CEO In A Fantasy World Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Kneel

*whish*

Caesar's long hair and clothes fluttered in the wind as he gazed at the sky, Caesar sighed and shook his head… He walked down the steps and got in the carriage waiting for him.

"Head towards the training grounds" he ordered

"As you command my liege"

Caesar sat down in the carriage and smiled sinisterly "training that brat is going to be wonderful, I just can't wait to see his face"

m.u.f.fled laughter soon escaped from Caesar's lips causing the carriage driver to get chills… "just what is this crazy marshall thinking to laugh like that?" he thought to himself

After a little while, the carriage arrived at the training grounds and Caesar slowly stepped off, the knights that were training all stopped and saluted with utmost respect.

"We greet the Marshall!" They roared out

Caesar nodded his head in recognition and waved his hand "continue training"

"Yes, sir!"

The sweaty and s.h.i.+rtless knights all continued training after his words. Caesar walked towards Edward that was currently supervising the training. "How is it going so far, Edward"

Edward had a troubled expression and answered "It's going great for most of them but some of the knights aren't talented for the sword but a different weapon entirely"

Caesar rubbed his chin in contemplation "that is to be expected, not everyone can be a master of the sword… What weapons do they prefer using?"

"Some of them prefer the spear or a battle-axe"

Caesar furrowed his brows "Although I use the spear and sword in battle I'm not actually skilled at them, I simply just let my battle instincts take control" he thought to himself

"Well, let them train in the individual weapons they want to train in, there is no reason to force them to use the sword," Caesar thought for a second and said to Edward.
"Alright, ill do as you say"

Caesar nodded his head and walked over to the peaking head at the edge of the training grounds, right when Caesar s.h.i.+fted his eyes to the suspicious figure he could visibly see it flinch.

Caesar smiled slightly and walked over slowly… Once Caesar reached her he said in an apologetic tone "unfortunately I have a date with the prince today so I won't be able to keep you company"

"A date?" the voice answered back irritated

"Well yes, he should be here any time now," Caesar said mischievously while looking at the entrance to the training grounds.

*clak*

*clak*

White horses that were carrying an elegant carriage engraved with golden wings soon pa.s.sed the training grounds entrance and stopped in the middle of the area.

All of the knights training stopped to gaze at the carriage.

"Is this another n.o.ble?"

"Oh boy, not another one!!" someone called out in dread

Soon a short blonde haired and small young man stepped out of the carriage, the knights around the training grounds all breathed a sigh of relief "thank G.o.d, not even close to being as imposing as the marshall… looks like it's just a brat"

The Knights continued training without giving another glance to the prince. The prince wanted to make a grand entrance and gain all of the attention but instead, no one even batted an eye at him. The prince's facade quickly crumbled as he stepped towards one of the knights training and said in an irritated tone.

"Kneel before me you bug!" His words echoed across the entire training grounds making all of the knights stop training and look over.

The knight that the prince ordered to kneel was a 6ft"3 tall and very muscular man that sported a long black beard… his name was George.

George pointed to himself and asked in a bewildered tone "are you talking to me?"

"Yes, I'm talking to you!! I am the crown prince of this country, you are merely nothing but a commoner that my family decided to raise… I said kneel, so KNEEL!" The prince said in an exasperated tone

George scratched the back of his head embarra.s.sed "I'm afraid I can't do that prince, the marshall told me to never kneel before those that order it, only those that deserve it"

"H-how dare you refute the words of the crown prince!?!? I will have your entire family hung"

Caesar squinted his eyes and walked over towards the unaware prince and put his hand on the back of his head and forced him down.

"Crash"

Caesar pummeled the crown prince's face to the ground and started stepping on it… "disrespecting one of my men is disrespecting me you fuc*ing brat… Threatening one of my men's family is threatening my family"

"Asdnufuianidn" The price spoke nonsense while getting his face ground against the floor.

Caesar took his foot off the princes head and pulled him up by the hair… The prince had dirt on his face and looked like he lost a few teeth.

"Y-y-you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I will kill you… I am the prince of this country!!" the prince said in a fearful tone.

Caesar looked to George and said "George, spar against the prince… without holding back of course"

George looked at Caesar dumbfounded "you want me to spar against the prince?"

"Yes" Caesar answered back straightforwardly

George nodded his head absentmindedly and grabbed a wooden sword and got into attack position, Caesar threw a wooden sword to the crown prince.

