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
The first guard to get close sent a punch at Jeremiah’s head and Jeremiah caught it. He twisted the guard’s hand, spraining his wrist and the guard exclaimed in pain.Next, Jeremiah kicked the guard in the stomach, sending him flying towards Reginald and Kingston, skidding and stopping by their feet.The other nineteen guards didn’t pay attention to their comrade who was sent flying and continued to attack.They threw punches and kicks at Jeremiah but he easily evaded and parried them then took them down one by one. In one minute twenty strong and tall guards attacked Jeremiah and in that same minute, they were defeated, lying on the ground, grumbling and groaning in pain.“Is that all? I thought we were just getting started” Jeremiah said, the blood in his veins pumping with power and adrenaline.Jeremiah looked at the guards standing by the walls, and asked, “Who’s next?” and they all jolted.After seeing what he had done, none of them wanted to step forward and take up that chall
“So, my Lord, where should we start on our tour of the estate? The golf court behind the castle or the greenhouse to the east. We could also start at the planetarium if you’re interested in those types of things. Don’t tell Master Reginald that I told you this, but that is his favorite part of the estate,” Kingston asked as he and Jeremiah walked down the corridor that led to the throne room. “Why is that? Did he want to be an astronaut at one point in his life or something?” Jeremiah chuckled, but then he stopped when he saw the serious look on Kingston’s face.“What is it?” Jeremiah asked.“Master Reginald had that place built shortly after he thought that your mother and you had died in the accident he heard over the phone. He would go there every day and look up into space, trying to find where Lord Crimson could have come from, but he could never find it. I mean, who even knows if Lord Crimson was from space?” Kingston said, and Jeremiah grimaced.“What do you mean? I thought th
Since he wore the ring and his powers—the little that did— came back, Jeremiah’s vision had become far greater than normal.From the distance, he could perfectly see the people inside the two sports cars, and they were all young. They looked like they were about the age of just starting college.What were such young people doing on the estate? Jeremiah wondered. Jeremiah also heard rap music blasting through the speakers of the cars and making noise everywhere as they drove to the front of the castle.It was like they didn’t respect the environment they were in and looking at the servants' faces after the two cars appeared, Jeremiah could see that they too didn’t like it.Jeremiah also saw the servants carrying on with what they were doing like they were used to what was going on and couldn’t do anything about it, which made everything click to him.Only someone close to the King would be allowed to drive into the castle like that, so Jeremiah realized that the people on their way to
The group in front of Jeremiah and Lynette consisted of two guys and two girls, all barely escaping their teens.Immediately, the faces of both guys became one of amazement after getting a good look at Lynette, whose beauty eclipsed the girls they had come with. Who would have thought that they were going to see someone like her on their visit to the estate?Just then, one of the guys with blonde hair named Benson, licked his lip as his expression became lecherous toward Lynette. He grinned from ear to ear as he broke off from his group and stepped closer to Jeremiah and Lynette.“Who knew that a servant could look like you? Wow! I’m impressed,” Benson said as he slowly circled Lynette, his hand on his chin as he checked out the maid’s body with a lustful gaze.“What’s your name?” Benson asked Lynette from behind her.“Umm, Lynette. Lynette Ross,” Lynette answered hurriedly, looking and sounding uncomfortable at what Benson was doing.“Nice to meet you, Lynette. My name is Benson Cl
Who the hell was David?You know what? Jeremiah couldn't care less.“You’re free to do whatever you want,” Jeremiah said, then looked at Lynette, pushed Benson’s hand away again, and grabbed Lynette’s hand.“Let’s get out of here,” Jeremiah said, and Lynette nodded.Jeremiah started pulling the maid away, both of them going around Benson and heading for the door. “Excuse us,” Jeremiah said once he and Lynette got to Kristin, Brenda, and Desmond, who blocked their path and the two girls happily stepped to the side for them to go through, while Desmond, who wanted to impress Kristin, refused.“What does a servant like you think he’s doing acting all tough?! Benson wasn’t done talking and you just disrespected him like that. Do you think that the four of us are on the same level as a lowlife servant like you? Are you crazy?!” Desmond threatened.“Sure. Whatever.” Jeremiah rolled his eyes and then placed his hand on Desmond’s shoulder.“You can say whatever you like and call me whatever
“Jeremiah Garrick? Wait… Garrick? Isn’t that David’s and the king’s last name?” One of the guests behind David said, looking shocked.Everyone else thought about Jeremiah’s last name and had the same question in mind.“What’s going on here, David? Why does he bear the same name as you and the king? Are the two of you related or something?” Brenda asked.“Speaking of being related, I noticed that the two of them share some resemblance with one another, but is there more to it than both being good-looking? Are they actually related?” Kristin said.The others started murmuring, filling the corridor with confusion and questions. David frowned.“What nonsense are you lot talking about and why the hell are you all acting surprised and confused?! Do you think I would have talked the way I just did if this liar and I were actually related?! Are you guys daft or something?!” David asked, and his friends looked at each other guiltily.“David is right. We’ve been best friends for a long time no
