As I personally escorted Albern to his room he seemed worried about something
Orion: "what's the matter?" What could he be so worried about?.
Albern: "N-nothing my lord" he said trembling
Orion: "well I don't believe that, speak" I said
Albern: "why…why did you throw Letizia out?"
He questioned me why?
"Well she stabbed me in the back more than once, making secret exchange's without my permission, and betrayed my trust for the last time, you understand she was the one who planted the gold leaf on you to make it seem as if you stole it?"
"…" Albern kept quiet As we walked down the hall.
Orion: "Albern where did you come from? you don't look like any of the others around here"
Albern: "My Lord I am simply an ordinary being from below I was brought here not too long ago, I'd say it's been about two months"
Orion: "well From today on-ward you are now my personal gaurd, but I really just want someone to talk to, I get lonely sometimes too, and you look around the same age as me, how old are you?"
Albern: "I'm 18 my Lord"
Orion: "I see well you are a year older than me, well I mean older than my body" I told him in a funny tone. Albern looked confused
Albern: "what do you mean by that?" He asked.
Orion: "Well I'm actually 1017 years old I've ruled this country since the late king Stoic" I said to him
Albern: "Does that mean that you look different every time your reborn?"
Orion: "Here let me explain, about 17 years ago I died, I died because I had an execution planned, I was betrayed and cast out. When I died I was re-born below or might I say the woman that was supposed to give birth to me went below. And no I do not look different, I look the same as I did before I died. The only difference is the age of my body once I turn 18 my body will stop growing and I will stay that way. This is immortality. Do you understand? it's not something I like to talk about so let's not mention it again, K?"
Albern: "yes my lord"
Orion: "Well this is your room, my room is just across from it, have a good sleep I'll see you in the morning"
Albern: "Um my lord shouldn't I be guarding you at all times? Even when you're sleeping?"
Orion: "No Albern it's all right, good night"
As I walked away I could feel that Albern was concerned and worried as to if he should do as I said or to secretly guard.
"Go to sleep Albern!" I yelled as I closed my door.
What a peculiar boy. I can tell we'll get very close. It saddens my heart to know that all these precious souls will die someday.
THE NEXT MORNING …
Abern: "Good morning my lord"
Orion: "Good morning indeed Albern"
Albern: "Where shall we go today my lord?"
Orion: "Hmmm… I think we shall go get you some new clothes, it looks like my people haven't taken very good care of you and I need some fresh air. plus I need to get away from Indie before she gets back"
Albern: "who's Indie?"
Orion: "she's like a older sister to me, and let me tell ya, she's a whole lot of mean, so don't get on her bad side please, now let's go into the city"
Amber: "But my lord we can't you have work to do"
Orion: "since when did you become my secretary it's fine"
Albern: "As you wish my lord" he replied
Orion: "Albern call me "my lord" one more time and see what happens, I told you call me Orion"
Albern: "but-"
Orion: "no but's, and do what I tell you, you make it weird by calling me that all the time, and make me feel older"
Albern:"I understand Orion" but my lord is older way older than anyone I've ever known.
Orion: "Good, now all you need to do is be less formal with me and be more casual"
Albern: "Ok?" He said wondering if "ok" was casual enough
"Perfect! See your getting better already"
LATER ON...
Orion: "finally! welcome to the city Albern"
the lights were on and buildings were made of gold and silver the ground was all stone and smooth. As we walked around the city looking at clothes Albern never once looked at anything twice. Once he said no, he meant no. There was a couple of times I tried to get him some things and he strongly refused them. I learned something that day, Albern has self awareness and self control. He's responsible for his age but also clumsy.
Orion: "Albern we'll take a cart back to the castle, alright?"
Albern: "sure, Orion"
as we got in the carriage I remembered something.
Orion:" hey Albern, do you want to go and bring food to the less fortunate in the lower city?"
Albern: "you would do that?"
Orion: "I grew up in that part of the city when I was young"
Albern: " ya, that would be nice" he grew up there?
Orion: " there will be fire works too, have you ever seen fire works albern?"
Albern: " no I have not, I wasn't allowed since I've been a slave ever since I was born"
Orion: "well todays your lucky day we can stop by for a bit and watch the fireworks with the children"
Albern seemed somewhat excited to see the fire works, when we get there i'll have to tell him more about Indie.
