A couple of minutes later, the jet landed in the hangar and the trio, Jeremiah, Kingston, and his personal guard, Steven, went down. A security detail and a convoy far greater than the one that had picked Jeremiah from his apartment had already been waiting for their arrival.Everyone in the convoy greeted Kingston and when they were informed of who Jeremiah was, they went on their knees and did the usual greeting which Jeremiah accepted, and then told them to stand up.After that, they all entered the cars and drove away. The moment they got to the main roads and drove through populated areas, Jeremiah noticed that the people who saw the convoy all had happy expressions on their faces as they waved at the convoy. It was like they recognized the convoy, and who it belonged to, and were happy to see it pass by.That sight made Jeremiah realize how loved his family must be to garner such reactions, because even the president of a country wouldn’t get such a magnanimous amount of love
Elizabeth took Jeremiah upstairs.“Your room, young master,” Elizabeth said as she opened the door to Jeremiah’s room, and when he saw the inside, his eyes widened so much that they almost came out of their sockets. Jeremiah walked in first, then she followed, leaving the door open while Jeremiah looked in awe at how wonderful the room was. “This is only a temporary arrangement. If I had been informed before your arrival, I would have pulled out all the stops to make sure you got an even bigger and better room, but please manage this young master,” Elizabeth said, and Jeremiah looked at her with shock.“What is it, young master?” She asked.Jeremiah chuckled.“If you knew where I am coming from, you wouldn’t have said what you just did. This room is amazing” Jeremiah said, and the headmaid blushed. “By the way, my name is Jeremiah. If you’re going to keep calling me Young Master, then you should at least know my actual name too,” Jeremiah said, as he walked deeper into the room to
Inside the laundry room where Lynette was busy steaming the suit she was given to prepare for Jeremiah’s meeting with his father, a bunch of maids came in and approached her. There were four of them, and they all looked relieved like they had been searching for her.“Is it true?” One of the maids asked.“Is what true?” Lynette replied, not taking a second’s break to give the maids around her attention as her focus remained on the task she was given.“You know what we’re talking about. That’s stuff. Is that stuff true?” The second maid asked.Lynette groaned in confusion.“I honestly have no idea what any of you guys are talking about, so unless you go ahead and spit it out, I’m going to remain clueless” Lynette retorted.“Come on, Lynette. Don’t start playing dumb with us now. We really want to know” said one of the maids as she grabbed Lynette’s hand that held the steamer.Because Lynette couldn’t continue steaming the suit thanks to the maid who held her hand, she finally stopped w
“Of course, headmaid. I assure you that I’ll be done very soon” Lynette said as she resumed steaming the suit. “Okay,” Elizabeth replied, then she looked at Lynette from head to toe for a few seconds, observing the girl closely, and then she helped fix her hair behind her ear. “Head maid?” Lynette said, surprised by the older woman’s sudden physical contact.“You’re a very beautiful girl. You know that, don’t you?” Elizabeth said, and Lynnette thanked her for the compliment.“I think the young master has taken a liking to you,” Elizabeth said, and Lynette jolted.“He what?” She said hurriedly as she turned to the head maid. Elizabeth smiled after seeing the young maid’s reaction, then she took her hands behind her back and clasped them.“Looks like hearing that makes you happy,” Elizabeth said, and Lynette blushed. “I apologize for what I’m about to say, headmaid, but what girl wouldn’t be happy to hear that someone like the young master has taken an interest in them?” Lynette ask
“About that,” Jeremiah said, and the nurse groaned. [“What is it, mister Jeremiah?”] “The thing is that I’m very busy with a certain task I’m handling right now, and I don’t have the chance to go to the hospital like I promised just yet,” Jeremiah said. [“Hmm, and how long are you thinking of taking before you come?”] “Honestly, I don’t know for now. Just know that if the moment when I’m chanced ever comes up, I’ll be there to do what I said I would,” Jeremiah replied. [“Mister Jeremiah, I hope you know that with each day you delay this, the more money you’ll have to spend to keep your mother’s body here, and I remember hearing you on multiple occasions complain about how money is an issue for you. What’s your wife’s opinion on this? As a matter of fact, isn’t she available to come get her in your stead?”] “Mary and I are no longer together, so like I said, I don’t have anyone to get my mom’s body from the hospital for me. Even if I did, I want to be the one who does it,
Jeremiah looked at Lynette and asked her how he looked.“You look ravishing, young master” she replied with a warm smile.“I agree with what she said, young master, and I’m also sure that Master Reginald would be pleased by how you look,” Kingston said, and Jeremiah smirked.“Alright then,” Jeremiah said, then he left Lynette and walked over to Kingston, who had also entered the room but was standing by the doorway.“Shall we?” Jeremiah asked, and Kingston nodded.Both of them left Lynette in the room and went to meet Reginald wherever he was.After a couple of minutes of walking, Kingston and Jeremiah made it to a massive door with majestic designs on it. “My father is on the other side of that door, right?” Jeremiah asked Kingston.“Yes, young master. He’s been waiting patiently for this very moment and finally, it has come. Are you ready?” Kingston asked.Jeremiah cleared his throat, freed his body, and nodded.“Yes, I’m ready” he replied and Kingston smirked.Kingston knocked on
Jeremiah looked at Kingston and his father, who were both on their knees, and he couldn’t believe that they were actually doing that.Those were two men he had great respect for, but there they were, lowering themselves to him like they saw him as someone far better than themselves. Why was that?He looked at the bodyguards that were on both sides of the wall and saw how they too were on their knees, bowing their heads to him, chanting “All hail Lord Crimson!” and only one thing came to mind. Who was this Lord Crimson person?It looked like they were chanting the phrase to him as a form of praise/worship, so does that mean that he was the Lord Crimson person?But how?He was Jeremiah, an unemployed twenty-five-year-old soon-to-be-divorcee whose mother died of a heart attack minutes after waking up from years of being in a coma, who also just found out that his father was the king of an entire kingdom, so are they saying that there was more to him than that?Jeremiah was getting over
At the far ends of the world, news of a dragon king with the power to bring prosperity to his people or cause havoc to his enemies started going rampant and the other kings who felt threatened couldn’t let such an entity exit. They bounded together and using the combined power of their mages, who used black magic and human sacrifices to increase their powers exponentially, they created a spell to seal Crimson in a prison his body could never escape from. The spell worked and just before the imprisonment could be completed, Crimson told his adoptive son, who was the descendant of the retainers/priests who took care of him as an egg for many generations, that he was going to be reborn again as that was the only way to escape the imprisonment spell. To be exact, the way to break the spell was with something of greater power and the only thing of greater power in Crimson’s arsenal was the energy used to trigger his reincarnation.Since reincarnation was basically a godly power that man
