Chapter Text
Kyle groaned a bit as some sunlight peaked through his room hitting his head. He didn't even feel like waking up until he remember he had to go too Godows Forest with Ike as Stan was coming with them"Of for fuck sake!" he groaned and quickly got up, he slept like shit due to all the anxiety of confessing his feelings towards Stan which he wasn't ready for and also the fact he slept in his clothes with out changing which was also a bonus fact for him.
"I fucking hate life..."He grumbled as his heart pounded loudly in his chest due to how scared he was. Kyle sighed and left his room to go find Ike but stopped in tracks when he noticed Stan walking towards him, great even better for him he forgot that his crush was coming along with them too.
"Kyle you're majesty are you alright you look very frazzled did you get enough sleep?" Stan asked him worriedly.
God Kyle always hated how Stan got worried over the slightness things but he smiled softly" I did Stan just not used to waking up during the sunrise mornings, now if you don't mind I need too fetch Ike from his chambers knowing him Stan get ready for a long day of whining and complaining in all of Zaron" He laughed a bit but blushed when Stan laughed as well. Kyle really hated this feeling, when Stan laughed he felt his heart doing flips he swears that Stan was meant to be his for all of eternity but he can only dream.
Kyle was also going to take chef words of advice to heart since finding out you're crush is in a relationship will hurt more than anything. So he wants to get rejected which he will know in fact is like being stabbed to death a thousands time over and over again.
"Anyways I'll get Ike can you wait by the throne room Stan while I retrieve Ike since it'll be hard to get him out of bed once everyone is awake" Kyle explained to Stan, Kyle felt his face heat up a bit and tried to stop it by gripping his ears a bit because whenever he gets either embarrassed or flustered the tip of his ears would turn red. He soon quickly walked off not want wanting to hear Stan why he was covering his ears even though Stan had witness it over many times when he was younger.
Kyle sighed once he was out of sight from Stan and thanks to his luck he was right near Ike's room to which he was grateful for and knocked on his brothers door" Ike wake up, come on we have to get going to Godows to visit Tweek and Feldspar. I hope you didn't forget about it " he said seriously knowing Ike tends to do that.
Kyle smirked when he heard Ike fall out of bed and started rushing as he heard bottles and books crash "Fuck!" is all that Kyle heard making him chuckle. He hopes that Ike will never change, since Ike is known to cause a bit of mischief but the good kind really. But what he wasn't excited for what mostly Ike's bitching and whining to go all the way to Godows, hey if Ike wanted to be trained by Feldspar so be it since it was Ike responsibility to make sure he got there in time and that there will be no rushing once they get there.
Soon Ike's door swung open and he looked up at Kyle "O-Okay I-I'm ready" he said tiredly and clearly exhausted since he rushed out of bed.
Kyle just smiled and rolled his eyes" Come lets go to the stables where Kevin has our horses wait for us" he smiled. Clearly not wanting to waste any time Kyle grab Ike arm and linked it with his as they started speed walking down the corridors, it was an short-cut for them since it did lead to the stair way where the stables where. It was helped both Ike and Kyle avoid there father since he would ramble on and on and one about safety but mostly to Kyle on how a king should act and blah blah blah.
Kyle doesn't really hate his father he doesn't its just that his father is a bit...gullible...that was the nicest way he could put it, he also wasn't the greatest at keeping secrets since he almost started a war once and thankfully there mother made sure that didn't happen on her watch.
"Kyle please slow down I don't want us well mostly me to trip down the cobble stone stair way and mother tending our wounds you know" Ike stated slowing down on purpose.
Kyle stumbled a bit and soon slow down as well since he was lost in thought and he didn't realise they were already near the stairs. Plus falling down these stairs would require lots of healthy afterwards and scolding from there mother as well which both boys weren't really thrilled about so they descend down the stairs in a slow pace not wanting to trip.