"BEGIN" Caesar roared out

Right after the words entered into George's ears he immediately charged towards the crown prince…

"W-wait, y-you can't injure the c-crown prince… it's treas-"

Before he could finish his sentence George already struck the prince in his abdomen and caused him to fall on the ground.

"BLEH" The crown prince puked up his breakfast.

George looked towards Caesar with a confused look… However, Caesar just looked on coldly.

"Continue"

George struck down again on the now crouching princes back causing him to scream out in pain and fall in his own puke

George once again looked at Caesar but Caesar just coldly replied with one word

"Continue"

"AHHHHH" The prince's cry's echoed throughout the training grounds causing Ahri to turn away and even Edward furrow his brows.

Caesar raised his hand to stop George and walked over towards the crown prince and lifted up his head by pulling his hair.

"Do you understand prince? You ordered a man much stronger than you to kneel before you… You threatened that same man's family for what? Because you were born higher than him?"

"These men trained through h.e.l.l to become stronger, to protect this kingdom, the people, the royalty… And you think you deserve to order these men to kneel before you because you were born 'higher' than them?"

"You are nothing," Caesar said while looking down at the prince as though he was a worm

"P-please spare me… my father is the k-king"

Caesar looked down coldly at the prince and spoke one word

"Kneel"

"Y-y-you!!!"

Killing intent suddenly enveloped the entire training grounds as he looked down at the prince and repeated.
"Kneel"

The prince started shedding tears as he slowly kneeled in front of Caesar, his face that was filled with pride a minute ago was now thrown away and only a brat with shame remained.

"You must know the gravity of kneeling before someone to order someone to kneel before you… Your t.i.tle of prince means nothing here, and your father's influence means nothing."

Caesar paused for a second and continued

"But, I will make you capable of ordering men to kneel. I will give you a t.i.tle that means something in this next week"

"STAND!" Caesar roared

The prince slowly stood up with rage in his eyes "I-I swear one day I will surpa.s.s you!"

"It's better to make attainable dreams prince, you don't want to lose faith on your path"

The prince gnashed his teeth in anger while Caesar smiled and said "do 150 push ups"

"150?" The prince said surprised but seeing Caesar's cold eyes he didn't question any longer and started doing push-ups.

Caesar looked towards his knights and ordered: "bring me a whip"... The knights looked at Caesar with fear in their eyes before they hustled about and brought him a whip.

As the prince was struggling to do push-ups Caesar started talking casually "I heard a story once, one day a certain prince went out of the castle on his carriage and a little girl fainted on the road… but instead of helping the poor child the prince whipped the child to death for her insolence of getting in the way of the prince's path"

The prince did around 34 pushups but his arms gave out and he plopped to the ground

"PANG"

"AHHH"

The sound of a whip hitting flesh and scream right after echoed throughout the training grounds

"Did I tell you to stop prince?" Caesar said while emphasizing the 'prince'

The prince continued doing push-ups
"PANG"

"PANG"

"AHHH"

"PANG"

The sound of screaming and a whip hitting flesh sounded out for more than an hour before it finally stopped… The knights looked at Caesar and stuttered "I-It looks like he fainted, I guess we are stopping here for today"

Caesar looked at the knights dead-pan and said: "bring me a bucket of cold water"

Finally, after three more hours of 'training' Caesar looked at the tear-filled and b.l.o.o.d.y prince with an apathetic look… "training for today is done… We will continue at the same time tomorrow, don't be late or I will drag you here myself"

The prince didn't have enough strength to answer back and just fainted on the spot, one of the prince's aids dragged him back to the carriage and they drove off soon after.

Caesar looked at the knights and said "tomorrow we will acquaint the bear brigade and the prince together, I'm sure they will be great friends" Caesar smiled widely

The knight's in the training grounds all shuttered but they looked at the marshall with more respect than ever before… The line "threatening their family is threatening my family" all filled their hearts.

"Yes Marshall!" they roared back in reply

Suddenly Caesar looked at the knight's softly and said: "remember the gravity of kneeling, never kneel to those that order it or are undeserving… That is my biggest taboo"

The knight's all nodded solemnly

--------

"Haha, Anna. What's the long face? With our amount of soldiers, how could they possibly have a chance"

"I know, but I feel as though I'm bringing all of these elves to war for a personal grudge and it doesn't sit well with me"
"Don't worry Anna, you don't need a reason to exterminate evil… Just like the church exterminated those disgusting races in the dark continent"

"Hehe, I suppose you are right… you always make me feel better you know that?" she giggled softly

The man scratched the back of his head and replied seriously "I will make that evil general kneel before you and beg for forgiveness"
