Rumors

Thinking through what Ren just told him Eric wondered who manipulated Ren's memory for him to think Henry betrayed him.

Was it once again Elina and May? But then, what would they gain? Isn't Ren living while knowing of the knowledge the he killed his best friend and the person who loved him more than anything to chose him over his own family more of a suffering than going around and turning Henry into the bad guy? Who could it have been?

Eric looked at Ren who was now calm and lying down on the bed beside him. Ren was staring at the ceiling with a blank expression. His eyes were red and swollen because of all the tears he shed. Sigh, now Eric was regretting ever bringing up that topic which resulted with Ren in tears.

"Are you okay Ren?" Eric said, lying down beside his Ren Ren as he took his hand. "Eric?"

"Yeah?"

"What about the make out session?" Eric turned to look at Ren who was looking at the ceiling with a blank expression. Looking like he did not just said what Eric heard. Eric was even beginning to doubt his own ears.

Was he going deaf? Or was he hearing things now?

"Ah, Zijie, do you know where Fred is?" Chris asked Zijie who was preparing breakfast. Bread with fried eggs, rice porridge and salad was what Zijie was making.

He placed down the salad bowel and turned to look at Chris. "No, I actually wanted to talk with Yui but he was also nowhere in the house" Zijie said, with a concern look. He was really worried about Yui and didn't know what to do.

"Damnnit!, just where the fuck are they?!!" Chris asked worriedly even though he knew Zijie didn't have the answer and he wasn't going to get any either.

Ground shaking, a loud scream was heard. It was very loud, making Chris and Zijie cover their ears as they couldn't stand it.

Hearing the scream, it was like someone was in pain. With that thought, the one most important person to them beside their families pop into their minds.

Immediately, Chris ran out, already forgetting the pain in his ears from the loud scream of the unknown. Zijie on the other hand removed the apron, threw it to God knows where and ran out like his butt was on fire.

They cared about nothing but the safety of their lovers. Sigh, lovers! I hope I get a date this week. No, this week has already ended, okay then next week.

Going on now,

The kingdom of Linna hasn't rested for days since the announcement of the king who was badly ill. The people were so worried about their king.

They hadn't had a good rest and were always praying for the well being of the king to the gods. But, their prayers weren't being answered. If only they knew how chaotic it was in the Heavens Realm.

It was all because of Elina. That fucking bitch.

"How is father doing?" Ken asked the doctor who just came out of the king's chamber. Ken, Carin, Sara, Main, Lidace and Clara were impatiently waiting for the doctor's answer. Main held Clara's hand in a comforted way. Normally, you can't just hold a queen's hand but the situation so she would be pardon, right?

Clara, tightened Main's hand. She was so scared of the information the doctor had.

The doctor on the other hand wished he wasn't the one to deliver this news. He was scared out of his mind because of the rumors going on that Prince Ken had every doctor who didn't bring good news after examining the king killed.

He didn't want to died. After all, he still hadn't dated a girl before and he was still a virgin.

"I asked you a question doctor" Ken with a scary irritated look on his face. Here he was so worried about his father and the doctor who was healthy and safe enough to daydream in front of him. If it wasn't because he needed information, he would have stab the man to death.

Snapping out of his daydream, the man stammered, "I....I'm sorry your Highness"

"So what's the news?"

"I'm sorry your Highness, there's nothing I can do and the king is getting worst" The poor doctor replied in fear. Tears streaming down, Clara said, "Oh no" and hugged Main. Main began to comfort her by stroking her back.

"A...and he keeps mentioning a name, R....

" Ren" Ken answered. He would love to search for Ren and bring him here but he couldn't leave his mother alone and even the kingdom and lastly his father. They all needed him.

And even if he went to find Ren, he wouldn't be able to know where to start. He heard from Jack and Kelvin that, Ren was taken out of town by the prince of Cranbelle and some friends because his identity was revealed.

And anyway, Ren didn't need any of this. He didn't have to know any of this situation because he already had enough problems on his plate with the guilds, churches, councils, dark guilds, the black market, powerful criminals, armies of some kingdoms, hell even the armies in this kingdom were after him.

This just wasn't the time.

He sighed as he came out of his thoughts. Looking at the doctor angrily, he issued a command. "Carin, Sara, show the doctor out"

Thinking they were going to murder him, the doctor immediately countered, "Is okay, your Highness, I can show myself out" he said, sweating like he just ran 300 laps or something.

"I said show the doctor out" Ken repeated. He was already losing the divided half of patients he had.

"Yes your Highness" Both Carin and Sara said together before they both took each arm of the doctor out. Thinking they were going to kill him, the doctor screamed and begged for mercy but Ken showed him none.

"What now your Highness?" Lidace asked, "I'll think of another way" Ken replied, looking at Lidace with a sad expression before looking at his poor mother who was crying in Main's arms with Main comforting her.

*******

Reaching the opened entrance door, Carin and Sara threw the doctor out. Sara threw his bag which had the equipments for the examination at him. The bag had fallen down while they were bringing him and she took it.

"Take it and get out of here" Carin announced to the poor man. The doctor was stunned. Why were they letting him go? Weren't they going to kill him?

Right! They planned to let him go and then on his way they would encounter him again and kill him. Yes! That was the great plan. Then he also needed to do something

"I'm not leaving" he said. He planned on staying there so their plan would fail. What a joker.

"Suit yourself" Carin said. They went back into the castle and closed the entrance door behind them, leaving the poor doctor who mistook their actions.

There was no way they were going to kill him. Prince Ken wasn't that unreasonable or heartless. The rumors he heard was just a hater of the El Davis Family spreading them.
