The two men continued observing Severus. Noworry who was currently inside Severus body suppressed his presence. He didn't fear them and can easily knock them both out but for Severus' sake, he hid his presence.
"What happened Uze? Why did we take a turn and ended up here?" The other man asked the question to the man who was towering Severus.
The man who was called Uze didn't respond as he crouched near Severus and used his hand to touch his face.
"What's the matter Uze?" The man impatiently hollered.
"We are already running late, and you know what awaits for us if we fail to deliver the message. Don't you?"
"…"
Fine Ignore me!
He sighed.
"This man…. isn't he Severus, Rze?" Uze finally said something after a long-dead silence.
Rze was slightly surprised when this name was mentioned.
He quickly sat beside Uze and observed the man. Minutes later his expression turned from surprise to delight. He stood up in delight as he shouted. "Of course, it's him."
"How could I forget him? Crown prince asked me to pay special heed to him when he met with this guy. He said he was special."
"You sure?" Uze asked doubtfully.
Rze thought about it as he placed his hand under his chin. "To be honest I felt like he was a simple man. Just slightly more powerful and intelligent than others but then again, it was my analysis. You can't question the crown prince's judgment. If he said he is special then he is. And look what. According to the news, we gathered, doesn't it prove that he is special? Special among us all?" He licked his lips as he talked about his specialty.
Uze just kept a straight face. "Given how weak he is, I still doubt him."
"What do you think we should do with him?" Rze asked.
"We can either kill him and charge him with infiltration or....we can capture him and present him to the crown prince," Uze said with a cynical smile.
Rze was exhilarated. "You serious?"
"What do you think?"
DAMN!!!
"If we really did it then, we will be highly rewarded and may rise in our ranks. I can't believe my luck. Let's pack him and bring him with us" He jeered with happiness.
"Sure" Unlike Rze, Uze was very cool with no excitement but the flash in his eyes betrayed him.
Soon Uze tied Severus on his horse with the rope that was knotted on his hand and fed a pill to the horse. The starved horse with no energy left in his body in an instant became re-energized and followed their lead.
Noworry who was inside Severus heard each and everything that they said.
Their journey continued one week more and just like that it had been two weeks since Severus left the Riviera. Noworry was starting to feel jittery since Severus didn't wake up from his slumber. Uze would every day give him an injection that will restore Severus' body nutrition but for some unknown reason, he was not showing any sign of waking up.
Probably they were mixing sleeping enzymes in the injections but if they are going to meet like this then it would only show how weak Severus was.
This won't be a good impression.
Even though Noworry was inside Severus' subconscious, he failed to establish a relationship with him. His mind as well as his soul was just sleeping. It was strange that even his soul was sleeping. '
Just how great the effects were to even make someone's soul sleep. If this was done because of their injections then it was okay but if they were using magic then their power far surpassed Severus' current level.
Noworry started fearing for Severus.
[Just where the hell are we entering Severus….]
No response.
[I knew it. I will make you regret it when you wake up you brat] Noworry was now frustrated.
NEEEEHHHH!
The horse came to an abrupt halt. Noworry who was inside Severus' body was shaken up due to an abrupt halt and which increased his anger to the next level.
"AHHH! There is nothing like home" Rze said as he stretched his body. Traveling sure worns out everyone.
Uze too came down from his saddle and picked up Severus on his shoulder. "You park the horses inside the stable, I will head first and report him," He said without any expression but before he could leave, his wrist was tightly gripped by Rze.
"You are going without me?" This time there was no playful smile on his face, just a dangerous grin. It was obvious he was irritated.
"…"
"Are you perhaps thinking to claim all the credit for yourself?" Rze asked seriously.
Uze expressions didn't falter. "Of course, I am going to gain complete credit since you did nothing more than to tag along with me just like a dog."
Rze felt as if someone had stomped on his self-respect. "You are comparing me with a dog?"
"AHA"
"I am not comparing you to a dog Rze. I am calling you one."
"…"
[That's some savages reply you got their boi] Noworry was enjoying the show.
Rze angrily grabbed Uze's collar as he gritted his teeth. "I dare you."
"Don't bother. You will end up beaten to a pulp."
Slash!
Uze raised his one hand and hit on Rze shoulder as Rze dropped on his knees while clutching his shoulder. His face twisted in obvious pain while the gritting never stopped.
"Damn you Uze" Rze continued with his cursing but Uze didn't bother to listen.
He walked away and left Rze there to sulk upon.
"Ask the Crown prince for a meeting" Uze called the shadow guards and asked him to ask permission from the Crown prince.
One of the guards bowed a little in response and went inside.
Sometime later he came back and informed Uze.
"His majesty said to wait at Spring garden. He will be shortly there."
Uze heard him and left without bidding goodbye.
Well, everyone was used to his cold behavior, so no one felt bad.
With Severus on his shoulder, Uze went to Spring garden.
Soon he stopped and put Severus down on a nearby bench and sat on it. He closed his eyes and just breathed in the fragrance of nearby flowers.
Time passed slowly here and Uze just sat there with his eyes closed.
An hour passed like that.
SHHHHHHH
Noworry who was also resting inside Severus' body felt a presence and he was instantly awakened. It was a fleeting feeling and before Noworry could read the presence, it disappeared completely. No matter how much he concentrated, he didn't find anything.
He felt like it was his illusion, but he was sure it was not an illusion.
Something dark was going in this kingdom.
"Helloooo Zzz"
A man wearing a golden gown came and stood in front of Severus. His hairs were short in length and were straight like needles. On his head, there was a golden crown signifying his position as the crown prince of this kingdom. His eyes were long and sparkly. A black and golden liner was used to define and sharpen them. Even his body structure was thin and tall, just like a woman without curves. He looked feminine but his voice changed the game.
His voice was laced with an unknown danger that spooked everyone around him.
Uze who was earlier sleeping was now kneeling on his one knee on the ground while his one hand was placed on his chest and the other was behind his back. A posture, to show respect and total submission in front of the Crown prince.
Noworry [….]
[freaks everywhere…]
"Stand up uz Uzeeeeee"
Uze quickly stood up but his eyes were always down, staring at his feet.
"I heard you asked for my presence?"
"Yes, crown prince. I have something for you" He offered humbly.
"It better be good or else you are dead meat" The snotty Crown prince spoke.
Without any delay, Uze started unpacking Severus and within minutes Severus was laying down on the ground.
Sharp!
Crown prince expressions turned sharp as his eyes glinted maliciously. There was a sheer amount of shock as well as delight present in his eyes.
"He is zzz..."
"He is Severus Seres, Crown prince" Uze introduced him.
After the brief delight, Crown prince expressions turned somber. "Why is he here? Don't you know he is a big threat to every kingdom? No one wants Severus Seres infiltrating their kingdom, yet you had the audacity to bring him here by yourself. WHY UZE?" The crown prince was angered.
The mere thought of Severus infiltration made him jittery. Anyone can conclude the reputation Severus had.
Uze felt his nerves breaking down the moment he was shouted on. After collecting his bits of confidence, he managed to describe the situation in which he found Severus.
"Your majesty I didn't bring him here on just a whim. You probably don't know but your doubts about him are true. I have top-secret information about Rivera that will blow the world when it's known to everyone."
Crown prince's crease his eyes dangerously as he gave him a signal to continue.
