Crowns of Heritage

Chapter 58- Reunion

(ROSEMARY P.O.V)

I woke up and felt a little generous. I got dressed and went to Sylvester's room and knocked on the door. He opened the door and looked at me.

“Why are you in front of my room so early in the morning?” He said.

“Follow me,” I said.

I started to walk and he followed behind. I stood in front of the door of the room Nashi was in.

“What are you about to do?” Sylvester said while yawning.

“Giving your brother a generous tip of life and the boost he needs at the moment.” I said.

Sylvester looked at me suspiciously.

“Well, I'll see if he has what it takes and stop being so weak. If he breaks because of this then he deserves it” I said.

Sylvester opened the door and we walked inside the room. Nashi was still asleep, and Sylvester and I stood over him. He must have sensed us, as he opened his eyes.

“We should just off your brother and you can become the Duke” I said.

Sylvester looked at me with a frown on his face and I shrugged my shoulders.

Nashi started to look around the room as he was coming to his senses.

“Hey Nashi, at this rate Sage will be getting married and you'll be here drowning in your sorrow” I said.

I watched his face frown up and I was feeling amused.

Sylvester pulled Nashi by the shirt.

“What the hell are you thinking Nashi?”, he said, “Do you really want to lose Sage this way?” He asked.

Nashi shook his head.

“Maybe she'll find a husband at one of the Noble meetings' ' I said, still feeling amused, while I watched his facial expression get upset by the second.

“Rosemary, cut it out,” Sylvester said.

I turned around and walked near the door. I glanced back.

“We're leaving now to go to the western region” I said, “Maybe Sage found herself a strong knight over there” I said and smiled and then winked my right eye.

Sylvester and Nashi glared at me and I felt amused once again.

“Ah, I wonder how her neighboring kingdom fiancé looks, he might actually be hot in person. You know Sage is a sucker for good looks”, I said and left the room.

I heard Sylvester shout as I closed the door. I instantly felt better.

I walked down the stairs to where my father and mother were.

“You said you needed to do something before we left, what was it?” Mother asked.

“Giving life lessons,” I said.

Father and mother looked at each other.

We walked outside of the villa, Grandfather, Massey, Cena and Peyton were waiting for us. While Na'mah stayed to take care of the pregnant woman.

We took Princess Sarah with us because we don't trust anyone else to watch her.

“You people are crazy,” she said as we were walking to the gate.

“And your father is a scumbag”, I replied.

We got into the vehicle with my mother, Peyton and Cena, while Massey, Father and grandfather were in grandfather's truck.

“How far is the western region?” I asked.

“About six hours,” my mother replied.

Ah, I hate long trips, I mumbled to myself.

I suddenly realized something. Yeshiva left to search for Sage and he probably doesn't even know she is safe at the Winter Dukedom.

(YESHIVA'S P.O.V)

The next morning, Nathan, Palin, and I left the cabin to go to the village and walked for a couple hours. After hearing about Sage's little battlefield experience from Nathan, I was impressed.

Once we made it to the village, I was able to talk to Asiana and she filled me in about the whole palace thing that happened.

Later on today, we were going to go visit Sage at the Winter estate.

“The conference is tomorrow, once Prince Morgan gives us more details after the conference. We'll be able to make some more moves.”, Nathan said.

“What are your plans about Count Livens?”, I asked.

“We'll kill him when we get the chance, but for now I need to find out what he's planning.” Nathan said.

I walked with them to the nearby village, and saw multiple medical tents.

I suddenly saw someone that I didn't wish to see again. As soon as she saw me, she ran over to where I was.

“Yeshiva”, she said.

I ignored her and continued to walk.

“Yeshiva, I know you hear me calling you”, she said.

Shit, why did I have to see her. I miss Rosie, I thought to myself.

“You're just as rude as ever” she said as she ran behind me.

“I have nothing to say to you” I said, while I continued to walk.

“How can you be so rude, that's exactly why I broke our engagement” she said.

I turned around and saw my ex fiance, “Vanessa, I have nothing to say to you.” I said, “Plus my girlfriend told me not to talk to strange women” I said and walked off.

