Perils Of War TLOS (Book 2)

Chapter Sixteen

Spyro and Cynder led the prince to one of the guest houses. They showed it to him and he thanked them.

"I am quite surprised to see my aunt this way, may I ask why I was never informed?" He said to them

"Lumi didn't tell you, nobody else was going to say anything" Spyro answered

"So, he directly violated a declaration of law from a king?" Asher replied

"If you want to go so far as to say that, yes" Spyro replied

"Then he has to go to the capital and face punishment" Asher stated, looking sad

"That's not going to happen" Cynder replied, a devious smile on her face

Asher perked up "Why not?"

"Because I'm the king of elemental dragons, he told me, that's all that will be needed" Spyro answered

Asher looked stunned for a moment, then smiled "Yes, that would work"

Spyro gave him a confused look. "You seem happy about that"

"Yes, I would never wish harm upon my uncle, unlike my brother, Fletcher. He wants to have him dragged back to the capital and imprisoned for going against a direct order from the king." Asher looked down

"Well, you tell your brother that if he does that, I will personally imprison him." Spyro told him

"I'd rather not, he's supposed on his way himself, he just wanted to stop and flex his powers on a few villages before he arrives. You can tell him yourself." Asher told him

"You both are coming?" Spyro asked

"Yeah, and my sister is supposed to as well, but she might shy out of it." The prince answered

"What's your brother like?" Cynder asked him

"He's terrible, he hates me because I'm the heir, and he wants the throne to himself. He's mean and aggressive, he will be very angry when he finds out about Amber. You might have to use your power to make him back off, he could be here at any time. Oh, and he has a massive ego, nobody says no to him, except me of course." The prince looked embarrassed about his brother.

Another horn sounded.

"There he is now" Asher sighed

They walked back into the square as another dragon procession landed.

"Where is my brother?" A dark grey dragon shouted

"I'm here, you don't have to bother the whole district" Asher answered

Fletcher rolled his eyes. Then saw Spyro and Cynder.

"Greeted by the king and queen of elemental dragons themselves? Do you not have servants?" He snickered

They said nothing to him, he was about to say something when he noticed Amber staring angerly at him for waking her up.

"Is that Lumi's mate?" He exclaimed "And she's pregnant, why weren't we informed?" He turned to Asher

"They told Spyro, that was enough" Asher replied

"The king will decide what is enough, where is he? Where is that traitor?" Fletcher started approaching the door.

"Stop" Asher told him "He is protected by a king; you will not bother him"

"Nonsense, he is the king's brother, he is under the jurisdiction of him and him alone" Fletcher snapped

Spyro growled "You will leave, you are not welcome here"

"You will not order a royal prince, king or not" Fletcher turned to him
