Kronos
“… darling. Come here, dear.”
Mother?
“Come here sit…”
I see my mother, smiling at me as she makes a gesture to me to come over.
There is a sweet scent in the air every time I come here with her. Her sweet hand that rests on my head always held a secret warmth. I could never define.
“Mother, why do you always come here?”
“White roses… Kronos remember them… ”
I’m sure she was about to say something more. What was it again?
My memories as a young boy once an everlasting sweet dream were now starting to diminish.
Her warmth felt distant… What is happening?
An annoying voice brought me back to the present.
“What is all this fuss about?” that shiny bald head with a moist grease; wearing a filthy mask of a Minister which he doesn’t deserve, he addressed to the crowd.
I wonder what caused him to work up all of the sudden after taking someone else’s glory as his own.
I know his kind very well.
Power and wealth but lacking in thinking; Even so that’s what you get with the power of money.
(Not that I can lecture him on it after all we all are tainted in this stuck up mud and everyone else present here.)
Just as I was getting bored hearing him spouting nonsense.
I looked around I saw a strange woman.
She was dressed improperly; fizzy hair, ill-fitting clothes… what a mess. But her hair…
What I heard from her was shocking; she spoke in words I have never heard of before.
When her eyes started to look everywhere but me, I felt a certain, unreadable something lurking there,
Something not expressed in her appearance.
(It’s not a positive feeling, but…)
* THUMP *
MY heart pounded hard once, throbbing in my chest.
Is she the one I’m looking for I couldn’t help but think about it?
The sensation seems like a sign of a new beginning.
I find it oddly pleasant.
What is she hiding under that innocent appearance of hers?
I want to expose her…
I think I’ll start by… testing her right now.
Rising on my feet, I kiss her on the back of her hand.
I continue to gaze straight into her luminous eyes.
The meeting was meant to be a time killer, but... it looks like it’s things are going to be pretty much entertaining.
An entertaining way to kill the time.
Little do I know, this will be the beginning of the biggest and the best moments of my life.
And that this woman’s true identity hides in that balance.
After I took her into the room.
Is she like all the other women out there? Thinking about that I looked with a scornful eye.
She said these to me it was quite some interesting words. With that irritated look on her face. Till now never a woman has looked at me like this, it’s sure she isn’t like other women out there.
When I left the room the expression on her face was hilarious.
* * * *
That lost sheep has been noisy since I met her, since morning.
She screamed in front of the bathroom I’m sure she wasn’t crazy when I first saw her and the way she looked left and right. I almost thought that I judged her wrong.
Right before doing that super stair-case handrail move I couldn’t help but laugh at her stupidity.
She needs to learn to look up and down too here… a wrong move here could cause her head.
‘So you’re here miss, lost’ Excitement bubbles up inside me as I watch her get startled.
“So what was that you said me back there in the room, ‘Oh cocky huh you little… Yeah, that is how you look.’ What does that mean?”
No matter how many times I have seen her panicked face till now I never get sick of it.
“No, it was nothing just I was saying that you look hot with your alligator I mean- your lovely long hair.”
“Sounds pretty short for that many lines that you have said.” Of course, I knew it was a lie.
I walked away; but… that night I couldn’t help and think about her. The way she didn’t seem very frightened in front of those useless Ministers and the court assembly.
She is an unusual sheep.
I’ve heard that humans refuse to trust things they don’t know and can’t understand.
Other humans, I’ve encountered fall to the ground in shock when they see us.
Making up excuses tell them they’re dreaming.
Foolish creatures.
* * * *
What kind of birds nest is that… hilariously ridiculous. Because of her, these days are pretty entertaining.
I would like to keep her as a handmaiden; …Her beauty was undesirable beautiful.
Only if she would keep her mouth shut.
I notice Catina’s eyes on me.
“What’s wrong?” I asked her
I show her my nice behaviour for one minute, and this is what she goes and asks...
“W-What are you doing?”
I can’t help but sigh before taking another step towards her.
I was in such a good mood, enjoying my thoughts why did she have to go and ruin it.
Catina looks away nervously sensing something…
But it’s too late
I wanted to tease her but I thought an even better use of her and I introduce her to a teacher.

Harold came and disturbed ME just when I was about to speak to her I wish I could cut off his tongue right that moment.
This is too early I knew this day would come but I didn’t know it would be this soon.
I marched my way towards the drawing-room.
“I have said you a million times now it’s done no more of this”
“HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?!”
'Her voice is freaking loud can she shut up not that I can tell her that I just didn’t feel like wasting my breathe anymore on these useless talks if she can’t wrap the truth around her head there is nothing more for me to say,' I concluded in my head.
I get up to leave I hear her another nonsense.
“Where are you going I’m not done yet!” she screamed.
“Anyways I’m done and I have a much more important engagement prior before you came in unannounced like this think about your actions.”
“You can’t leave me like that!!”
“I can watch me.”
And I left her behind I knew she will follow me I left a sigh.
Kimberly is too much headache I can’t believe that woman dared to come here and question me. What does this duke’s daughter think of herself I need to look away to keep them quiet.
What can I do…? Just an amazing plan hit my head.
Lost sheep time for you to prove your worth to me...
……
I rushed out of the library.
“GUARDS! Get Sir. Harold and castle guards towards the east wing training ground.”
“Your Highness did you ask for my presence.”
“Sir. Harold, we need to get our guests comfortable here. So we need ….everyone to hide from our guest what kind of work we do; Do you all understand!”
“Any objections?” Of course, they must not have any unless they are bold enough to tell me that.
“No sir!”
“Only until it is extremely necessary or if gets revealed you all are allowed to do so.”
“If it is clear you are dismissed!”
It's good that it went all smoothly all I have to do is let him fall.

“Guard Call Sir. Harold and Sir Liam to my study within five minutes.”
“We would need to be lost- I mean Miss. Ellison's consent,” Harold said in his unusual formal voice.
“What is the use? Pardon Your Highness but the lady does not seem to be cooperative with anything we say.” Liam exclaimed.
Harold in a firm manner continued, ”Miss Ellison’s rare blond hair would easily attract the attention we need to fulfil.” I interfered “I do think the same as Harold that Ellison is a suitable candidate.” (I wonder if she would even agree with us.)
“We need to explain to her the situation and train her would take a lot of time about a year for her to learn all the manners and all the manner to speak,” Liam said.
“Liam we don’t have that much time to explain her every tiny detail. I still have a lot of things to do and to be taken care of.” I said dismissing his opinion and continued.“Well as long as she doesn't cause any trouble for our plan-”
* BAM *
I turned at the loud bang on the door.
“What is it?” I hissed.
“Your H-Highness, ma- ma..dame madame has escaped!” My my~ she chooses to do such a stupid move at this hour of the night?
“Harold” I looked at him in a knowing glace
“Yes my lord the preparations will be done.’
“Everyone back to your positions!” I barked my orders.
“Red knight scout Sir. Alex and Sir. Liam comes with me.”
Damn it that forest isn’t fun and fairy-like at night especially if you don’t know the place
“If anyone is near or if she gets in danger assassinate them. I give you full permission.” I said to them without turning back to look at them.
I marched my way towards the forest to find my dear little lost sheep.
