Chapter 81 - The Letter - Part 1

Soon it was morning again and Rex woke up from frok his sleep which was incomplete due to a lot of things that were going on in his mind.

"Sigh, I'll think about those later. For now I need to think about reuniting with father, mother and sister..."

Rex walked downstairs after getting dressed up while Bandis and Zor were still sleeping since they were awake during the night time.

Rex too didn't disturb their sleeping because he could understand that they might have been tired.

"Good morning Sir...", said the Inn keeper.

"Good morning...", Rex replied.

Immediately fret that the demi human and the other girl too cane and wished him.

For some reason they had a bright happy face and the demi-Human was girl was actually a lot more enthusiastic than before.

It seemed as if she had taken a liking to Rex because of yesterday's incident.

It was probably the first time when someone who didn't know anything about her, stood for her.

She wanted to express her gratitude at the same moment but didn't get a chance to do so. That was why immediately after saying good morning and greeting him, she expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you so much...", but she was a bit shy and immediately after saying that she ran away.

Rex didn't even get a chance to talk to her properly.

He sat near a table and waited for the breakfast to be served when he saw Bandis and Zor running and coming towards Rex.

Both of them didn't cease running and kept running even after they got down of the stairs and went and grabbed Rex's hand.

"What are you both...", even before Rex could ask about it they started arguing with each other.

"I'm first!", Bandis said this while Zor was contradicting that.

"No! I'm first!", was what Zor said.

Both of them argued for a while when Rex finally said, "Both of you grabbed my hands at the same time so both of you are first, do you understand?"

Suddenly they became aware that they were behaving like small kids and immediately let Rex's hands go.

Then they both rushed up again and hit fresher up and returned back down when Rex had started to eat.

Both of them arrived and breakfast was also served to them which they enjoyed to the fullest.

"Huff huff, the breakfast is amazing! I want another serving.", Zor seemed to be extremely happy and it was as if the food was to his liking so he kept on ordering for which Rex had to pay the bill in the end.

Rex didn't have any objections though and he didn't have to worry either because he had infinite amount of money.

But Bandis and Zor worried about the lonely after they realised that they had over eaten.

"Master, apologies. We ate too much and...", Bandis and Zor were saying in unison which Rex neglected and immediately pointed his finger forwards the city square.

"We will get the wagon there. Come let's go to the palace...", Rex seems to be extremely excited about this and that was why he couldn't wait any longer.

All three of them could just teleport but Rex wanted to meet them the same way as he had left. Not by teleporting instead coming by himself all the way.

He looked for the same wagon driver who had already told earlier and that he would be waiting and finally found him.

All of them got inside the carriage which was driven towards the palace since Rex told him to do so.

Bandis wanted to make the excitement increase so he asked Rex, "So Master, how are you feeling right now? Are you excited to meet your parents?"

It was as if he was taking an interview or asking something like the news reporters back from Earth.

Rex smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy and excited to the fullest. But I'm nervous at the same time..."

Bandis immediately asked, "Nervous?"

He couldn't understand the reason for his nervousness but when Rex told him, he was finally able to relate it.

"I left them for too long just by giving a letter all on my own. So they might have been worried. What if they just toss me out? Or be mad at me!?", he was a bit worried too because he knew that he had given them pain.

He was originally from a different family in the past life which didn't take care of him at all because of which he looked after himself and only thought about himself after his sister was tortured to death.

So in this world too he didn't think about their feelings beforehand. It was only latwr that he realised how hurt they might have been.

But Bandis then smiled a bit and said, "Master, I'm sure that they will be happy. They might be a little angry but the happiness will be much more than the tiny bit of anger that they will have."

Rex liked Bandis's explanation and point of view. Zor too had told something similar due to which he got enough courage to face them.

They were all hapoy but then suddenly something happened which shocked them.

The carriage stoooed all of a sudden.

"Eh? What was that...?", Rex asked immediately.

Bandis called the driver and asked what has happened when he told that he couldn't go ahead anymore.

"Why? What happened? Is something wrong?", Rex asked him.

"I'm sorry sir but it seems as if the wheel has got a crack. Now I have to repair in before it could carry someone....", he was a bit sad and expressed his apologies because of the inconvenience.

"Hmm, okay it's fine don't worry. We will look for another carriage.", was what Rex told and immediately for down of the carriage.

Then all three of them looked here and there and found that there were no free carriages here. They were already quite far from the city square and getting a carriage here want possible.

Rex could have easily fixed the wheel but he didn't want to do so because the wagon driver might turn lazy and not check the wheels before leaving.

It was a kind of punishment which Rex offered him but at the same time he was being late.

He was somehow controlling his eagerness if reaching the palace and meeting all of them.

"What do we do now Master? Should we teleport directly?", was what Bandis asked which was understandable because if Rex were to just teleport the trouble would less.

"I guess you are right, let's...", he was about to agree for using teleportation when suddenly a free carriage was seen.

"Oh! Excuse me...", Rex asked the wagon driver who agreed to take Rex and the rest of them to the palace.

They immediately started moving and within 30-40 minutes, they reached the outer place of the palace which was just in front of the main gate where at least 20 imprerial guards were standing.

One of th imperial guard who seemed to be the head among them came forward and asked, "State your business!"

The wagon driver said, "The sid in the carriage wants to meet the king it seems."

He didn't even ask Rex about it and concluded in his own. But regardless of what or how he did, his conclusion was correct.

"Meet his majesty? I'm sorry but he is busy right now...", was what the guard said quite arrogantly.

The wagon driver couldn't say anything else and then asked Rex what he had to do next.

"Hmm, it's fine. Leave us here."

He immediately got down from the wagon and so did Bandis and Zor. They tossed a silver coin to the man who left after that happily.

"I want to go inside...", was what Rex told while making an innocent face and smiling.

"Boy, you can't his majesty is...", while saying this he looked at him carefully when he removed his robe.

"Oh!! You are the boy from the Inn!!!", the man said it with a surprised expression.

He was the same person who had come with another guard. He immediately recognised Rex andbso did Rex too.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know that it was you...", his attitude and behaviour changed on it's own since he had seen the great things what Rex has done.

Even till now he couldn't believe the leg slashing incident.

"Haha it's fine, so can I go inside?", Rex asked again politely.

"I'm sorry but I don't think so that I can allow you. His majesty indeed is busy right now and has asked no one to disturb him. He told if any guest arrives then tell him to come the other day...", he seemed apologetic when he said that.

"Ha? Father said that!!?", was what he was thinking after being shocked.

Rex was completely surprised because Alex was a person who highly regarded guests so it was somewhat weird when he heard about this.

But then he realised that it was inevitable since an assassination attempt had just happened a few hours ago so it was understandable.

"Okay... then at least can you deliver a message for me?", was what Rex asked.

"Yes, I sure can.", he nodded his head.

'The shine of the full moon is bright, but it has a Darkside. One would understand why it hides that side when one understands the truth about its bright side.'

He immediately wrote this in a piece of paper and asked it to be delivered to his father.

"I will be back tomorrow during the same time...", saying this he immediately left.

"Take care...", the guard bid him farewell and kept the letter carefully in order to give it to King Alexander.

"Master what do we do now?", Bandis and Zor asked in unison.

"Hmm, let's roam and take a look at different places that are here. We can also take a look at different shops and stores."

Both of them nodded their head and walked with Rex and followed him where ever he went. They visited a lot of shops and during this all process it had already become noon so they went to a stall to have something.

"I hope he delivers it properly...", was what Rex was thinking.
