His Sovereign

Chapter 1: The Beginning

The first rays of sunlight shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a rosy glow in the sky. A new day had arisen and the world welcome another flurry of morning activities and works. Alarm clocks ringing, kids boarding their school bus, adults driving slowly or hurriedly on the road. Everyone is doing their own thing on this new day.

A peaceful coffee shop is seen bustled with customers on the side of the road today just like any other day before. A long queue can be seen. Some wears office attires, some still in their sportswear and some wears simple outfits. Most of them waited patiently in the long queue, playing with their tablets or phones while some just chatted leisurely with their partners.

An earthy warm, rich coffee aroma wafted out of the café to the people outside. It makes them stretch out their neck to catch a whisp of the smell, engraving it in their mind. Morning coffee with a just right heaviness of cocoa, added along the smell of baked buns and breads. It was a peaceful day. This shop is called Café Royale.

Ding!

The café's door opened and a boy with a chestnut hair step out. His apron is still tied to his slim figure, adding a sunny temperament to the still immature face paired with a pure smile.

"Good morning and good day. I apologized for the long waiting time. Guests can come in now" His soft voice echoed in the busy street. The people who were queuing step inside the café in a straight line like a good student. They can't help it. The soft and pure voice making it feels like being noisy will blaspheme the boy.

Gasps could be heard once the people were inside. If the boy at the door exudes innocent aura, then the one who is currently decorating a bun at the counter right now is a definition of an angel. His appearance can't be described in words.

The people inside are new customers. They come here because someone had posted on the country's forum yesterday that the new café has a very beautiful boy and his crafts are top notch. The buns, beverages, foods, cakes and the cookies here tasted divine. The café always open and closes whenever the orders are full. These customers have been betting their morning and works just to have a taste of it.

"Good morning, miss. What can I do for you?" The voice brings back everyone's thoughts. A smiling face is currently looking at the first person on the line and the person who receives such kind smile started blushing uncontrollably.

"Can I have a uh .... A small cup of cafe latte plus two pieces of cheese toasts?" The girl shyly ordered which the man on the counter nods softly. "Is that all?" He asks patiently. The girl nodded again and the man hands in her receipt.

The rest of the queue were handled unhurriedly but orderly. Everyone seated on their preferable seats. The inside of the café is a new environment. It was a royalty theme café. From the door view, an ochre yellow carpet is placed on the tile floor. It was actually an old café before this new, young owner take over the building. So, the carpet was just left there by the new owner and it can be seen that he still cherishes the carpet. The lights inside the café are soft and warm, creating a cozy atmosphere that most places missed out.

The blue sky outside is dotted with fluffy, white and clean clouds that drifted lazily in the gentle breeze of the morning. More and more people attracted to the sweet and warm smell emanating from the comfortable café. The sound of the bell ringing continuously throughout the whole morning and slowly fades away when noon arrives. Only then can the two boys inside take a breather.

"The numbers of people coming here keep increasing, right?" The boy whose face stuck in his 17 sighed comfortably upon rested on the soft couch. There were beads of sweat glistening on his nose bridge.

The man who cleans a mug heard his smug tone and instantly chuckled. The soft voice bringing pleasure to the listener.

"Mingzhe, if you keep up your soft boyfriend voice on me, I believed I'll bent tomorrow" The boy, Yize, snorted funnily. He twisted his body to find a more comfortable position to rest while maintaining his sight with the slender figure on the counter.
