"Prince Rao!" Aiden shouted from the other side of the room. He looked frightened as he stared at me, probably torn between if he should be approaching me at the moment or not. There could be enemy attacking us from an unexpected side. But he fought against his hesitation and ran up to me, "Are you okay?!?"
I felt bad for not being able to answer him and making him worried. But I had no strength left in me to have the luxury to talk. My head was dizzy along with the stinging pain numbing all my senses. The worried voice of his calling my name getting more fainted within second.
From the corner of my eyes, I could see some white figure running to us. Which I assumed was May. She was too kneeling down and bursting in to tears. I wasnt de!d yet, why are they crying?
But the very next second I thought that, my body started to betray me. I couldnt keep my eyes open any longer as they felt so heavy. My vision started to fade out. If its meant to be my last moment, I knew one thing for sure.
We won this fight.
The next time I opened my eyes, A week had already passed. But for me, It felt like a short nap. The news of me waking up had caused a chaos around the kingdom. In a good way of course. They even arraged a festival to celebrate my recovery.
Once the physician was done prescribing my medicines, May walked in. She looked a lot better than before. She looked happy I must say. Im glad she was able to leave her past behind.
I may have expected her to shout at me for being so reckless out there but instead she greeted me with a bow "Welcome back, King Rao." I was taken back for sure but then I realised, I was the king now.
Noticing my silence, May decided to clear my confusions, "You're finallly the king now. The whole kingdom is celebrating your arrival.
You should get prepared for the ceremony."
The palace held a celebration the whole next day. Many royals from different kingdoms came to attend it.
I tried to keep up with the image of the king the whole time but It was too sudden for me. I may have even forgotten few rules along the way which would take me a long time to memorize again.
Being called the king, wasnt something I wanted. Of course I grew up hearing that this day would eventually come. But it was too soon.
I tried to talk with FT but he refused to talk with me until the ceremony ends. Later He ordered me to be present in a place with Aiden and May.

I followed the map and It leads up to the Forest. There I saw FT standing between few lights.
R,"It's not their to worry about. Why did you call them here?"
Ft,"Since You decided to Leave, I cant bear to see The Rowan kingdom without a king. It will turn out to be the destruction I saw."
R,"What do you want me to do...? I never wanted these from the first place."
FT,"I already told them everything.
These two were the one who helped you achieve the kingdom back.
May helped you with soldiers from her kingdom. This might never be possible without it.
Aiden Helped you kill King Carson.
Before you Leave, You must Hand one of them the Throne."
R,"…"
M,"Dont be pressured Rao. It's all up to you. You can have it back once you return."
R,"Aiden....you've been quiet the whole time. What do you think?"
He suddenly kneeled infront me.
A,"Hand it over to May, Your majesty.
Im leaving this place. I want to travel around the world."
R,"If It's your choice then....May it is."
Ft,"It's time for you to go."
R,"(I've been preparing myself so long for this day...It's finally here.)"
I turned around and walked inside the door.
A light shined at me. I could see an end of it.

I woke up and found myself in a bed. Everything around me was so different than where I came from. Since I saw it all in my dreams, It wasnt that hard for me to accept it.
I looked up to the person's memory and recalled every person he mwt until now.
Most of them are my own. They all rebirth again in this time.
Can I find her too?