I continued to walk to the medical tent as I heard her scoff. Shit, I hope she doesn't become a problem, cause I won't stop Rosie from killing her ass.

I walked over to where Nathan was and he turned around in my direction, this man's senses are very sharp.

“Since there's not much to do at the medical tent. We can go visit Sage." He said.

(SAGE P.O.V)

When it became morning, Haley, my personal maid woke me up for my management class. Instead of Duchess Mary being my teacher for today, it seemed like the head maid Lucy was going to be my tutor.

I was reading some of the documents and I didn't know just how powerful the Duke was. Not only was his knightage strong but he was even richer than the royal family.

“Am I really the sole owner of this?”, I asked Lucy.

She nodded her head, “Yes, everything that the Dukedom owns is yours. Your sister would get a little inheritance just Princess Kalia and her sister Princess Chelsea but she's still a baby. But you, my Lady, have the title and the power of the Dukedom, ” Lucy explained.

I nodded my head and the little bell went off

“This is it for this morning, you may go train with the Knights now. Later on, today will be your history class.” Lucy said.

I got up from the chair and went to my room to change into my clothes. After I got changed, my guard Sir Valley escorted me to the training grounds. When I got to the training ground, everyone bowed and greeted me.

“Princess, do you think you can keep us with our practice? '',Captain Capilano said, he was a middle-aged man who was the captain of the Winter knights. He was the first one to swear his loyalty to me.

I nodded my head.

I joined them as they ran laps around the training grounds. I was running next to a knight named Vero. He was tall and thin but had a muscular body.

“Hey Sir Vero, what training are we going to be doing today?”, I asked curiously.

“Thirty laps, three hundred push-ups, three hundred squats and thousand sword swings with a few sparring matches,”he replied.

Why do I feel excited hearing that? I questioned myself.

After two hours, I was feeling like I was going to die. I finally finished my laps and now was the time to attempt to do push-ups.

I got onto the ground and started doing a few push-ups.

“That's only ten, is that all you got Princess”, Sir Vero said, trying to challenge me.

“It's just been awhile since I've done push-ups”I said.

About an hour or so later, while struggling through push-ups. I finally made it to two hundred push-ups and gave up. I heard the knights laughing and Captain Capilano reached down his hand and helped me off the ground.

“Shall we move on the squats or sword swings, it's your pick young Duchess", Captain Capilano said.

“Sword swings”, I replied.

I watched them as they swung their swords in different stances and attempted to copy them.

“Wow, you're a fast learner”, Sir Vero said.

I continued to watch them and copy everything they were doing. It felt like something inside of me was awaking as I swung my sword around. I made it to three hundred swings until I heard some calling for me.

When I looked over in the direction, I saw Duke Winter and then I saw Nathan and Yeshiva. Why is Yeshiva here? I thought to myself then I remembered he's one of my grandfather's best trackers in the clan.

One of the knight came to grab my wooden sword and I walked over to where they were standing. When I walked up to them, I saw Yeshiva had a smirk on his face.

“I heard about your little battlefield experience, how was it?”, he asked.

I don't know what it was but I kept mesmerizing about it. The excitement that I felt should've scared me but a part of me wanted to experience it again.

“I felt my heart racing”, I said.

They all chuckled.

“If you keep that attitude, you'll end up a warrior like your father”, Duke Winter said.

“I think you take after your father more than Natalie. You are more level-headed than Natalie and Rosie” Yeshiva said.

I really hated it when he made that annoying smirk. Ah, I should start a little trouble for him.

I tilt my head to the right side, “Hey Yeshiva, before coming here I'm pretty sure you and Rosie had s…” before I could finish Yeshiva hurried and covered my mouth. Which made Nathan flinch a little.

“Yeshiva and Rosie?”, he said, looking at us.

Ah, now I know how Rosie feels when she starts trouble. It's so amusing.

Yeshiva still had my mouth covered and I felt glares coming from behind and Yeshiva removed his hand.

“Watch it Yeshiva, I have my own army” I said while smirking.

I saw one of his eyes twitch. “Let's spar!” He said, while showing me challenging look.

“Gladly” I said and smirked.

