The Dream Saga - Chapter 108

I was heading towards the person who saw me and misunderstood and could become a reason for my fall, according to my puny imagination. Maybe it was not my imagination, maybe it was my déjà vu.

“Wait there I’ll come to you, don’t move, alright. I’ll explain everything.” I yelled at him in order to stop him.

“NO!! don’t move!”

I was running towards him and he started yelling; I didn’t get it why he was acting like that until I saw behind me…

“Huh! What is it…?”

“Fuck!!! No!!” the thing behind me was nothing scary but the consequence of it was.

My Bath robe’s ribbon was stuck in the doorknob and I was running forward in the opposite direction to it, which meant a little bit of more pull was needed to open my bathrobe, and I provided that by running int the opposite direction.

The thing that bothered me was not that my bathrobe was about to get opened, but the inside of the robe did. I was naked. And I was so late to counter the situation.

The ribbon got stretched straight, and I felt the tension that was produced by the stretching of it, and with a swoosh sound. My bathrobe was wide open the beautiful body of the king was exposed to the entire world now. I felt the cool air on my skin when it got opened it was cool and relaxing yet embarrassing and I couldn’t let all my honor glass break in one moment…

“Leviathan!! No!” The person who I was running after rushed towards me with his cloak in his hand. At that moment, I felt he was my biggest ally in the entire world. Everything that happened in the minute felt like a time pause, with classical piano music playing in the background and everything was slow like a romance sequence, a prince running for his princess to keep her from falling with her soft and fragile body smashing onto the hard floor and in the end, he’d save her somehow but I did not know about my fate.

While I was falling, I remembered a quote I read in my childhood days. ‘know one thing if you’re fighting for your honor and it’s only you who can restore it.’ and it motivated me to fight till the end; I enforced all of my power to save my honor.

“Yaahhh!!!” I screamed my lungs out. I was preparing for a spell, which was the only thing that could save me.

“SUMMON!”

And in a split second, hundreds of snakes crawled out of the whole palace and wrapped themselves around my whole body. And in the meantime, the guy came with the cloak and covered me with it.

I felt safest at that moment, and a big smile covered me that showed how relieved and happy I was after saving my honor and body. The guy who covered me with his cloak smiled and waved his head with a sigh of relief.

The romantic classical music that was playing in the background intensified because the prince successfully saved his princess.

Our timing was so accurate because in the next second Rose ran out of the room in search of me and a few guards also ran over to my location to check the situation. I was damn lucky.

“Ah, it’s nothing to worry about. Go back to your duties. Rose, wait for me inside I’m coming.” I took a deep breath and told the guards.

“Thanks, man, for saving me. By the way, can you give me a hand, you know I can’t stand without exposing something.”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Huh! What is this symbol?” I noticed a particular special symbol on the outfit and the cloak of the man. With the first look at it, I knew who this symbol belonged to.

“Hey, this Sigil! you’re…”

“Yeah, I know. We can talk about it later.” I should save myself honor first.

He supported me in covering me while I walked inside my room. As I got into my room, I ran straight into the changing room.

“Damn! That was close. Let me get dressed first.” I took my most expensive piece of outfit because the guy who was waiting outside, waiting for me, was not some ordinary man. He was someone who was important in the country.

I took my black silk shirt with bishop sleeves, I wore serpent shaped gauntlet that was a jewelry which was made of platinum and my dark violet-colored velvet cloak that had serpent embroidery of thread made up of gold strings; I tried my best to show I was not some random guy I was dressed so everyone can feel the power coming from me.

And now I was ready now to visit my special guest.

“Hello, I’m back . Sorry that I kept you waiting” I sat on a chain in front of him and rolled my eyes to check where Rose was, I called her and asked her to bring some tea for our guest, I watched her leave the room and as she left, I sorted out the misunderstanding.

“Ugh, well, I know what you saw was a kind of awkward scene. I know anyone who would have watched it, might have thought the same. But it’s not like that!” I explained to him everything that happened before he opened the door, so anyhow there remains no chance for a misunderstanding.

“I was just consoling her as she was sad!”

“It’s okay, you can do it with a maid. It’s no big deal, buddy.”

“No! I can’t! you still don’t understand, I think of her as a sister!!”

“Woah, some bold words there! She’s a maid, you’re a king. Don’t you think it’s kind of inappropriate to call a maid your sister?”

“I knew you’d say something like this, but it’s not that. I look at people by their heart, not by their ranks.”

“Yeah, I’m like this “BEELZEBUB!!!”

