Orchid Villa

[It's morning now. Rex's maid Shasha comes to wake him up as usual.]

Shasha slowly opened the curtains to allow the sunlight inside.

"Good morning master, time to wake up."

Rex seemed to be murmuring in his sleep.

Shasha smiled at him and said, "Oh master...please wake up. The Sun is on the head."

She tries to wake him by first removing the blanket, making him sit, and making him open his eyes by washing them with water.

Her trick works as usual and Rex finally wakes up.

"Good morning Shasha...", he says this while still yawning.

Shasha wishes him again, "Good morning master."

Rex started to recall everything from the dream.

"Yesterday night I had a strange dream, but it was awesome. It would have been good if that dream was true! But I'm not sure. Because I met the Guardian Of Emblems. Well, this was weird but the weirdest out of all was when she said that she was my slave. I mean how can she be..? Never mind If I think any further I might become crazy and mad... It's better to forget, for now, I'll think about it later...."

It seemed as if he didn't believe that. He didn't even bother to check if something had changed. All he did was look at the time.

Immediately after looking at the clock, he asks, "What's the matter Shasha? Why did you wake me 30 mins early today?"

Shasha was confused and answered hesitantly, "Oh! That is because His Highness asked me to, he wanted to talk something with you."

"Father...?? Ok, Shasha I'll come right away."

*** {Rex arrives where King Alex was sitting (In the garden)}***

Rex put on a fake smile and wished, "Good Morning Father, I was told that you wanted to ask me something??"

King Alex noticed Rex and immediately stood up from the bench on which he was sitting.

He said, "Yes Rex... I was going to send you somewhere far."

Rex questioned while fully knowing everything, "Far.... but why.... did I do something to upset father...??"

King Alex replied almost instantly saying, "Oh! No, not at all. I was thinking that it would be good if you were to go to a picnic."

"A picnic....???!!"

"Yes. So that's why I am gifting you the Orchid Villa. It is where you will be staying for 2 months from now.", he said with a smile that seemed as if it was a fake one.

"Father I know you are sad because of yesterday's performance. You want to cheer me up so you are sending me to Orchid Villa. Don't worry father, I swear that in these 2 months I'll train a lot, and by the time I come back I will become so strong that you will be proud of me and will praise me.", was what he decided in his mind.

Rex immediately after thinking a bit said, "Very well father I will go there."

"Good. Then you must leave by today because it will take at least 2 days to reach there."

Rex nodded his head and agreed, "Ok father, as you wish, but can Julia also come with me."

King Alex thought, "If I don't allow Julia to go with him, he will think that he has made me upset and he will think this to be his punishment instead of a picnic... No, I have to send Julia if she stays with him, he will remain cheerful and not get gloomy and can be happy again. I hope that what I am thinking should become true."

King Alex after thinking said, "Ya why not, she can go with you. There are no issues."

"Thank you, father. I will immediately go and inform Julia."
