15 You Are the Chosen One

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

YOUR MAJESTY! YOUR MAJESTY! HE IS WAKING UP! GET THE IMPERIAL DOCTOR AGAIN!'

Xavier slowly opened his eyes and squinted as he furrowed his eyebrows together. A rush of pain began to run through his head.

"ARGH!" Xavier groaned as he held his head, laying down on his bed.

The imperial doctor rushed in and ran towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty, what are your symptoms? Can you tell me?"questioned the imperial doctor.

"My… my head, again… argh! The pain, it's… too strong!" cried Xavier.

"Close the curtains! The bright light from the thunder must be triggering his pain! Turn off some of the candles to avoid too much light!" commanded the imperial doctor.

The maids quickly closed the curtains and turned off a few candles.

"I will bring some herbal medicine, and then.."

"Bring… bring the… child.." Xavier commanded as he struggled to speak.

Hansol and Ezra looked at each other in shock and confusion.

"Umm... Your Majesty, by...child, you mean… the princess?" Hansol questioned.

"ARGH! THAT CHILD FROM THE TOWER! BRING HER HERE NOW!" Xavier yelled.

Ezra ran out the door following the emperor's orders.

"Make sure the princess is well dressed. Have Marina make last adjustments if need be." Hansol said in Ezra's mind.

"But it's been four days, and it's 4 in the morning! The princess is asleep! It will take at least an hour to get the princess ready!"

"Fine! Just bring her here as she is!"

Ezra slammed the door of the tower and ran up to the second floor.

"Marina! Wake up! It is an imperial emergency!" Yelled Ezra.

Marina jumped out of bed, frightened.

" What is it, Lord Ezra?! What seems to be the emergency?!" Marina panicked.

"I need the princess now! Show me to her room immediately!" Ezra commanded.

Marina quickly took Ezra to the princess room.

"I promise you, I will keep the princess safe. You have my word." Ezra assured Marina as he gently picked up the princess.

He quickly rode the horseback to the imperial palace.

Huh? Why does it feel like I am moving? Is this a dream? Who… who is hugging me? What is going on? Uncle? What?

My eyes grew twice in size when I realized we were on a moving horse.

"WAHHH" I screamed.

"It's okay, Princess! It's alright! Shhh shhh… we are almost there. I promise everything will be okay!" Ezra said in a nervous tone.

Where are you taking me?! What is going on!? Why do I always have to fear for my life when I am with these men?!

Ezra quickly got off and patted my back to assure me we made it safe.

I can feel him running inside a large building. This looks like the imperial palace. I have not been in it that many times, but it has high-quality designs and expensive decorations. I can only assume I am right.

"Here! The princess is here!" Ezra said excitedly.

"Quick! Bring that chair and place it near the emperor!" ordered Hansol.

What the fuck is going on here, and why is it so dim in here?! What kind of … why is the trashman on the bed looking like he got hit by a bus? Is he on his deathbed? Why are there so many people in here?! WHY IS EVERYONE STARING AT ME?!

"Be on your best behavior, princess. Your life depends on it. His majesty requested your presence." Hansol commanded in my mind.

They sat me on a chair, facing the trashman. The trashman slowly turned his head and met my direction. He slowly opened his eyes. The man was covered in sweat and looked like he was in a hell of pain. I am not sure what happened, but I can only assume he is dying.

He began to stare at me and me at him.

His breathing subsided by the minute, and he stopped sweating. He continued to stare at me until his breathing became back to normal.

What the f… What was that about? I am confused. Did this man almost die? What just happened?

"What… a miracle! The princess… made the emperor feel better! I have never seen anything like it!"stated the imperial doctor with joy.

Hansol and Ezra sighed in relief.

"So… you are the chosen one… you… of all imperial members... you… are the chosen one." Whispered Xavier.

Hansol's eyes grew large when he heard the emperor.

What did you say? The chosen what?
