The Elysian Prince Series: Neo Of The Battlefield

3

It should be easy to forget her. I just need to remember why I need to. But then, for the past months I know I am completely different person from the way I am before. I'm a different me. Maybe a few habits remains as it is but there are a few changes as well.

So it's like this. I happened to be a prince from a kingdom called Sol Trinitia. I serve the highest prince as his royal adviser. My duty is to protect the throne and the highest prince. But, now that the highest prince is gone, I have become the next in line.

Meaning, I am the highest prince permanently? Temporarily? I don't really know.

The problem is, I can't remember anything about myself other than a genius tech billionaire. Yes, sure I have lost my memories from two years ago, but the mystery remains. I can't remember anything about myself being a prince or even an immortal even before the incident two years ago. I don't know really know who exactly I am right now. It's like I'm living in a life full of lie or better yet, I am living someone else's life. It's the same as waking up every morning believing you are a boy until one day somebody told you that you are not. It's a little confusing right?

From the way my brother described me as a prince, I sounded like a complete idiot. Complete with full arrogance and so sickeningly uptight. I don't know if I wanted to get my old self back.

Then, I wonder if she would ever love someone like me despite all of these?

But it's no use. I really have to forget her. Because from what my brother have told me, I cannot let my feelings or emotions cloud my judgement. My people needs me. There are so many lives at stake. If I let this feeling ruled me, the realms will be destroyed. The humans as well as everything that I ever cared for will be gone.

It's like giving my enemies a gun, guiding them to pull the trigger in my head.

Sighing in defeat. I might not remember who I used to be, but I do know what is the right from wrong. I do know what I needed to do for my people. I cannot let them suffer because I become selfish. With memory or not, it is my duty to protect them as their leader.

I am running in the for my usual morning routine. Now I understand why I don't feel any fatigue. It's a part of being an immortal.  I ran my usual pace, minding my own self and carefully masking my actions like any normal person would.

Edward told me to act normal. It would have seem that whenever I am distracted, my powers tend to show.

Edward reinforced the shield around the perimeter of the mansion. He have given me a silver bracelet to wear as a protection. How? I don't know.

There are a lot of things right now that I don't really know. Like, really? I'm a f***kng genius yet I don't know what is going on with my life.

This is so frustrating. I've never felt so useless before.

I stop running and place my hand on my knees. I watched the tiny drop of sweat falling on the concrete street. For someone who doesn't felt any fatigue, I do sweat a lot. Like a normal people.

I lifted my head and looks up. I heard the sound of door chimes ringing and I realized I was standing a few feet away from the cafeteria, the Oak Leaf.

I walked into the café feeling hungry. I approach the counter where I knew Lynne would be except Lynne is nowhere to be found. In her place is another woman.

I stood frozen for a while, unable to believe my eyes. Just when I have decided to forget her, I found myself standing in front of her.

She doesn't see me yet, she's busy placing the basket of pastries along the counter. After placing the basket, she straightened and turn to greet with a ready smile on what she knew was a customer waiting.
