Episode 1: Every Lifetime Before The Present (Part II)

"SOLARIS, YOU GET BACK HERE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF, YOUNG MAN!"

The old man chasing me? That's my father, the current king of the Light Kingdom. He is a lovable ruler to his people, he would almost always show mercy.

Almost.

"GET BACK HERE AND REPENT," the king shouts out angerly halfway across the hall.

"Never-! OW! H-Huh?"

The person I bumped into is Silver Crescent. He is one of my retainers and a Wolfkin, a race of humans who have the power to shapeshift into wolves. He has a pretty handsome face with his short beautiful silver hair and glimmering grey eyes but...

"Just where do you think your going, Master Sol~, Silver asks teasingly as he holds my shoulder.

"J-Just to my room is all... if you could just let go my shoulder-"

"But Master, the King looks to wanna CHAT with you~. Don't you wanna CHAT with your father, M-A-S-T-E-R~, " he says giving out an evil aura around himself as he holds on to me tighter.

This sadistic jerk sold me out! I'm so dead! About 5 minutes later of trying to escape, I accepted my fate and "talked" to my father.

"I'm waiting, " he said with a scowling face.

"It's just a small harmless prank, it can be fixed easily. Besides it isn't that bad, father."

The King's veins began to show in irritation about to snap indefinitely, "It isn't that bad, you say? 'Isn't bad'?! HOW IN FANTASIA IS REPLACING MY HAIR CLEANSER WITH REMOVER POTION 'NOT SO BAD'?!"

"I mean, at least you won't have to do your hair everyday-."

"UNDO THIS! NOW, " he screamed.

"Y-YES SIR!"

I immediately ran out of the room to rush downstairs to the basement. There, I went to see my friend, Roselina Hazelnut. She is also one of my retainers, and a witch doctor, a race of women who study the dark arts and healing. She's sweet, with her long bright scarlet hair and green emerald eyes. Maybe a stubborn klutz, but very sweet.

"Oh, hello Master Sol, " Roselina greeted me with a smile, "How'd the remover potion go?"

"It went well... maybe a little 'too' well. Do you have the hair growth potion ready?"

"Yup, just finished testing it, so it's in the clear, " she said assuring me, "You came at the perfect time too. Any other time, and you'd probably see this place as a hairy mess."

"Probably, but you've gotten better at potions, I'm sure you'll be an awesome witch. Thanks for all of this Roselina and for staying in the castle, it probably be less fun here.

She pats my head as she looks to me as if she were glowing with glee, "I should be thanking you, honestly. You opened my mind to possibles I never thought to ever make back at my hometown. I'm glad to be here, even for your little harmless schemes."

I took the potion and left to go back to see my father. When I finished giving the hair growth to him, I wasn't allowed to eat meals at the dining hall today as punishment, which hurts me more than others think. I later get a knock at my bedroom door.

"Come in."

"M-Master Solaris it's me. Y-Your father told me you weren't allowed to eat the food at the dining hall. S-So I made food for you."

The cute timid man giving me food is Lazarus Crimson. He is also one of my retainers, and a vampire, a race of bloodsuckers with very powerful dark magic. He loves cooking so I let him have the freedom to use my kitchen as he pleases, since all I could really cook is sweets and I often get banned from the dining room for my harmless shenanigans. He's a good man, just very shy and wary a lot. Well not around me or my other retainers, just everyone else in the castle, including the King. If he weren't always a nervous wreck, his short brown hair and blood red eyes would charm anyone he wanted.

"Thanks Lazarus, I always appreciate your cooking."

"Y-Your welcome, M-Master Sol, " he said excitedly, "B-By the way, L-Lady Luna is on her way too. W-Would you like me to help you prepare for her arrival?"

"Yes of course. That would be greatly appreciated, thank you."

As I get myself ready while looking in the mirror, I look away... like I detest what I look like. I was a girl for 7 lifetimes, so even though I'm almost 14 right now and the Light Kingdom thinks of me as a kind prince who does harmless pranks out of boredom, but I'm a girl deep down in a man's body with all these past memories. Sometimes it's hard to accept this body. Heck, I was blind at one point and even those memories bothered me, knowing I was a girl in that past life too. The only one who I've ever told my femininity to was-.

"Sol, I'm here."

Princess Luna, the third daughter of the Dark Kingdom, a kingdom full of demons... and my best friend. The only girl who knows how girly I actually am. The only one who understands me. Because she too is like me... kinda. I never told her about my dark secret of my previous lifetimes. She never mentioned having memories of past lives, only that she thinks of herself as a guy than an actual girl sometimes. Like me. So we have these play dates together just to be ourselves. So she was understanding of the whole getting use to the body we were born in thing. I always felt comfortable and open around her. It was always pleasing to see her short black raven hair and her bright yellow demon eyes. Lazarus somewhat knows of our play dates, he just doesn't know what our play dates are about.

"I'm ready, Lu. Lazarus, please escort yourself out while me and Lu spend some time alone together."

A-As you wish, M-Master Sol, " Lazarus said as he leaves.

As the door closes, Luna took out the stuff in her basket which was her sewing kit and dress planners. I take out a secret compartment under my bed as I bring out a bunch of different types of silks and fabrics.

"It's your turn of play date, so we'll be doing the sewing today, " Luna said with a smile, "Would you like to model for the dress making, Sol?

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course I'd love to!"

We begin to make the dress, as she models it and we design it further and further until it became a beautiful and elegant velvet blue dress.

"Aaaaand done, " she said as she finished the last of the stitching, "Do you like it?"

"Like it? I love it, Lu! You're amazing!"

Silver knocks at the door, "May I come in Master?"

Both of us were in a panic as I began to put away all the silks and fabrics on the floor, while Luna puts away her sewing kit. Realizing he was about to open the door, Luna holds the door to keep it shut, while I change out of the dress.

"I'm... I'm still mad at you from earlier, don't come in!"

"Are you alright, Master, " he said kinda concerned now, "You don't usually act this... different. I apologize from what happened with you and the King. Just please open the door."

"N-No! I... um... I can't!"

Silver was more confused than concerned, "Why not?"

"Because me and Lu are-!"

"Lady Luna's with you? But why would she-, " he said but paused for a moment of realization of something completely misunderstood, "Oh, I see. Well, I'll come back in 30 minutes. Just be finished there when I get back, it's urgent. Also, I'm going to speak with your father about celebrating your 'special' engagement with Lady Luna~."

Wait what?! I finally got out of the dress and both of us rushed to Silver as soon as we heard the last sentence.

"YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG!!!"

Yup... this is my life. But despite my whole shenanigans and secrets, I really love them. My father. My retainers. Even my best friend. One day I'll tell about my previous lifetimes.

For now, I just wanna stay the way things are now and enjoy life, before that time comes..
