Lord Astro And King Lazarus
“Why are you swinging your swords like a weak man? Don't act like that, act like a strong woman! Act like a man!” Israel's husky voice echoed in the training room, and the guards who were already sweating profusely, added more energy to the way they were swinging their swords.
Daniel was training with Frank, he had thought that Frank would be a bad swordsman, but he was wrong.
“Oh girl, you lied to me! You told you that you're bad at sword fighting, now I feel really tired!” Daniel moaned as he struck again, but Frank kept dodging his attacks, making the young hybrid frustrated. He wanted to use his wolf's ability, but he was scared of gaining unnecessary attention.
“Come on, straight guy! Or else this gay might fuvk you tonight!” Frank joked lightly, and the both of them giggled.
“No chit-chatting! I told you to fight!” Israel's loud shrilling voice thundered, at the two young men, and they both focused on their training.
‘Why is it so hard to get the king's secret and to teach him a great lesson?’ Daniel wondered with a deep frown on his face when the sword of one of the men nearly hit him. The man, Justin, did it purposefully, and on seeing that Daniel had a scratch on his face, Justin had a mischievous smirk on his lips, this angered Daniel's wolf, and he immediately allowed it to possess him. He became stronger, sharper, and angrier.
Daniel kept attacking Justin with his sword, and although Justin was a good dodger, he ended up getting hit numerous times. Blood began to drip from his injury, but Daniel's wolf didn't care, and his aggressive behavior refused to be suppressed.
The other men immediately stopped to watch the angry Daniel and his injured victim, but no one was ready to stop them.
Israel stood at a corner, a wide grin was on his face. He saw when Justin attacked Daniel, and although he wanted to help the man, he couldn't. He overhead when Liam was telling Henry that Daniel was a wolf, so he wanted to see his full ability and rage level.
After hours of intense fighting, the door was pushed open.
“That's enough!” Astro's thunder and there was a silence in the room. It felt like his words were an order that they must comply with.
Israel scoffed at Astro and smiled broadly as he looked at Daniel.
Daniel didn't want to stop, but Frank pulled him back, and the weak Justin collapsed on the floor like a log of wood.
“That's him, that's Lord Astro!” Frank squealed into Daniel's ears excitedly. Daniel's wolf was still boiling, nonetheless, his curiosity to see the man who Frank said could fuck him overcame him, and he turned to look at Astro. He lost his breath at once and he found himself staring at the cute anime male lead that had entered.
Astro was a tall and lean man. He was white in complexion, his small nose looked perfect on him, and the frown on his face made him look more enchanting. While Daniel was ogling over the man's beauty, Astro turned to face him, and a broad smile appeared on his face, catching Daniel by surprise.
The both of them looked starstruck, and they stared at each other dreamily, until Lazarus suddenly cleared his throat. He had just finished having a conversation with some of the royal men, and while retiring to his room, he decided to visit Liam, but he met the cunning devil at the balcony, watching Daniel and Justin fighting.
Seeing the amount of interest, suspicion, and curiosity in Liam's eyes, Lazarus decided to watch the little duo, and he was impressed by how swiftly Daniel fought. His impression was caught short when Astro entered, and on seeing the way Daniel stared at him, he became jealous and decided to drop in.
“Your Majesty, I thought you said you were going to an important meeting,” Astro bowed down at Lazarus, but Lazarus didn't pay any attention to his greetings, he put his hands to his back, and entered the training room, his eyes wandering around, but secretly focused on Daniel.
“I changed my mind and decided to come here instead,” Lazarus replied after a momentary silence, and he sat down on the stool in the training room.
The men stopped fighting and turned to look at their king with confusion and happiness in their eyes. Astro also looked surprised, but Israel wasn't, he knew that something strange was going on with Lazarus, because this was the first time he saw him so concerned over a human, better still, a man.
“Umm… I think we should be glad, the king decided to grace us with his presence. How about we entertain him with a duo, Daniel?” Israel asked with a cunning smile and turned to look at Daniel who was boiling in anger.
“Oh, that is a good idea. That way, the king will be relaxed and entertained at the same time. Also, he will know we are working hard to bring out the best guards,” Astro chipped in, in support of Israel's words, and Lazarus quickly stood up. He was scared to watch Daniel wrestle with Israel, and although he knew that he was a wolf, he still wasn't ready to see him get hurt.
“No, I am in no mood to watch or see blood,” Lazarus said and turned to face the training men who looked confused.
They had a ‘What is he doing here?’ look on their faces. Lazarus didn't want to raise any suspicions because he knew Xender might get interested in Daniel.
“I came here to check if my new personal guards are ready,” Lazarus lied, hoping it would convince the men. Israel squinted his eyes, and nearly erupted into laughter.
“Yes: Daniel, Frank, Justin, and Timber, the four of you are my best swordsman, so you'll be in charge of the king. You'll be his personal bodyguard,” Israel announced, and while the chosen men looked excited, to Daniel, it was like receiving a death sentence. But he couldn't defile the words of a Lord.
‘I will use it to my advantage and get my mission done quickly,” Daniel thought to himself, his eyes blazing in determination, and accidentally he hissed.
“Who was that? Who dares to insult the king?” Lazarus growled, and his eyes landed on Daniel's blue eyes.
