4 4. Mace.

''Your Highness, we have arrived,'' Arthur announced.

Amelia and Sara smiled and walked out of the carriage.

Amelia looked behind her and saw the young man still sitting at the carriage, not intending to move.

''Aren't you coming?''

The young man crossed his arms. ''Why should I?''

Amelia sweatdropped. ''To meet my daddy?''

''Oh, right.'' Then the young man walked out of the carriage, while the trio just sighed.

The young man followed behind the trio while they were making their way over to Royal Palace's gates.

The guards saluted and let them in.

While walking in the corridors, the walls were filled with pictures of previous Kings and Queens.

Most of them had similar violet-colored hair as Amelia, which is probably unique to the Royal Family.

Shortly afterward, they finally arrived at the door which leads to the Throne Room, there were 2 Guards with fancy-looking armor with Royal Sigil in the middle of the armor.

''General, Your Highness.'' They saluted, Arthur nodded while Amelia gave a sweet smile.

They opened the doors, the young man followed closely behind, he widened his eyes slightly because the Throne Room was big!

It had beautiful violet-colored walls while pillars holding the building were made of gold, it can tell everything about the financial state of the Kingdom, they were rich, like very rich.

''Daddy!'' The young man's thought process was interrupted, he saw Amelia ran towards the throne where a gentle-looking man was standing with a crown on his head, he had medium length violet-colored hair with violet eyes, his face was pale like it was most precious jade, his outfit is one of the most expensive in the entire Kingdom because it is made of Royal silk, it is very thin, but also very smooth, so it is very comfortable to wear.

Next to him stood a woman with a gentle smile with black hair and blue eyes, she was a very beautiful individual, her rose-colored lips and curved nose gave a look of elegancy and matureness, she also wore a very expensive looking dress, it was fully red with some violet lines in the side, but it gave a look of Royalty.

''Amelia.'' The King smiled gently and hugged Amelia.

''Hehe~'' Amelia smiled sweetly.

''Your Majesty.'' Arthur bowed to the King and towards the Queen.

''Arthur, how was the trip.'' The King asked with a smile.

''It was fine your Majesty, her Highness missed you deeply,'' Arthur replied.

''Mouuu...'' Amelia pouted which earned chuckles from the King and the Queen.

...But then their eyesight was locked on to the young man.

''Who may this be?'' The King asked with a raised eyebrow.

''We met him during the ride, her Highness decided to give him a ride,'' Arthur answered.

The King looked at Amelia with a questioning look.

Amelia smiled sweetly. ''He is harmless, Daddy you know I have a good eye for these things.''

The King nodded gently.

...But then the Queen asked. ''What is your name sweety?''

The King looked at the young man with curiosity.

...But before the young man could answer.

''He doesn't have a name,'' Amelia said with a sad face.

The King and The Queen raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

''He is an orphan, and the orphanage never gave him a name...''

The King and The Queen looked shocked.

''From which Kingdom did you come sweety? Because in the Amethyst, giving a name, even to orphans is a must.'' The Queen asked with slight anger towards the orphanage.

''From that direction.'' The young man planned to point in the direction of the forest, but he pointed at the sky instead.

The King and The Queen sweatdropped, while Amelia shook her head.

*Cough*

Arthur coughed and said. ''He isn't the smartest kid around.''

''A-Ah I see...'' The King chuckled awkwardly.

The Queen looked at the young man in pity, and her maternal instincts kicked in. ''Do you have a place to go?''

The young man shook his head.

''You can stay in the castle for time being.'' She said, The King nodded while Amelia smiled sweetly.

''Ok.'' Was the young man's answer.

''Daddy, Mother, you can make him a citizen of Amethyst, therefore you can give him a name,'' Amelia suggested.

The King and The Queen nodded thoughtfully.

''We will have documents ready for tomorrow, until then, you should go rest, Amelia.'' The Queen said with a gentle smile.

Amelia smiled and bowed. ''Yes, mother.''

Amelia left with Sara behind her.

Only The King, Queen, Arthur, and the young man were left in the throne room.

The King looked at Arthur. ''Arthur, should we let this young man join the military?''

Arthur sweatdropped, with the shaky tone he said. ''I-I don't think that's a good idea.''

