Ten years later…
It snowed heavily in Ukraine on Christmas Day. Many people who want to enjoy the Christmas scenery outside were forced to stay inside the building. For some reason, the snow fell very heavily tonight, almost like a rainstorm in the snowy mountains.
On the other hand, a chill began to fill the coffin that buried Vasili's body inside Vasili Peskhov's grave. The coffin walls turned into ice, and the small animals attached to the coffin froze to death.
It wasn't long before Vasili's eyes opened to reveal brilliant blue eyes. Vasili glanced around him and instantly assumed he was in a coffin.
A second later, his body disappeared and now appeared on the surface of his own grave.
Vasili raised one hand to catch some of the snow that was falling heavily. He realized this snowstorm swirled in this area to welcome his awakening. He waved his hand to stop the snow that was almost forming a snow hurricane. In an instant, the violent storm winds stopped, and the snow was no longer falling.
This strange pheromone left everyone stunned but also delighted. They ignored the peculiar weather and continued their Christmas Eve program with their loved ones.
After confirming that the weather had calmed down, Vasili turned to look at the engraved tombstone of his name.
Vasili Peskhov 1985 – 2027
What? 2027?
Seeing the year, he died made Vasili wince. The last time he remembered, he was still alive until 2047. Why did he die in 2027? So what year is it now?
Vasili used his strength to make his body visible and then leisurely strolled around the area. He thought he would find a typical New York street, but what he found was not at all what he had expected.
This place was Ukraine, where he lived when he was Vasili Peskhov! So he died in Ukraine instead of New York? Well, the name engraved on the tombstone was his previous name... but what happened?
He remembered his last identity was Axelard Cavendish, who was friends with Declan Black and lived in New York. Then why is the gravestone tombstone listed with the name of his previous identity?
Vasili kept walking until he saw a large inscription attached between two tall buildings with ropes tied from one end to the other.
MERRY CHRISTMAS 2037
2037?? Now is 2037? So he had been dead for ten years?
No. That was not the main point. How the hell did he back in the past?!
Vasili clutched his dizzy head, trying to find an answer, but… he couldn't find it at all. Somehow he felt that there was something important that he had forgotten.
He felt like a big hole emerged in his heart, but he didn't know how to close the hole.
Someone was waiting for him… Vasili felt someone was waiting for him, but…
Who was waiting for him? Where is this person? Vasili couldn't remember.
Does… he has amnesia? Or was everything he experienced in New York until 2047 just a dream before he died?
Thousands of questions filled his mind beyond his control. He didn't even know where he could find the answer.
In the end, he decided to return to his original home. He closed his eyes to concentrate his energies and thought of a castle that belonged to his family in England.
If Hamilton took care of his funeral, then Rothbert was waiting for him in Derbyshire castle.
After focusing his mind on his castle's location and concentrating his energy on his teleportation leap, Vasili raised one hand and snapped her fingers once. His body disappeared instantly and was now in his private chamber on his castle.
Ever since the first generation blue king was born in this world, the blue king did an excellent service to the country of England, so that he was awarded the title of a noble. Now the title has been passed down to descendants who are also the blue kings.
However, the age of the blue king was not natural, especially when he has not met his true love. Thus, the blue king's offspring decided to disappear and shifted the title to Hamilton, who faithfully served him and made a vague identity for the blue king.
Only Hamilton knew of the existence of the blue king and the secret of his age beyond the average human age.
Even though the owner of this castle was in the name of the Hamilton family, Rothbert and his family welcomed the actual owner whenever the blue king appeared.
Vasili walked out of his room and headed to the main room. He was sure Rothbart Hamilton was with his family for Christmas.
As expected, Vasili began to hear the sound of cheerful jokes and laughter from the Hamiltons. He walked closer to the room and could see Rothbert celebrating Christmas with his wife and their son.
Vasili cleared his throat to get Rothbert's attention, which also caught the attention of the others. Rothbert looked surprised to see Vasili's arrival but soon was followed by a broad smile on his face.
"Master, you are back!" said Rothbert, delighted to see that the blue king had finally risen from the dead.
Bertha, Rothbart's wife, also smiled happily and bowed respectfully to Vasili to welcome him. "Welcome home, master. I'm glad you're back at last. We've been waiting for you." said Bertha sincerely, which received a friendly nod from Vasili.
Behind Bertha stood a young man who was the only child of Rothbert and his wife. This child's height exceeds both of his parents, even almost equal to Vasili's height, making the blue king smile faintly.
He remembered the last time he saw this boy was when he called him to be the CEO of his company in Seattle, Washington DC. Seeing this child in his youth for the second time made him feel strange and unnatural.
Next to the young man stood a girl in her teens. Seeing the girl looking at him curiously and showing a shy smile made Vasili's eyes soften.
He knew this girl very well. Vasili remembered he adopted this child as his adopted daughter in 2037… which means now.