Once they made it to the bottom Ike took off running to the stables leave Kyle behind, Though it did make Kyle smiled since Ike was still a kid at heart and he didn't mind one bit besides he could tell that Ike was excited for this just for him and Stan they weren't ready for a long session of complaining from Larnion to Godows which they'll arrive somewhere between the next sunrise or sun fall depending on how the horses feel.
Speaking of Stan, Kyle didn't see him near the stables. Usually Stan will arrive before them maybe he just need to fetch a few things before there long journey, Kyle walked over to Kevin who was saddling up the horses for there journey.
"Morning you're majesties, You're horses are all saddled up and ready to go on their journey too Godows. " Kevin smiled as he bowed before Kyle and Ike. (With Ike already on his horse)
"Thank you Kevin, I have to ask you something have you seen Stan? He's usually arrives when you're saddling up the horses did he need to fetch something?'Kyle asked him. It wasn't normal for him since Stan would always be at the stables first thing tending to his horse.
Kevin looked at Kyle and shrugged a bit "He said he need to do something real quick. I think he went to get some rations for the journey to Godows my prince " he explained to the best of his knowledge.
Kyle smiled and nodded "Than I'll retive him make sure Ike does run off since he'll get lost" he stated to Kevin, but smirked when he heard Ike groan very annoyed by this. "Kyle i'm not a baby !" Ike yelled at him. Kyle smiled as he went off to fetch Stan so they can start their travel to Godows and he hoped that Stan doesn't get into a fight with Feldspar, that all he hoped for cause He and Tweek are both tired of seeing them fight for the dumbest stuff in all of Zaron.
Kyle wonder the halls searching for Stan in every single room knocking on every door and asking every workers,maids,even Chef if he had seen Stan and luckily Bebe was the one who smiled and nodded. "No worries my Prince, Stanley is with lady Wendy near the front entrance at the moment with extra clothes for you're travels to Godows, you just missed them." She explained to Kyle.
Kyle smiled and nodded"Thank you Bebe you may as well take a break from you're chores " he explained before he walked off to the entrance area.
Kyle felt that he couldn't have missed them did he? I mean Stan was delaying there trip too Godows, if he Stan didn't want to go he should have told him instead of stalling by taking too Wendy. He should thank Wendy and she was probably scolding Stan for making the princes wait for him since they needed to get going well mostly Ike since his younger was a bit impatient with travels like these.
Kyle chuckled softly to himself but sighed in relive when he spotted Wendy and Stan, he was about to say something but stopped as if he was rooted in place. Kyle just held his tongue as he waited for Stan or Wendy too notice him till his cleared his throat. Making both of them jumped out of surprise with Stan was about to say something rude but bowed quickly to Kyle
"You're majesty we didn't see you" Stan said quickly feeling quiet embarrassed he almost yelled at Kyle.
Kyle only gave a stern look" Ike and I have been waiting for you Stanley, If you didn't want to go too Godows I would have taken Tolkien instead since you're a bit busy with Wendy on whatever you two were doing was so important than making me wait for you" he said angrily at Stan making him look away ashamed.
"As for you Wendy I advise you tell Stan too get his ass going, You might have as well informed me that Stan was with you. I don't like waiting for long for now I'll let this slide okay now let us get going" Kyle glared at her before shifting his gaze towards Stan.
Wendy bowed apologetically clearly nervous"I-I'm sorry my prince it won't happen again" She said before leaving so she can do her daily chores, Once she was gone it was only Stan and Kyle in the main entrance area with the air being very stiff with how awkward the situation was.
"Kyle I-" Stan was cut off when Kyle walked by him not even acknowledging Stan as he headed outside with Stan fallowing him behind. Kyle wanted nothing to do with Stan, he arrived to the stable area didn't even make notice to Kevin who seemed to understand that Kyle was in a bad mood with Stan fallowing behind his head hanging low.