We walked over and one of the knights brought us each a wooden sword.

“I won't go easy on you princess,” Yeshiva said.

“I don't expect you to,” I said.

We didn't even wait to get into a stance, we just ran towards each other and started to clash swords.

(PRINCE MOISES P.O.V)

We had about another three hours before we entered the western region. Masiro, Massey and I were discussing the conference and getting into contact with one of the rebel groups.

“One of my squad members that's inside of the Kalpana kingdom told me about the recent attack on the western border.” Masiro said.

“Have they told you when another attack will happen?”, I asked.

“Possibly in a couple of days, Saul will contact me”, Masiro said.

“Saul?”, I asked.

“He's Yeshiva and Jemas father and one of Natalie's former subordinates, '' Masiro explains.

“What's your plan Prince Moises?”Massey asked.

I looked back towards the backseat at Massey, “To gather an army big enough to fight both kingdoms” I said.

Masiro and Massey agreed to join, now we just have to gather some rebels.

After riding for three hours, we arrived at the Dukedom domain. It's been a long time since I've came here, and it still looks as big as it always has. We got out of the car and Natalie and Rosemary came over and stood next to me. One of the guards walked away from his post and stepped forward.

“There's no appointments today,” he said.

As soon as he saw who I was, he bowed his head and told the other guard to hurry up and open the gate.

“Prince Moises”, he said as he bowed again, facing my direction.

We walked through the gate and made our way to the castle. When we got closer I saw an older woman and two maids beside her.

“Oh my, Moises,” she said as she started to hurry towards me.

“Grandmother”, I said and hugged her as soon as we got closer.

“Where have you been all this time?”, she asked, while crying.

“It's a long story, but I'll tell you after seeing my grandfather” I said.

After hugging, I turned around and introduced Natalie and Rosemary and then I introduced everyone else that was behind us.

“Come inside eveyone” she said, while turning around and started to walk.

“Where's Sage?”Rosemary asked.

“Training grounds with the knights and the Duke” grandmother replied.

Once we made it into the castle, we all followed behind towards the training ground that set behind of the castle.

When we made it to the training grounds, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Sage was sparring with the Knights. Suddenly, I was caught off guard when I saw Rosemary running past me. She jumped and hugged a man that looked familiar to me. Then I saw Peyton and Massey running towards them as well. I saw my grandfather watching the sparring then I noticed Sage was also sparring against Yeshiva. She was sparring against multiple people at once.

When Natalie and I got closer, “She definitely takes after you”, she said.

I instantly had a proud father moment.

When I walked over to my grandfather, he turned around and smiled.

“Welcome back home”, he said, and turned back around.

I looked over at Rosemary and Peyton hugging the other gentleman. When he looked over, my eyes widened

“No fucking way,” I said.

He walked over and bowed his head, “Commander” he said and raised his head.

“Nathan, where the fuck have you been all these years?”, I said.

Peyton, Rosemary, and Natalie walked over to where we were standing. I suddenly saw Sage running towards us.

“You two know each other?”, Rosemary asked.

“We all went to the knight academy together and fought wars together.” I said.

Peyton and Nathan nodded their heads in agreement.

“No wonder you two raised us,” Rosemary said, looking at Peyton and Nathan.

“Rosie!”, I heard Sage shouting and she was running towards us.

Rosemary turned around and they ran to each other.

“Geez they've always done that ever since they were young. Every time they saw each other.”, Peyton said.

Sage and Rosemary walked over to us.

“Wow, it's like a family reunion”, Rosemary said.

My grandfather walked over and I introduced everyone to him.

“Since everyone is here now, how about we get started” Grandfather said.

“Start what?”Rosemary and Sage asked at the same time.

“The conference is tomorrow evening, Sage will be coming with me as my successor.”, grandfather said and looked at me, “And you become the commander of the knights again and we shall start our rebellion once the coronation takes place.” He added.

“Wait, you're planning a rebellion as well?” Sage asked.

My grandfather smiled, “Morgan and I have been planning our rebellion since your father was exiled. Now that he's here we can begin, starting with Sage succession.” he said.

He turned around and started to walk back to the castle.
