Chapter 7
Daichi kingdom
(Crown Prince Raymon apartment)
Raymon was bored to death and he wore a frown of irritation as loud music, women giggling, and smoking from cigarettes filled his room. This was his mother's doing and he was sick of telling her that he wasn't interested in any woman if she wasn't the person he had been seeing in his dreams.
13 years ago, he had a dream where he was playing with a young, pretty girl in a garden. She had aqua blue eyes and a little tattoo that had wings which he mistook for a butterfly. Raymon told his parents about his dream and they tried finding the girl with the description Raymon gave them. He even drew the dream image on a board but they couldn't find the girl in the whole underground world. Her image was shared with all security heads, kings, and even servants but she didn't seem to exist.
He started having the dream more frequently than usual but no one took him seriously anymore as they couldn't find her. Occasionally he'd have the same dream but with a slight difference every time, the young girl in his dream was also growing into a beautiful lad,y and the tattoo he mistook for a butterfly looked like a dragon.
His room was filled with drawings of this girl and ever since then he had been trying to find her by himself but she truly didn't exist in his world. He even tried looking for her in the human world but she wasn't there.
Raymon could only bury himself in thought, he was really tired.
"Everybody out!!"
The ladies turned their heads towards the door where the voice came from.
"Leave! Now!!" Zayn ordered the second time with a stern face.
" Greetings Prince Zayn" the ladies greeted together before rushing out.
"Seems you were enjoying yourself, crown prince," Zayn said jokingly before laughing at his brother's grim face
"Thank goodness you bailed me out" Raymon replied before jumping down from his high chair.
"So you have no intentions of being with another woman if it's not her?" Zayn asked while pointing to the portrait.
Raymon couldn't answer, he had so much faith in her existence but now he wasn't sure anymore.
"Why are you here?" He asked Zayn.
"I need gold, lots of it," he replied.
Raymon's territory had more gold in the whole kingdom. Raymon furrowed his brow, what was his kid brother up to this time?
On seeing Raymon's expression, Zayn got scared of being turned down so he decided to negotiate.
"Help me with the gold so I can achieve my aim and in return, I'd help you find her" Zayn bargained
Zayn has good intuition, if he equally believed she was alive, then she was truly alive somewhere.
"Fine" Raymon snapped his fingers and three chests of gold appeared. "Is it enough?" He asked
"Should be for nowThankss, brother. Zayn replied before whooshing away.
The human world
Zayn and Rafael sold some bars of gold for millions of dollars. They went to get a penthouse, a phone, and some clothes. At the automobile shop, Zayn bought the latest Lamborghini Aventador and the most expensive power bike.
Both Rafael and the car dealer were shocked.
"Just how rich is Zayn?" Rafael couldn't help but envy him. Now he knows one of the reasons his father wants to take over the throne of Daichi from King Yohan.
Zayn got his driving license and he drove away to his apartment in the car while Rafael drove the bike. Rafael was stunned at how quickly Zayn's apartment was fixed to a royalty taste. He tried to use a smile to cover his angry face but it wasn't working so he had to leave the apartment as soon as he got there.
At the McLoy's residence
Kylie was packing her guitar and keyboard for the night's gig at the Nurway underground train station. She performs different songs at night for extra income not because her parents were broke but because it is something she derives pleasure in doing.
Beatrice wasn't happy with the decision but over time she had come to accept it, Nathan had no issue with it from the start.
They had called a cab driver who'd take Kylie and Vera to the station and bring them back after the show.
"Bye Mom, bye Dad," Kylie said as she was about to enter the Take
"Take care my love," Beatrice said while she and Nathan waved to the girls.
"Something is going to happen tonight," Vera said seriously.
"Huh? What was that?" Kylie asked
"I don't know….
"Calm down bestie, we'd just perform and come home, nothing would happen" Kylie assured.
They got to the station and quickly started arranging their instruments. Kylie was a regular performer here so she was popular, everyone taking the night train looked forward to seeing her perform before leaving.
**Zayn's penthouse
Zayn suddenly got bored, he had never lived alone in the twenty years of his existence and now here he was alone because of a girl. He decided to take a ride in his car, as he drove out facing the highway, he saw an overhead sign; the Nurway underground train station and he swayed his steering to the station's direction.
*At the station
Kylie's voice was heard as she performed her song with so much passion. Suddenly the wind became chilly and it kept blowing her hair to her face as if trying to cover it. She shut her eyes as she enjoyed the music, and her audience came closer to drop money into her guitar bag as a sign of appreciation.
Finally, her song ended and there was a loud shout of happiness. Kylie couldn't help but smile broadly before opening her eyes. The first figure she saw shocked her to the core, it was Zayn.
"What is he doing here?" She thought to herself as she saw him walk closer to her. He dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out a bundle of 100-dollar notes before putting it into the guitar bag. Vera was also shocked to see him ." Does he like my best friend?"
She couldn't help but giggle at the thought.
"You have an amazing voice," Zayn said to Kylie.
"Thank you" she replied blushing. She wondered why she was only shy whenever Zayn was around but she was bold in the presence of other boys. The two of them kept smiling at each other till someone ran into their middle and pushed Kylie to the ground before running off with the guitar bag that had all the money Kylie made from the
