The Almighty General

prisoner?

But a single raise of King Cypher's finger shuts Troy up and he sits down.

“Take him to the royal guest room." The king tells Jax.

I pull my hand away from Jax's grip, he looks very angry. He turns away and he starts to lead me to the room. I walk Into it and I notice how beautiful and opulent it is.

“You can leave now." I say to Jax and he stares at me long and hard, he turns away and then he marches down the hallway and disappeared down a flight of stairs.

I take a seat in one of the couch, I didn't count till thirty before a knock came on my door.

I spring up in happiness hoping that the teleporting machine has been prepared and I'm going to go back to earth.

“Sir Hans, His Majesty, King Cypher is inviting you to have a royal dinner with them in the royal dinning hall. " the servant says.

" Tell him I appreciate but as I said earlier, I'll rather return back to earth sooner." I tell him and he bows, then he walks away.

I go to sit down once again and he knock returns.

“Yes?." I say answering the door. Standing there is not the servant, it's a pretty brunette with green eyes.

“Your meal sir." She says with a small bow. I take the tray from her and I thank her and she leaves.

***

I've been laying down watching the ceiling, waiting for a knock to come that the transportation machine has been prepared and now I can return back home but it's been silent.

I stand up from the bed, angry and half expecting an apology stating that they're sorry for the delay.

I walk out of the door, there's a guard standing in the door, immediately I walk out he gives me a stoic stare.

“I'm sorry sir but we've been instructed to keep you in your room." The man says, stretching out his hand and blocking me from walking out.

“What, who gave you such stupid instructions?." I asked him.

“King Cypher passed the instructions to commander Jax, and commander Jax passed the order, sir. "

" Get out of my way!. " I demand but the guard dosen't flinch.

I threw a punch to his throat, but my fist did more damage than intended. The man slid to the floor, gripping his throat in pain and struggling for breath.

I'm filled with shock and surprise, I stare at my fist and I don't even feel a thing.

Am I being held hostage here?. I asked myself running away from my room, towards the throne room.

I have a lot of questions to ask King Cypher, well thankfully he is there sitting on his throne and Jax is also there, standing in front of him.

I'm about to walk up to them, to ask them why they gave such orders and why I haven't been called to go to the transporting room but I hear the mention of my name, it made me stop in my tracks.

“About the guest sir, he's stubborn than we thought he would be." Jax says to the king. "what should we do about him?. " Jax continued.

I decide to walk back and step into the shadow to hide and listen to the both of them discuss about what they 'intend' to do with me as if I'm a toy.

“We can't kill him, that one is for sure we need him, if he's dead, then we're dead." King Cypher says and the gasp that escapes my throat almost gets me caught.

They hear it because they turn around and examine their surrounding but I'm hidden deep in the shadows.

“I have an idea." Jax tells the king.

“Tell me."

“We have already infected his system, but I think we need a bigger virus and this time not just a virus, we'll program his memories, delete some and add the ones we want. We'll infect the system to control his will and he'll have no other command except to help us win our war." Jax says to King Cypher.

He stands up from his throne and he laughs.

“What are you waiting for, get the chip, if he doesn't want to help us, he'll be our slave at our disposal!." King Cypher orders in a loud voice.

" He's in his room. He is being held in by a guard, we can gas his room up and make him fall into deep sleep and then we mess with his mind." Jax says smiling for the first time since I've seen him.

" No!. " I muttered under my breath which was a deadly mistake that would have cost me my life if I was a little more audible.

Jax hears this and he turns exactly to where I'm standing. I close my eyes, praying that he doesn't see me in my hiding spot, when he turns to look at the king again, I'm sure he doesn't see me, so I start to run away, towards the door so I'll go up the stairs and find a way to run away.

I'm not safe here, I need to get away from this palace. I can escape this palace now that they think I'm inside my room, and I'll find a place to hide and I'll figure out a way to return back to earth before I become a puppet.

I can't be a slave for these people, they might kill me in the end or my life would be filled with violent sufferings. I'll be their slave and I'll serve them.

“No, it can't happen, I am Hans Ronald, youngest and richest and the most handsome man on earth. Everybody would kill to be in my position... They'll kill me to be in my position!." I realize that because of my status, I'm in trouble, all because of my status.

If I was a pauper, I wouldn't have any enemies. I had trusted this people, they had corrupted my system and brought me here, Now they plan to use me as their war dog.

“Halt!." I hear someone scream behind me. I'm standing in the foot of the stairs and he's in the door, leading to the stair well.

In a split second, blood shoots through my veins like crazy and I find myself running up the stairs as Jax, who had caught me, shouts orders for his guards to hold me.

“Get that prisoner!." He orders... He called me a prisoner, this is a prison!.
