Chapter 9

When Ashraine woke up, it was already morning of the next day. he stared at a yet again an unfamiliar place.

'What's with this feeling of Deja vu?' he thought.

As he was about to examine the room which was screaming 'Very Expensive' in each and every corner of the room, the door which was inlaid with silver and gold markings which he didn't know if it was real or not suddenly opened and he saw the old man whom he met yesterday during the journey, it was Grandpa Jill.

"Oh, it seems young master Raine was already awake! You must be tired from the long ride yesterday, right? I presume that young master still remember this old servant?" Jill smilingly asked.

"Grandpa Jill!" Ashraine exclaimed and hurriedly tried to get out of the bed, but he soon realized that the bed was too high for him to reach the floor, he forgot that he was currently an seven year old kid and added to the fact that his body was smaller than his age due to lack of complete nutrition from all those years he lived alone in that lake.

Old butler Jill smiled at his actions, he went towards the bed to help the little kid get down the floor, but he was a little surprised when he picked up Ashraine as the kid was almost as light as if he weighed almost nothing. He was distressed at this discovery and was more gentle and protective towards the kid.

"All right, it's good that you're up now, let's go get you washed and dressed, his Highness has ordered me to wake you up and tell you to join them at breakfast and he also said that Her Majesty, the Queen dowager wants to meet you too." Jill said.

When Ashraine heard this, he then realized that this place must be inside of one of the rooms in the castle, he remembered that he seems to have fallen asleep halfway through their conversation yesterday and Azral must've been the one who brought him here after they've reached the castle.

'Speaking of which, where's Uncle Az?' He thought and decided to ask Grandpa Jill.

"Well, His majesty was currently at a meeting with the nobles and ministers to discuss some work matters at the hall room." Jill answered after he heard his question.

'Oh, so that's why. Must be hard being the king and the ruler.' Ashraine could'nt help but pity Azral as he thought this.

Meanwhile, at the same time in the hall room.

Azral slightly sneezed as he was sitting at his throne looking at the nobles and ministers discussing different topics about their fief's problems.

'*sigh* i hope this meeting ends sooner. Ahhh!! I want to see little Raine's cute and adorable face! Aargh!! If not for this stupid meeting i would be the one to wake little Raine up instead of that old man!' He thought as he glared at the people in the room.

The nobles and ministers who suddenly felt the sudden drop of temperature quieted down as they saw their king glaring at them for some unknown reason. The poor ministers and nobles all trembled in fear as the king's gaze swept over them one by one as if he was going to kill them through his gaze the next moment.

'Oh God please save us! Why is the king suddenly glaring at us!? Who ever it is who provoked the king go to hell! don't drag us down with you!' All of them thought at the same time.

However, no matter how much they plead in their hearts, the meeting still continued for over half an hour. This is the first time they've wished for the morning meeting to end as quickly as possible as to avoid the burning gaze that the king have been directing them the whole time.
