The Next Prince, Chapter 33 pg4
“If that's the case, we probably have to find a coach who is as good as the national team to train us, where should we find a good one?” Mira asks, quickly adjusting her mood.
“We already have one, sitting right here.”
“Nong Nin, you mean...”
“Yes... Khun Charan will come as our coach.”
Chakri has always wondered how he could trust someone like Charan, who has never held a sword.
At first, when Young Prince Khanin said he would have Khun Charan as the training instructor, the young butler even refused head-on confrontation when trust became uncertain. In the end, Charan had to wield his sword to prove himself.
In the afternoon, Young Prince Khanin challenged everyone on the team to compete against Charan to prove a point. At first, the young butler thought that winning at least two out of five rounds would be considered impressive. Since they had to compete continuously against everyone, it was quite challenging. However, in the end, the leader of the Phitakthewa family managed to win by scoring points rapidly. He defeated five people in a very short period of time.
Okay, I admit, he is skilled... very skilled, so skilled that it's confusing!
He's so skilled that it raises questions about why he kept it hidden all this time and made the butler, who's already stressed enough, feel insecure, as if he's growing older and shorter every day.
Charan's skills were evident to everyone on the team. No one dares to challenge him anymore. A close comrade and the team's new coach, he is someone that everyone sees and admires.
The team's planning is well-organized and smooth. If there's any conflict, it probably arises from...
“Chakri, you need to train your physique more than this.”
The intense sound grew louder as Chakri was panting heavily while running on the track in the second round. The bulky-bodied butler slowly approached, glancing at the runners nearby with an envious look.
“Khun Charan... I can't... It's too much. Can I go back to being a butler?” Chakri turned to answer Charan. He wondered what he was doing here.
At this time of the morning, he was supposed to prepare breakfast for Young Prince Khun in his private dining room, not this.
He was being pushed into a fitness training program, developing leg muscles and improving breathing for a reason...
He was the substitute of the Atsawathewathin team.
Yes... that's right. But it was appointed based on Young Prince Khun's wishes.
“Can you help me, Mister Butler?” Young Prince Khanin, who followed closely behind, spoke cheerfully, but the listeners wanted to burst into tears.
Chakri had to face this mission because he lost the game earlier and had to prove...
“No, Mister Butler. You've become our substitute now. We need to be confident that we can defeat the other teams without the need for substitutes. But you need to run to be prepared. Okay? Run just one more lap, and it'll be enough.” Young Prince Khanin, who ran alongside, spoke with a joyful tone, but the listeners wanted to cry even more.
Although they had been through this for several consecutive days, his body still wasn't used to it. It didn't match the gradual improvement seen in other team members, especially Charan, the leader of the Phitakthewa family, which made him realize that his past observations were wrong!
The other side had a well-built physique, tall and agile. Why did they ever think that Charan wouldn't be skilled with a sword?
He was boiled until he was completely exhausted.
But it was worth it to feel this sense of pride. At least everything was starting to take shape now. Chakri felt a sense of fulfillment when he thought about the report he had to write and submit to the Sovereign King this week regarding Young Prince Khanin.
From what was written, stating that there was concern about this team... the wording in the record had to be revised.
Little Young Prince's gaze turned to the other team members who were still running with determination. Then, Ben's eyes turned back to Young Prince, who had stopped running, and he walked hesitantly to find someone else.
“Are you tired?”
“A little bit.”
“Phii, here's some water. Take a sip, not too much or you'll choke.” The Phitakthewa leader handed a drink bottle to a younger person, and both whispered and chatted intimately.
Then they walked away, hand in hand, leaving Chakri standing there...
“Your-Highness... Young Prince, wait for me!”
Report sent to the Sovereign-King.
‘The training went well. Everyone worked hard and is well-prepared for the competition... For the first week, Khun Charan pushed the team so hard that it felt like military training, my Lord... Even the Young Prince seemed more attentive to the competition, with Khun Charan by his side. But after this job is done, I will probably have to request a long vacation from the royal position, as the body of this humble butler is showing signs of fatigue. End of report.’
From Chakri.
Towards the end of the week, with the scorching heat exhausting Khanin, after an intense week of training together, everyone suggested taking some time off to relax together.
It was a way to strengthen their relationships... Itti said so after both the Vetis and Mira helped uncover the details provided by Jirat, confirming that the information from the other side was true in every aspect, and there was no deception involved. The atmosphere between them seemed to relax.
The beautiful bartender offered to organize a small private party for all of them, along with the duty of serving drinks to Itti and Jae. Charan, on the other hand, didn't mind as he wanted everyone to rest after being pushed hard for a week.
The social gathering party to relax was held at the right-wing palace, within a closed reception room to prevent outsiders from entering and disturbing them. They were granted permission by the Sovereign-King to have a fullfledged fun time. Therefore, there was no need to worry.
