Chapter 4 - Asher & The Princess

Asher was a man of commendable courage, muscular build, tall and handsome with dark brown hair, he was on an errand of the first prince, he was asked to get the special suit that was prepared as a gift for the first prince for his coming of age ceremony or so called awakening.

As he kept walking towards Eon's Room, he heard another's footsteps from the other side of the hall, they were in rythm slowly be surely coming towards him, he looked up and found himself in front of a girl that was otherworldly like an angel, filled with royal beauty and elegance oozing out of her, adorned in a silver dress, that was filled with class, no vulgarity, no showing of extra skin, just elegant and gorgeous, her black hair fall till her waist with two bangs in front, sky blue eyes, jade white skin.

"Princess!" Asher bowed slighty and called out to her.

Yes! She was Eon's younger sister, two years younger to be precise, "Sir Asher, Are you also going to big brother's room?" Selena asked while looking at the suit in Asher's hands.

"Yes Princess, I heard His Highness collapsed at the castle entrance from Rylan's mouth" Asher looked up kindly at her and replied.

"Brother is awake now, Lyra just informed everyone" Selena smiled and said.

Asher was very worried when he heard the news that Eon collapsed, A big smile visibly appeared on his face when heard what Selena just said, "Ha Ha, i knew nothing would happen to His Highness." Asher laughed heartily and replied back while taking a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, Sir Asher, we should go to big brother now." Selena was also happy and said while smiling.

As they proceeded down the corridor towards Eon's room, their footsteps echoing softly against the polished marble floors, Selena's gaze fell upon the suit cradled in Asher's arms. A glimmer of curiosity danced in her sapphire eyes as she gestured towards it.

"Is that suit for brother?" she inquired, her voice gentle yet tinged with concern. Asher's lips curved into a warm smile as he nodded in affirmation.

"Yes, Princess," he confirmed, his voice steady and reassuring. "The Empress sent me this morning to the royal tailor's house and asked me to urge him to prepare this suit urgently for His Highness's awakening ceremony."

Selena's expression softened, a flicker of relief illuminating her features. The weight of worry that had settled upon her shoulders seemed to ease slightly at the news of the special garment intended for her brother's upcoming ceremony.

Their steps fell into a comfortable rhythm as they continued their journey, the anticipation of their destination mingling with the unspoken concern for Eon's well-being.

As they walked, Selena couldn't help but turn her thoughts towards her brother's recent condition. "Sir Asher," she began, her voice hesitant yet filled with a longing for reassurance, "do you have any idea what happened to my brother earlier?"

Asher's brows furrowed slightly, his gaze thoughtful as he considered her question. "I'm not entirely certain, Princess," he admitted, his tone laced with sincerity. "But word has it that it might have been some sort of fainting episode. It's worrying, but I'm confident he'll bounce back soon."

A soft sigh escaped Selena's lips, a mixture of worry and hope swirling within her chest. "Yes, I hope so too," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "Big brother has always been so resilient."

Their conversation shifted, the weight of their concern momentarily set aside as Asher's gaze drifted towards Selena's attire. "Princess," he remarked, his tone filled with genuine admiration, "if I may say so, your dress is truly breathtaking. It perfectly suits someone of your stature."

A blush crept onto Selena's cheeks at the compliment, a shy smile gracing her lips. "Thank you, Sir Asher," she replied, her voice tinged with gratitude. "It's one of Mother's creations. She always emphasizes elegance over flamboyance."

Asher nodded in understanding, a sense of respect evident in his gaze. "Indeed," he agreed, his tone reverent. "It's a testament to the royal grace that runs in your family."

Their exchange carried with it a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect, weaving seamlessly into the fabric of their journey towards Eon's room. As they walked, their hearts remained tethered to the prince, their thoughts consumed with hope for his swift recovery.

As Asher and Selena approached the grand wooden door of Eon's room, a sense of anticipation hung in the air. The rhythmic thud of their footsteps ceased as they reached their destination. With a gentle yet firm hand, Asher knocked on the door, the sound echoing softly through the corridor.

Knock! Knock!

Inside the room, Eon, stood the near the window, gazed out at the tranquil scenery beyond. His thoughts wandered, momentarily detached from the world around him.

The door creaked open, revealing Asher and Selena standing in the threshold. Selena's eyes lit up with a mixture of relief and affection as she caught sight of her brother.

"Big Brother!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine joy.

In an instant, she rushed forward, her elegant form enveloping Eon in a tight embrace. Eon, momentarily taken aback by the sudden affectionate gesture, blinked in surprise before a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

"Sally," he murmured softly, his voice laced with warmth as he wrapped his arms around her in return. Memories flooded his mind, fragments of a past life merging with the present moment.

"Okay now, You're not a child anymore be serious." Eon chastised still smiling.

Selena grinned mischievously, hugging Eon for a few seconds and letting go of him and said "Hehe, big brother, i am still a child."

As Eon turned his gaze towards Asher, who stood respectfully by the doorway, Eon beckoned him closer with a nod.

"Asher," he called out, his voice steady yet filled with gratitude.

Asher approached, a mixture of concern and relief etched upon his features.

"How are you feeling, Your Highness?" Asher inquired, his voice filled with genuine concern.

Eon's gaze softened as he met Asher's eyes. "I am fine now," he reassured, his tone firm yet gentle. "Thank you for your concern."

As Eon's gaze fell upon the exquisite suit cradled in Asher's arms, a spark of curiosity flickered in his eyes. Clad in sky blue silky pajamas, Eon appeared relaxed yet intrigued by the unexpected arrival.

"Is that for me, Asher?" he inquired, his tone tinged with mild surprise.

Asher's expression softened into a warm smile as he nodded in affirmation, carefully presenting the suit to Eon.

"Yes, Your Highness," Asher confirmed, his voice imbued with respect. "This suit is a gift for your coming of age ceremony from the Empress and the Emperor. Her Majesty specifically requested that I fetch it from the royal tailor, Sir Threadwell."

Eon's eyes swirled slightly at the mention of the Empress's personal involvement, a sense of gratitude welling within him, never knowing this feeling in his previous life because of being an orphan. He reached out to inspect the suit, admiring the fine craftsmanship and intricate details.
