"How long should we walk?" I heard him asked. I didn't answer. He sighed.
In the end, I didn't leave. Instead, I'll watch him. He might kill the princess. He insisted on seeing the princess. I'm not the king to forbid him. I thought and sighed.
"Oh? Chris?" I heard Emil called.
We turned. "Emil." I spoke.
Emil smiled. "How was the prince? Is he having fun in the forest?" he asked.
I nodded. "Mm." I said. "Perfect timing." I said and motioned the man insisting to see Yelena. "He's requesting to see Yelena. I was just about to bring him to the castle – Emil?" I asked, surprised to see him looked shocked. "What's the matter?" I asked, my forehead knotted.
"H... His Highness!" he exclaimed and suddenly knelt.
"Huh? I asked, confused.
"Perfect timing, Emil." The man said, smiling happily. "Can you tell me where Yelena is?" he asked.
My jaw dropped. How can he talk to him in a very friendly tone? I thought. And I noticed this earlier, but why is he saying the princess's name so casually?
Emil stood up and nodded. "Yes, Your Highness." He answered. "I'll escort you – " he said.
"Wait a minute, Emil." I said. "What's going on here?" I asked. "Who is this man – " I said and pointed at him.
"Chris. Don't point to His Highness like that or I had to cut your finger." Emil said so seriously.
I took my hand back.
"Hey, hey..." the man said. "No need to be serious here." He said.
"But Your Highness – " Emil protested.
The man smiled. "Come on. I just forgot to introduce myself to him – " he told him.
"You don't need to do that, Your Highness." Emil said. "I'm really sorry to be rude. Chris." he said and looked at me. "I forgot to introduce him. His Highness is the Sage." He told me.
My mouth fell open. "What?!" I said. "He – " I said and looked at the man, shocked.
He smiled widely. "Hi! I'm Phillix, the great sage, Yulo's son." He said and waved.
What the heck is happening here?! I thought, way beyond shocked.
Yelena's POV
"What the heck's happening, Phoebe?" I asked, my face serious. I looked at the others who are also looking at us, waiting to be informed so they are silently watching the scenes unfold.
Phillix smiled. "Surprise - !" he said as he laughed.
I grabbed his collar. "Hey. How the heck did you get in here?" I asked. "And what the heck's about this Sage and stuff? Huh?" I asked.
He sighed, then his face went serious. "I'm really sorry about this, Yelena, but – " he took a deep breath and looked straight in my eyes. "- they're telling the truth. I'm the Sage – well, more like the Sage's son." He said.
"Huh?!" I said, shocked. I looked at them, their expressions confused. Can't blame them. I'm confused, too. I thought. Who wouldn't when you saw your best friend from the other world is also here in this world? I took a deep breath to calm myself. "Phoebe. Explain this to me from the very beginning." I said. "Ah. Wait. No. The summary first. We'll talk about more of this later. They're waiting." I said and pointed at the others.
He chuckled. "Okay." He said. "So the sage, Yulo – I was born from her subconscious mind – " he started.
I cut him off. "Who are you? Athena?" I asked.
