The Adventures of Royce!

Chapter 54: Suite Life Recovery in the Windy City!

To catch up as to what happened last Chapter: Peebs was able to convince Royce's Symbiote: Venom into letting her inject a specialized serum that WILL restore Royce's mind and body to its pre-battle state.

Royce: "Uh... how long~ how long was I out? Did we win? What?!"

Jade: "Royce, look at me," Jade demands attention from Royce, "now that I got your attention... the City is a bit devastated. You, on the other hand; you barely survived an encounter with the Dark Purple Dragon, Malefor. Put into a coma, then taken here for medical recovery and treatment," Jade said as she had said a mouthful, "phew, that was a mouthful!" The Crystal Dragoness admitted.

Royce: "Are you~" Royce wanted to contradict, then for Ember to arrive unannounced and with perfect timing.

Ember: "Royal Advisor, Jade, please, let me handle this, I was there..." Jade backed down as Ember began to approach Royce. This time, more at his pace, since he was STILL (technically) recovering. "How are you feeling?"

Royce: "Like I could take on an entire army!" Royce said with enthusiasm, therefore Ember took this as a positive sign.

Ember: "He's fine!"

Song: "Are you sure?"

Flashie: "Yes Ms.Ember, are you positive he IS alright?" Flashie asked in sync with Song as both wondered and were concerned for Royce.

Ember: "I have a degree in Medicine and Physiology. I know what I'm doing, Your Highness."

Royce was then able to get up and onto his feet.

Royce: "Can I go home now?"

Flashie: "Which one? The Human World or the one at War-Fang?"

Ember: "Pretty sure he's talking about War-Fang, right Royce?" Ember spoke for Royce before asking for his clarification.

Royce: "Yes Ember, when can I return back home 'Doctor'?"

Ember: "Apologies Royce, but that's not my call at the moment; that will be upon the Princess' decision."

Royce then looks at his Princess friend: Flashie wanting answers as he looks at her.

Flashie: "The earliest I will personally let you and your Girlfriend' here~"

Song: "HEY!"

Flashie: "~ is... ... ... Next week. Does that sound alright for you Royce?" Flashie asked the "recovering" 21-year-old Human-Fire-Guardian as for him, he didn't give any fuss because for him... well, a week was better than a month or two.

Royce: "Yes," Royce responded towards the Princess as he then came up with a question of his own, "May I sleep somewhere else besides in a web-like cocoon? Even though I enjoyed it last time here, I want something a bit more livable."

Flashie: "Yes, in fact we have just recently constructed a large-sized grand-hotel. Thing is, I usually have it reserved for high-ranking officials, pop-stars, heads-of-state, VIP's (Very Important Persons) and whatnot."

Royce: "Thank you. Wait a minute... Are you saying I can be a part of THAT hotel all the way until I fully recover?!"

Flashie: "Indeed I am."

And with Flashie saying "Yes" to letting Royce stay in the new large-sized grand-hotel, Flashie and Jade escort Royce to the hotels main entrance where he was recognized by other VIP's, royalties, high-ranking officials and heads-of-state and bowed before him.

Royce: "Am I that well-known, Flashie, Jade?"

Jade: "Yes you are Royce, as soon as Flashie was pleased with her encounter with you, word began to immediately spread and you soon became well-known by royalties and whatnot!"

Royce: "Wow! Thanks Flashie!!"

Flashie: "Anything for you, I mean you DID request for better living accommodations," Flashie said as she was about to leave before remembering something and approached Royce before whispering into his right ear, "pretty much all the Dragons (and Dragoness') here are afraid of creatures like Cynthia. In fact they ARE afraid of whatever Cynthia is, so what I'm going to do is have Jade go and pick up Cynthia. When they sight Cynthia, there will be mass panic, fear and confusion amongst the crowds, so I'm requesting that you in return is to have the crowds trust Cynthia."

Royce: "Why do the others fear types like Cynthia?"

Flashie: "Types like Cynthia, in other lands are known for hunting and slaying Dragons, and at times, with deadly efficiency."

Royce: "Understood, now please, can you retrieve Cynthia?"

Flashie: "Jade, go and pick up Cynthia."

Jade: "Yes Ma'am!"

As soon as Jade left to go and pick up Cynthia, Flashie began to talk about about her Royal Advisor, Jade and how at a time she even feared Cynthia to a certain extent.

Royce: "Seriously?? Jade, afraid of Cynthia? I find that hard to believe!"

Flashie: "Believe it or not, it's true! Now then, she should be here by now... aaannnnd... now!" Flashie predicts when both Crystal Dragoness and Sylveon enter said hotel, therefore earning silence as all attention was diverted towards Cynthia.

Royce: "Cynthia! How's my little Sylveon doing?!" Royce said in excitement and joy as to seeing his Sylveon family-member walk through the hotel entrance and into the lobby. Cynthia, hearing her name being called, perked both ears up and towards the source as to where her name was being called.

Cynthia: "Royce," Cynthia tilted her head a little to the left and sees her 21-year-old human-Fire-Guardian family members pretty much fully recovered. She was so happy to see him that she involuntarily ran towards Royce and started hugging him diligently. Although the other Dragons and Dragoness' got the wrong idea and believed that he was her next breakfast, lunch and/dinner.

Everyone: "OH NO!! THE HUMAN-GUARDIAN IS DOOMED!!"

This being said gained the attention of both Royce and Cynthia. In which both gave everyone confused looks.

Royce: "What?! We're family!"

Cynthia: "Why are they acting like they're frightened of me or something?"

Royce: "Because they are Cynthia," this seemed to further confuse the Sylveon, "remember when you were watching that YouTube Channel about Sylveons? Apparently Sylveons are more than lovable companions, they're effective Dragon Killers! That's why everyone's scared of you."

Cynthia: "Time to make friends?"

Royce: Time to make friends, Cynthia." Royce repeated.
