7 What do you think of him

" Bring me that boy " , the king orders a servant . The servant goes and takes Shou to the king.

Shou arrive after a few minutes and he greets the king. People in the room starts to gossip about him. They didn't like the fact that their Princess brought a commoner into the castle.

" Father , as I said , Shou doesn't remember about his past. And he is my friend also my saviour. I actually cured his wounds in the abyss but he has already repaid me by giving me food. But saving someone who has no home is a tradition in our country , isn't it? " Mei Shu says to her father , the king , hoping he would agree and let Shou stay in the castle.

The king stays quiet for a while and thinks about the situation and Mei Shu's explaination. After thinking for a while , he says , " Okay . I will agree and let him stay in the castle because he's already arrived here once and also he saved my daughter's life. There is something I need to tell right now. Boy , as I said you can stay here but there's one thing. If you don't want to live here anymore , then you can leave . But we will have to delete your memories . That's our tradition. If not then you will have to live here forever even if you recover your memories. "

Shou listens to every words the king said carefully and he nodded and agreed to his conditions. He says , " Your Majesty , sorry if I sound a little rude but as a king , you might have also known this. You couldn't find me in this country so naturally it's obvious that I am a citizen from another country. Means I am an enemy. Are you sure you don't have any problems with it? " . Shou asks the king politely and says in a serious tone.

The king's face become a little frown but he keeps his image to normal again and takes a deep breath. And he answers to Shou , " Boy , it seems that you are not that simple to have this kind of brain . You are right. I have already heard that my daughter brought a boy with unknown background as soon as you two came out of the abyss. So I have already investigated about you in my country but there was no information about you . It means you are not from my country as you just said. No matter who you are or where you are from , once you have stepped onto my country , you mustn't go outside without my permission. "

Shou nods and asks the king to excuse him. The king orders some maids to prepare a room for him. Shou leaves first.

After he leaves , the king asks Mei Shu to come into his room and meet him privately. Mei Shu actually knows the reason why her father calls her to talk privately.

Inside the king's bedroom , there wasn't anyone and the king also ordered the guards to leave them alone for some minutes so that they can talk freely.

" Father , do you want to talk about Shou? " Mei Shu asks her father .

The king sighs and continues to speak , " Mei'er , I am your father and clearly know everything about you including your feelings. But I want to make sure . Tell me what do you think of that boy , Shou? " .
