Chereads / The Power of Evil / Chapter 23 - 23. Top of a Tower

Chapter 23 - 23. Top of a Tower

Princess Alice walked down the corridor and saw the rain outside falling very hard. He smiled in silence extending his hand to feel the cold of the rain. After a long drought that took place in the kingdom of horathomi, it finally rained today.

"Princess Alice. "Jirou and ichiro pay their respects to princess Alice.

Princess Alice was astonished to see the two men drenched. "Are you playing with the rain?"

"Think of it that way, princess Alice. We look back on our childhood with rain, "ichiro says in a happy tone.

"Happy is simple, yes."

"Yes, princess Alice. We'll go in then. "Jirou and ichiro pay their respects to princess Alice and move away.

Princess Alice made her way to prince Edwin's room. He wants to ask you about jerry in there. He overheard ichiro and jirou talking after walking past him. She simply opened the door and called out to her brother without hesitation. However, surprisingly, her older brother was taking off his clothes.

Prince Edwin then put his clothes back on. "Just knock before entering! "He was upset.

Princess Alice speechless. It's the first time she's seen a box belly and her sister's smooth skin. "Oh, my god, you're so handsome," he mumbled unconsciously.

Prince Edwin threw a comb at princess Alice, hitting her on the head. "Rude!"

Princess Alice shook her head quickly. Rubbing a comb in his head. He threw himself out of focus from looking at the view. "I'm sorry. Next time, I'll knock first."

Prince Edwin did the laundry himself. "I took you to my room. Bet you wanted to ask me about jerry, right?"

Princess Alice was silent. "How did you know?"

"I guessed it. Besides, what else would you be doing here if it wasn't jerry?"

"You're right. It's okay, no more small talk. Can you tell me where jerry is now?"

Prince Edwin doesn't want to tell princess Alice. He really wanted his sister away from jerry. Knowing jerry's whereabouts might make his little sister go visit him.

"Why are you standing there? I knew it, you wouldn't tell me, "upset princess Alice. He went straight out of prince Edwin's room.

Prince Edwin went out of his room, then followed princess Alice, who has gone nowhere. He could guess that his sister had run away again. But where did his sister go in the rain like this? While he was circulating his views, he found someone he was interested in. A beautiful woman his age who is now walking around carrying an umbrella in the pouring rain. With the high heels and scantily clothes he rarely saw in this kingdom.

"Who is that woman? "Prince Edwin murmured. He saw her walk over to him smiling. His heart raced to see her grow closer.

"Excuse me, is this the palace of horathomi? "The woman asked. His gentle voice truly enchanted prince Edwin.

After a few seconds, prince Edwin replied: "that is correct. But who are you?"

"I megi, the newly appointed royal adviser to king luis," she said, extending her hand. That was the first time prince Edwin shook a woman's hand.

***

Prince Edwin and megi made their way to king luis's Chambers. They were so good talking that the passing attendants were talking about them.

"Prince Edwin."

A passing royal guard salutes prince Edwin. Megi was surprised, because prince Edwin had not mentioned this earlier. After the palace guards had left, megi became awkward with prince Edwin.

"Eummm lemons Apologies, prince Edwin. It was rude of me to shake the hand of the prince."

"You don't have to apologize. A lot of things you don't actually need to know. I don't feel comfortable overtreating me like that."

"I don't want to be rude to you."

Before long, they arrived in king luis' Chambers. They immediately pay their respects and wait for king luis to speak. "You will be the new royal vizier. Your attire, it must suit the kingdom of horathomi."

Megi is first in the kingdom. She didn't know what clothes she should wear at court. He wore a dress at his home town office, the dugeon city. He even brought a lot of dresses to come to this kingdom.

"Before doing your job, you'd better take a look around the palace."

"Let me take her, dad! "Said prince Edwin. After king luis permission, the two of them left and immediately began a tour around the palace.

Since the palace is so large, it should take up a lot of time. Furthermore, prince Edwin and megi walked and chatted about things that people in the palace might not understand. Because, it's the talk of people overseas. It was then that prince Edwin realized that horathomi's empire was far behind.

"Megi, I hope you can bring a very big change to this kingdom."

***

Seven years later....

Jerry's finally out of the possession. For seven years, he was exiled to a faraway place from horathomi's palace. In the midst of a dense forbidden forest, he was locked up on top of a tower. Prince Edwin has never once provided food. After the exit, he was so thin. Barely a bone left.

Today, he is back for some fresh air. Prince Edwin asked him to return to the palace. But Jerry politely declined. He wants to live a few days in these woods because he doesn't want to go back to the palace in a body like this.

"Be careful, your powers could backfire on you."

That was the last sentence prince Edwin uttered before leaving him in these woods. Now, he feels free to live in this jungle. Her new life is about to begin. Nature would be its abode.

The first day, she tried to take a leisurely stroll in search of edible fruit. Looking for some wood to make a little hut comfortable enough for him to stay in. When night fell, he made a bonfire to keep dangerous animals from showing up.

Jerry sat by the campfire. "I never thought I'd live this way."
