Chapter 4 - Wait! What?!
Lionel's POV
After ripping Tyron's balls...ehrm..I mean kicking... Well I could never do that to my best friend, like his balls is his life. So I just went on kicking it. Ok, back on track...
After this shitty day, I took a cab on my way home from school and decided to make the cab drop me off a few blocks before our house, I want to take a walk for awhile to relieve all my stress that's been happening in just this day. Damn, it was tiresome.
When I was walking through our neighborhood, I noticed that there were four black shiny cars park proudly in front of our house. Now, that's strange...Dad wouldn't bring his acquaintances in our home. I run inside our house and went to the living room but I found nothing in particular. (Not even species of aliens. Nah...joke..) Confusion was plastered in my face. I got out of the living room and I heard voices of people outside our yard. Maybe they're outside after all. I jogged my way to our yard and found that there were men in black. I mean guys wearing black suit.
"What the hell?" I mumbled to myself. I saw dad laughing with this man wearing a white suit and of all glory, his aura spreads royalty. Wait...
What's the king doing here?!
My good lord!!
When dad saw me, he motioned me to come to him and so I did. "My King, Meet my son, Lionel Park." Introduce my dad. I pushed up my glasses feeling nervous. Gosh...Im facing the king, dimwit.
"My King, its an honor to meet you..." I bowed my head to show my respect to the great king.
"Oh, don't do that. You will be part of our family someday, and I want you to start calling me father. You're such a beautiful boy, perfect for my son." He said while swirling his wine glass before drinking it.
Wait...what?! did I just heard it right? He said I'd be perfect for his son? What the fucks he's saying?
"Excuse me..?" I looked at the king, confusion etched my face. Stupified by his sudden declarations as his son soon to be partner....I must say. The king looked at me in disbelief but later on he broke into a small chuckle.
"Your father haven't talk about it do you?" He asked. I just nodded at him without leaving eye contact.
"My king, we can discuss this matter inside my office" my dad interrupted, braking off our eye contact with each other.
"That would be great, Admiral Park" the king answered my dad with a huge grin on his face. I felt chills run down my spine, and at the same time, I was feeling utterly nervous about the things that dad and the king will reveal for me.
When we entered dads work office, I kept pushing up my glasses or just ran my fingers on the side of my head just to ease the tension that I was feeling. I was nervous as hell...
I know that these revelations will change my life entirely. I just know.
"Son, about the things that we will reveal to you....I hope that you will accept it..." my dad reassured me. But me? I wasn't assured by the thought.
"About the itch you were feeling, it has something to do with your destined partner." Dad said, I glanced around and my eyes landed on the king. His faced was a little bit bored and he's waiting for something. He opened his mouth while tapping his fingers on his knees.
"Excuse me Admiral, I want to get this done faster, I have an appointment in the southern aisle tomorrow and its a long journey. So...kindly get to the point please."
"Yes My King, as you wish.." dad shifted his gazed towards me and nodded. I nodded back to him signaling that I was ready.
"Son, about the itch that you felt this past few days ago, it was the mark indicating that your the Princes fated one, that's been forming on your back. And we need an antidote to that because your body cannot take up the emmense power forming on your body." Dad said.
"So....you mean....I'm The Prince's fated one? To marry?"
"Yes," this time King Vermilion Dunter interrupted. "This is the second time around where the next king in line is fated to marry the same sex."
"Huh? So...who was the first?" I asked feeling curious. So this has happened already. I thought we were the first...
Wait... I sounded like I'm agreeing to this fact! hell NO..!! I'd rather be an old geezer who died single than marrying my same sex....its just....ughhhh....
"The first was....King ArthurWard Dunter I, and his partner was Prince Sabreneth Guffin, the son of King Hyannis Guffin of the Selecion Kingdom on the other part of the globe. They were the ones who gave birth and named our Kingdom Promedian, on our language, it means liberty and prosperity." The king stated.
"Wait...I've read them from books, and I never thought that King ArthurWard's wife was a male." I looked at the my father and to the king who was sitting comfortably on the sofa while looking through his phone.
"I need to go Admiral Park" he stood up from his chair and shake hands with my dad and he turned to me. I quickly stood up from my seat and went to shake hands with the king when suddenly he pulled me up and gave me a warm hug.
"My son will be here tomorrow to pick you up by 8." He released me from his grip and faced me.
"It was nice meeting you...Son..." and he gave me his most warming smile. He turned his back on me, smile still plastered on his face and started to leave the room. My dad escorted the king outside, making sure he's safe with his guards.
Wait! what?! That guy is coming over tomorrow?! Shit! Totally shit!
I was left dumbfounded, still standing on the middle of the room. I was thinking so hard on what to do. Should I just runaway? Or just go with the flow? I'm so confuse!!
I was cut off from my trains of thoughts when a soft knock sounded behind the closed door.
"Young master, your mother said you should go upstairs and rest now...tomorrow will be a big day." The voice stated. I just yelled ok and started to leave the room, my head still occupying many things..
I entered my bedroom and thrashed all my clothes to the hamper. I went into the bathroom and got a good cold shower.
Man....I'm so physically and mentally tired. Its like my heads going to blow up any minute, thank God shower was invented.
I got out of the shower and wipe my hair with a white towel in front of the mirror. Is this me? I asked myself. My skin was pale and some parts of my body are in burning red color. My black hair was already long, touching my shoulders, and my bangs are covering my eyes in some ways, guess I need some haircut tomorrow.
And the obvious one was my eyes. It was golden yellow, so bright and fierce and at the same time alluring, but something is missing...when you look deeper into them, they seemed dull and boring.
I turned around and saw the reflection of the butterfly tattoo that's been nesting on my back. I let my fingers touched that part and started to remember something.
The reasons why I wear thick framed glasses and covering my eyes with my bangs. The reason why my eyes look dull and boring in close stance. Why I'm still confuse about this total "fated one" idea, is because...I kept a promise....
I kept a promise with..... HER....
