Esteban, Javier and Antonio had almost the same conversation with their parents who thought it was right to let their children test their luck. So they all met and headed to the palace.
“Do you think we will be accepted for the job?” Antonio asked.
“I don’t know about us, but you will be just what they ask for” said Esteban giggling.
“Aww…but it’s another thing that worries me” said Javier touching his jaw as he always did when he was thinking.
“What?” the other three asked.
“What will be the test that will lead the to the conclusion that we are capable enough to guard the king!”
“A very good question indeed” Esteban said.
“I guess they will make us fence with someone strong” Antonio thought.
“Maybe…it’s good that we know how so fence ourselves” said Michael.
“Yeah, it wasn’t for nothing all those nights of not sleeping learning how to use a sword. Thanks to Mr. Francisco.” Esteban said and smiled evilly.
“Yeah, I was the one who was caught all the time out at night s from the guards” Michael said and grimaced.
“Guys, we are here” Antonio said when they suddenly found themselves in front of an iron gate.
The four friends were coming here when they were kinds a lot. They used to play pretending to be aristocrats until a soldier came and told them to leave coz they were too noisy. They had never imagined going back there because the King had forbidden passing from there when his son was born and he was afraid of his security. And so it was, after so many years, they finally passed that gate. They all shivered and suddenly it became too cold. All four of them jumped when they heard someone calling them.
“Hey you…where are you going?” a guard asked them running to them.
“Excuse us, but we heard that the King is looking for guards and we thought we could test our luck” Antonio said.
“I see…follow me” the guard said and moved towards a door the led to the dungeons.
Everything there was wet, the walls full with mold and the echo of their footsteps was big. They went very far until they reached some stairs and they went to a big hall. All around them you could see lit up candles, and portraits of aristocrats and former Kings. On the floor was a huge red carpet with a bit gold on the edges and the ceiling was so high above your head you could barely see the small rubies in the delicate painting.
“Wait here” the guard said and moved towards a huge door on the right.
“Jus don’t tell me that the King himself will see us” Michael said with his mouth wide open from surprise.
“I don’t think so. Good Lord, what was that corridor we passed through? I shuddered while we were passing. Did you hear the mumblings that were audible from the near corridor?” Javier said.
“Yes indeed, and apart from mumblings I heard some screaming too. I think we passed the cells and the torturing rooms.” Esteban said.
“Come” the guard said and made the four of them jump again from surprise.
They went to the door that the guard had entered. They got in and the guard closed the door behind them. They all stared amazed to who was sitting at the chair in front of them.

Part 3
“Welcome, I’m Lady Francesca please, have a sit” said the woman who was sitting in the big chair behind the desk.
She was really beautiful, her hair velvet black color like the darkness in the forest at nights, curly and combed according to the style of the century. Her eyes were green and her smile even though beautiful it was also creepy. She was wearing a red dress.
“Thank you, we came to…” Antonio didn’t have enough time to finish his sentence because she cut him in the middle.
“I know very well the reason why you came here” said the Lady and looked at each of them separately.
“May I ask Miss? Will there be some kind of test by which you will test our skills?” Michael asked.
“Yes, there will be a test, excuse me for a minute please” she said and disappeared in a door behind her desk that was barely seen.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Sir, there are some men out there…” said Lady Francesca to the man behind the door as soon as she closed it behind her but he raised his hand making her stop.
“I heard everything my dear, no need to explain, and I believe we found just what we were looking for, they are young and surely with no experience in saving matters. Do you know what to do?” asked the man and gave to the Lady 100 pounds.
“Of course sir” she said, took the money and went back to the office.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
“Gentlemen, please, follow me, you are going to take the test in a few minutes” said Lady Francesca and went out of the room.
So they went all together in the huge, cold sometimes lit and sometimes dark halls of the palace, until they got to a small yard. There, was a soldier with two swords in his hand. He went close and gave the one to Michael. Without warning he attacked. The dueling kept for many minutes and Michael almost got hurt many times. If it were a real fighting he would have gotten killed. Finally Michael managed to win. The same kept on with the other 3, Esteban was the one who won more easily than the others, Javier won but thanks to his cleverness and not his very good ability in dueling and Antonio made the dueling to a fight with bare hands where he won.
“May I talk to you for a moment please?” said the Lady and all four of them walked gasping towards her.

Part 4th
Javier, Esteban, Michael and Antonio didn’t know what to expect for an answer. They of course had won the soldier which was what they had to do but it was difficult to understand from the Lady’s face what she was really going to say.
“So?” Esteban asked anxiously when Lady Francesca took a lot of time to answer.
“Half a minute, I have to…” she started saying when a servant came with an envelope in his hands. The Lady read the letter at once and with a glow in her eyes said, “I believe that you are the most suitable for protecting the King. Be tomorrow in the morning in the front yard. There will be someone there to tell you your duties.”
“Yes Miss, thank you very much, we will be here. Excuse us.” Michael said and they left the yard to find the exit, which they had no idea where it was.
“Dear Lord, what was that? I almost had a heart attack seeing her being so serious” Javier said.
“She seemed pretty beautiful to me” Antonio said absentmindedly searching for the exit.
“They all look beautiful to you” Esteban said.
“What can I say if they ARE?” Antonio tried to defend himself.
“Sure, sure” Esteban said just when he saw a girl passing the corridor.
“Maria…” Michael yelled to the girl.
“Hey bro’, what are you doing here? It’s forbidden to everyone to be here” she said and caught him by his hand to lead him away from that place.
“Then what were YOU doing there?” Antonio asked.
“I’ll tell you later, now come on before someone sees you” she said while looking carefully every hall they went through.
A few minutes later, without even really getting what happened they were outside the palace in the front yard.
“Maria, what’s going on?” Michael asked trying to look serious.
“Get serious” Maria said and he knew that he would never be able to look serious or concerned enough to anybody, especially his sister who knew him so well.
“Ok, now tell us what happened because I didn’t quite understand” Antonio said.
“You know each other?” Michael and Esteban asked in the same voice.
“Yes, we know each other but this isn’t what concerns us right now” Antonio said and turned back to face Maria again.
“He’s right. Do you want to know or not? I have a job to do and I’m already late” she said.
“Yes, tell us because from now on we will be here every day, and we need to know whatever is necessary.” Javier said.
“Really? So you’ll be the ones I’ll have to guide through the whole palace” Maria said.
“Yes, that would be us, now will you tell us or not?” Javier said starting to get nervous.
“Yes, I will tell you, well…”
