Well where is he? Sir Boris impatiently asked upon sighting ona. He was in the royal duel arena training his body when the soul piercing alarm began blaring. Knowing what it meant he had a smug look on his face as he sped fast to the location they all agreed to meet.
H-he's inside.. ona nervously spoke standing at the entrance of the door. Boris could see she was hiding something but he didn't care.
then get out of the way. Boris frowned shoving ona to the side. The latter's mind raced on what to say seeing Boris hand just inches away from the fingerprint scanner on the wall.
Wait you can't enter! Ona blurted out causing Boris to pause in his tracks. Turning he had a scowl on his face his eyes piercinfg into ona's soul making her take a step back.
And why is that? His aura could be seen seeping out his body slowly quickly enveloping the area.
Shit.. his aura it's just like Troy's. Ona inwardly said struggling to breathe under the influence of sir Boris aura. She was the commander of the royal guards in Lumia kingdom and she wasn't weak in the slightest. After troy and Lumia was her on the power rankings scale but right now she was sitting duck.
B-because he needs to rest. Ona came up with a white lie. She didn't know why she said that maybe due to the fact she was choking from Boris aura.
Now now Boris that's no way to treat a lady. Turning round Boris could see eldren calmly approaching them causing him to scowl a bit dispersing his aura.
Phough phough.. thank you sir eldren. Ona softly said to which eldren casually waves his hand as nothing.
Now child would you care to tell us why we can't enter the room? Eldren asked in a soft tone staring into her eyes. She also noticed Boris was still staring at her a vein bulging on his forehead.
Err t-the king he's-
He's what? Come in spill it out. Boris frowned folding his arms together seeing ona still stalling. He didn't have a lot of patience infact he had very little and it was running out.
Placing his hand on her shoulder eldren chuckled a bit shoving some strands of hair from his view. You can tell us anything ona. The king's safety is just as much important to us as it is to you.
Sighs* fine.. the king h-he's lost his memory. Ona finally blurted out in a heavy tone. The duo looked at each other weirdly before returning their focus back to ona.
What do you mean he's lost his memory? Boris frowned raising a brow finding what ona just said hard to believe.
It's true.. he didn't recognize me at all no matter how hard I tried to make him remember. I fear he's suffering from memory loss because of well.. everything that's happened. Ona frantically said with worry in her tone. It was her duty to protect the king and the kingdom as she'd sworn an oath but she failed.
Knowing troy well and his power level she was confident he could handle himself without the support of the guards. Though she had some bits of doubt but she still kept her faith in troy as he'd never lost a battle no matter how brutal it was.
It's my fault if only I was there for them. She felt guilty as she had a small part in Troy's defeat. If only she'd payed more attention to fight than focusing on the spectators then maybe she might've aided troy and prevented lumia's capture.
It was likely to happen he's been in a coma for 2 years don't beat yourself up about it. Eldren said with a smile to which ona nodded. Her guilt lessening.
Placing his hand to his chin eldren seemed to be thinking about something. Raising his head up he snapped his finger as an idea popped up in his head.
I've got it! You can open the door now. Eldren excitedly said. Hesitating a bit ona was reluctant in letting them in. She'd tried all she could to make troy regain his memories but unfortunately it didn't work.
I hope this works.. placing her palm to the scanner it shone green with the titanic door going back a bit then sliding open. Walking in they could see troy sitted on the king sized bed his body bandaged.
Noticing them troy raised his head up he looked confused not recognizing them at all just like ona had stated.
Who are you people and what am I doing here? Troy asked already on his feet panicking a bit his senses on high alert with the arrival of the duo.
Calm down your majesty.. they are friends we aren't here to hurt you. Ona calmly spoke gently walking to Troy placing her hand to his shoulder giving him light pats. The latter seemed to have calmed down a bit as he wasn't paranoid unlike before.
Bastard you always did know how to steal the attention. Boris grunted earning a nudge from eldren.
Hello again old friend I know you don't recognize me but I assure you we're very much acquainted. Eldren smiled slowly making his way to Troy's location. Allow me re-introduce myself. I am eldren son of ethereal and ruler of eldom.
Crouching down troy flinched a bit but ona calmed him. The former could see eldren lean close whispering some words into his ears.
You have to remember troy. Darlene is counting on you and so is Lumia along with the whole kingdom. Hearing those names Troy's eyes widened a bit as his heart sunk he could feel an energy rising in him spreading throughout his whole body.
Salabad nam nuctar.. eldren spoke those foreign words into Troy's ear getting up.
Eldren what did you do? Boris frowned seeing a dim gold light emitting from Troy's body getting brighter by the passing second.
Oh I just reminded him of who he is. Eldren smiled standing besides Boris. He then gestured for ona to leave there to which she didn't oblige sensing what was about to happen.
The soft golden light emitting from troy got brighter and brighter causing them to shade their eyes from the blinding light. Pure raw energy pulsed out from troy swirling around him with sheer power.
Bam! A gunshot sound went of as the built up energy exploded everywhere destroying some items in the room. The walls also weren't spared as there were now visible crack lines running along them.
Well that was unexpected. Eldren smirked dispersing the white orb engulfing them. He could see troy was now up his body healed to some extent as the injuries he'd sustained previously were no longer there.
Y-your majesty.. are you alright? Ona softly asked wondering what just happened. She didn't know if sir eldren's formula had worked but she kept her fingers crossed.
Do you know where you are old fart? Boris smirked playfully teasing troy.
Of course Boris.. how could I ever forget my hot headed brickwall. Troy smirked steadily walking over and giving Boris a hug. It was unexpected so Boris was caught off guard as a tint of red could be seen on his cheeks.
E-ehhm! That's enough now come on you're a grown man get off. Boris grunted tapping Troy's back. The latter just shrugged off Boris childish attitude his attention shifting to the elf besides him.
Eldren how many ages has it been? Troy let out a weak laugh clutching his chest. His body was still in pain even though it had healed to some extents so any slight movements would hurt as hell.
Careful now your body might've healed on the outside but your still hurt on the inside. Giving a weak smile troy nodded slightly. He knew eldren was right as he could feel it. Even though he'd healed his wounds externally he was still badly hurt on the inside and it would take some time to heal.
A-am sorry your majesty. Ona suddenly blurted out some balls of tears slipping down her eyes. I failed to protect you and princess Lumia was kidnapped. I deserve and accept every punishment you throw at me.
Looking at her troy didn't know what to say he felt a mixed emotions recalling the past events. The fact that he was sentenced to die by his own daughter was traumatizing. Leaving a deep scar in his chest, literally.
Nonsense you're duty is not only to me and Lumia but the kingdom also. If it isn't for you I won't alive today so I must say thank you. Troy smiled bowing his head slightly.
Y-your majesty please you shouldn't. My loyalty is to you the princess and the kingdom.
Oh come on enough with the drama already.. the princess is still held captive by our.. ehhm! Enemy. Boris awkwardly said staring at troy.
It's alright. As far as am concerned Lynn is an enemy of the kingdom. She has decided the path she wants to go down in history as there's nothing I can do. Troy shook his head a bit of sadness and anger in his tone.
