"So, is the emperor really going to put you in the position?"Letting out a sigh of defeat, Idris nodded his head. "I tried talking to him, I told him I don't need it but he did not listen. He insisted on doing it. He said that he will go back to the palace, talk to Lionel and others then make arrangements for me to take over the throne officially.""I can understand, he met his real son after all these years. Of course, he will want to give you everything that you have lost but the problem here is..."Interrupting Willem, he added in a heavy tone of voice, "The problem is my father does not know how dangerous Lionel is. Since he just woke up and is still in the recovery phase, I don't want him to be stressed so I did not tell him about Lionel's true identity but it's dangerous. I don't want him to know where the emperor is staying right now.""What is the emperor doing now?""He is waiting for Lionel to come... He did not want to wait longer so I could only shift him to my palace. He
"I have been wanting to kill you for a long time now, you have got such good luck that every time you are saved. But today, I promise you. You will die a painful death in my hand." Lionel confidently looked at his sword with which he had planned to stab him."Que el trueno caiga sobre tu cabeza.""Oh, come on. Do not try anything funny. You are going to die anyway." Idris closed his eyes and Lionel laughed again, thinking he was scared of him. There was barely an inch of distance between the two, taking a look at his sword as Lionel raised his hand to stab him suddenly the cloud started roaring.A thunderstorm that nobody ever saw in their lives befallen on the palace. Lionel took a step back and looked around, "What the heck is happening?"In no time, the guards were thrown at the wall and they fell on their stomach, screaming in pain. In utter disbelief, Lionel stared at Idris who stood still with closed eyes and in anger, as he moved forward a sudden coldness surrounded him."What
* Six months later *Knock!No response. Knock again!No response. "Uhmm, Your Majesty. Maybe, Madam is reading books again. When she's too much into the book, she is delved into it she might not hear us." The head maid, Bora asserted so in a humble manner."Alright. I want to see my wife, you can leave.""Yes, sir."Standing outside the door, Idris waited for a moment before opening the door from outside. Inside the room, many ancient furniture was kept, it was decorated beautifully, a perfect room for a newlywed couple.He looked around in search of his wife and his eyes fixated on the sofa where she was laying on her stomach, her eyes glued to the book in her hand."Is the book that interesting? Are you having fun?"Upon hearing the voice, she looked at him and she jumped to hug him. "Idris, you are back.""I thought I was getting abandoned again." Idris voiced, with a pout."I'm sorry, I was... You know... too focused on the book so I did not hear the calling. Hehe." Cathy looke
* A week later *"Madam, how about this dress? Would you like to try this one?""Wow, it looks so pretty. Yes, I want to try it. Do you think I will look good?" Cathy shyly looked at the dress that the shop owner showed her."Of course, you will look beautiful in it.""Thank you."Cathy was busy looking at the dresses, some maids were helping her while some were busy flattering her. "The palace has become more lively since she has been staying here, isn't it?" Walking to him, Willem gave him a pat on the shoulder and Idris's gaze shifted to him."Were you not busy working on the new project? Why are you here?" In a cold tone of voice, Idris questioned him."You don't seem happy that I'm here."Noticing how Idris was looking at him like he would beat the hell out of him anytime, Willem cleared his throat. "Yeah, I'm busy because of the project but I am here because... Lady Cathy has invited me to the evening's party.""You could have said no.""I don't want to."Not only Willem, anyon
On a cold winter morning, when leaves were falling from the Japanese maple tree in the backyard, Angus Bekham was busy making coffee for himself in the spacious kitchen of the Beckham Residence. With a satisfying smile plastered on his face, Angus gently put down the coffee cup on the table. Though there was a crew of maids in the Beckham Residence, Angus always made his own breakfast. Trying to cut a fruit as it dropped on the floor, he leaned down to get it. For a moment Angus felt someone was near him and his nostrils took in a perfume that he felt rather familiar with. Thinking of it as nothing much, he went on searching for the fruit. "Ahh!" Suddenly he screamed in pain as the hot coffee splashed on his hand, giving him a burning sensation. "Oh, sir. I'm so sorry, I didn't see you were on the floor." The maid uttered so but her voice sounded rather unapologetic. Before Angus could stand up, the maid quickly stood on his finger and he hissed in pain. Getting always treated
The birds were chirping in the near distance when the gentle breeze kissed the bridge of his nose. Something felt definitely off but at the same time, the faint sound of the breaking of new blooms after rainfall felt real.Lying on the soft floor that felt like a bed made of grasses, Angus woke up with a severe headache. As he opened his eyes slowly, the sudden dazzling light made him more dizzy."Where is this place? Where am I?" That was the first question that popped up in his head. Angus looked around in a daze, everything felt so new to him."As far as I can remember... Mathew pushed me from the rooftop, I was falling down then... Then a voice spoke in my head and a hologram uhmm, something like a three-dimensional image popped up out of nowhere then I... I can't remember anything else." Angus pulled his hair and looked around. It was such a beautiful garden, with different types of beautiful flowers and plants around."Lord Idris, I finally found you. Oh my, why did you come out
'Arghhh! I don't know until when it will be going like this. Geez!' Idris stared at the ground grumpily when someone pulled his hand.Holding his hand, a blue eyed girl with brown hair looked so delighted. She smiled tearfully and said sincerely, "I'm so happy you are fine and breathing. Brother, let's play together.""I don't want to." Idris voiced bluntly.The 10 year old girl grabbed his hand and looked at him with puppy eyes, "Why not? Are you not feeling well?""I'm feeling much better but I don't feel like playing." He answered.Shasha Beaufort, Idris's sister, was a pretty, kind-hearted and smart girl. She looked a little like Merle but a little like the Duke of Montana. At first, Idris was happy to see her but since she started talking so much and jumping around him, nagging him to play with her he was getting pissed rather.Shasha sat down on the bed quietly, her eyes filled with sadness, "Everyday, you say we should play together. We don't have any friends to play with sinc
Some voices sounded rather clear in his ears when his eyes were still closed. Idris slightly moved on the bed and as he opened his eyes he was stunned.All of a sudden Adam jumped on him and hugged him tight, almost choking him up, "My Lord, you are awake... Why did you do it? Why?" Hearing him, Idris gulped. He thought they caught him sneaking out until Adam said the next line, "You were lying on the ground when I found you. I was scared. Why didn't you ask me to go with you if you wanted to pick a flower?"'Seems I haven't gotten caught yet. Thankfully.'"I wanted to take a look at the flowers haha. Don't cry now, I'm fine. It sounds funny." He let go of his breath and calmed down."Fine. I won't cry but if you want to pick a flower then please tell me first ok? I'll pick it up for my Lord.""Of course."'I surely remember that there was something strange that pushed me away. But what was it? Such a strong force I felt back then...'After the last time, Idris thought to try it agai