Kyle soon hopped onto his horse and just cracked the reins as his horse took off from the palace gates galloping outside the city of Larnion,with Stan on his horse almost shocked that Kyle would leave him and Ike behind. Speaking of Ike he strolled up with his horse and just glared at Stan clearly pissed. " Whatever you did to Kyle to make him this mad and I find out why, I will harm you" He said seriously and kicked the sides of his horse, as it gallops to catch up to Kyle with Ike being very worried for his eldest brother.
Kevin looked at Stan before he looked away from the knight whatever happened between the two of them wasn't his problem. Which was good since it wasn't none of his business, Stan side as he made sure he didn't lose sight of the princes but mostly Kyle. He just patted his horses neck before clicking his tongue a bit as his horse races off too catch up to both princes with the sun being covered by clouds as Stan hoped no rain will slow down the journey to Godows.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once out of the town and away from the people Kyle's breath was ragged as he pulled the reins a bit slowly his horse down. He wasn't going to cry not now, What he saw was none of his business what so ever if Stan wanted to fuck around he should have told him in person, but more importantly Stan should have realized that making him wait wasn't good either. He didn't want Stan near him nor did he wishes to speak to him that was his own doing and his own fault.
Kyle sighed as he looked up into the sky and noticed that clouds were gathering into dark clouds which meant that there will be rain. "Clearly this is all Stan's fault...."he grumbled annoyed.
Soon he heard two more heavy foot falls run past the clearing the first one being Ike who was ready to say something as he quickly pulled his reins making horse slow down and second pair was with Stan with a worried look on his face yet mad that Kyle took off like that with out any protection.
Kyle really didn't care about Stan being mad at him even though it was a bit foolish of him taking off but he didn't want to hear whatever Stan had to say to him. "Took you long enough, come lets get going before it rains and Stan keep you're mouth shut" he stated and gently tap the sides of his horse making walk through the clearing.
Stan opened his mouth but closed it as he fallowed Kyle's lead too Godows but was on alert with any thieves or bandits to protect both princes, while also thinking of an apology to Kyle for making them delay when he should have been ready a second ago.
Ike on the hand looked at Kyle concerned as he horse walks up right next to Kyle as he looked at Kyle with a worried expression"Kyle....You okay?" Ike asked him softly.
"Look Ike I understand you're worried but I don't want to talk about it please....Stan is an asshole and a piece of shit if he even tries to talk to me I will ignore him.... but when we get too Godows I'll tell you what happen as for now stay alert okay....." Kyle explained calmly but with a hint of heartbreak in his voice. Right now he needs to push these feelings aside since they were out in the open where he and Ike can both either be killed or held for ransom by whoever comes there way.
Ike chewed his bottom lip but nodded and just looked ahead. The only sound around the three were the winds blowing through the trees and the sound of their horses hooves on the ground as the march through the grass, as they cut corners just to reach Godows. It was quiet an awkward silent ride all the way there when it started to rain, again this was all Stan's fault Kyle thought to himself and cast a spell keeping himself and Ike dried but not for Stan (Kyle only protected Stan's horse from the rain.)
"Are you serious ?!" Stan said seriously, when the rain started to pick up making him all drench from the water.
Kyle didn't say anything rolling his eyes, but only listened to the rain tap against the magical barrier it was relaxing but also kept him calm but that didn't mean he wasn't going to forgive Stan. But it also made thing between them a bit awkward now but for now he touch base on that later when they arrive to Godows, since clearly this was going to be a long ride with out talking to Stan. Plus it'll make things worse when Tweek and Feldspar notice that he wasn't going to talk to his loyal guard which of course Feldspar would tease the shit out of Stan.
Soon the rain lighten up a bit making Kyle drop his spell as the rain taps against there clothes, Kyle sided eye Stan and noticed how Stan was completely drenched from the rain but stayed quiet which was good. This was actually his punishment if he got sick it wasn't Kyle's problem that was something Stan had to deal with when he get's back to the palace once there trip too Godows was over speaking of Godows they were already half-way there and thanks the gods since Ike wasn't complaining.
