A man stood in his terrace at sunrise. Guards were standing beside him. A male maid approached him and pulled his royal night robe without letting his hands caress his skin.

After the male maid had pulled the robe, the man fell to the ground and started doing push-ups with one hand. He kept doing it for the next one hour before he stood, and was guided to the bathroom to take a shower.

He came out of the bathroom after a long shower. His male servants wiped his wet body with towel and started putting on his royal outfits. After they were done getting him ready, a woman dressed in a cooperate outfit walked and stood behind him as he buttoned his dress.

"You have meeting with the council by 1:00pm. You also have a meeting with princess Athena at 3pm." The woman read out his schedule to him.

"Is breakfast ready?" He asked.

"Yes my lord." She replied and gave way as he made his way to the dining area.

The guards opened the doors of the dining room and he walked in. An older woman, dressed in a royal outfit is seated already at the dining. He walked up straight to the woman, took her hand.

"Good morning my queen." He spoke softly and kissed her hand.

"How was your night son?" She asked as he settled down at the head chair.

"Very well mother. Yours?"

"Splendid." She replied with a small smile. "You know, after so many years you will be speaking one on one to your betrothed today."

"That, am aware of mother. I will handle everything well, you dont need to worry." He spoke and she smiled.

They ate their breakfast while discussing issues of the kingdom.

He attended the council meeting which took much time than expected. When he was done with the meeting, he came out and got into the back seat of the car which his guard opened for him.

The car started heading straight to the palace. He was looking out the window, enjoying the atmosphere when suddenly the car came to a stop.

"What's the matter? Why did you stop when we are not in the palace?" He asked the driver.

"Am very sorry my lord, but a body is lying ahead of the road." The driver spoke.

"What?!" He exclaimed. He looked ahead and sighted a lifeless body ahead.

He opened the car door and came down. His guards in the other car behind his, came out of the car. He walked up to the body and he saw it was a woman, her hair covered her face. She's putting on leather jeans and satin top and riding horse boots.

He squatted and touched her wrist, he found out that her pulse is beating which means she's still alive. He stood up and turned to his guards.

"Pick her up and put her in the car, she's breathing." He ordered his guards as he made his way back to his car.

One of the guards picked her up in his arms and placed her in the other car his guards were in. The journey to the palace contiuned.
