HIS DEMON || MXM

5

It has been a week since the party and Ezra was lost. Again. He absolutely didn't have any idea how to execute his plan. Scratch that he didn't even have a plan.

He was pacing around his room not knowing what to do. His body has been healed completely. Or that's what the physician said atleast. And he was allowed to go out and do whatever he please. But his brain was still to recover. So it will take more time to regain his memories.

He didn't had any memory to regain. And that was the problem.

He somehow had to make either of the prince fall out of love. Since it is not possible to meet up with prince Augustus Ezra had decided to make Elijah his target.

But in reality he was just scared of the prince of Demetrias. He is a known ruthless being. There is a rumour going around that he had killed many people simply because they annoyed him. So Ezra wasn't really looking forward to get killed. Ezra wasn't the one to judge someone by some rumours. But the distant memory of writing Augustus' character as a yandere psycho who doesn't care about anything or anyone, made him hesitant.

Elijah on the other hand, atleast love his brother enough not to kill him. So his only option was find someone beautiful and set them up with his brother.

And that's the main task. Who would he find? He doesn't even know anyone!

And the so called guardian? Well he only appear when he please or when Ezra is in urgent need. And even if he showed up it is rare that he tell something that is actually useful.

As he was thinking beyond his brain's capacity someone knocked on his door halting him for a moment.

"come in" He said softly knowing it must be sarah. He had grown quiet close to the lady. She had her charm and a comfortable aura surrounding which often put Ezra at ease.

"Your highness! The king had requested your presence in his study." Sarah said with a bow.

"The king? And do you know why that is?" he questioned with confusion. He barely met the king two or three times. As he was on rest he didn't went to pay any visit to the king. So he wasn't familiar with the man nor his charecter.

"I Am unaware your highness" she said looking down as a sign of respect and apology.

"it's okay. Let's go then." Ezra said and told her to show him the way. After walking down the hallway for ten minutes he finally reached infront of the study room where the king usually discuss the royal affairs with the officials. The guards in front of the door greeted him by bowing and opened the door for him. With a deep breath Ezra entered the room. Walking down the path he noticed the king and the queen sitting on the chair near a table while Elijah sitting to the opposite side. He reached infront of the table and bowed politely greeting the king and the queen.

"Raise son!" The king motioned with his arm.

"How have you been?" He asked once Ezra stood properly.

"I am doing very well Your majesty" He said politely before asking the purpose of calling him here.

"The king of Demetrias had reached out to us with an invitation. The castle decided to throw a ball to young people around both the kingdom along with the tribes around the coast. I know you are still recovering but i wanted to ask if you want to go or not" The king asked with a small smile.

Ezra noticed that he wasn't speaking as a king but rather as his father. They all were sitting in a comfortable surround he noticed. He also noticed that none of the officials who are usually present in the study are not there.

"come on father! I told you he better off not coming there" Elijah interrupted before Ezra could say anything.

"And i told you it's his decision to make." The king answered.

" it's been while since he went out so i think it's good for him to have a change of scenery ." The queen added agreeing with her husband.

"i understand!But in this situation where he is not even familiar with anyone, do you think it's safe to send him to Demetrias?" Elijah frowned looking at his father.

"We are not sending him alone there son! You are with him aren't you? Besides i noticed that he was having a good time with a young girl at the party. So i think he will do fine" The king pressed turning to Ezra.

"Right! I noticed it too. You both were talking alot. What was her name.....​Yes! Mikha Roweira" The queen said with a tinkle in her eyes looking at her youngest son.

A shiver went down his spine upon hearing the name of the one person who is the source of his doom if not the reason. He looked over to Elijah to see his reaction and saw him frowning slightly which made Ezra worry.

Would he think that his brother is into the girl he loves?

"But i still think he shouldn't go" Elijah concluded amd turned to Ezra.

The three pairs of eyes now pointed at him made Ezra realise that they were waiting to hear of his opinion. He looked around trying to figure out what to say. He didn't thought he had a say in it untill he was given the opportunity to.

On one side Elijah did have a point saying he didn't knew anyone there which made him hesitant. But on the brighter side, if he can be in a premise where Elijah along with Mikha and Augustus might make him able to prevent anything horrible happening between those two. Plus he can try to set Elijah up with some girl that will attend the ball.

But there is also a risk that mikha will treat him like a close friend because of the small talk he had with her at the party causing him to die at the hand of the one and only antagonist Augustus Cameron. He sighed putting that thought aside and decided to go with the positive outcome.

"i will go" Ezra said making Elijah express his protest.

"The Queen mother is right. I do indeed need a change of scenery . I am getting bored of the walls of my room. Besides you are there to protect me in times when i fail to take care of myself, aren't you brother?" Ezra said with a smile which Elijah returned wholeheartedly after a moment.

" Fine if that is what you want. Then i will not hold you back" Elijah said nodding his head.

After a while of discussion Ezra excused himself and went to his room. As he laid down on his mattress thinking about tomorrow's journey he felt excited as much as he felt dreaded.

He wasn't ready for anything that's happening to him. Then again it wasn't with his permission that he got thrown into this mess. Nonetheless he had to prepare for the departure tomorrow. A new turn in his adventure.

He just wish that he will survive this.