Kyle understood if Ike complained either way he wouldn't want to upset him even more, but Kyle would prefer Ike to complain than Stan trying to speak to him. But he was glad they made it to Godows, since there were a few markings around the tree's which was pretty clear they were close too the area.
"....So how much longer till we get too Godows Kyle?" Ike asked Kyle quietly breaking the tension.
"Where almost there Ike were almost there, Once we get there I'm going to ask of we can have any boar stew okay " Kyle explained and smiled softly at Ike who just nodded a bit.
Clearly the ride to Godows was longer than expected, but at least they were almost there. Clearly it didn't bother Kyle that much but it did certainly bother Stan since he did hear his knight grumble something about seeing Feldspar again he had no idea what his petty rivalry with Feldspar was, But that didn't matter since 1 there horses were tired, and 2 all three of them where hungry.
While on horse back, Kyle horse huffed and moved backwards clearly sensing a a threat with soft grunts and whining a bit. Kyle pets his horse gently hushing them "Shhh it's okay it's okay" he said softly clearly worried but looked around for any signs of threats. He looked back when a spear barely missed him by and inch making his horse freak out even more.
" Man are tye! Mana care- tye mére- ! Manen did tye get símen? " A voice stated seriously.
Stan drew his sword ready for combat in case if things goes south from here. Kyle seemed worried but relaxed when he recognised the voice on who he was talking too "Relax tweek lala maure ana n- scared emme didn't faica frighten tye"
Kyle waited for a bit till Tweek appeared from behind the tree and looked at Kyle before sighing softly"S-sorry Kyle didn't mean to scare you...Heard about the Dark Lord returning can't be to careful with news like this " he explained to him.
So the news did spread to Godows, it wasn't something that Kyle expected knowing Tweek did care for the protection of his people. Knowing the dark lord was once a loyal guard to the Grand wizard till that asshole banished him through space and time for what he had no idea but that Guard became corrupted with dark magic than he was banished yet again from a king far from Zaron to help them defeat the dark lord trapping them some deep into the hidden parts of the forest.
Than the King who saved Zaron suddenly vanished to never be seen again... It was quiet frightening but with the dark lord returning they hope that king will return too.
Kyle looked at Stan to which he put his sword away slowly once he realised that the threat was only Tweek, Good he didn't want to ruin there alliance if Stan did something stupid. He's on good terms with Tweek since he and Tweek both hate the grand wizard Cartman for many reasons.
"So what brings you here to Godows ?" Tweek asked and walked off.
Kyle smiled and nudge his horse sides to fallow Tweek to which the animal did as told, with Ike and Stan fallowing not far behind. "Well Ike wanted to learn a few tricks from Feldspar and from the looks of it he made a great teacher as you were hard to see in the shadows" he pointed out.
"Really? Well I'm not sure but he'll say yes. But thats not the only reason you're here is it?" Tweek asked him.
Kyle sighed and nodded"Yes sadly, it is about the Dark lord returning but it might be better when we get too Godows please. I tend to worry for Ike's safety so with him under the guidance of feldspar I think it'll benefit him during this time of need." he stated which was true. During this time and the rumours were spreading like wild fire for the return of the dark lord isn't something to be taken lightly of, who even knows where the dark lord is for all they know was that he was banished again but this time in a dark forest somewhere in Zaron wanting revenge.
"I get that....Feldspar say's I've been over reacting about this... but where we live is mostly forest...mainly our home actually....I wouldn't want to see it engulfed in shadows.....Mainly losing him again" Tweek looked down with a hint of sadness.
Kyle understood what Tweek meant, Feldspar fell into a trance like spell when the dark lord appeared clearly it did break Tweek's heart. He wouldn't want that to happen again.
Once through the clearling all 4 arrive to the area of Gowdows were the people tended to there tents but bowed upon seeing Kyle and Ike make there way through. Soon Kyle hopped off his horse and took the reins in hand as he walked with his horse with Ike and Stan fallowing behind Kyle. Godows was a like a small village really but almost kingdom like as well were everyone played there role gathering food and farming as well but also checking that no threat dared comes here to Godows.
