I Remembered You

Chapter Two

Brickelwhyte was a kingdom located in northwestern England, used to be a separate kingdom with very beautiful lush mountainous area, rivers running down in the middle which connected to one of the biggest lakes in England. Between 1435-1800s, it took forty minutes on carriage ride for people to reach the seaside where they do trade in a famous harbour that they now called the Dragon's Scale Harbour. It's also a famous place for the origin of a thousand years old children's tale The Dragon's Tear.

Brickelwhyte was known as the biggest monarchy in the 1700s. The kingdom itself was at least six hundred years old and ruled almost half of the current United Kingdom. About a hundred years before Arthur the Second ruled, an invasion of the neighbouring kingdom had resulted the death of the queen and it started the Battle of Northbrick, the war that last until 127 years at least. After King Arthur the First ruled, the economy in Brickelwhyte got better for once, it's said that Brickelwhyte reached its most glorious era under his son,  Arthur the Second after he managed to win the war.

The kingdom eventually fell under parliament after two centuries, the royal family spread out all over Europe. Mostly in Hungary and the rest was said that they migrated to America. There were some records that believed the famous and current richest family who owns multiple multibillion corporations around the world, the Knight, was actually the descendants of Brickelwhyte's royalty.

Three hundred years later the kingdom turned itself into just another British countryside with its remaining stone castles as a landmark. They changed the old pronunciation of the kingdom and now the small town was officially called Brickwhite. Rather than a historical site, Brickwhite is known for the dairy farm that produced Brickelwhyte Cheese, currently the most expensive cheese brand ever made and sold, most fine dining restaurants and gourmet places use this brand for their cheese and other dairy ingredients.

Leslie Robins was dressed ready, boots laced up nice with thick scarf around his neck, it's nearing the end of October but the weather was way colder than it's supposed to be since it suddenly snowed last night. A huge suitcase stood on the side of his leggings covered legs. Although it's still five to six hours before his flight to London.

His hand holding the house phone's handset on one ear, the other hand aggressively turning the rotary dial for the numbers he had attached on the number lists on the wall in front of him. He still didn't understand why his parents insist on using the rotary dial telephone in the house when there's already a decent landline phones with convenient buttons.

"Jesse! How dare you!" Leslie exclaimed right after his cousin picked up.

"Morning Leslie!" Though it's obvious how sleepy Jesse sounded.

"Don't you 'morning Leslie' me, how dare you letting me go alone like this, you didn't even come here to tell me in person and instead-," the omega paused as he gestured his hand towards a middle age woman dressed in a nice tailcoat suit, white gloved hands clasped in front respectfully, "-you sent your babysitter here to tell me that you can't go?"

"Oh come on, Sarah isn't my babysitter, she's a butler! I'm too lazy to go all the way over there to tell you," Jesse said then got the nerve to yawn.

"You live two blocks away!"

"Says the guy who's calling me on the phone."

Though he couldn't see his face, Leslie can definitely tell Jesse just rolled his eyes.
