MY MER LIFE IN ANOTHER WORLD! (BL)

5. "My name is Ashraine"

Chapter 5

      As Arrien finished his vow in his heart, he noticed that he was lying in a luxurious thick mattress and was startled in where he was now.

     Then he remembered what happened before he passed out, it seemed that he was brought by that man here. He did'nt know why but maybe because of the mermaid race's instinct, he felt that the man would not harm him.

     As he thought this, he heard a rustle and saw that the man from earlier came in through the tent's opening along with a long bearded old man dressed in a white priest robe.

    "Oh! It seems that you're already awake!" The man said.

    Earlier at the lake he did'nt get a proper look at the man due to the darkness in the water, added to the fact that he suddenly fainted due to headache when he reached ashore, he now only saw how handsome the man in front of him was.

     The man has a perfect eagle-like dark blue eyes, and a chest-long golden hair that was tied at the end, his body emenating a noble and majestic aura, he is tall and had a wide and broad shoulders, all of this can make any women swoon and any men very jealous over him.

     His eyes was suddenly blinded by this perfect, handsome man. He seems to be hallucinating just now, he somehow saw countelss special effect surrounding the man with red toses in the background.

  [A/N: You know, like those ikemen intro in anime?]

    "How is it? Does your head still hurt?" The handsome man asked, with a face full of worry.

    He snapped out of his thoughts as he slowly shaked his head in response. As the man saw he's fine he(Azral) breathed a sigh of relief.

    "It's good that you're fine, but since you're now awake, do you want the doctor to examine you again? But of course, you can also decline if you don't want to." The handsome man carefully asked.

    Arrien thought for a moment and declined.

"Well, since the kid's fine now, i will take my leave Your Majesty."

    The man nodded and let the doctor go. The doctor gave him some tonics before he left. Then only the two of them were left in the tent.

   They both were in an awkward silence as two pairs of eyes stared at each other, one big and one small kept still until one of them broke the silence.

   "Um...ah..m-may i ask you something?." Arrien gathered up all his courage to ask the man.

    "Oh! Yes yes, sure thing." The man said, then he paused for a moment before he added. " But you have to answer some of my questions too, but it's fine if you don't want to, i won't force you."

    Arrien hesitated for a moment before he nodded and then asked.

     "Okay, it's fine for me. Then may i ask, um..are you a king?" Arrien slowly asked after a deep thought. He was already wondering about this question for a while now, he can't help but recall those people earlier calling the man 'Your Majesty' or 'Your Highness' in a respectfull tone.

    'Was he a king? A prince? He must be from the royal family based on the hansome man's title' he thought.

    The handsome man was stunned for a while when he heard him ask this question. Then the man suddenly laughed out loudly.

    'Did i say something funny?' Arrien thought and doubtfully looked at the man in a questioning manner. But he really have to admit that the man was truly very handsome and majestic even when he laughed out like that.

     Truth be told, he actually has a little bit of envy and five percent of hate towards hansome men due to his looks being too feminine that his fans were mostly men rather than women. Aaaahh!!! He does'nt really want to remember his dark history back then. It's too tragic.

     "*cough* um...sorry about that. Well, where are my manners, i forgot to introduce myself." The man said as he noticed his(Arrien) his gaze.

   The man gave another cough as he organized himself properly and began to speak again.

    "Hello, My name is Azral Von Faust Carmiele, ruler and king of Carmiele Royal Capital in Carius Continent. You can also call me uncle Az." Azral then bowed as he finished his speach in an alegant manner.

    'So he really is from a royal blood.' Arrien thought but..

    "Um... is'nt it rude to call the royal family by their name? Not to mention you're the king. I think it's more fit to call you 'Your Highness'."

    "No, it's really fine and i really insist in you calling me that way, i'm more comfortable on people not being formal with titles and ettiquetes. Besides, if i allow you to call me that then no one was allowed to say no. Hehe" Azral said.

   "Well, enough with that. Since i already introduced myself, can you tell me your name now, Little cub?"

    Arrien was about to answer when he suddenly remembered something. The voices of his two parents when he was still in the egg back then rang in his mind like bell. He still remembered the gentleness of their tone as they talked to him.

    "Honey....cub....pretty...name"

    "I....think...um..can't...seem..to think...one"

     "*sigh*Really....you...hopeless"

     "Ah!...i...know!"

     "Our....cub...beautiful...name"

       "Cub...Mama and Papa...think...name...for...you!"

      "Yes...cub's name...is-"

    Arrien paused for a while, then his lips slowly curved slightly. He already decided that he will live the life his parents want him to have, he was really gratefull to them and loved them dearly so he at least wants to be fillial to them even if they're not here anymore. And he wants to repay the life they gave to him and the love he received from them.

   So he raised his head high as he declaired his name in a very proud manner.

  "Ashraine. My name is Ashraine."
