CHAPTER 14: Prepare for what may come

/ Inside the palace. The Prince of Luxamina stands amid a dozen knights. The queen speaks

Beatrice: And If he isn't the prince then who is he? Or what is he?

Aria: Maybe a very powerful witch? Or something new? We're not sure.

Vlad Cogred: One thing is sure no one would ever survivor that sea monster.

/ Vlad Cogred turns to look at Prince Haruna

Vlad: Even the prince of Luxamina

Chris: But I can feel him. It's him

Vlad: Believe me, You didn't saw what I saw. It's was impossible to escape from that thing.

/ Aria touches you by arm and whispers

Aria: Maybe he is making you believe that.

/ When you fix Prince Haruna you see that he is looking at the butler. The butler looks nervous

Haruna: I know a way to prove that.

/ He starts walking towards the throne chair and the knights follow him by keeping pointing the weapons at him. When he gets closer to the queen. Vlad who stands in front of the queen puts a sword on his throat.

Vlad: You're close enough to the queen. One more step and you lose your head.

Haruna: Relax, it's not even the queen I was approaching.

/ He points at Galvert

Haruna: It's the Spolanian who interest me

/ Everyone turns to look at Galvert who is sweating. And the princess speaks

Princess: Yes, that's it. The Spolanias have their manner to know every civils from their empires.

/ Before even the princess finishes her sentence, Galvert already bows.

Galvert: Welcome to Skiburg, Heir throne of Luxamina.

/ Vlad Cogred puts away his sword from Prince Haruna's throat awkwardly

Vlad Cogred: Oh, that's awkward. I'm sorry your Highness.

/ and Vlad Cogred bows too. And everyone around does the same except the queen and the princess.

Haruna: That one is done.

/ He walks over you and extends his hands like he's asking you something then it hit you that it's time to give him the bracelet. You put one out slowly.

Haruna: Where is the other one?

Aria: Wait, there is another one?

Chris: Yes, I'm sorry about that. You remembered what you said before I leave.

Haruna: I said "Don't get distracted"

Chris: Well...

Haruna: No. Don't tell me that...

Chris: It's terrible I know. I'm sorry.

Haruna: And this one. Where was it?

Chris: Ah, that one was easy to get it. It was in Victoria's bedroom.

/ Prince Haruna raises an eyebrow.

Haruna: Do I need to know how you got it?

Aria: No. You definitely don't.

/ Aria interrupts before you answer. Prince Haruna turns around and then stops.

Haruna: Tell me. How was she?

Chris: How do you I was distracted by a woman?

Haruna: Concentrate, Chris. Focus.

Chris: She was very attractive

Haruna: Yeah, yeah but I need more details. How she smells? And what was the color of her eyes?

Chris: I don't remember, she smells nice and her eyes were brown. Yeah, I remember she smells like honey.

/ Prince Haruna looks worried.

Haruna: One last question, Chris. How was her voice?

Aria: Wow, they're weird your method of Inspection?

Haruna: Believe me, they're not.

Chris: Oh, just imagining her voice makes me tremble. She was seductive and terrifying at the same time. She whispers like...

Haruna:  A snake. It's like she is swallowing you

/ Prince Haruna cuts you while you were speaking.

Chris: That precisely what I felt too. And she knows my whole name. It freaking me out because no one knows my whole name.

/ Prince Haruna looks deeply at the glowing bracelet like it contains answers

Chris: You seem to know who she is.

/ Aria breaks the silence by asking Prince Haruna.

Aria: Do you know her?

Haruna: I need to verify something to be sure.

/ The prince of Luxamina turns and walks outside.

Aria: You should go after him. He needs someone to talk to right now.

Chris: And you think I should be that person. You got to be kidding.

Aria: Think for a second, Why did he trust you with the bracelets? And the fact that you're a Luxamy is the best reason to go. And he would like to talk to his kind than anyone else. Now go.

Chris: okay.

Aria: Before you go. Seeing the face Prince Haruna is making you should prepare for what may come. Bad, worse, or.

Chris: Or?

Aria: Or horrible

Chris: Wow, thanks for the pep talk. It motives me.

Aria: Hey, I'm just being realistic

/ You run outside. You're looking for him until you find him sitting with princess Katharina. You smile to see that he is talking to someone. They get closer and princess Katharina puts her hand around his neck and starts caressing it. You keep looking. You see that princess Katharina changes her position to turns and looks at Prince Haruna but he doesn't change. He keeps looking a front of him. You start to feel a little jealous. You can't help but keep looking to see if there will happen something between them. until a guard calls you out.

Guard: Chris from Luxamina, the queen Beatrice asks to see you immediately.

Chris: Alright, I will go. There was no need to scream.

/ You whisper your last words while you're heading to the throne chamber. When you get to the throne chamber you find Vlad and some knights chatting.

Vlad Cogred: Finally, you're here the queen is looking for you. Haven't you see her?

Chris: Not yet, but do you know why she's looking for me?

Vlad Cogred: No. But when the queen is asking for you, you don't keep her wait.

Chris: Okay, I'm going. Geez, what happened with everyone today? No one seems to be in the mood.

/ You arrive at the queen's bedroom door but you hesitate to knock on it. Until she calls you from inside.

Beatrice: Come in.

/ You open the door and walk inside with shock. She is sitting on a long chair with her hands on her legs like she is holding something.

Chris: How did you know I was on the door?

Beatrice: I will explain everything after but now I want you to approach here.

/ You approach her and something between her legs starts glowing. When you get closer you see it.



/ Your jaw drops. And the queen looks at you surprisingly.

Beatrice: I knew it I just wanted to be sure.

Chris: What...? What are you talking about?

Beatrice: It's glowing. Don't you get it?

Chris: I'm not sure what you mean.

Beatrice: It's only glowing when you approach it. I know it because of the last time you were here, It glows. When that happened I need to be sure but you disappeared. And now that you came back. I'm sure.

Chris: Sorry your Highness but I'm shocked just like you.

Beatrice: Don't be surprised, Chris. You know exactly what this is. Because I know who you are.

/ Chris's eyes widen.

Chris: What?

Beatrice: You can play innocent wherever you want but I'm certain you know what I mean. You're from the future, Chris.
