petty demon

part 13's

A man is seen holding a wine glass in his hand. Sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. His lips occasionally sipped a drink in the glass.

"Your Majesty, when are we leaving?" Asked the man behind her gently.

"Howen, should we go home?" Alexis looked at Howen doubtfully. "Today I didn't realize I was going home. Better not go home, let him come."

"A.. What are you talking about?" Tanya Howen did not understand.

"He said he was looking for a fugitive, but Uncle Torn said he was looking for me. Am I at large? What if it's just a trap?" Alexis looked at Howen worriedly.

"You're overreacting." Howen tried to calm down.

"I'm not ready to die yet." Alexis looked at Howen tearfully.

"I'll protect you, you promised to come. You better get ready soon."

"What if I told someone to disguise themselves as me, Uncle Torn didn't say that King Malbork was his son." Alexis tried to find a way out.

"Hm.. I think it's something irresponsible." Howen tried to convince Alexis.

"All right, let's go. We can take the longest road to get there. What about walking?" Alexis's Proposal.

Howen approached Alexis and helped the young prince get up from his seat. "Come! I'll open the door for you."

Alexis was seen resigned when Howen took him inside the door they used to go to Aldwick.

*****

The door opens right at the entrance to Aldwick. Alexis stared intently at Howen beside her.

"Howen, why don't you just kill me?" Alexis stared at Howen emotionlessly.

"Sorry Your Majesty" Howen lowered his head. "Should we go back home?" Tawar Howen again.

"Of course, forget. We're home, where are you taking me?" Alexis took a long breath.

Instead of entering the palace Alexis immediately turned back to step away from the palace. Making Howen stare at Alexis was filled with a sense of confusion. "Yes.. Your Majesty, where are you going?" Howen soon followed Alexis' move.

"I'm hungry, we'd better eat first." Answer Alexis flat.

"Wouldn't there be a banquet if there's a royal guest coming." Sahut Howen's.

Alexis looked at Howen in frustration. "What if the bad guy doesn't feed me? You know he wouldn't care even if I ate a hellhound." Alexis immediately stepped up in annoyance ahead of Howen.

Bruck...

"Jessie.. I told you to watch." a mother's nagging scolding on her son who just hit Alexis.

"It's okay, don't worry." Alexis smiled looking at the little boy in front of her.

"I'm sorry, my daughter she she. "the woman froze to look at the man before her, and so did Alexis.

"Bie.. Aunt Beryl?" Alexis looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.

"Pa.. Prince!" Call Beryl in doubt. "A.. You're still alive." a puddle of clear water was seen starting to appear in the woman's eyes.

Alexis was smiling awkwardly. "Hmmm.. There are some people... "

Beryl immediately hugged Alexis with a sobbing that began to break. Alexis looks awkward, but she tries to calm Beryl down. "Bie.. Aunt calm down people will think I did something to you." Alexis whispered to Beryl who was now in her arms.

Beryl immediately took off her arms and took Alexis to her house.

"Your prince wants to drink something?" beryl asked as soon as they got to Beryl's house.

"He won't let you stay in the palace?" As Alexis asked while sitting on one of the chairs in the living room, Alexis' eyes scanned the small, simple house.

"Mr Aiden wants us to stay outside the palace for a while." Beryl.

"You married her?" Alexis didn't believe it.

Beryl just smiled shyly with a flushed face.

"Hw... You didn't even invite me. Auntie you're hurting my heart." Alexis pretended to put on her sad face.

"Mother, who's this sister?" Ask Princess Beryl to him.

"Jessie, he's Prince Alexis." Clear Beryl soft.

"So he's the lonely prince, who you always tell me about?" Jessie looked at Beryl with her round eyes.

"Jessie, you better get in the room first. I want to have a serious talk with this sister."

"All right." Jessie smiled and ran into her room.

"Auntie you changed a lot, you got shorter." Alexis smiled gently.

"That's because you're getting taller, Your Majesty." Beryl smiled.

"Prince?" Beryl started to tear up.

"Auntie's still a whiny." Alexis chuckled as she watched Beryl wipe away her tears.

"When will you meet His Majesty? Do I need to call Mr Aiden to take you?" Beryl looked at Alexis meaningfully.

