“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
“What’s this?” Jeremiah asked as he stared at the ring in the box. “This, my Lord, is the power ring” Reginald replied. “The power ring? What’s that?” Jeremiah asked. “You see, after Lord Crimson imbued his essence into the first king to begin his reincarnation cycle, he focused all his power into one point and forged this ring so that one day when he finally returned, his power would be safely stored and ready to be taken back. Once you wear this, your power will gradually return to you. Your strength, speed, mysticism, and finally, your ability to transform into your original self, the mighty dragon who rules above all. The more of your power that you absorb from this ring the blacker it gets and when everything has been completely absorbed, the ring will break apart as you become whole again,” Reginald said, and Jeremiah groaned. He crossed his arms and looked at the ring, then he looked at his father, who believed everything he had just said even though it sounded extremely ri
It was love at first sight, and he knew that she was who he wanted to make his queen. She didn’t have the wealth of his soon-to-be bride or the class or the reputation and power of her family, but he didn’t care about any of that.He wanted her and nothing was going to stand in his way. Not even his wedding. Having a tough decision to make, Reginald thought about what he should do for days, and the closer it got to his wedding, the more stressed he became because he wanted to fulfill his father’s wishes, but he knew that he would regret it for the rest of his life if he let Lauretta go.With that, the decision was made.Reginald canceled the wedding and everyone was left dumbfounded as to why he did that. The father of the lady he was to marry was furious. He tried to challenge Reginald’s decision, but that was a stupid mistake because you do not challenge the king. Reginald had every right to use his power to destroy the man and everything he had ever worked for, but he decided t
After hearing the truth about his family’s past, and everything that led up to him being in his current situation, from Reginald, Jeremiah’s eyes widened. “You can turn around and leave this place right now if that’s what you want. After all, you are our Lord, and none of us can stop you from doing whatever you desire, but as your subject and, most importantly, your father, I suggest that you stay and take up your rightful place, my Lord” Reginald said then he went on his knees and stretched the box with the ring in it to Jeremiah. “Whatever you decide shall be respected, my Lord,” Reginald said and then bowed his head.Jeremiah looked at everyone in the room and how they were all bowing their heads to him then he looked at Reginald who seemed very earnest. Jeremiah looked at the ring inside the box and asked “You said that wearing this ring would bring back my powers, right?”“Yes, my Lord” Reginald replied. Jeremiah groaned.“Okay then,” Jeremiah said then he reached for the rin
