Dragon King 27 Lover Boy

"""""stop with the formalities son, come give your old man a hug"""" the king who is not expecting the prince anytime soon, spread him arm for a warm hug, although Fredrick felt skeptical about it, he still accept the warm embrace """ you came back and went straight to a girls house, rather than come see your father, so tell me how was your meeting with her"""

"""""which her are you talking about??"" freighting ignorance, Fredrick try to cover up the existence of Celina

"""" the girl, you came with from inner community"""" you need not denial it, this is my castle boy, so I know everything that is happening, even if I decide to play ignorant about it"""" the king, exaggerating things, pat his son shoulder and lead him to a chair, as they break away from the hug

""""" actually dad, her name is Celina and she is pretty, am earth style user...... that is all I know about her.......sorry I didn't bring her straight to you and uncle, I wanted to set everything before making my move""""" ( dam you old man, how did you even find out about her??) Fredrick wonder, asking himself question, he knows not the answer

"""""about the trip to border town...…"""""

""""" no need for the report, jarrett have already brief me, including the part where that your new friend risked his life to save you and as a result, the town nearly got flooded with sand, the magnitude of the sand as so big, that it scared you to the extent of you peeing your pants """""" the king replied with a sarcastic tone and there after burst out in laughter.

"""" that is dad, I will strangle him to death"""" Fredrick, although laugh along with his father as he match out of the room

""""""""" don't go making trouble, and let the poor man rest, he really deserve it""""""""" the king yelled out to his son, who is almost at the door post

"""""" alright!!, roger that captain ........ goodnight dad!!!"""" ( wow, I can't believe he is cracking jokes with me, it actually more than a decade I saw him smile, not to talk of laughing, it seem everything is gradually creeping back to normal)

""" good night son"""" ( my queen, my life, my world, my love, are you watching?? It seem we have our boy back to us......… you were right about, your death creating a void, that only one thing can fill, and it seems as if he have found that one thing, I gave you my word back then and am rea.s.suring you now, that I will stand by his side, no matter how serious the decision he will take), the once happy king speak out softly to a frame of his wife, the queen.

Aglovale room

After leaving his father, Fredrick went hang out with his friend turned brother, he had decided to use the opportunity to appreciate him for saving his life and staying by his side, even if they barely knew each other well

""" hey dude, are you asleep already??, it is only c.o.c.ks and hen that sleep so early and the Aglovale is no one of them""" Fredrick, without bothering to knock, entered Aglovale room, reached out to the stilled Aglovale who is lying on his bed

"""" go away, Aglovale is fast asleep""""

"""" you can't be fast asleep and still be talking"""

""" oh yes I can"""

"""" okay, if that if the case, I will ask the maids to return the chicken and wine, no more party then"""" his last statement was to get him up and it did work, the mere p.r.o.nouncing of chicken and wine will make Aglovale move mountain

""""" alright, you win........ now where is the chicken and wine??"""Aglovale asked like a loin ready to devour it's victim

""""" not here dude, you have to follow me"""" with that said, Fredrick turn and leave without saying a word, while Aglovale followed suit, like an obedient dog, both friends walked down to Fredrick sit out, where It seems as if a party is going on, the table is set, and on it are chicken and wine, pottage white bread, peas cooked with meat, whole cooked grains and garbanzo beans, carrots, cabbage etc were all present, beside the table are two maids, both beautiful but one of them attracted Aglovale, immediately he stepped into the sit out.

Everything is well set, even nature is in line with them, as the night breeze softly blow pa.s.s them as they eat their food, Aglovale reserve the chicken and wine to be the last food he will eat, half way into the food, Fredrick, after dismissing the maids, clear his throat to give a speech, he have been trying hard to compose

"""" bro I want to use this medium to thank specially, for saving me back there in border town, even when it means putting your life in the line...…. """"

""" don't over think it bro, just count yourself lucky, that my body unconsciously jumped in and take the shot for you, because am pretty sure, Me, Aglovale will not do such a thing"""

""""" but you did it""""

"""" that is why I am saying, you should count yourself lucky, and brace yourself well, because next time it won't happen""""

"""" but why…."""

"""" because, this life is just one.... I must tell you, this life is too precious and sweet for me to come and die for someone else...…. Imagine, me not getting any more sweet food like this.......... But nevertheless, you are welcome, I hope you didn't do all this things, just to repay me back, because you will be wasting your time"""" was.h.i.+ng his hands,

""" but I still feel like doing something for you….."""

""""" and I said, you need not do anything dude, just get my back, and I will get yours"""""

Fredrick who have long washed his hand called the maid to come in and empty the table. the maid, Aglovale have been staring and admiring happens to be the person coming in to clean the table

""""" not my wine and chicken, young lady """"" Aglovale quickly grabbed the tray containing his specialties, this single act made all of them to laugh including the maid, who silently giggles ( what the freaking h.e.l.l is this!!, such beauty, serving as a maid, ERROR!!!) Aglovale thought to himself, as he wait patiently for the maid to leave

"""" hey bro, you said you feel like doing something for me right??""

"" yes""

""" well truth be told, this food you gave me is nothing, compared to what I did, so if that is the case, you are still indebted to me right"""

""""" yes... just say it out dude, I know you want something"""" Fredrick replied, as he mop at, Aglovale who have been smiling sheepishly

""" it is a good thing that, you know am in need of something"""" after a long silence he finally let out the content of his heart"""""" I want her bro….. the maid that just left here""""

Hiding his surprise, Fredrick forced himself swallow the drink in his mouth ( hmm, someone is in love, it my turn to tease him hahahahaha, I can't wait to see how it will turn out) """" comfess to me that you are in love, and I will help you out......lover boy"""""

""""" I beg your pardon dude, but am not in love, I just have a liking towards her that all"""""

""""" dam you bro, like it or not you are in love.....and the sooner you realize that, the better for the both of us""""""""

"""""alright dude, you win, just quit the lecture...…..""""" giving him a serious face and a killer stare """""""" am not in love...maybe I love her….. not love as in love—love """""

"""""" whatever dude, you can deceive other but certainly not me and not yourself either """""" Fredrick sip on his wine as he watch his bosom friend contradict himself

""""" so what is her name, and stop giving me that look dude"""""

""""" sorry bro, I would love to help you but, I don't know her name...…""""

Cutting him short as he usually do"""" what do you mean, dude? That you don't know the name of the people working for your family??, how could you??"""""

"""""stop giving me that look, as if I did something hideous, you don't expect me to be going around asking all the maids, stewards, guards and anything that cross my path their name, come on dude, I got other things to do......….besides, the court lady and others are being paid for that"""""""

"""" stop it bro, even if you end up justifying yourself, you still have to help me...….just create an avenue for me to meet her regularly... starting off as a friend is probably the best """""

""""""anything for you bro...….follow me, is almost nine, I think is time for roll call...…..that will be the best time to effect any change """""" getting up, Fredrick sip the last wine in his goblet, dust his robe and walks while follow suit, still holding the bone of the chicken in his hand.

Taking the chicken bone away from Aglovale """""alright that is, I think it time you stop, this your eat-walking habit, at least you got to portray some dignity, at least, it will send across a sense of maturity over to the next person especially the maid we are in search of""""" on hearing that, Aglovale threw the chicken bone without protesting.
