Call me Rian

As the sun raised, I was woken up by a strange sound. It was almost like an explosion of little iron grains hitting the marble floor in the hall, just passed my room. I immediately jumped out of the bed and looked down the hall. There was the maid that showed me around the mansion just the other day. She was picking from the floor what seemed to be marbles, steel marbles, the kind of marbles that kids in my world were playing whit. I got myself there and started picking up the marbles. They were made out of a strange metal-like product, they were a bit heavier than my world's marbles, but they had the same texture and they were colored in many ways, looking just like normal marbles.

"Hey, Chop, you don't have to help me." She said, looking as if she was unhappy that I came to help.

"Nonsense, we should help each other every time we can. We are all living together after all. We should try to get along." I said whit my authoritative voice, feeling as I was home again.

"Anyway, you should go to the garden. His Highness is waiting for you, he just didn't want to wake you up. So he told me to direct you to the garden whenever you are awake."

He didn't want to wake me up? Why would that be? Oh well, we'll see.

The garden was beautiful this morning. The roses were in full bloom even though it is already autumn. Today is the 28 of September, but the roses full bloom and the light that was cast upon the garden, along with the sweet scent in the air reminded me of a spring day.

The King is standing in the middle of the garden, looking like he was asleep. I approached him carefully, so if he really was asleep I wouldn't wake him up, but as I got closer he suddenly turned his head around, now facing me.

"Oh, your Highness, did I wake you up. I am so sorry."

"No Chop, I wasn't asleep at all. I was just looking at the sky. A rainbow just appeared."

"Oh, I understand my lord. Anyway, I heard that you had something to talk whit me."

"Oh, yes, it is regarding the reason I want an orphan to come to serve me."

Now is the moment of truth.

"You see since I left all my duties as a king to my son I felt a little lonely. Of course, I had my made, my butler, and the two guards at the gate, but this place still felt a little empty sometimes. At first, I wanted to get my daughter here whit me, but her mother wouldn't allow it. You see, her mother is a commoner from the eastern part of the country, a woman whit who I had an affair 16 years ago. So back to our subject. Your assignment is to keep me company, fallow me everywhere, chat whit me, play whit me, this kind of stuff"

"So he basically wants a pet." I mumbled to myself.

"What did you said, Chop?"

"N...Nothing, your highness"

"Ah, one more thing, you should call me Rian instead of " Your highness", understood?"

"Yes, my lord"

"No, it's Rian! Rian! Rian for the love of God, call me Rian!"

How did I end up in this situation? I did this to me whit my own hands.
