The Broken Prince
Chapter 80
"Wake up Alex." I groaned as I rolled over to the side of the bed. This is not the time just anything. The bed is still so very comfortable and my blanket is wrapped around my body perfectly. One will not heed for this calling simply because, I need sleep.
But I figured that all good thing must come to an end as the one that was calling me was shaking my body vigorously that if it was legal to kill, I would''ve sliced their head off right now but sadly it isn''t allowed and even more when I opened my eyes and saw Nate.
With my brows almost crossed together, I sat up slowly as I stared angrily at the wall. Nate sighed and sat beside me.
"I''m sorry okay? But we need to go back to the kingdom. Your father has informed me that your suit for the clash is done and he needs to see you in it first." I groaned even more. So it''s father''s fault as to why I was awaken this early.. I looked at Nate with a dead stare before jumping to my feet and walking towards the shower like the undead.
"Ten minutes Alexander! We still have to fetch dinner before we depart!" I slammed the door with frustration and looked at myself in the mirror. Well, I looked like I woke up at the wrong side of the bed but jokes on you because I did not woke up on the wrong side of the bed. It''s just that I was forced to wake up. I stripped all of my clothes down with sleep still inside my system.
So after that, I basically showered while half asleep to the point where I almost broke my skull as I almost slipped and slammed my head on the floor which I cursed for being so slippery. Why I did that? Don''t question me. You''d do the same if you were sleepy.
Fortunately, I did make it out alive and whole with no broken bones and bruises. I scrammed through my wardrobe and picked whatever looked descent which is mainly the go to everyday tux and other clothing I wear. I did brush my hair somehow as I looked at the mirror with a dead face and went back to the bedroom where Nate was waiting, looking at his wrist watch.
"Ah, you''re done. Now time to fetch something for breakfast. We can eat in the car on the way back home." I did not bother to answer and just walked towards the door, following him.
I don''t know but I just don''t feel like being excited today or maybe I''m just ticked off because he forced me to wake up. We could have just chose to depart a little later but oh no, Nathaniel, my dear aide chose for our departure to be this early.
"Where are you going?" He asked as I was walking at the opposite direction where the food court was located.
"To the car. I''m going to sleep there and have breakfast later and you better not wake me up or I''ll break your face." I said and turned back without waiting for his answer. There were only a few student roaming at the time as yet again, it''s very early and I don''t even have the energy to think as to how these people manage to stay awake, I mean to wake up at this hour which by the way, is five in the early day.
I walked towards the front gate and saw the guards already eyeing me from a few feet away. I just showed the badge on my suit and they both stood at ease. Better not mess with me today, I''m really one push away to having an outburst which does not sound like me at all but again, you know the reason. Sleep is what I am deprived of at the moment. I saw the car parked just outside the main gate. I wonder as to why it did not come inside, nevertheless, I opened the car door and hopped inside. I recognized the chauffeur which was the one that drove me here the first time.
He looked at me from the rear view mirror and smiled before bowing his head a little. Not wanting to be a rude brat like I already am with Nate, I flashed a tired smile and laid on the seat. The vehicle was spacious and it''s not considered as a standard car but is a plopitiourer. That is what we call vehicles such as these types as they are only made and are exclusive only for royal members and those of which members are only the family of the king alone and will not extend to the extended family or relatives.
I found the seat uncomfortable so I walked even deeper into the mini hall and found myself a comfy and cozy mini bedroom which only had a bed with pillows and a blanket. I stood right beside the bed before letting my body fall into the soft mattress and before I knew it, I was drifting back to sleep and onto dreamland.
I fluttered my eyes open as I got awakened by subtle shaking of the vehicle. But this time, I was not feeling grumpy or like snapping to those who talk to me. I sat on the bedside and observed the blurry view that was seen through the window. I opened the window and the wind came rushing through giving me a set of fresh air. I stayed like that for a while and just stared at the places we passed which are basically made up of mountains and tall trees that hovered over the vehicle, casting shadows on the cemented road.
I heard a knock on the door but did not pay no mind as I already knew who it was. Nate came in with a tray of food that was still releasing steam. Maybe he reheated it on the mini oven. He also handed me a mug of hot coco which is my favorite.
It looked at the small rolls of bread that was very hot and some spread on the side. Maybe you thought it was something fancy but it''s actually is. This is not made with the same cheap and third class flour that is sold on the public market. I don''t want to sound like a bragger so I will no longer elaborate.
I took a piece of bread and started to eat. Taste like breakfast from home which we are heading now. The shining star was still not that high up so I figured that it''s somewhere nine in the morning.
I looked at Nate who was sitting beside me quietly. I grabbed a piece of bread and placed it in his mouth. He looked at me with a confused look, asking me as to what I was doing.
"If you think I forgot we both like the same food, you''re wrong. Now eat with me Nate. Besides we haven''t eaten together for a while now." I said as I chewed on my food. He started chewing on his food as well and grabbed the mug of hot coco which was with me. I looked at him with a glare and he did the same.
"I made this, it''s only fair I get to drink some of this too since you asked me to have breakfast with you."
"Okay I get that but you literally can make one for yourself you know?"
"Nah, just share yours." He spoke and sipped on my hot, wait let me rephrase that, our hot coco.
We both sat in silence as we ate, looking at the view outside.
"How much time till we get there?" I asked Nate.
"Not for long. We should be arriving at the skirts of the kingdom any moment now." He spoke and just as he finished saying his last words, the view of the sea that was a sign that we are in the Archean territory brought me at ease and a sense of warmth that I am home.
I saw the bridge that extended till the middle of the ocean where the palace is located. There were star guards on the boarders and as soon as they saw the plopitiourer, the lowered their spears and knelled to the ground.
A loud blaring sound erupted which signals that a royalty has come home. It kept on blaring until all the flags on the bridge were hoisted. I looked at the very familiar view outside with a warm smile.
"We''re here." I heard Nate spoke and noticed that the vehicle already stopped moving. Nate''s and I both got out of the room but I made sure I looked presentable.
Nate stepped out of the vehicle and was immediately surrounded by star guards as many archean citizen were waiting for us. So father announced my momentarily return?
The moment I stepped out of the vehicle, I noticed that there was a crowd around us and as they saw me, they cheered and waved their flags. What a very warm welcome, I smiled at everyone I could see. A trumpet was blown and the crowd split into two. There were guards marching towards me and as soon as they stepped to the side, I ran and embraced the man I missed so much.
"Father." I whispered as I hugged him tight.
"Welcome home my dear Fin."
