To the Capital, once again
Instead of chatting with his brother, Deon talked with Mikael throughout the 3-day journey back to the capital.
They stayed as honorable guests in nobles' estates along the way, eating delicious food and sleeping in luxurious beds. Deon, who was tired of such excessive hospitality, chose to stay inside the Medium and gave Mikael full control of his body. In those three days and two nights, Mikael experienced what it was like to be treated as royalty. It was very far from the dirt-poor life that he lived on his last years on Earth and this made him forget all the complaints that he had of Deon's shortcomings.
'Aahh… Choosing Deon really was the best decision I've ever made!'
And just like that, Mikael's three days of acting like a tourist ended with the Royal Castle's gates opening to allow their procession.
Waiting for Deon at the castle entrance was a visibly relieved King and Queen and an annoyed second prince.
