still apologize fearing I might have jump scared them by saying "Sorry. I didn\'t mean to scare you."

"No, no brother. You just surprised us." Nizam answered as he carried an uneasy smile across his lips, while Cyrus vigorously nodded his head.

"Is that so?" I inquired with a raised eyebrow, my skepticism increasing.

Nizam nodded as he meaningfully glanced at Cyrus, who quickly said "Yes! We were just surprised. That\'s all."

"Very well, but why do you look like that?" I decided to play along for the moment.

"We...Uhhh... We were just..." Nizam stuttered uncomfortably.

"We were chasing Bell!" Cyrus suddenly exclaimed, before continuing confidently "He woke us up and wouldn\'t let us sleep before playing with him, so we chased him around in the garden for a while."

"Bell? You mean the same Bell who was sleeping in my room and who not more than a few minutes ago rushed to the garden?" I asked with a knowing smile.

Hearing this Cyrus froze like a dear in headlights, as he received Nizam\'s silent glare

Shaking my head at all this, I calmly ask "Alright, how about we do away with the theatrics for now and you tell me what\'s really happening here?"

Nizam opened his mouth but no words came out, until a few seconds later a defeated sigh escaped his lips and saying "We were training brother."

"Training?" I ask with widened eyes.

"Yes, but we only do it for an hour at dawn. So you don\'t need to worry about over exerting ourselves." Nizam explained, worried that I would misunderstand and reprimand them for not taking care of themselves. After all, they knew just how serious our mother and I were whenever the topic of their wellbeing came into question.

"How long have you two been doing this?" I asked.

Glancing at each other for a moment, Nizam again answered truthfully "I\'ve been doing it for the last eight mouths or so, but Cyrus has only joined me in the last few weeks since we came to Wahagen."

Astonishment. That was the sole word I knew of that could describe my current state. And could anyone blame me? Afterall, such diligence is rarely ever seen even among the most resolute and assiduous of adults, let alone children as young as they are. Even more so when you factor in their identities as princes of one of the most powerful nations on the planet, who if they so wish it, could cruise their entire lives in unimaginable luxury and comfort.

Yet before I could say anything to them, Cyrus\' voice echoed in my ears, pleadingly saying "Brother could you please not tell mother about this?"

This again confused me, as mother would certainly nag them, fearing they\'re overexerting themselves as any mother would, but then she would most certainly be proud of them and wouldn\'t stop them, much like she does with me.

So I opened my mouth to ask them, but seeing their eyes I held myself back and simply stated with a playful smile "I have a feeling that I\'m going to suffer from a very sudden bout of selective memory loss." Before turning around and heading to my original destination.

Yet even after arriving at the garden and resuming my wrestling match with Bellerophon, I still couldn\'t understand the reason why they were so adamant on maintaining the secrecy of their training sessions.

Turning to Horus, I ask "Do you have an idea?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even without specifying Horus understood my meaning, yet to my disappointment he shook his head replying "I have a few guesses, but nothing I\'m confident enough in to say out loud."

Frowning, I simply call out "Abraham. Go fetch them."

"Right away, sire." He replies, before turning around and vanishing into the palace.

A few minutes later, Abraham returns with two men wearing the standard golden armor of the Palace Guard.

The two slightly tan men were clean shaven and of identical height, yet one was completely bald with two spiked gauntlets on each hand, with a more muscular physique, while the other had neck length greying black hair with a shield in his left hand and a broadsword strapped to his waist.

"Your imperial majesty." The two hailed as they kneeled before me.

"I will be quick. Were the two of you aware of my brothers\' actions?" I asked the personal guard of my siblings.

"Indeed we were, sire." The two answered unflinchingly.

"Then you must also know why they are doing it, correct?" I questioned.

"It is to surprise the empress and their respective teachers with their rapid progress, but also to be able to aid you sooner your majesty." The bald guard answered, his voice rough like two sand stones scraping off each other.

"Your majesty may not be aware of this, but the two princes adore you greatly sire, and their most treasured wish is to help you in any form they can. This was especially the case after the assassination incident a few months ago." The other further explained, his voice though still rough was far more pleasant.

A warm smile that seemed to rival that of the crack of dawn emerged upon my face as I simply said "I see."
