THUD
I hear a sound behind me and see Emma Warlock and the person who I helped before watching me.
Emma Warlock watches me with an inconceivable expression and the other person besides her was looking at me with stars in his eyes.
"WOW! you can sing so well!"
The man who I helped before said to me with astonishment in his voice.
Emma Warlock looked quite surprised as well.
"Indeed father he really is a talent"
Emma Warlock also acknowledges it.
"You both are father and daughter"
I ask them bewildered, what a coincidence.
"Yes we are and I think this should be fate right, You helping both my father and me"
Emma Warlock chuckles upon seeing my face and replies.
"Young man let me introduce myself, I am Richard Warlock and I am the director for this movie shooting going on here"
I nod my head in response
"I am Alex Evergreen, a common village boy"
Since the other party has taken the initiative to introduce himself I politely greeted him back.
"I don't think a common village boy can sing that well, You were brilliant"
Well I apart from fighting and drinking the only other thing I did back in my world was to woo pretty girls through singing and sword dancing, So its a given that I am proficient in singing.
"I just casually sing sometimes, I am just a laymen"
"Alex can I meet your parents once?"
Richard Warlock asks me with an exited expression.
"Dad! wait up for a bit, The villagers are helping out the wounded and deal first with Mark Rosewood's death"
So these guys must have come here to see the dead man's body and Richard must have met Emma in my bedroom, Wait a minute.... This means these guys must have heard those insults.
"Did you guys listen?"
I try testing the waters.
"We heard your song from the middle but it was still sufficient to determine your talent"
Emma Warlock says with a smile, So either these guys must have heard it and pretend that they heard nothing or rather they genuinely didn't know anything.
"My parents are out, I will call them back to meet you wait up for a bit"
Saying this I dash out of home to find my parents.
"Dad I didn't expect Jake to have such a character, What a disgusting guy"
Emma Warlock spoke with anger.
"Emma this is the way of world, Winner is King while looser is bandit so it was within my expectations"
Richard says with sigh.
"Dad are you sure about this kid?"
Emma asks him.
"Well he has incredible potential and his background is weak so if I can sponsor him and make him a star in my jurisdiction then we have a good deal"
"True that, He is a good talent"
Meanwhile I go find my dad.
"Dad the guy who you saved before wants to meet you"
My dad seemed to be done rescuing the people so he sat on a bench and was drinking tea.
When he heard this he raised his eyebrows.
"Why did he want to meet me?"
"I don't know, anyways mom also seems to be done so lets head back with sisters and go sleep already"
My dad nodes in response and soon my mom and sisters also come along with us back to home.
When we reach home we find Emma and Richard Warlock in the hall.
Richard Warlock Extends his hand towards my dad.
"Mister Evergreen thank you for saving me and my daughter, I am Richard Warlock and this is Emma, I am the director of the ongoing film"
"Hello Mister Warlock, Honestly it was no big deal for us as we have to deal with avalanches once in a while"
My dad shakes his hand in return and my sisters have stars in their eyes when looking towards Emma Warlock.
"Miss Emma I am your huge fan, can I have your autograph?"
My older sister gives a pen and book from God knows where to Emma.
"I surely will, But I have heard from Alex that you wanted Jake and Mark's Autograph not mine"
This women was doing this on purpose.
Hearing this my sister glares at me.
Seeing this Emma laughs out loud
"Well when I thanked him earlier he wanted to get me their autographs for you so I asked this casually"
After hearing Emma Warlock say this my sister no longer glares at me.
"That's enough Emma stop placing him in a difficult spot"
Richard intervenes causing Emma to stop.
"Mister Evergreen I have a matter to discuss with you"
Richard Spoke with a serious tone.
"Please speak Mister Warlock"
Hearing Richard speak with a serious tone my dad asks out in a polite manner.
"Its regarding Alex, Mister Evergreen did someone teach Alex how to sing?"
Hearing this my dad shows a puzzled expression and looks towards my mother.
My mother shook her head indicating no in response.
"Well no one has taught Alex how to sing, Mister Warlock is something to matter regarding this?"
Hearing this Richard seemed relaxed and spoke immediately
"I would like to ask if whether you are interested in making Alex a star?"
"Huh? I don't understand what you are trying to convey Mister Warlock"
My dad asks with a bewildered expression.
"Well I have heard Alex singing just a while ago, He is extremely talented and I would like to groom him into a star"
Richard says with a smile.
Hearing his my family member's jaw's drop and all of them look at me.
"Are you sure Mister Warlock?"
Well My family's reaction was understandable, They never seen me sing so they will require time to digest this piece of information.
"I am absolutely sure, If you agree I will immediately discuss the details of contract"
Richard says calmly with a smile on his face.
My dad looks at me and turns back to Richards
"Can we say our decision during morning, This is an important decision in his life so we need a bit of time"
Hearing my dad say this Richard has the same face and smiles as if he was expecting this.
"Sure thing Mister Evergreen, we will meet you tomorrow"
Saying this Emma and Richard take their leave.
"Holy Fuck Alex what the hell just happened"
My older sister screams frantically.
"Jane watch your Language, Alex explain what happened"
My dad speaks up.
"Well I sat outside after you said me to deliver the body in the courtyard and I wanted to sing a song so I just went with the flow, Only to find these two to listen to it and they said me that they would like to meet you"
Hearing my explanation everyone gets a idea of the situation.
"Since when did learn singing?"
My mother asks me.
"I always liked to sing but I was afraid people would laugh at me, So I just sing sometimes when I am alone"
Hearing this my mother and sisters laugh, I cannot say them that I was a reborn hero so I needed to make this excuse which was easily believable.
"Well what are your thoughts Alex, This is your choice"
