Chapter 1: Glifford

Garet Christopher Lockser is the Prince of the Alchemy Kingdom, the home of the children of Hephaestus. Garet was chosen by Hephaestus himself to rule the kingdom because for only one reason— Garet was ought to rule. After all, he was a king vessel, the ruler of mankind. But, to be a fully fledge king he must marry a princess to be her queen.

And without his knowledge, Hephaestus made a pact with his wife Aphrodite. Garet must marry the princess of Amore Kingdom. Savannah Meer Martini, the most beautiful maiden living in the Divine Continent. She was the maiden with the captivating beauty and dazzling eyes.

"Glifford, what is that?" Garet asked his right-hand man.

Glifford Maverick Verga, he was the Son of Hermes. Garet's right-hand man and his job is to protect Garet safe at all time. And at the same time, he was Garet's best friend.

Glifford handed Garet the blue flower he was holding, it was emitting a moonlight glow even in the middle of the day. Garet awed when magical dust fell on the flower making his hand shine.

"I don't know. Nakita ko lamang ito sa huling mission ko." Glifford said. Garet looks at him curiously.

Garet was about to speak when someone suddenly opened the door. Glifford snatched the flower on his hand and hid it. The elder was looking at the two men suspiciously. They were smiling sheepishly while exchanging glances with each other.

"Prince Christopher—"

"Sinong Christopher?!" Garet irritably asked. Glifford was pursing his lips preventing himself to laugh.

"Prince Garet, this is a letter from your father Hephaestus." The elder said apologetically. He quickly gave the red vintage vignette envelope do Glifford and immediately get out of the room.

Due to curiosity, Glifford opened the letter.

"Christopher, my son. I wanted to apologize for the reason that I cannot tell this personally. I know that you are aware of our law and we vowed to it. I think the time to become the king of Alchemy Kingdom has come. So, to become the king I want you to my wife's daughter—The princess of Amore Kingdom. She will be your queen. And be ready for her arrival. Be good."

Glifford laughed. Garet slammed his desk and frowned after Glifford finished reading the letter of his father. Garet stole the letter and tears it, he gave Glifford a glare who was still laughing.

"'Di ka funny, Glifford."

Glifford wipes the tears in the corner of his eyes, still laughing, "Dude, be happy. Dapat nga maging masaya ka dahil siya ang tinuturing na pinakamaganda babae."

"Naiinis ako."

"Kaya nga masaya ako e." Glifford laughed.

"Fuck you. Una, tinawag niya akong Christopher. Pota, sino bang nagbigay sa akin ng pangalan na 'yon? ANG PANGET!" Garet jeered.

"Kaya nga bagay sa'yo e."

"Christopher na nga nag tinawag sa akin. Nag-feeling Eros pa siya."

Glifford became serious, "And what is your plan?"

"Shut up, Glifford. Ang spoiler mo. Mamaya 'yan, mag-rant muna ako." Garet said.

Glifford rolled his eyes, "Suit yourself."

"Una, ayokong maging hari. Pangalawa, 'di pa ako ready strict parents—"

"Hindi strict ang parents mo. Pinagkasundo ka nga ni Hephaestus e."

"Panira, ulit tuloy sa simula."

"Pota naman, Garet."

"Una, ayokong maging hari. Pangalawa, 'di pa ako ready dahil hindi pa talaga ako ready. Pangatlo, sayang ang gala kung madaming kailangan intindihin dito sa kaharian. Pangapat, ayoko pa makasal virgin pa ako—"

"Eww, dude."

"Panglima—"

"Tangina, bakit ba ang dami?"

"Shut up. Panglima, gusto kong pakasalan ang babaeng gusto ko." Garet said in a serious tone, he looked at Glifford, "Game, tanungin mo na ulit yung tanong mo kanina."

Glifford groaned, "And what is your plan?"

"Tatakas ako." Garet said. He looked up to Glifford and pouted, "Sabihin mo 'this is friendship, dude. Kahit saan ka pa magpunta sasamahan ko ang kagwapuhan mo.'"

