The Promise

Chapter 1 ~ The Dream

"Hey kion listen when i grow up and become a emperor will you marry me?"

"Of course i would i will be waiting"

"It is a promise"

Opening my eyes noticing the sun rays shining through the window, it was morning sitting up and looking out of the window.

(Once again it is the same dream i have been having)

My name is kion wilson, i was adopted when i turned ten years old thinking i had a lovely family i was wrong because when the real son was found everything changed.

Due to the bullying and abuse i ran away, then a wonderful couple found me on the streets that cold winter and took me in.

"Kion are you awake sweetie?"

"Yes mother i am awake"

"Once your ready come downstairs"

That is right today is my birthday and i turned seventeen years old, my parent's own a tavern and it can get busy.

Once dressed and ready after the morning bath, i headed downstairs as the tavern was pretty quiet until i heard poppers go off.

"Happy Birthday Kion!"

Many people that my parent's knew and neighbours came around, to celebrate my birthday before they headed off to work.

"T.. thank you everyone"

I could feel the warmness and love before i noticed tears were running down my cheek, a young male who had red crimson hair also amber gold eyes placed his arm around me.

"Oh look at you kion being a baby hahaha"

"Oh shut up michael"

"Hahahaha but anyway happy birthday"

Michael is the son of the town guard ethan, he was disappointed he couldn't come as he had to head off to work early.

"Now kion blow out the candles"

My parent's brought in a birthday cake, then placed it on the table once everyone sung the happy birthday song i blew out the candles.

"Kion you know how you said you like cats"

"Yes i did why?"

Mother nodded at my father who nodded then went into the back, a few minutes later he came holding a beautiful orange kitten with white paws and had a little white tip on his tail and orange eyes.

"Once again happy birthday my son"

I took the cat from my father then held it in my arms, it purred and i smiled while stroking it the cat looked very comfortable.

"Come on everyone lets have some cake before it melts"

That morning was filled with laughter and join, you could say it was the best day for me and hoping it will remain peaceful.

"Kion sweetie can you go and get the ingredients what is on the list?"

"Of course mother you be good oscar okay i will be back soon"

I stood up and placed oscar then took the list also the money pouch, heading out of the door i noticed someone in the shadows then they vanished.

(Hm? that was weird)

Shaking my head forgetting what i just saw, i proceeded into the shopping district as i arrived i could see how there were so many people.

After acquiring the stuff on the list, i noticed a pet store with some allowance i walked over and headed inside.

"Good day sir how may i help you"

"Good day and i am looking for a collar for a kitten of mine"

The store owner showed me where the collar's were kept for any pet, looking through them they looked so fancy until one a red one with a yellow bell was spotted.

"I will take that one"

"Of course sir"

As he took it to the counter i paid it for it, he wrapped it up for me thanking him and paying for it i headed out.

(Now that is everything sorted should i head back)

Heading back i could hear voices and a crowd has gathered, wondering what was going off i walked over.

(Huh? Michael!?)

Surprising i saw michael kneeling infront of a noble, as he was clutching his stomach the noble who looked two years older then me was smirking at him.

"Hah how pathetic you are for a commoner"

"So because your a noble you think you can look down on us!"

The young male had chestnut brown hair and emerald green eyes, he wore expensive clothing and with him was some knights.

"Why you little ingrate!"

As the noble turned around and took one of his knight's sword, he swung it towards him i called out to michael and ran infront of him.

"Kion no!"

I closed my eyes but then i heard a yell and opened my eyes, the noble young male was clutching his wrist.

"A noble attacking a unarmed person is not a noble"

A cloaked figure was standing infront of me, he had his sword pointing towards the noble as the young male glared at him.

"Next time you will be not so lucky commoner"

He turned around then walked away, the knight picked up his sword sheathing it then followed the young male.

"Are you two okay"

"Y.. yes thank you for helping us"

"That is good now go and head back home"

Thanking the cloaked figure i helped michael up, we headed back to the tavern together i looked back noticing that he was looking at me until he was out of the view.

"Your grace was that the boy who you thought you lost?"

"Yes look how much he has grown just like his mother"

"Will you let the emperor know?"

"I am sure he already knows"

The cloaked figure smiled softly, he turned and walked away with the other cloaked figure until both were gone.

Later that evening i laid in bed staring at the ceiling, for some reason i kept thinking about that cloaked figure.

(Who is he and why does he feel familiar to me)

Sighing softly oscar jumped onto my bed, he walked over then nuzzled my cheek softly i smiled and stroked him.

"That collar looks great on you"

Oscar meowed and i giggled then blew out the candle, turned to onto my side i fell asleep but then when i opened i was somewhere different.

(Where am i?)

I looked up seeing a blue sky also a field of flowers i was standing in, looking around i noticed a lake then headed over.

(Are those people?)

As i got closer i could see two people, a beautiful woman with long blonde hair and was wearing a summer white strap dress behind them was a beautiful white building.

"Do you think our baby will be a boy or girl?"

"Boy or girl it doesn't matter just as long it is healthy"

A man in his mid twenties maybe he had black hair, like the night sky a summer white shirt and black pants and brown boots as he was stroking the woman's stomach.

Watching in silence the woman looked at me, she smiled softly and then everything went bright.

Opening my eyes i noticed i was back in my room, when i sat up tears was falling down my face as oscar comforted me.
