Chapter 7: Chapter 7
Carrion was sitting on the bed with a nervous expression on his face and was contemplating the potential consequences of his actions.
'Even if I go after her right now, it will only make things worse rather than fixing it. Man, if I were a parent who loved his child only parentally and then the child started to do sexualize things to me. I would feel kind of betrayed and bad because I have to look at her in a different light after that and it was out of a sudden. I shouldn't have rushed it I should have corrupted her more before being this forward. Well, no matter how much I regret it I can't change the past. I should call the butler and give her a different and arrange her a new room for today and I will talk to her tomorrow.'
Carrion opened the door and told the guard to bring the butler to meet him. After that he sat on the bed again waiting anxiously.
"My lord, you wish to talk to me?" After a couple of light knocks on the door, the butler's voice was heard from the outside.
"Come in"
The door of the bedroom opened without any resistance from the door hinge evidence of the newly bult nature of the mansion. From the opened door an old man with heavy eyelids dressed in a casual outfit came to view.
"What is your name?" Carrion asked while putting his right leg over left leg indicating a higher position of power.
"My name is Reiner, your majesty"
"Hmm okay Reiner, have you or any of the guards seen mom my mom anywhere".
Surprised Reiner replied immediately "No your majesty, Neither me nor guards have seen the queen anywhere, she was with you, is she missing? I will report to the guards immediately" panicked started to appear Reiner's face.
"NO DON'T, we had an argument, and...she was mad about something I said, then she left, don't alert everyone, just take a couple of maids and 2 of my soldiers and go search for her she couldn't be far." Carrion wasn't confident he was scared of the wild possibilities coming to his mind. Suddenly a distant memory flashed into carrion's mind.
Carrion was young, probably like 10 or 9. After countless hours of studying forced by his father, he was resting in the most comfortable place he could think of His mother's lab. The surreal beauty of nature in his homeland in summertime was beautiful. Rays of sunshine beautifully pierced the clouds and light paddy fields in a golden color. Looking at the fields from a small hill at the end of the village was carrion resting. Suddenly a beautiful voice echoed from her mother's mouth singing a song of a mighty hero, he doesn't exactly remember the name of the hero but from the words coming out of her delicate mouth this hero was supposed to be a great swordsman who repelled an invasion targeting Westeros by the mighty valerian empire. With the delicate fingertips of her hand Serenya brushed the hair of carrion while looking down to his eyes causing him to close his eyes to find comfort in the dreams. What carrion wanted to know wasn't details of the song he wanted to know something else something that Serenya loved.
'Yes, she loved nature, she will occasionally bring me along when she goes to the forest. She even had a small garden in home. Now she is probably sad and confused by my sexual advances, so she has to go to a place where she can clear her mind. Obliviously that place was the garden near the entrance to the, she is there.'
While Reiner was trying to leave carrion called him again, "Reiner"
"yes? Your majesty"
"Search the garden first, if you find her take her to the room right next to me and report to me,…..AFTER you find her, okay?"
"Yes, your majesty I will do as you say"
Old man took his leave while isolating carrion to his thought.
'Hmm, it is crazy, in my previous life if I talked to a person for even a couple of seconds I would start hyper velating. I wonder what changed, I am still the same person but desires everything the previous owner of this body wished' various ideas started to pop up into carrion's mind completely overwhelming it.
Reiner was outside the door of the king again for the second time. He has seen something he shouldn't, and he wasn't going to tell anyone about it except for the king himself.
"my lord, may I come in?"
"Come" When the butler entered the lit room, he saw Carrion sitting on the without the shirt he was previously wearing staring at to the blank space. After noticing his presence carrion lifted his head and asked with frowned eyes.
"So?"
"Your majesty, I found the queen mother and directed her to the next room, she is currently sleeping but-"
"But?"
"But it seemed like her highness was crying for a long time"
When carrion heard those words, he felt sadness in his heart, but the sadness was completely overwhelmed by the guilt that followed.
'Shit, I shouldn't have been so hasty, but I was sure she enjoyed it, I pushed It too hard, and I have made her cry now, Good job champ.'
"Your majesty does you want talk to h-"
"no"
"Then I will take my leave as well, I wish you a comfortable sleep."
"No, you are not going, anywhere"
"Huh?"
"How many guards do we have to guard the outer wall?" carrion asked while returning to staring at the nothingness again.
Reiner was shaken by the sudden change of topic, 'why would the king ask something like that in a time like this. He just came here couple of hours ago, he should rest now and fulfill the duties of the kingship tomorrow." But Reiner was no one of status to question the king he was here to aid him not argue with him.
"I was informed that there are over approximately 1004 guards by the officer in command"
"Officer in command?"
"Yes, your majesty, he is a knight who retired from the position"
"Hmm, tell him to gather over 50 of his best men and order the Cheffs to prepare sufficient food and water enough for three days to eat when travelling"
"Are you going anywhere tomorrow my lord" Reiner asked in a curious tone.
Carrion glanced at him for a couple of second then looked at the holographic panel he was customizing for a couple of seconds with the information he like to know. In the system map tab was selected and materials and lifeforms were given priority when showing up of information.
'Alert!! A gold mine with a large amount gold detected in the eastern mountain range.'
'Host is advised to immediately cease it'
'But be warned, there are a civilization of intelligent potentially hostile lifeforms living in the area'
Grin started to appear on carrion's face and then he replied to the previous question from Reiner.
"We are going to mine gold"