I ran and hugged her tight “Rose no, don’t cry big brother is here to protect you.”

“Thank you so much” Her teardrops touched the ground, and she hugged me back tightly.

In the meantime, someone knocked on the door, but the door was unlocked, and as the person on the door knocked, it got wide open.

“Huh! What?” as the door opened my eyes got onto it and a person stood there. And in that exact moment, I realized I was in a position where anyone who saw me would misunderstand the whole situation.

I was flushed; I did not know what was going on. My brain went numb and started to imagine weird scenarios…

***

First figure that I imagined in front of me was my bestie Lee. With a disappointed and betrayed expression…

“Kai, aren’t you ashamed of what you did?”

“Lee, it’s not what it looks like , these all are just rumors please understand!”

“What am I supposed to understand when the deed is already done ?? To be honest, I don’t want to even listen to you, you were my best friend. You could have at least told me, nobody just me. What did you think I will spread rumors about you and rose??”

“Lee!! No! you got it all wrong!!!” When he said ‘were best friend ‘ it hurted my heart. I was still his best friend and he was mine, until we’re alive.

My mind was showing me all these weird possibilities, and it did not stop just after one. It kept showing me these again and again.

Next appeared my ‘heart beat ‘ , the goddess Ecirel with teary eyes and a hint of anger.. ***

“Why did you do that?”

“Ecirel, you too got it all wrong there’s a big misunderstanding.” I was constantly pleading.

“Why did you kissed me if you already loved someone else? Why?”

“No, No, No,” I cried out

“You tainted a pure heart of a maiden, you will be punished for yWerour sins!”

“GET OUT!”

“Nooo!!!” My imaginations were on the wild stage now. I even imagined that Ecirel has fallen for me.

***

Next were my precious friends who stood with me at my worst. That wise werewolf Sabir and enemy of my healing injuries, Skyler the thief. Looking at me with as a disgusting creature….

“Huh!”

“Skyler, I never thought he’d do anything like this.”

“I thought he was a guy with some principles but no he’s just a cheap man.”

“Sabir, Skyler, you two….”

“Look who we have here, the cheapest guy in the entire world.” Skyler commented to me harshly.

“What are you two talking about?” I questioned with stressed expressions.

“Look, how innocent he is trying to look like,”

“He called Rose as his sister, but got caught forcing himself onto her.”

“Yeah, I wonder how that precious was suffering this all alone. I didn’t know someone I was so close with, did this kind of things.”

“He’s not the guy we used to know. He’s corrupted now. I’m ashamed to call myself his friend,” Sabir commented.

“Hey, hey what do you mean…”

“We are ashamed of you.”

“No!!!! No!!!”

***

“Master Kai ! Master Kai !” Rose rocked my head as I was lost in my terrible imagination.

“Huh! Wha-What was that? What?” I came back to myself and took a second to realize that everything I just saw was an illusion.

Those accusations, bad expressions, harsh words, misunderstanding..

Wait I have to pretend it to spread like fire in a forest.

My eyes went back to the door. The person was looking at me with a curious gaze. I knew whatever he just saw right now ,he misunderstood it.

“No!!!” I yelled at the person at the door.

“Ah, I’m sorry I should’ve knocked before, I should leave your majesty. Don’t mind me this mere servant , please continue” He seemed sincere to me, he bowed and closed the door with adequate. But because of his behavior, I got distracted and forgot the part that he really misunderstood.

“Sir! No!” I tied my robe and ran after him barefooted, I yelled at him as he shutted the door.

My speed at which I arrived at the door was godly. It was enough to break sprint records. I opened the door and banged it on the other side. I saw the man leaving the hallway in haste.

“Hey! Stop right there. By the order of king!” I used my power of position to stop the person on the other end. And his reply was not what I was expecting.

“I’m sorry, for that I’ll visit some other time, Leviathan! Continue what you were doing I won’t tell a soul your majesty. ”

“No! it’s not what you thought it to be. Please understand.” I cried out.

“I told you, your majesty. I’m not going to judge you, this low soul will never tell anyone your majesty “. He said politely with his head low at 60 degrees towards the ground.

“Wait there! For me I’ll come to you don’t move, alright. I’ll explain everything.”

“Don’t move or you’ll be in trouble!!!” he turned back to me and suddenly his eyes expanded as he saw a ghost.

“NOOO!!!” he screamed

“No what ?? I turned my back to see why he was acting so weird and what I saw was terrifying, but I was in a situation that I couldn’t stop to imagine the consequences.”

NOOOOO!!!
