"Ahh!"Moving slightly on the bed, he groaned a little. Idris touched his head and moved to his right, he felt his eyes were so heavy that he couldn't open them."My whole body feels like it has been reborn." He murmured, rubbing his head gently."You finally woke up, Master. I'm so happy to see you again, I thought you would sleep a little more." Hearing the sound talking in his head, Idris suddenly opened his eyes and he had a slight headache. Touching his head, he grumbled again and he looked around. As he noticed the familiar surroundings he uttered, "Oh, I am in my room. But why do I feel like that I woke up from death...""Well, you woke up after ten days staying in a coma, so you might be feeling weird. It will be alright after you take some rest." Mana told him.Upon hearing Mana, Idris's eyes widened in shock. "Wait, did you say that I was in a coma for ten days?""Yes.""Whole ten days?""Yes, master. After your near-death experience, maybe your body went into shock or it j
"Your royal highness, why did you...""Don't get up, yet. You are sick after all." Sitting next to the bed, Lionel gave him a hand. Idris barely woke up two days ago and as soon as the news came out, Lionel wanted to see him. Though Idris postponed it for a day but that was the limit. Lionel came to see him without informing him beforehand. "I heard you woke up two days ago, why didn't you inform me? I was really so worried about you.""Ahh, I apologise. Everyone was busy with taking care of me so they couldn't inform you. Please don't take it to heart." Idris smiled at him, that sincere smile of his surprised him somehow. Lionel expected he would be very angry at him but there he was, showing no such response at all.Lionel smiled back at him and asked, "So, how are you feeling now?""Well, a little better. Though my head hurts a little.""Hmm..." Lionel kept looking at him, observing him from closer and Idris was surprised. "What happened? Your royal highness.""Idris, did the phy
"Your Grace, we have brought her." Kian reported.Idris didn't spare him a gaze, and continued working. Two weeks have passed since he recovered completely and since then he had been working hard, also he focused on practising magic."Fine, you can leave now.""Yes, Your Grace."As Kian was gone, Idris put down what he was working on. Keeping a cool face, he picked up another piece of paper as he asked, "What is your name?""Heily, Your Grace.""Heily, do you know what you are here for?"The woman's soft tone of voice was not that hard to hear for Idris but the little sounds she made annoyed him. She continuously moved her hands and since she wore ornaments in them, the sounds were like a rhythm. "Yes, my Lord.""Alright, you may tell me what you know.""Umm, before that. Won't you look at me at least once?" As the woman requested in a soft tone of voice, Idris hit the table angrily. No woman could get close to him, he never permitted that. Even Cathy who was allowed to come and go d
"Wait, so you mean that the crown prince is a demonic beast?""Yes.""And he wants to rule the whole Kieran that's why he is waiting for a perfect time to execute his plan." "Oh no, then he will destroy the world.""Yes, he will. That's why he is planning to kill the real son of the emperor. Because there can't be two heirs of Oregano as per the rules. Until now, Lionel Arshelan has been the only heir who was supposed to sit on the throne but now since the true heir of Oregano appeared in the scene, he is thinking of how to get rid of him.""Oh, my. Then who is this real son? His life is in danger."Seeing how Sasha was worrying about the person she didn't even know about, Reivya chuckled."Why are you laughing? Did I say something funny?""No, but don't you really know who it is?"Not knowing it for real, Sasha nodded her head in denial and Reivya answered, "It's Idris Beaufort, the true heir of Emperor Randolph Arshelan.""What?" Unable to believe what she just heard, Sasha just st
The serene music, people chattering, women's laughing and men talking. In the huge banquet hall, people were busy with entertainment, some were watching the new people who just came to the banquet."Your Grace, you look so handsome today." Kian with a wide open mouth looked at Idris. Unlike he usually stayed, Idris had a new hairstyle though it was not his plan but someone else's to cut his hair like that."Thank you, you look great as well.""Wow, thank you for the compliment." Kian asserted. When those two stood still, another one appeared among them from out of nowhere. "Tana, how do I look?"Idris nodded his head in annoyance and Kian looked at him with admiration. "Wow, Sir Willem. You look the most handsome here. I'm sure all the women will go crazy once they...""You said I looked handsome and you are saying that this brat looks handsome too?" Idris narrowed his brows as he skipped a gaze at Willem.Kian found himself in trouble, he scratched his cheek and uttered feeling unea
"Of course, we can meet on the weekend as well. Though I have a busy schedule but for you, I can make time. Let's go on a date..."Kian was busy talking to a woman he met in the banquet, as he saw Cathy in a vulnerable state he was hella worried. "Lady Cathy, what happened? Why do you look like this?""Idris... He...""What happened to boss? Where is he?" Kian looked in the direction she just came from but sadly, he couldn't see him and he got more tensed."Idris... Idris jumped from the building. In... In front of my eyes, he...""What? Where did he jump? Wait, take me there."Kian ran after Cathy, going to the exact location from where Idris jumped awhile ago Kian kept searching around but he couldn't even smell Idris's cologne. "What happened? Tell me from the beginning.""We... We were..."* * *"Huff!""Huff!"Everywhere his gaze fell on, Idris could see only dark. His breath hitched and his legs were literally trembling. Idris didn't know for how long he had been running but hi
* Two months later *"Young Master, Duke Idris has arrived."Taking a sip in the glass of wine, Lionel looked at the butler who had his eyes fixated on the floor. The butler who worked for him, looked strangely calm yet the uneasiness and fear he was having couldn't escape Lionel's gazes. He leaned a little backwards in his chair and questioned in a gentle tone of voice, "How about my guest?""She is waiting for the call in the guest room."Lionel stared at the nearest building and nodded his head slightly, "Alright, it's time for a great show. Get him here.""Yes, Young Master."'The Serenity Palace', was known as the emperor of Oregano, Randolph Arshelan's palace. Rumours had it that the emperor was too infatuated with the palace for some reason so he wouldn't let anyone not even his son in the palace. Seated on his horse, Idris looked at the magnificent building in the distance. His eyes fell on the board on which the words 'Serenity Palace' were carved beautifully. His hatred was
"What do you want to say? Just say it. Miss Alpin." Lia moved forward a little, her hands trembling as she asked, "Are you really married?""Yes." Idris firmly answered."But you were supposed to wait for me. You..." Lia held onto the corner of her gown as she found it hard for the words to come out of her mouth, "You should have married me. We...""Miss Alpin... I have never said that I would marry you.""No, you...""I still remember what I told you that day. I told you, Miss Alpin that you will find someone better. I was not worthy of your care." Idris voiced out stiffly. Since the last time he met Lia, he thought that was their last meeting. Though at first he felt bad to use her, but he hoped she would meet someone better and not get involved in the world's conspiracy but..."It's... It should not be like this. I have been waiting for you for so long, Idris. I have left everything and focused on only getting to meet you again. I have done all I could to come this far, then why.
