2 Awakening Of King

In a room, around 15 men surrounded a man who was sleeping in a king-size bed soundlessly like a baby.

The room looked like a luxurious bedroom of a very rich man since the walls, floors, and ceilings were made up of marbles of different colors and there were many carvings made up of gold, silver, and gems.

Other than that the room had many pieces of furniture made up of hardwood with soft cushions and mattresses or blankets made up of pure gold.

"What should we do..." One of the men spoke with a clear nervousness in his voice as he bit his nails.

"If he doesn't wake up today it's over for us..." Another one of them said as he slammed his hand against the pillar close by.

"Who the hell even suggested that we should get him checked by another priest from the main church branch!" Another of them yelled angrily.

After that, there was a sudden silence but then everyone there turned around to look at the man who gave the previous statement and in a single voice said:

"It was you!"

Hearing that the man forced a smile on his face and laughed nervously while saying "I-It was a mistake... of course, I am not to blame."

An argument broke out. They all started to yell and blame each other for the fact that the church knew about this because of them.

Suddenly a man walked inside the room and just by a glance from that man the room went silent again. They all backed away and made a path for the man to walk so he could reach the bed easily as they looked down and held their own hands together.

The man who walked inside was wearing a blue robe with some patterns made of gold thread forming designs around the neck and shoulder area. The design followed down from the middle of the robe where two points of the robe were connected.

The man looked like he was in his late sixties due to his white hair and beard but despite his white hair and beard, he did not have any wrinkles or any kind of old age disadvantage.

The man had a chubby body build and most of his facial features were hidden by a big white beard that reached down to his neck and was nearly touching the top of his chest. Other than that the most noticeable feature was his golden brown eyes and his skin color: Fair.

That man... was "Victor" the prime minister and the most important man of the kingdom followed by the king and equal to the priest of court.

Victor walked to the bed and sat on it with an anxious and worried face as he looked at the man who was sleeping on the bed.

The man was a handsome boy who looked like he was in his late teenage years due to his small height and average body build.

The sleeping man had a stunningly beautiful face that looked even better with his even beautiful golden hair that looked like a shining bright sun when the sunlight fell on it from the holes of the old-style ventilator.

The sleeping man had white fair skin and even though his face was super skinny and pale his strong facial features were still clear.

That man was Andrew, Andrew-Zion-Caesar, the king of the kingdom of Zion who was rumored to be in a state of coma after falling from the walls that surrounded the palace.

The rumor seemed to be indeed true...

"Your highness..." Victor said in a sad tone as he put his hand on Andrew's pale and skinny face "Please wake up... how could this old man live without you?" His eyes got teary once he said that but no tears fell from his eyes yet.

Victor was one of few people who actually cared about Andrew and the kingdom of Zion deeply from the heart and not just because of power.

Victor grabbed Andrew's hand and put his head on Andrew's hand as tears started to flow through his eyes. It was a soundless cry as he said:

"Please... if there is truly a god take my life but spare this child. Why does this child suffer a lot? What did this child do? Please wake up..."

The room went completely silent after that once again. No one dared to make any sound. It was so quiet that everyone could even hear their breaths.

Then suddenly, the silence was broken by a loud groan. Everyone's eyes widened at the sound and they quickly looked toward the source of the voice: Andrew...

Victor quickly looked up to look at Andrew. It was Andrew who was groaning indeed. Victor quickly wiped his tears and smiled happily as he yelled "Your highness!"

Followed by Victor, everyone in the room started to talk excitedly and hug each other happily "We are saved!" That was a common line in the conversation they were having.

"Shut up!"

The room went silent once again by the loud voice as they flinched and turned around towards the source of voice... that was once again Andrew.

Andrew sat up in bed with the help of Victor and looked at everyone with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Don't you guys know when someone is sleeping you keep quiet!"

He yelled at them angrily as he tried to get off the bed and stand still leaning against the wall. Since he just woke up from the coma he was still weak even though he was healed constantly by the holy power performed by the court priest.

Everyone, including Victor, was surprised by the way Andrew acted at the moment. Andrew, despite being king of Zion, was different from any king born into the royal family of Zion.

Andrew unlike any other was actually quite a nice, innocent, and good person but despite that he was also a coward. He felt bad for his people but as a coward, he could not stand against his own underlings (Ministers and even soldiers).

"Your highness," One of them said as they got closer to Andrew and Victor "Are you alr-" Before he could finish his question Andrew cut him off by saying "Shut up." with a cold voice that made everyone present there in the room shiver lightly.

"Who are you?" Asked Andrew but once he asked that question he suddenly had made a confused and venerable soft expression on his face.

"No, where am I? Most importantly, who am I?" Suddenly Andrew groaned and pulled his hand away from Victor, making him fall to the ground, on his knees.

"Ah!" Andrew screamed in pain and grabbed his head tightly because he felt extreme pain in his head. He felt like his head was tearing apart.

"S-Sire!" Victor said worriedly and sat on the ground next to Andrew to support him "Are you alright?!" Victor was not sure what was wrong but seeing him like this made him worry to death. His common sense and mind stopped working at the sight of his grandson like King being in such a painful state.

Ministers looked confused and looked at each other before they quickly pushed the court physician to the front saying "You fool! See what's wrong!"

But before the court physician could even get to them Andrew passed out from the extreme pain and laid on the floor unconscious.

Victor looked at the physician quickly and said "You fool! What were you doing!? and why does sire look so confused and ask such things!?"

Victor was a calm man who mostly smiled and laughed at such matters. Hardly anyone in the kingdom has seen him angry or yelling and so by the sudden yelling from Victor made everyone there tremble in fear, especially the physician, he started to shake uncontrollably and no words escape his mouth at that moment making Victor even angrier.

"Tell me! What's wrong with his royal highness!?" Victor yelled even louder as he hugged Andrew from the side.

Finally, the crowd came back to their senses once they heard Victor angrily again and tried to confront Victor with their words.

It actually even worked. They all calmed down the court physician so he could check Andrew's condition without his body shaking so much.

After some time everyone finally calmed down and the physician checked Andrew after everyone put Andrew back on the bed.

"Lord Victor," the Court Physician said as he let go of Andrew's hand and turned around to face them so he can tell everyone:

"I am not sure but it seems like since his highness hurt his head his brain was hurt as well making him lose his memory. It's common in this situation. It may be temporary but in the worst-case scenario it may even be permanent."

Hearing those words made Victor sigh lightly "At least... sire is alive." He said weakly before looking at Andrew once again from the corner of his life.

Suddenly one of them smiled and in excitement ended up whispering something to the man who was standing next to him.

"Hey... since he is awakened, how about we make him make one of us his heir? We were scared of losing our position because we did not have any heir but according to the law of the continent if necessary in this kind of situation the king could pass his authority to"

Before that man could finish his words he started to cough up and grabbed his throat "H-huh?" He gasped for air and got on his knees.

"I-I can't breathe! H-help..." A purple light was surrounding the man's neck as he was gasping and was tormenting with pain due to the fact he could not breathe at all.

Everyone there trembled in fear and looked away from the man as the helpless man was crawling around grabbing their feet and asking for help but no one came out to help that man.

Why?

That was because... it was the doing of a grand wizard... the grand wizard Victor!
