The braveness wasn’t the one that gets him on the throne, just the gold crown and the long cap of the gown made him the stunning eyes in front of the knights, lords and the ladies of the realm. The beautiful lady on his side is just the ordinary woman but because she was chosen by the king she had been got the title of queen. The ruler of the kingdom, the law and what he spoke will be the future. The King of all the kings.
The palace that was placed near the river that was the source of the water, trading was the spot of the huge wagons and barrel of wines to celebrate the fist of the great conquerors. The ships that sailed with different banners from all over the side, the horses and the knights that riding fleeing with the sharp blades in their wriest. The war will begin soon but no one knew where and who will be the enemy or the allies.
In the entrance, there was a bridge that connected the palace and the near forest of green. The water under the bridge was so dark never cleaned, as the passing visitors have seen the scene where young and man and woman was hanged like a displayed scarecrow, but birds cant be scared for it was a feast for some huge flesh-eating birds.
The gate guard counts the horse footstep as the music, they have been there for two days now standing and holding the axe with a long handle looking for the knights and the huge horse that entering the palace to represent the house of the lines. The quacking sound of crow the horse that feels like under the spell of grims.
Lord Vandlas the conquerer and the defender of the north, mounting a black colour well-groomed horse with shinny hair on the tail and his feet. The knight that was cast the spell of knight shining prince. But he wasn’t a prince. He was a knight that killed many and countless men from all the war. They said he was gifted, a gift of undying. No one wanted to mess with him, but even the king wanted him dead and thinks it was the blade of his own having the cast of spells from wicked witched. No one knew for sure but they expected that in that way.
The crowd claps and ladies were shouted when they saw the knight of a black horse. Even the King seemed happy but not because of the Knight future victory, but then he wanted the knight head and his blade. So he chose the butcher in the east to kill the enemy he desired.
The King and the Queen are sitting in the vicinity full of foods, fruits and fancy wines. With the dagger in his left hand, the queen seems nervous for she will see again a duel fight that won't stop until the opposition still breathing. The victory will be untold if the enemy doesn’t kill his opponent. The scene will be boring if no throat will be castrated.
The black knights whom they said had the gift of undying is still on his horse. On the other side was the opponent wearing a rug like a suit and metallic shield with a heavy pointing stick, as he horses the sound of heavy breathing is unbeatable. The lips of King seems obviously grown as he likes to see how the hired men killed the Knight he's jealous for.
“Look carefully, My Grace” teasing the queen so he could feel more the essence and aroma of dying victory. The captivating worried face of the reluctant queen, the hands that shake in the long beautiful floral style dress. The teary eyes seem so worried about what will be the next happening after. Is the Knight survive? The man whom she loved. “Look how the Knight die” how she heard the angry sound from the gracious king, she can't bear her stomach to see but she wasn’t a face if the kind will slap her in the public faces.
“Let the duel starts” loud signal of the watcher, the two opponent horses much like feeling the vibration of the crowd wanted them to start human gaming like a foal. The hand of Queens was becoming more unwell. Crowds of people from other different realms most of them are Lords and Laddies began to place a bet whom the Knight will win the duel, who was the man that was strong enough.
The horse began its roaring sounds, the knight slap the horse to start the run. A sword was opened in the armour bag, heard the iron sound of a soft blade. Run. Running Horse and the knight swordsman. One drop of the blade made the opponent down in the muddy part of the arena. The crowd were silent, no one had made a dare to shout for they wanted the other knight still get up. But no, as time fly the knight who is down in the muddy soil just hold his neck trying to hold and block the blood that comes out through.
The crowd began now to clap and stand up for the duel was gone, the knight was winning. The King was angry for the Knight with the gift of undying still living, breathing and standing with his horse. He looked at the queen looking at her with something.
It's still a mystery or a spell that made the knight alive, no one knew what was the reason behind but maybe there was really a charm of these undying Knight.
End. Thanks for reading my mini short story inspired by my favorite series "Game of Throne"
