“Your Highness, you called for me.”
“Oh, yes, have a seat please.”
He sit in front of me while I’m having my coffee break. “Can we go to the town of Ashmere, I need to buy something for my parent’s.”
“Yes, sure, your highness. Since it’s your relaxation day, you can go and oversee the town. Besides, your second mission will be conducted tomorrow.”
“Alright. I prepare first. Wait for me at the carriage.”
“As you wish, your highness.”
He stood up and left. After finished drinking my coffee, I stood up and prepare my things to bring at the town.
I and Mr. Rolando will be the one to go to the town. I would not stay long. I just want to buy a present for my parent’s. I really miss them.
“Your Highness, take care.”
“I will Heneral Melchor.” He nodded.
“I’ll see you later.”
“All of you, take care. I’ll be back.”
They bow their heads and said in chorus. “Yes, your highness.”
Ashmire town is 5 kilometers away from the Mount of Olive. It’s the smallest town in the Kingdom of Akkadian. The town is known for it’s magnificent jewelries, handicrafts and tourist attraction the Nile Sea.
“Please let me borrow time. I want to look back. I want to see what’s the reason behind this tragedy. Please do help me.”
“Your highness, we’re here. You’re having a dream.”
I woke up full of sweat. I feel nervous. Why I’m having such a dream?
“Are you okay your highness?”
“I’m okay. We can go now.”
“Alright, your highness. I just hope that is not a bad dream.”
I didn’t respond Mr. Rolando. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. I feel anxious about it.
“The Ashmire town is the same as before or because it’s been too long since I last went here.”
“Still your highness, it’s the same, the only different is…….. the Ashmire town is even more beautiful compare before.”
“You’re right.”
“It’s good your highness that you’re in disguise, you can roam around freely.”
“Yeah. Plus the fact that it has a fine weather today.”
I faced Mr. Rolando and gave him a money. “Here Mr. Rolando buy food and drinks. It’s my present for my people. When we went back to Mount Olive, let’s eat together.”
“Yes, your highness.”
“One more thing, let’s meet at the carriage once you’re done and I’m done.” He nodded and left.
I smile when I saw a beautiful bracelet. This one is for my mother. Mother looks good in wearing this. I pay it and went to the other store. I caught the attention of a sculpture horse. It’s beautiful. My father loves to ride a horse. My father loves collection sculpture especially if the design is a horse. Without further ado, I bought it.
Because of great happiness, I didn’t know that I bumped to someone. Good thing the bracelet and the sculpture horse didn’t fall. Truly an amazing day.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.” The old woman looked at me like she knew me. Then her face turned into sad. I don’t know why.
Suddenly she hold my hand and spoke to me, “You better be quick to become a King before it’s too late.”
“What?” I don’t know what to say. She just leave me without saying goodbye and explain to me what’s going on.
I stood for almost 3 minutes. Why? Who’s that woman? Why she’s mysterious? How did she know me? I directly back to the carriage and told Mr. Rolando that we’re heading back to Mount Olive.
I feel uneasy. I think something bad might happened. The old woman. Who is she? Why she said those words? I feel bothered about it.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
"Yes, Mr. Rolando."
"Your Highness, if you need someone to talk to, I'm here willing to listen. I just sense that you're not fine."
"My apology, Mr. Rolando, I can handle it. I'm fine. Thank you for the concern."
I closed my eyes and spoke again. "But, if I need help, surely I'll call you."
"Alright, your highness. Surely, I'll be there for you."
I didn't response. I just only looked at the window and see the beautiful scenery outside. It gave me a relief and I feel at peace.
Once I'm done with my missions, I'll search that mysterious woman. I think she knows about my future. Maybe she's a seer.
Whatever it is. I will look for her. No matter what it takes, I will find her.
I saw a paper coming. It landed on my lap. I smiled. A message coming from Eleazar.
"I'm sorry, your highness that I don't have any message before regarding about Eurylice and Khalie. Ivorie had a difficulty in collecting information about them. There were times that Ivorie will gave up since no information recorded about Eurylice in our school while Khalie as well is no information recorded about her origin. But, thanks for the help of her cousin, we found out who they are. In exchange for helping us, you need to have a picture with her, she's a fan of yours. Not only that, we found out as well that you have a fan's club and she is the president. Although you have many fan's club, but this one is different since it has the highest fan base and the campus queen is furious since she has a rival now."
I laughed. I couldn't help it. Very good Eleazar and Ivorie. I don't have a problem with that. Taking a picture with her is easy. Besides, she’s Khalie’s cousin.
"To add, you should move fast your highness. You should finished your mission as soon as possible. Your Khalie have many suitor's."
"What? No way." I'm gonna smacked them all.
"But don't worry your highness, she's not entertaining them."
Very good. Khalie is mine only. Only mine.
"Your Khalie is amazing your highness if you only knew. You will know soon once your back."
I know she is amazing. That's why I love her. But wait, it means, Khalie and Eurylice are one.
"See you soonest, your highness. Love from your best friend Eleazar and your favorite pet Ivorie."
What? That's all. They haven't tell me if they are one. Maybe, Khalie and Eurylice are one.Right? Damn it.
I know for sure that the two laughed at me. Eleazar and Ivorie loves to tease me. They gonna pay for it.
I smiled at the thought that Khalie and Eurylice are one. But why is it she hide it from me? Why she changed her name?
"Baby, you should gave me a valid reasons once I ask you about your identity. Hmmmm... "
