Chapter 895: I Got Demoted?!
I fell into a deep sleep. In my sleep, although I didn’t dream at all, I feel a bit nostalgic. Must be because the Spirit King used his magic on me to see the past.
I don’t care about the nostalgic feeling. Because this might be the first time ever that I sleep so well. So I really don’t want to wake up and continue sleeping.
But I guess I can’t. There are still many things I want to do. With one thing that I have to do no matter what is the destruction of the cult.
I finally woke up from my deep sleep. But I still haven’t opened my eyes yet. I started to stretch my body since it seems like I have been sleeping for so long. My body is a bit stiff.
When I opened my eyes, I can see the sky. Now that I remember that I’m in the mountain where the Spirit King reside. This should be a flower garden. And since I can’t see anything above, this could be the peak of the mountain.
I can’t believe that we climbed the mountain because we believed that the Spirit King will grant our wish. I guess we were way too desperate to find the leader of the cult. The Evil God.
Lying down on the soft and extremely comfortable Blobbybed, looking at the sky and being surrounded by flowers, I somehow couldn’t smell the scent of the flowers at all. But instead, it’s the scent of ink.
I raised my right hand to see as I still didn’t use my Divine Vision yet, and I see that it’s covered in doodles.
"...Victoria, did you have fun while I was sleeping?" I asked.
Then, three faces appeared in front of me. Victoria in her human form, Shirley, and the Spirit King. They’re all looking down at me as I still have my head rested on Blobbypillow.
"There’s a lot of boring moment in your past, so I enjoyed it in a way that I will like," Victoria said.
"Clean me up before I force you to do it," I said.
Since she’s still my familiar and I’m her master, I can use my power to make her submit and obey me. Though I like it better if my familiars, each one of them, follow me by their own will.
"Sure. It’s just that you woke up sooner than expected. If you wake up at the time I expect you to wake up, then I would have clean you up before then," Victoria said.
"Why did I wake up sooner than expected? Is there something wrong with it? Did you see my past?" I asked while still laying on the bed.
"Nothing wrong with it except that we all have problems after you achieve Divine Vision. It’s way too confusing to watch everything at once," Victoria said.
So they stopped watching after I got my Divine Vision. Well, that’s understandable. I did have to get used to that power before I can use it at will.
I can focus on everything at once now thanks to getting used to it. But for them, I guess it’s too hard. Even Victoria had to adapt when I shared my vision with her.
"So, did you watch the memory before I returned to the past or after?" I asked as I started to raise my upper body from the bed. It’s uncomfortable to be glared while laying down. Though I closed my eyes again because that sleep was so great. And I don’t even want to use Divine Vision yet or I will be completely awake. At least it’s good that this place is safe seeing at their reaction.
"The memory before you returned to the past was shown as well. We watched everything. We just stopped because of dizziness after you got Divine Vision," Victoria said.
Then I opened my eyes after her reply, and I was shocked to see what’s around me.
"What the hell!? This should be a flower garden, not a head garden! How did it turn into this?!"
There are many heads around me. They’re all looking at me. Though a few seconds later, after hearing Victoria and the Spirit King’s laughter, I realized that they’re all just Victoria’s clones. The Blobbies. Is this some sort of prank?
"Roy, what do you think of this?" Shirley asked me as she handed me a small figure made of Blobby. Though is it just me or she sat on the bed closer to me than usual?
Usually, she never really get this close with me or any men in general unless it’s during emergency like in the middle of a battle. From what Kayla told me, it’s because she’s a princess and she has to keep up her appearance. And she can’t get too close with a man who is not her partner.
Well, let’s just ignore about that. For now, let’s see the figure in my hand.
"It looks extremely familiar. Wait, is this Angela in the memory of my past life? Even her dress is as I remember it," I said.
"Yes. We saw your past and see not only Angela. But some other people as well. Though we only see you, Angela, and Sara in the future. And you didn’t even know Sara yet at the time," Shirley said as she gave me another figure.
The small figure which should be a figure of Sara in the future is there. It does look similar. Though she’s older in the figure.
If we can paint the figure, then that would make it easier to see who they are. Though that will be useless since they’re made of Blobbies. But if we can just give the Blobbies to a sculptor and get them to sculpt the figures, then that should be fine.
"At least after I returned to the past, Victoria was with me most of the time. So you can just ask her if there’s anything you’re curious about," I said.
"Don’t worry. We’re planning on making you sleep again and watch the next episode," Victoria said.
"What?"
"For now, just share your vision with them so they get used to it. Then the Spirit King will continue with his magic and we will watch the continuation of your memory," Victoria said.
Does it mean that the Spirit King hasn’t decided to work with us?
Well, if it’s around the time that I just gained my Divine Vision, then the Spirit King wouldn’t know that in the future, the world will be destroyed by the cult. I guess we need him to continue watching.
Though I have one more question.
"So... Shirley, why are you so close with me?" I asked.
"Because you’re my brother," Shirley said.
Huh? Brother?
Me and Shirley? I’m just a commoner though. And she’s a princess. Is something wrong with her?
Then Victoria explained to me.
"Half-siblings. Roy, the past started when you were just born from your mother. The truth is that your father was the late King of Tatrama. Albert’s and Shirley’s father. And your mother was a villager. Someone just acted as your father so that no one will think of using you as a political measure to rebel or something bad in the kingdom. So your parents lied to you until their death," Victoria explained.
Wait, what? So the King just came to the village, sleep with my mom, then I was born. Then the King asked someone to act as my dad.
Well, it was really a long time ago, so I don’t really remember about them. And I have never met the previous king.
But still, I’m Albert’s and Shirley’s brother? Doesn’t that mean that I’m Alan’s and Lana’s uncle? And Marie is my sister-in-law?
"So... I’m a prince?! The King of werewolves, angels, weretigers, elves, vampires, and Crab People is a prince?! Which means I got demoted?!"
There’s nothing more shocking today than me getting demoted. From a king to a prince. That’s just horrible.
"See? I said that that will be his reaction after hearing it. He’s a weird guy," Victoria said.
Meanwhile, Shirley who was next to me came and hugged me in her embrace so tight. Her strength as a master level mage is shown. But I’m stronger, so I just feel comfortable. It’s just a warm hug from a sister, I guess.
"Roy. I watched your past. And I have to say that—"
I had a terrible past? They see something they don’t like? What is it?
"You had an ordinary life. Really ordinary life of a guy who worked hard to be where he is now," Shirley said.
Even a Princess said that I had an ordinary life. I’m her brother and she thought that I had an ordinary life?
Well, I can’t really say that it’s something amazing. So I guess it was pretty ordinary. Trying to be a doctor since I failed to be an average hunter and can only gather herbs. That’s something that ordinary people do.
Well, I guess I’m just an ordinary guy who was lucky to be returned to the past. Lucky to get Aura.
Then Shirley released her hug. But her hands are still holding my shoulder.
"Roy, as your older sister, I have something to say to you. Do not go to a brothel too often. Especially to meet young girls. They haven’t even born yet at this time, so it’s kind of weird to see that," Shirley said seriously.
Alright. If there’s one thing that I don’t want my family member to see, that would be it. But I guess it’s too late.
