Chapter 2 In destress

Now that Henzo was surrounded by a gang some Village men , who were willing to kill him just to get his gold, all hope was lost for him.

“ Henzo , !! …. “ he heard a voice a bit far from where he was but the voice sounded familiar.

When he turned to look it was Bot , his friend but he wasn’t alone he had 3 friends with him , they’ve been looking for the prince.

“ Hey ladies,….. ! Unless you would like you heads off  your bodies I would suggest you step away from the prince and walk away “ said bot , Confidently , Bot was tried in hand to hand combat and could disarm anyone , he hard huge muscles and So we’re he’s friends.

“ No harm done here ,.. we were just introducing yourself to the prince…. Ain’t that right , prince Henzo??” Said one of the men as  he was slowly backing off from the prince and trying to hide the axe he and with him…

And so they departed from the village…

“Come on My prince , you know we are friends and I won’t let you do this alone , I have talk to my father, he will arrange a boat for us” said bot .

“ Wow , really… And he agreed?!!  ….  wait did you tell him the whole story about my twin brother ? You know only you know about this, the kingdom should not have an idea about this “ said Henzo .

“ Come down my good friend… all I said was I needed a boat to start finishing and you know my father as been insisting that I start fishing and so he agreed to an arrange one for me “ said Bot , with a confident smile on his face as they were heading back to the kingdom.

As they almost approached their kingdom, they arrived at a small valley, where three men were on horses and hard two ladies with them , these women appeared to be slaves , no shoes on them, they looked tired and thirsty

“ Woah hold up guys…. I mean no trouble but you seem to be like kind men ,why won’t you let these fine ladies, ride on the horses as well i men that would only seem fair right ? asked prince Henzo .

“Mind your own business boy … move aside ..” one of the men replied who looked to be their leader , he was commanding is whole group.

“ watch your tongue old fool … you are talking to the prince , you old fool… the future king, so I suggest you listen to him, unless you want to have your teeth down your throat “ said bought jumping off his horse and holding his sword ready to take down the men.

“Easy Bot... “ said the prince with a calm voice,  “ these men are traders... That's my guess and these women are slaves to them “ said  the prince.

“Ain't that right gentlemen, “ the prince asked...

“Look, men.. We have a wise guy right here” said the guy who was the leader of the gang..

“ well I hate to burst your bubble, but these pretty ladies  here, ain't for sale, so you move or we settle this the hard way “

The women spoke no words in feel of their captives, but the prince and his friends were ready for a fight,.. they got off there horses and started moviNg towards each other.

Bot was the first to draw out his sword, upon seeing this the prince was confident enough to remove his sword too, tension was rising as the men were drawing nearer to each other.

Finally a fight of swords begun, but the men were no match for bot , for he was fast and very strong, he was able to protect himself and the prince , he was left face to face with the strong man , but he was wise enough to kneel cut the vains and tendons at the back of his feet before cutting off his head .

“You are free ladies… you can heard back to your families “ ( Henzo)

“ Take us with you … please!! “ cried one of the women , “for we have no place to go , no family  no friends.. please sir !!”

“It is a bad idea my prince”.. said one of Bot’s friends “ looking at the prince while whispering to him , “we don’t even know who they really are .. that we take them with us”

“ well what do you think Bot “ asked the prince

“ I don’t believe these ladies can harm me in anyway…. give them water and some food we start moving, we are long way from home “   So they took the two women with them having fed them and gave them water …. They headed back to the kingdom.

Back home in the kingdom the king was very worried thinking that his only soon , hand already visited the Black Sea, the king was worried sick … but has he was preparing to go look for his son, he heard from one of the guards.

“ My king it’s Henzo…. He’s back and he is not alone “ ( gaurd)

“ Who is my son with ?” … ask the king with so much anger in his voice and bitterness, he quickly went outside to check and there he saw him with Bot , his friend known to be a troublesome friend “

“My king “ said Bot while bending a knee and looking down….

“ You fool “ said the king with anger and range on he’s face ….

“ Dad .. stop it !! … the man you are insulting saved my life, if not Bot … I would have been dead by now “ said the prince…

“ Whatever the case is I don’t want to see you with him ever again “ ( The King )

“ I’m not twelve years anymore dad , let’s not fight over this … I’m hungry and tired “ ( Henzo)

Bot went back to his place and showed the two women where they could be staying as instructed by Henzo, but one of the women was interested in Henzo , the oldest one between the two and was only interested after knowing that he was really a prince.
