I woke up at 5 O'clock as always and someone was sleeping beside me, it freaked me out because no one has ever been able to intrude in my house. I turned to see who it was and felt relived. The memories of yesterday put a smile on my face.
"smiling suits you.."
"you were awake?"
"apparently…" he laughed. And I turned red.
"have you ever been in a relationship?" he asked
"as a matter of fact. No I have never been in a relationship. I never had any such interactions with any man and it is the truth."
" seriously! That means that you are a.."
"yes I am a virgin prince."
"woah! I really didn't expect that."
"Anyway I gotta eat breakfast and head to the gym."
" I'am coming with you!" he replied
I took a bath and got ready in my gym attire and headed to the kitchen. And Russell came after some time in shorts only. My father came down the stairs wearing a grey business suit.
"Dad, what's up with the suit?"
" Meeting with James." He replied
" why?" I asked
" basement."
"take Ray and leon."
"already told them"
"I didn't understand." Russell said from beside me.
" its nothing. Just his personal stuff." I replied
"you will understand with time son. Don't be in a hurry." My father said with a smile.
I made pan cakes and served it to all three of us.
"are they edible?" my father asked
"come on my cooking is not that bad." I replied
Both of them ate two bites and looked at each other.
"why don't I cook for both of you today. Im going to the kitchen." And Russell went in the kitchen with his plate.
"is it that bad?" I asked dad
" ron just don't try to cook again if you want us to live." Dad replied
" that is really rude." I replied
" I am still too young to die " my father replied
And we started talking when Russell came with omlets and served us all it looked delicious and tasted even better
" you are such a good cook! " I complimented
" yes my king now promise to never cook if you want me to stay alive."
" you both are so rude!." I replied
We finished breakfast. Dad headed for the meeting and me and Russell headed to my personal gym in the mansion.
"why does your dad call you Ron?"
"first my name was veronica, dad kept that but when mom died, I changed my name officially to violet which my mom wanted to keep. That's why very few people call me veronica now."
"then im gonna call you veronica from now!"
"your wish."
We worked out and were sweating real bad. i am pretty sure I was looking bad! but I have no idea how he looked good even while sweating I mean no you are not allowed to look that good! Its cheating and I am jealous!.
I headed towards the shower in my gym.
"Ron! Is there only one shower?"
"yep! Wait outside."
He knocked on the door again
"what?"
"hand me a towel! I need to wipe my face!"
I opened the door a little and handed the towel to him
I finished and got out
" wear formals today. We are going to a meeting. Then we will pack and leave for the round table conference tonight."
"yes boss!" he laughed and left to get ready.
I was waiting in the living room for him.
"do you have to wear that cape and all?"
"no one knows my secret. Come with me." I held his hand and took him to the study room.
His cape was kept on the table I handed it over to him.
"do I have to?" he asked
"no option." He wore the cape and I handed him his walking stick/sword. I liked the cape because it covered my whole body like the one Dracula wears in hotel Transylvania. Yes I have seen that movie and I love it don't judge!.
We headed out and sat in my car. The driver drove towards my office. As we entered the office the knights came for my security check.
"they even check you?"
"yes. Precaution is better than cure", and even he had to go through security check except we were allowed to take our weapons and electronics. As we headed inside the knights kneeled down as a sign of respect and we entered my office. As usual the lights were very dim. I switched on all the lights and closed the door.
"where do I sit?" he asked
I pointed at the seat kept beside mine it was similar but had a shorter head rest and was red in colour.
"ill get you a new office in two days till then you are stuck with me."
"I really don't mind. I don't want a new office. How about I get stuck with you forever?"
"nice try. But you will need a new office, you will be a new king."
" Ron…. What if I don't become the king? you just merge the yellow kingdom with yours?"
" but…"
" I have been thinking about this."
" no can't be done. There has to be balance. The yellow kingdom handles the judicial system, the green kingdom is responsible for technology, the blue kingdom is responsible for the whole entertainment industry, the purple kingdom was responsible for the transportation and development, the white kingdom is responsible for keeping peace between everyone and religious things the red kingdom is responsible for the economy and the black kingdom….. it owns everything, it is ruthless, it is the darkness that rules above all."
"Ron this is the issue I am an economic expert not good at judicial work…. My brother is a well known lawyer. this thing has been eating me up."
" I know.." I smiled at him.
" then.."
" I have already figured out everything. No need to worry"