"He's your husband but you still call him master, that sounds funny aunt." Alexis smiled at her mother's former servant. "I'll go there myself, I just want to prepare myself."

"Calm down, everything's gonna be okay." Beryl rubbed Alexis' back gently. "I'd better prepare some food for the two of you, just wait a minute."

*****

"Master, I found Prince Alexis." Report someone to Rhodri who is standing staring out the window. "He's at Aldwick."

Rhodri turned to look at the person who had just delivered a report to her. "You sure? After all this time you've been looking for him and he's been in Aldwick all this time?" Rhodri looked at the faithful man in disbelief.

"I think Prince Alexis has been moving around all this time." Evidently.

"Kc... I'll take care of him, where is he now?" Ask Rhodri.

"At home, Mrs Beryl is Mr Aiden's wife."

"Finally we'll see each other again." Rhodri muttered and immediately stepped out.

"Aunt thanks for the food." Alexis smiled then crouched down to look at Jessie Princess Beryl. "How old are you?" Alexis smiled softly.

Jessie clasped her body to Beryl and clasped her mother's dress tightly. "E.. Four years." Sluggishly.

"You're so pretty, I wish I could visit you sometime." Alexis stroked the little girl's soft brown hair. "Well, I better get going." Alexis stood up and left Beryl's house.

"Be careful Prince." Beryl smiled gently as she waved her hand.

"Howen, when are you getting married?" Alexis glanced at Howen.

"When are we going to see His Majesty the King?" Howen looked at Alexis.

"Ahhhhhhhh.. Howen, why aren't you listening to me today? You always act the opposite of what I want." Alexis looked at Howen in frustration.

"I do what's best for you." Howen gave an excuse.

"Kc.. Do whatever you want." Alexis Mumbled.

As they walked leisurely through the streets of the capital Aldwick, some people rode their horses quickly. Some people who had initially walked quietly immediately moved aside giving way to the horsemen. Instead Alexis stopped silent in place as if letting the men hit her.

The horses neighing stopped as they reached Alexis. The whole horse looked agitated and moved around here and there. Makes the riders a little angry.

"Hey, you!! Get off our road. You know we're the messengers the king sent." Shouted one of them at the front.

Alexis let out a long sigh and looked at Howen. "Hm... You better get out of the way before I do something worse." Alexis warned.

"Ha!! Who are you to rule us?" Ask again with emotion.

"I? I'm a royal guest, I'm being invited by your King." Answer Alexis.

"Don't joke, our King... "

"Enough!!" Someone stepped forward by riding his horse slowly.

Alexis glanced at the horseman. A moment Alexis sighed and immediately turned her face lazily.

"Who are you at Aldwick's palace without permission?" Asked the gray-armored man loudly.

"No, I just answered. Don't you be deaf." Alexis smiled mockingly.

"Did the royal guest look like this? No presents, no guards and no royal chariots? Is a messenger on foot?" Ask the man again.

"I've sent you a gift. I also have a bodyguard. Why didn't you tell me I needed a horse-drawn carriage to visit this kingdom? You should have told me."

Alexis flicked his fingers and before long a dark circle appeared behind him, from there appeared a pair of white horses pulling a small white horse carriage with a gold alloy on each carving. At the top of the train are beautiful carvings with a flag of the royal coat of arms of Malbork golden phoenix. The train stops next to Alexis and the dark circle disappears.

A coachman was seen saluting him. As everyone gaped at the appearance of the horse crete, Howen immediately stepped towards Alexis dressed in the royal robes of Malbork, not to forget a beautiful crown with a golden phoenix ornament on the front of the crown. Do not forget the sprinkling of precious stones adorn the crown.

"Hows it? Now I'm more than worthy, right?" Alexis looked at Rhodri who was still on his horse.

"You're still arrogant." Rhodri muttered annoyedly.

"Wouldn't that be normal, it would look weird if you were bragging." Alexis grinned at Rhodri.

"What?" Rhodri jumped down from her horse and walked closer towards Alexis.

"Nothing, I just want to say that no matter how much effort you put in you will never be comparable to me. By the time you become a prince, I'll be king. So, just stop not pushing yourself too much. I honestly got a little fuckin' on you." Alexis immediately turned towards his carriage.

"All the work I do is never in vain. Just look you'll be sorry, I'll take everything that's been taken from me." Rhodri murmured in frustration.
