Chapter 5: Adrian's Mysterious Encounter Continued

Third POV.

Adrian woke up, his body throbbing again and feel dizzy and headache.He found himself in a cozy room, adorned with vintage furniture and an aura of elegance. Richard, the butler, stood by his side, worry etched on his face.

"Welcome back, sir. I'm glad to see you're awake," Richard expressed, his voice filled with relief.

Adrian tried to sit up, his mind still spinning from his encounter with Angelo and the peculiar world he had temporarily found himself in. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to his current situation.

"Richard, tell me everything you know," Adrian insisted, his voice stern.

Richard was taken aback and unsure of how to respond.

"What I mean is, tell me what happened. Why does my body hurt when I wake up, and why can't I remember anything?" Adrian asked.

"As I said before, young prince, you are the youngest prince of this kingdom, the Kingdom of Astraea. Your name is Angelo Astraea Astralis," Richard responded.

"Huh, a prince? How did that happen? And what's the Kingdom of Astraea?" Adrian asked again.

"Yes, the Kingdom of Astraea," Richard confirmed.

"Wait, are there other kingdoms here besides the one we're in now?"

"Yes, there are other kingdoms," Richard answered.

A few minutes passed before Richard's stomach growled loudly, causing Adrian to look at him.

"Are you hungry, young prince?" Richard asked, smiling at Adrian.

"Hmmm, yes," Adrian admitted, embarrassed by the situation.

"In that case, would you like to go to the dining area with your father the king and your siblings, or would you prefer to eat here in your room?" Richard queried.

"Wait, you didn't mention that I have a father and siblings? I have a family?" Adrian asked.

"I apologize, young prince, I forgot to mention it. You can punish me if you'd like," Richard said, secretly smiling. In his mind, he was confident, "I know you, and I know you wouldn't do that."

Adrian was surprised and said, "No, it's okay. You can stand up now. Just bring the food here. I'm hungry, and my body still hurts. I also feel dizzy and have a headache."

Richard stood up, a big smile on his face. He whispered to himself, "I knew you'd come back," his cheeks slightly red as he looked at Adrian with mixed emotions.

Adrian didn't hear what Richard said.

"Huh, what? Did you say something? And what are you looking at? Is something hurting you? Maybe it's from kneeling... sorry," Adrian said to Richard.

Richard was slightly surprised and smiled even wider.

"It's nothing, my prince. I'm just happy that you're here and that you've come back," Richard said.

Adrian fell silent, thinking, "There's that 'you've come back' phrase again. What does that mean? How have I come back?" He was confused about what was happening and what these people were saying. "I just arrived in this world, and I'm already facing problems! I don't even know much about my new self, apart from my name," he thought, sighing deeply.

Richard noticed this and thought, "Don't worry, now that you're back, I'm here to guide and protect you, no matter what! So that what happened before, you disappearing, doesn't happen again!" Richard paused, then continued, "I'll go ahead and get your food," he said, bowing before leaving the room.

Adrian was surprised by what Richard said and became even more confused about what was happening, but he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he waited for Richard to return with his food.
