“How could a kid as young as you be a King?” I crossed my hands. He had to be around sixteen or seventeen.
“My Father was killed, which forced me to take the crown earlier than expected.”
“Prince!” I turned around to see Erik running towards me, “Who is that?”
“He can see me too. What a remarkable ability.” Erik picked up a sword and pointed it at Edward.
“How did you get in this area? Are you a spy? An assassin?”
“He says he is a King.” I replied.
Erik looked at him for a moment, “King of what territory?”
“King of Dracover. I was on my way to visit the King and my convoy was attacked. I woke up nearby.”
“King of Dracover? King Edward?” Erik lowered his sword as Edward revealed a small dragon tattoo on his abs. “I apologies. I was told you were killed years ago.”
“Has it really been years already?” he sighed, “Can I speak with the King here?” he requested.
“I can see what I can do. Prince, we will have to stop training for today. I have to help King Edward sort some things out. Please go back to your room and get cleaned up.”
“If I can request, can Prince…What is your name actually?” Edward turned towards me.
The moment he asked this, I nervously looked at the ground, “My name is Prince. The King did not give me any other name.”
“So, when you become king, will it be King Prince? I feel like that will get confusing.”
“Just call me Prince.” I quickly replied. It did hurt a little not to have an actual name, but I got used to it after these years. I liked to think my real name was still Sara though. It would be very odd though for a male to be named Sara, so I never once said it. I have tried to think of a few different male names though over time. Maybe someday, Ill actually try to go by an actual name. I had been one to actually suggest a name for Alexandra. One of my neighbors’ children was named Alexandra and I thought it was a pretty name. Father again had refused to give her a name and the women who was her mother, disappeared like my mother. I had never met mine, just like my sister.
“I request Prince to take me to see the King.” Erik looked at him for a moment and then nodded as he turned around.
