Chapter 8

Wilbur's POV

My eyes flutter open and I sit up to stretch my arms and wings.

I looked at the clock, '06:07 AM'

Seems I woke up earlier than usual, pretty normal though. I decided to just take a shower since I had nothing else to do.

I had a 10 minute shower and then continued my paperwork.

It was almost finished and I needed to do around 30 to 40 more I think. I sat on my chair and started on the first paperwork.

The more I do this the more I really just want to get out of here. Like, can't midnight come any sooner?!

It took me almost an hour to do those paperwork cause I was really lazy and ended up giving myself a 30 minute break after doing 3.

Anyways, all the paperwork is done and I decided to drop it off at my fathers study. I held the paperwork in my hands as I walked through the halls, I have a sparring session with him after I drop this off so I'm quite excited for that.

I knock the wooden door of the study and heard a faint "Come in!", I opened the door to see my father sitting at his desk reading through something. "Good morning father, I've finished the paperwork you've asked me to do." I say putting down the stack of paperwork on his desk.

Philza hummed, "Good, just so you know, after your sparring session with Techno, meet me and your mother at the Ballroom. We will be practicing for your coronation."

I let out a muffled groan and nodded, "Of course, father."

"You are dismissed." He says, I walked out of his room and sighed in relief. Now I can go spar with Techno! Something that isn't really involved with this royal training.

I quickly make my way to my room to put away my crown and cape, once done, I excitedly make my way to the Royal Knights Training Grounds where I see Techno and Sam.

"Ah, morning Wil." Sam greets, Sam is the current Captain of the Royal Knights and he's been training Techno. I smiled, "Morning Sam, morning Techno."

Techno gave me a quiet "Morning" before sam cuts in, "You ready for your sparring session?"

I nodded, "Today, you two will be doing hand-to-hand combat." Sam informs, "YES!" I scream while Techno groans. I'm really good at hand-to-hand combat, Techno is pretty decent but he's better with weapons.

Sam chuckles, "Looks like you will be winning Wil."

"Of course I will, I'm the best at hand-to-hand combat." And it wasn't exactly a lie, I was amazing at it. My secret to it is by thinking my enemy is my father and taking all of my skill and anger out on them.

"Shut up Wil, I'll beat you next time." Techno groans, Sam just chuckles. "Alright alright enough now, get to your positions."

We both got to our positions, "Ready."

I got into my fighting stance, "Set."

Techno is so going down, "And go!"

Techno charged at me and threw a punch my way but I dodged it and attempted to kick his legs so he was immobile but he managed to grab my foot just before it hit his legs.

Techno had a tight grip on my ankle and I was focused on getting his hand off, Techno took the time to punch me but I saw it coming so I caught his wrist with my left hand.

Techno's hand let go of my ankle as I pushed him down to the floor, I used my left hand to pin his hands to the floor and used my knee pin him down.

"Wow, nicely done Wil." Sam smiles, I let go of Techno and smile back at Sam. "Thanks, learned it from you."

Sam chuckles, "Heh, you're welcome. Now let's move on to the next spar."

An hour passes and my sparring session with Techno has ended. I headed back to my room and quickly freshened up, my parents were probably on their way to the ballroom right now so I better be quick.

I put on my royal attire and made sure I looked decent before heading out to the ballroom. I hummed a song I wrote a couple months ago as I walked down the quiet and empty halls. I just hope night comes soon, I cannot wait to get out of this place.

I finally made it to the huge doors leading to the ballroom and the guards stationed there immediately opened them for me, I smiled and bowed my head as a thanks.

I made my way down the stairs and saw my parents chatting with 2 other people. My mother looked back and smiled as she hears my footsteps, "There you are Wil, come here."

I walked over, "Look at this, isn't it gorgeous?" My mother said pulling me in to look at a picture. In the picture was an outfit, probably the outfit I'll wear tomorrow. "It looks great." I muttered.

"Great then, you go finish the decorations, I have to discuss something with my family." Father ushered the two servants out of the room leaving us alone. He cleared his throat, "Now we can finally practice in peace, remember, tomorrow has to be perfect so if you mess up we will start it all over again." I let out a defeated sigh and nodded.
