Chapter 7 - Questions

"Father why is the physician with you?" Theo asked after he had seen the physician walk into his room.

" The physician us here to evaluate your health condition" King Xerxes replied with a stern look on his face.

"Do I look sick? Father I hate it when you do this" Theo said in a mannerless tone.

"You better watch words that you spill. You better let the physician carry out his duties or you'll have me to contend with" King Xerxes said as he sat on the couch close to his bed where Theo lay.

"My prince it's all for your...." The physician said but was interrupted by Theo who said

"Don't let those words come out of your mouth"

"Let me carry out my duties as the Royal physician" The physician replied as he untied his bag and brought out his equipment.

The physician mood changed as soon as he looked into Theo's teeth. He said to King Xerxes whilst bowing his head.

"Your majesty permit my words. Can you make do a room for both of us"

"Ok but I would want a detailed information about all this" King Xerxes replied as he walked out of the room. ft

The physician stared into the eyes of Theo. Theo got very uncomfortable with his looks so he asked

"What's with your weird looks?"

"I would love to ask you few questions" The physician said as he brought out an ink box, a feather and a paper.

" Where you ever bitten by an animal or a weird being?"

"None that I remember" Theo replied with a big smile on his face.

"When was the last time you went out of the palace" The physician asked with a firm look on his face

"Last night" Theo answered.

"What was your purpose of going out?" The physician asked with an interrogating look on his face.

"I went out to embrace the realms of nature's beauty at night" Theo said laughing hysterically.

"Did you meet anyone?" The physician asked

"Yes.. no I didn't see anyone. Just few animals of the forest" Theo lied

"Did you fight anyone or anything last night?"

"It says here that you've been bitten by some weird creature. It surprises me that no marks were found in your body" The physician said hoping for a better reply from Theo

"Well I can't say much. If that's all the questions you have. Take it to my father or shove it in your balls sack" Theo said out of anger.

" I'll definitely take it to your father. Thank you" The physician replied as he stood up, packed his equipment and walked out of the room.

"Something is really wrong with you and I'll definitely find out" The physician muttered to himself as he opened the door.

King Xerxes was right outside waiting for him.

"What's wrong with Theo?"

The physician said as he remembered that false report could cost him his life. So he stayed on the positive side and answered

"He's alright"

Theo was happy when he heard the physician's response to his father's question.

Theo's P.OV

Was I really bitten by some weird creature? What did you do to me Eve? I'll come for you.

"Dad I need a personal maid" Theo said with a smile on his face

"What's your agenda for that?" King Xerxes said looking straight into his eyes.

King Xerxes wanted his sons to obey the custom and tradition of his kingdom.

Xerxes grand father broke his virginity before he shifted and got his wolf. Xerxes father did the same thing and also Xerxes.

King Xerxes made it clear to his sons that no one would have anything to do with a woman until after the shifting period.

His sons were all willing to abide by this rule but that was when they were tender now that they're all grown up things could change.

"I really need someone who would take care of me. Men servants make me feel like I'm gay and I can't just bear the thoughts of that." Theo said in a mild tone trying to convince his father.

"That's not happening Theo. Don't even think about it" King Xerxes warned Theo.

"When the people start talking you'll be ready to do that for me" Theo said with a smile on his face.

King Xerxes quite understood what Theo meant. He was afraid of what might happen if Theo breaks his rule.

"Ok I'll assign someone for you" King Xerxes replied and was happy that he had placed a smile on his face.

"Thank you Father. Do you mind I would love to rest my head and cool it down from this family nostalgic attitude of recent" Theo said while pulling the bed sheets over his body.

"It's your space. Have it all for yourself" King Xerxes said feeling fulfilled that Theo wore a smile on his face.

Titan walked around the castle, giving out advances to maid servants. Titan was fond of them all.

At times he would gather them all at night and tell tales of the past king's and war victories of the kingdom.

Titan loved research. He loved making findings about the past culture, customs and traditions of his kingdom.

"Oh my prince. What brings you to our abode?" A beautiful maid servant asked him.

"Your beauty radiance lured me here" Titan replied in a romantic voice.

"Why do you hold us in high esteem?" A maid asked him with a wild sense of humor.

"Everyone is equal before the gods. Why trade respect for arrogance and pride?" Titan replied.

"Oh my prince you speak with so much wisdom" A maid said with a smile on her face.

"It's all the blessings of the gods" Titan replied as he bid them farewell, flaunting his shoulders high in pride and self contempt.

"I'll need to see Theo now that the physician has left the palace" Titan muttered to himself as he walked into the palace gallery.

It's a shortcut to Theo's chambers. He walked so fast that he didn't realize what he had reached Theo's door so he barges in only to be cautioned by Theo who shouted in disdain and anger.

"Leave my room this minute or I'll do something you'll regret"

"Like I care. " Theo replied in a mannerless tone.

Theo saw this as an act of disrespect and he had to object to it.

Theo felt an energy he had never felt before. He stood up so fast and pinned Titan to the wall.

"Theo am sorry. Please put me down you're hurting me" Titan pleaded.

Theo released his grasp on him. Titan quickly ran for his life.

"I shouldn't have done that to him. What's really happening to me?. I can't handle or think straight. I'll go back to that forest and find you Eve. You have a lot of questions to answer." Theo said to himself with his hands crossed over his head.
