15 4- A Way around

It was all coming together now , minister Creed loved the situation he was in , with all the inflow of silver shillings right into his two faced pockets on either side of a pot bellied monster esque appearing person , though his face shone with beauty of lust and greed , his knowledge about military and politics and the combined form of both was nothing that could be questioned even by the king himself . And that would all be more than enough reason for the king to assign the minister for an extra pay job of teaching his not so understanding and opposing son the ability , holding capacity , the defence , the cavalry , infantry , artillery and the number games of the kingdom . Creed was more than happy to do the job which put him in an unlikely situation where Laurus and Vizar forced a secret meeting with him and he had to comply .

"We'll pay you twice the amount as discussed " Laurus speaks with a tone of disgust to creed . Seated in creed's basement , all three of them hoping to come to an agreement.

" I am planning for the prince's escape right under the king's nose .I was asked to teach him , and now here I am teaching him politics and also preparing him for whatever that awaits outside " creed talks in a condescending tone and with sly smile he continues pointing fingers and sipping wine, " you both came to me .. there was no other choice , the kid isn't allowed outside the castle , not allowed to contact anyone , so here I am , doing what nobody else can do , so I demand five times of what the agreement was " . Vizar remained quiet , he loved his kingdom , he would never go against his king but this had to be done for the kingdom , so he sat there waiting for Laurus the merchant to deal the greedy creed .

"we had a deal " tells Laurus with eyes slowly turning down with a look of anger and disgust . "well gentlemen , the deal is now ... hmmm.. improvised " says creed . The deal was made hands shook with utter taste of displease on one side and happiness on other . But beyond all this Laurus and Vizar knew creed was a man of his word , he would do whatever it takes to keep his word . So there it was laid , the plan , the teaching hours went by months after months , the plan was complete , Aeon was ready for what was to come , he was stronger , creed taught him only whatever he could but Aeon was already steps ahead , he knew what he had to do , he knew he had to be strong he was old enough . He trained all by himself , he was taught how to be like a commoner he knew everything about the kingdom , he knew it was time .

A week left for the plan to be executed . The plan was laid before Laurus , his and vizar's jobs were clear . Vizar had to arrange a small boat on the river bank , behind the castle , the river that made way on to end of the country to the sea .

Laurus had to go arrange atleast fifteen more kids of the same age as that of Aeon and who have never seen each other , so across the kingdom the kids were gathered with approval of their mothers , ofcourse , people couldn't afford food for the kids , they would rather have extra shillings than tolerate one of their many pain in the ass kids . But none knew what was to come .

The plan was all on paper , creed was smart , everyone trusted him with it , they were scared , but it had to be done , no other choice seemed to exist . A day more to go . Aeon goes to his window and looks at the forest that ran beyond the sight , he lifted his right hand and looking at the sight clenched his fist , closed his eyes and says to himself " For tomorrow".