"This is friendship, dude."

"Kulang pa—"

"No way."

"Please, please."

"Shut up, Christopher!"

"Tangina mo, Maverick. KJ, ampota."

Garet and Glifford pack the things they needed in the journey that they are going to start. With Glifford being a wanderer, his things were already prepared. He put all the maps in his bag along with the rare medicines he created. On the other hand, Garet was packing all the inventions he made and the books that he likes to read.

They changed their clothes and both of them put an ankle-length hooded black robe and both of them escaped through the window, they silently run and sneaked to the guards that were guarding the kingdom.

They headed in the north where their secret base is located. And as soon as they reach the front they became cautious. Glifford twisted the doorknob, he looked at Garet nervously because it was open. Garet lightly pushed Glifford and inspects the door. Its hole has unknown scratches.

"This is bad, right?" Glifford asked. Garet nodded.

They silently went inside. Everything is normal in the living and dining room. They were about to heave a sigh when they heard a noise upstairs. They quickly run upstairs just to see a human figure, it was wearing a robe just like them. Garet and Glifford were facing the back of the unfamiliar person, but one thing is for sure that the person in front of them was a female.

She was exposing her ash-gray hair.

Garet looked at Glifford who silently get his dagger in his pocket. He was about to walk when the woman suddenly turned her head.

"Putangina."

"Yes, putangina talaga."

"Are royalties allowed to curse?" Glifford asked.

In front of them was Garet's fiance, Savannah Meer Martini, the most beautiful demigod.

"Tinakasan ko na ang mga guwardya ko tapos makikita ko pa ang mapapangasawa ko. Ang malas." Savannah whispered. It was enough for Glifford and Garet to hear.

"Same, same." Garet said. And put his hand in the air.

"Wow. What a twist." Glifford said while looking at Garet who was waiting for Savannah's high-five exchange. Savannah raised her right eyebrow and look at Garet with disbelief.

"Don't tell me you're also running away?" Savannah asked. Garet nodded while Glifford sighed while looking at his friend.

"So, kelan mo balak ibalik ang high-five ko?" Garet asked.

Glifford can't help but to facepalmed and Glifford said, "Apiran mo na lang siya please."

Savannah clueless gave Garet a high-five. Glifford sat in the bed beside him. He was captivated by her beauty, it was just like they always say about her the most beautiful demigod with the amethyst eyes. Her beauty is can be compared to her mother. She is indeed a princess but looks like a goddess.

"So, tell me bakit kanila sinasabihan maganda? Sakto ka lang naman." Garet asked.

"Excuse me?" Savannah exclaimed.

"Let him be. He is always like that." Glifford said.

"So, bakit ka tumakas?" And again Garet asked.

"I'm not ready and besides... I have dream na gusto kong mangyari."

"Hmm?"

"I wanted women to rule the kingdoms."

"Keep dreaming—"

"Minamaliit mo ba ang pangarap ko?"

"No."

"Then—"

"Keep dreaming, Savannah. Spread your wings and soar the sky until you reach your dream."

Glifford genuinely smiled when he saw how Savannah's awed expression.

She smiled genuinely it was the first time someone encouraged her dream. Because in reality, people in the Amore Kingdom always laughs at her dream. They keep on discouraging her that a woman can't rule.

"What about you? Bakit ka tumakas?" Savannah asked Garet.

"Una—" Glifford slaps Garet's mouth and speak, "Freedom. He wants freedom."

"And you?" Savannah asked Glifford.

Glifford pointed Garet, "Sabi niya."

"That's it?"

"I'm just like you," Glifford said. Garet forcibly removes Glifford's hand looks at him with disbelief.

"Pre, hindi ko alam na gusto mo rin maging reyna."

"Manahimik ka, Christopher." Glifford said. He suddenly faces Savannah, "I also want to achieve my dream."

"And that is?" Savannah asked.

"To discover all the peculiar herbals in this world."

Garet pouted, "Sana all may dream."

"SHUT UP, CHRISTOPHER!"
