3. Levi's dream (2)

"I've tried looking again, your majesty but I still can't see her or where she is, just like the last time I tried. it's like something is blocking her. Whenever I tried, I come up blank." Miron, explained. He was the royal mage and seer that King Levi had told about his dreams right from the start.

The king had summoned him to the throne room after his meeting with some ministers of the court. But he hadn't expected the sight that met his eyes. The King looked terrible, his eyes still bloodshot.

" Then what am I supposed to do, Miron? This dreams are driving me crazy, it doesn't only happens at night anymore. I just fucking dream about her in the middle of the damn day! and whenever I close my eyes I keep seeing that brutal image of her. It's driving me nuts! You're the seer here, do something! " Levi shouted in frustration. He thought consulting Miron would at least give him a little direction on what to do. He didn't expect the old mage to keep giving him the same excuse.

" Please calm down your majesty. Do you remember the last time I told you to look for her? Did you , your majesty?"

Levi looked at him as if he was stupid " Of course, I did. I have a lot of men out there that has been looking for her for almost two years now. Ever since the first dream, I've expanded all my resources to look for her but she's still nowhere to be found! Sometimes I even wonder whether she's real or not or she's just in my dreams " Levi rubbed his temple in frustration. He can feel the beginning of a headache coming.

" That girl is real, your majesty. She was in your dreams for a reason and the fact that I couldn't even see her proved she isn't ordinary. Since we can't find her, then all we have to do is wait " Miron replied.

" Wait? wait for what, Miron? "

" Wait for her, your majesty. Since you're both destined to meet eventually, we only have to wait. Eventually, she'll come to you " Miron replied calmly.

" Ah, right. Maybe after she's dead" Levi sneered. "Are you even listening to me, Miron? " Levi looked at the old man like he has lost his mind. " I just told you the way I saw her in my dream today. Her condition was horrible to say in the least. And you know what's new? I could fucking feel her pains this time as if it was my own and the sheer magnitude of it was terrifying. I couldn't breathe, it felt like someone was squeezing my heart ". Levi explained, looking pained as he remembered the feeling.

He still couldn't believe there's someone out there somewhere, monstrous enough to inflicting that level of pain on another.

" Whoever she is, she's dying, you hear me? She's dieing but instead of you to think of something, you're here telling me to wait for her. I mean how can someone who's in so much pain, who couldn't even stand properly on her own two feets escape and come to me? That's absolutely ridiculous. I think you're getting old, Miron "

Miron could feel the king's frustration." I'm sorry your, majesty. But I know you're going to meet her and soon. The fact that you could feel her pain already proved you have a connection to her and a very important one it much be. I don't know when or how but you're going to meet her soon " Miron replied with a faraway look in his face. Levi knew when he looked like that he was concentrating on something.

" What do you see, Miron? How can you be so sure?"

" I don't see anything but I know she's coming. And when she does, you have to get her. No matter where you find her or who owns her now, you have to get her. You can't let her go. I don't know why but It feels really important that you get her. She's important to you somehow." replied Miron.

" I'll take her even if you don't tell me to. She's plagued my dreams long enough. I just hope she isn't dead before she's found " he decided to believe the mage for the time being seeing as his predictions have never been wrong before.

Miron has been working for the royal family of Azuran Kingdom for a very long time from before his father's reign till the throne was handed over to him after his twenty six years old coming of age ceremony which is the maturity age in Midgard.

Levi was the only platinum dragon and the most powerful among the kings of Midgard. He inherited the bloodline of his ancestor, the dragon god's bloodline, which is also the most purest bloodline in Midgard.

He was know to be a fierce, cold and emotionless king who deals cruelly and mercilessly with his enemies which is why the Azuran Kingdom is one of the most powerful and feared in Midgard.

Levi has always been calm and collected no matter what situation he find himself. As if nothing could faze him. This is probably the first time Miron has seen him so agitated.

" Alright, your majesty. I think your father is looking for you " Miron said and bowed after studying the king for a few minutes " I'll be taking my leave now "

" My father? " Levi looked at the old man who only answered with a smile. Right at that moment, jasper walked into the throne room to tell him his father has inviting him to lunch.

Miron bowed to the king and left the throne room.

Levi knew what the lunch will be about. His father hadn't bother him about the matter for some time now in which he was grateful for. He'd been trying his best to avoid his father for the past few weeks now. But he should have known his father wouldn't give up so easily. With his already unstable emotion and mental health, he just hope he'll have enough patience to deal with his father at lunch.

*********

" So any reports about the person we're looking for? " Levi asked jasper as they walked together on his way to join his father for lunch at the twilight pavilion . With the rest of his personal body guards trailing behind them.

He'd gone back to his bedchamber to bath and change his clothes so his father won't notice his worn and haggard look but his eyes was still a little bit red.

" No, your majesty. We still haven't found her. Which is why I'm begging to think she might not be in this realm or continent. With the description you've provide us, it shouldn't have been so difficult to locate her if she was here. Blue hair is uncommon in this continent " Jasper replied. He's beginning to doubt wether the girl even exit at all but of course, he wouldn't say that out loud to the already agitated king. He could feel that Levi 's on edge and could be set off at the slightest push.

" Useless morons!" The king cursed under his breath. " It's been so long already, almost two years and they still couldn't find shit about her. Not even a single direction as to where she is. What do I need them all for then, if they're so incompetent? " He boomed in irritation.

The fact that the dream bothered him so much and even makes him feel some weird emotions that he couldn't quite place yet was beginning to get on his nerves.

" I'm really sorry, your majesty. I'll force them to try harder and produce results as fast as possible "

Jasper quickly bowed in fear of the Kings wrath. He'd been with him long enough to understand when he's not in a good mood. And right now the king is definitely not in a good mood.

" You'd better " Levi replied. He knew jasper was trying already but he couldn't help but vent some of his frustrations on him. " Tell them I'm giving them one more month to find her. If there's still no progress after that then they shouldn't bother to report back to me " he said and continue walking rapidly away while jasper and the rest of the guards quickly followed behind him.

Lord Dagan was sitting behind his desk in his study room sorting out some documents when he heard a knock on the door.

" Come in " he answered in a deep voice. He's the lord of the blaze clan of Orania Kingdom and the man who has been subjecting Lilura to torture ever since he knew about her secret.

Ralf, his right hand man entered and walked over to him " This is what you asked for, m'lord " he said and placed the document on the table. " M'lord? Next week, the yearly royal auction will be taking place again in the capital of Azuran Kingdom. My sources said there are going to be lots of good stuffs to be auctioned this year."

Dagan finally looked up. " Okay. Have you reserved a number for me then?" he asked raising his left brow that has a scar running across it, adding more to his harsh and intimidating look.
