hope.”
He laughed as he reached me and patted my shoulder while leading me out the door. “No. Not exactly that kind of talk. I just wanted to let you know that you’ll notice how different things are going to be in the coming days. There may be several or one particular girl that will show an extreme amount of interest in you but I don’t want you to get too attached.”
“Attached? Why? I thought that was a good thing.”
“Not in this particular case.”
“Oh.” I sighed. “I see. You don’t want me killing anyone.”
“No. That’s not it. You already have a destiny with whoever will be chosen as your mother’s successor.”
“You mean, like an Assassin?”
“Mmm hmm. That’s why I think it’s important for you to keep your emotions and desires separate when it comes to the girls you’ll meet through the Academy.”
“But if I’m already destined to be with someone, why haven’t I met her?”
“We’re not even fully sure who she is but when the time comes, she’ll reveal herself and take her place at your side.”
“How long could that take?”
“I don’t want you to worry about your fate with her now. It will be several years before you meet her. By then, your experiences will be well enough to sustain her.”
“So, you tell me that and now I’m just supposed for forget about it completely?”
He laughed but I wasn’t amused by the thought. “Not forget. Just put it in the back of your mind so it’s always there when another girl thinks she’s in love with you. You’ll easily be able to not share in that feeling by knowing there’s someone more special waiting for you.”
“Okay, I’ll do that.”
“Good. Now let’s hurry and catch up to the others.”
We made it to the stables and were given our horses that were there waiting for us. We both got on and took them out into the city along the streets towards the Royal Academy built for families of Randal who resided a near distance to the palace.
From what I researched, it was located just a couple of streets north where it was enclosed by its own walls of rules, discipline and privacy for the molding of the young minds of Seni. Four one story buildings made up the whole of this great school, each with its own design and purpose and named by the direction in which they sit.
The West Hall was the main building of the Academy where all the young learners would pass through to get to the rest of the grounds. It held their perfectly coordinated library as well as the offices for the Academy’s highest positions of educators and had its own facilities for any unsuspected medical emergencies.
The South Hall was where meals were provided at mid-day and was fashioned to be orderly and efficient with their acute line system. Tables were stationary in a design to cause less clutter and fewer confusion amongst the attendants. It was to be neat and obedient at all times and noise was only tolerated to a normal speaking level.
The East Hall was the academic building where most of the classes were taught, such as world as well as national history, mathematics, physical science, literature recite, theatrical performance, creative arts and cuisine study for girls.
The North Hall was the training room where the boys’ combat study class took place as the Academy looked very highly on teaching and encouraging the young men to take up a military based career and serve their great country in the best way possible.
It was everything I read. We arrived through the main gates and simply tied the horses right out front since this was just to be a quick visit and we had no need to use the stable service that was provided.
We walked at our father’s sides as we entered and other kids have already begun to show up to register as well. Everyone seemed to stop what they were doing when they saw us and whispers started to spread around of the arrival of Seni’s Prince and young Lords.
We tried not to act like we noticed as we followed