The King raised an eyebrow. ''Why is that?''

Arthur and The King looked at the young man, who was currently having a staring contest with a pillar, and he might be winning? At least in his mind.

The Queen smiled. ''He is just very eccentric, a good fit for the military.''

Arthur looked at her with a pale face. ''E-Eh...''

The King nodded. ''Take him to the training site, get him used to the military discipline.''

Arthur sighed and bowed.

Arthur walked to the young man. ''Let's go.''

The young man looked at him with narrowed eyes. ''Where?''

Arthur sighed. ''Didn't you listen?''

The young man nodded. ''I did.''

Arthur's eye twitched. ''Then why did you ask where we go?''

''When?''

Arthur took deep breaths. ''Just follow me, please.''

The young man nodded and followed behind him, he saw The Queen give him a sweet smile, he smiled as well and kept following Arthur.

The young man walked like a delinquent behind Arthur, which earned some weird looks from passerby's.

''Seriously, why are you walking like this?'' Arthur asked with some awkwardness.

''Punks will stay out of my way this way!'' He growled in anger.

''Punks, what?'' Arthur was confused.

''Hmph, is the air here making people stupid or what,'' The young man snorted and ignored Arthur who was taking huge breaths, trying to calm himself down.

Shortly afterward they arrived at the Knights Training Site, currently, quite many people were training, either sparring or simply running around the site.

The young man narrowed his eyes, like a predator hunting his prey.

''...What are you doing?'' Arthur asked, the young man suddenly started crouching like he was a fucking animal.

''I am about to hit some people!''

Arthur widened his eyes. ''Why?!''

The young man stood up. ''Not sure, forgot.''

Arthur sighed deeply. ''Whatever, do you want a sparring partner so we can see what you got?''

The young man nodded. ''Ok.''

''Regnier, come here.'' Arthur shouted towards one middle-aged man who was currently planning to run around the site, he turned his head and walked over, he saluted towards Arthur.

''Spar with him.'' He pointed at the young man.

Regnier looked at the young man with a raised eyebrow, he nodded and took a wooden sword, he walked over to one of the sparring spots that wasn't occupied.

''Choose your weapon,'' Arthur said.

The young man looked at the wooden weapons in front of him, he saw swords, spears, shields, daggers.

...But then he saw something which interested him.

He grabbed one of the wooden weapons, with a slight smirk he walked over to the sparring spot.

Regnier raised an eyebrow. ''Mace?''

That's right, the young man chose a mace as his weapon.

Arthur was slightly surprised, but then only shrugged his shoulders.

''Fight,'' Arthur said nonchalantly

Regnier smirked and put the wooden sword in front of him and rushed towards the young man.

''Take this!'' Regnier swung his sword towards the young man's shoulder, trying to disarm him.

...But then suddenly the young man crouched, Regnier raised an eyebrow but then changed the sword's direction, now it's heading at the young man's head.

...But then suddenly the young man tackled Regnier.

Regnier opened his eyes in shock.

The young man was sitting on his stomach and started raining punches with his left arm.

''Damn!'' Regnier cursed and dropped the sword to put the arms as a guard.

''The fuck?'' Arthur raised an eyebrow.

The young man pummeling Regnier without mercy, but he only punched... he had mace on his right arm, but Arthur thought that the young man forgot that he had it...

Sounds silly, but that's exactly what happened.

'Hmph, fighting with the sword against an unarmed man like me, I will hit you!' The young man snorted in his mind and kept increasing his strength.

Regnier tried to shake him off, but the young man was like an immovable object, not even flinching after Regnier tried to punch his body. 'Doesn't he feel pain?!' He anxiously thought.

This was supposed to be a spar, but it ended up being a dogfight.

All the Knights in the training site looked at them strangely.

Arthur screamed angrily. ''USE YOUR FUCKING MACE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!''

''Yes, use your mace stupid.'' The young man said with a mocking look, Regniers' had veins popping out of his forehead. 'Should I tell him that he is the one with the mace, but then I would probably lose...'

*Smack* *Smack* *Smack*

The young man kept punching at Regnier's block, making bruises form, but Regnier also punched at the young man's unguarded abdomen, but he didn't even flinch, the young man only snorted and headbutted, which made Regnier's nose break...
