Unsound

Royalty

I ate my lunch and laid down. My focus was more to the bracelet that Aelia gave me. She entrusted me with her ability and i'm here trying to find out how to use them. I know that i shouldn't make it obvious, so i tried to communicate with Aelia one more time but i failed.

Hours passed in this realm like nothing. I bet i've just gone about a few minutes. I was getting tired and decided to sneak out. When i tried to do so, it was the Shirley girl standing before me.

"Where do you think you're going?", she asked in a monotone voice.

"I just want a tour around this hell hole.", i replied.

"His majesty clearly stated that you should stay in your room."

I pinch myself on the arm and it hurts. I was waiting for a mark to appear. "Now, Prince Emon wouldn't like it if he saw what you did to me.", i pointed at my arm and a blue black mark appeared. It was the size of a cherry. I could see she was annoyed by me and she immediately lead me the way.

"No one is to disturb Prince Emon while he's in his meeting room. The last person who interrupted him got his head cut off and displayed right infront of his room.", she said.

"So, he decided to use Prince instead of King, huh?"

"If his majesty wants to be called a Prince then that's what he is."

"Don't you think he is being insensible...?", she paused and turned to me without any expression on her face.

"His majesty is an excellent ruler and he has been for hundreds of years.", she told me.

"Ok then... On to other topic, why were you flirting with Ty earlier on...?"

"That's what humans do. They pretend and fake their way through everything."

"What are you?", i asked and this time she ignored me and opened a door. It was filled with books. I was mesmerized by the amount of books.

"Wow! Wait a minute, 'Killing a human', 'How to feed on other demons', are these books from authors of your realm...?", she shook her head and then i saw a lot of topics about demons. So, they must be a species of demons.

"Time's up. Next room.", i ran out of the room and kept asking her questions. "What's your name?"

"My name is not of your concern."

"Then, how did you ended up serving Emon?", i asked.

"It's Prince Emon. Respect his majesty."

She continued walking and then stopped on her feet and quickly kneel. "His majesty."

"What are you doing with this boy.", his voice was firm and i decided to cut in and replied, "I wanted a tour of this castle. She told me you did not allow such actions so i threatened her.", i straight up blatantly told him the truth.

"Very well. You're dismissed...You, come with me.", Prince Emon showed me the way to his room and i saw decapitated heads all infront of his room. It made me sick to the stomach. He opened the door and a blast of sandalwood scent rushed out and his room was huge. It was exactly like a victorian era room and it was beautiful.

"Here, a book about your ancestors. Read up.", he passed me a thick book and i turned the pages, every picture i saw came to life as if it was a projection of them. Prince Emon was happily drinking his martini and sat at the edge of his bed while i sat at the sofa.

"That beautiful man is Merlin. He was the most beautiful man i've ever laid eyes on and he was the first human being to become a necromancer.", he said.
