The Dream Saga - Chapter 51

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!!!”