"So where's Feldspar?" Stan asked Tweek clearly annoyed.
Kyle and Tweek looked at each other as rolled there eyes clearly annoyed" Feldspar is currently in a hunt with the others getting food for my people. He'll return shortly as for now I don't want to hear you two squabble over something so dumb understand" Tweek explained seriously.
But that was short lived when Feldspar arrived to Godows and a few hunters with dead boar and some rabbits from todays hunt but he froze upon seeing Stan and sighed "Hello Stanley boy" He grinned a bit teasing the knight.
"I will gut you...."Stan said pissed.
"No Stan and Feldspar hush you have to do something important" Tweek stated seriously with his arms crossed.
"What?! I went out hunting Honey "Feldspar groaned. It was a bit clear that he didn't want to do anything further than this but mainly to harass Stan since for some holy reason was his pride and joy which never fails when he riles up Stan.
"No this is a training session, you're gonna be a teacher too the prince's younger brother Ike. With the news about the dark lord returning it would be benefit to train him unless you still think i'm over-creating I wouldn't mind sending you out and have a chat with the grand wizard Cartman would you?" Tweek explained not wanting to hear any back talk from his boyfriend.
Feldspar looked at Tweek as he was about to say something but when the blond brought up Cartman yeah no he wasn't going to deal with that far lard of an ass. So he looked at Ike and rolled his eyes a bit "Okay come with me we start today no food or water. You'll need to learn how to steal, the Prince isn't going to help you either and neither is STANLEY." Feldspar explained to Ike but smirked when he empathise Stan's name.
Stan eye twitched at that but took in a deep breath and exhaled. "It's Stan...."
"Yeah yeah whatever come on kid. Better catch up or else I'll leave you in the forest to fend for yourself got it" Feldspar said and walked off leaving Ike behind.
Ike looked at Kyle as if for a second thought but quickly ran off to train with Feldspar. Kyle sighed as he watched his brother run off trying to catch up to Feldspar, clearly he hoped he made the right decision leaving Ike with Feldspar but quickly sighed and looked at Tweek "Can we talk Tweek like in private?" he asked him.
Stan frowned a bit at that and looked at Kyle"A-Are you still mad at me?" he asked Kyle since he was within ear shot of the two Prince's.
Kyle sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose"Yes and you stay outside of the tent this is a royal matter about the dark lord returning with plans being dealt with so wait outside of the tent." he said seriously and quickly grabbed Tweeks wrist and entered into some random tent since he wanted to talk about the dark lord yes but also the matter of his feelings with Stan as well.
"WHOA okay nhh...Kyle please wait, I understand you're worried about the dark lord returning too but is there something on you're mind? " Tweek asked Kyle when he notice his behaviour would chance around his knight would was with him ever since childhood.
Kyle looked down as he trembled a bit fuck he was going too cry. He winced a bit when Tweek held him close rubbing his back "Take you're time okay...." he said to Kyle in a calm manner. Kyle let out a small sob noise and held Tweek close not wanting to let go but it felt good once he calmed down from all the crying.
"Feeling better?" Tweek asked him.
Kyle slowly moved away from Tweek as he wiped away any tears from his eyes. "Y-Yeah but....I was gonna confess my feeling's for Stan..." he explained to Tweek so seemed a bit surprised but stilled listened to what he had to add on.
"Y-Yet before we left to arrive here...I-I...he...." Kyle took in a deep breath and rubbed his face to get his emotions through, he didn't want to tell Ike. Since Ike would seriously kill Stan if he ever told him. Once he gather his emotions he looked at Tweek and finally told him why he was so angry at Stan for.
"I saw him kissing the head-maid Wendy Testaburger before we arrived here..." Kyle explained seriously with heartache and venom.
