Everyone was excited for the Academy, Eve was looking at others and the people enjoying and she was also excited by watching others and I was just looking around for no reason, there was nothing much special for me, I was just doing what God of Everything has said to me. I sighed and looked down...and a smile bloomed on my face, I remembered the beautiful memories of my past life, it was fun back then, everyone was there...but again, what matters to me is just my responsibility and my work, nothing else...but maybe, when everything will end, I may take rest and live a normal life for a while...I don't know...but it looked beautiful to think that...
I finally looked up at the sky, and Eve was looking at me with a surprised face, she didn't understand my unknown decent smile but she just smiled back and looked in front and didn't say anything and we both remain silent.
Suddenly the bell rang, and Eve and I looked and all the students had started leaving, Eve and I didn't understand why but we both would only know when we will follow them, so I stood and started taking Eve and started following others.
"The new students would be in the first line, and the students whose another session this is will be in the second line." The Instructor instructed and I came on the first year one with Eve and remain at the last and started waiting. It was something annoying for me, when I read others mind, it was the ceremony when ten students will come and enter in the Hall where the King would be and the student will vow to him one by one that they will dedicate their everything to Academy and to the country. It's a ritual of this Academy which is happening from centuries, since it was formed. It was the first Queen of the Academy who established the Academy but the next day she never woke up again, but people believed in her so much that they made the ritual on their own, made a statue of Queen and each and every student had to bow down and kiss at her hand and vow, and that was passed to Kings and the next Rulers and it goes on. I sighed, it would be their ritual, and I was still fine with it, and didn't say anything and started waiting.
Suddenly someone came behind me, patted on my shoulders and I smiled and turned back. Yuzui was standing behind me, hiding her face and she smiled and just gave me a thumbs up and said, "Kiss my hand not of the King, ok?" And I laughed, and Eve sighed and said, "I am not looking back, you both can kiss." And Yuzui and I started sweating...I looked at Yuzui and she came next to Eve and patted on her head and said, "Have fun in the Academy, and I will be there and Beauty, if you have any problem then call me or anyone, I will take my leave now."
Eve blushed a little bit with shyness and Yuzui moved ahead and everyone was left stunned by seeing her and shouted, "Princess Yuzui!!! Princess!!!!" And Yuzui left and moved to the room and everyone was now excited and started waiting for their chance, they just want to look at her and she is there at the ceremonies like of these under the request of the King.
The Instructor said, "Now, let's start from first year, new comers of the Academy, and one by one ten students will enter and move on, after taking the vow, they can leave the Academy or watch the whole Academy, and from tomorrow the classes will begin. Now please, come calmly and take vow to dedicate your everything to the country...new comers, are welcome to the Academy."
And one by one, ten students in the column started entering in the Hall. Eve and I had to wait for a whole hour and now almost our chance was going to come. Eve and I looked ahead and Goddess of Beauty came next to us, and with a sweat said, "Please, you both are not required to kiss at King's hands, I will manage everything...but you both don't, please."
And Eve was confused, we weren't going to do anyways though but her request was strange, but I knew that why she's doing that...because Gods aren't allowed to do that to humans, because Gods are the creator and destroyer of humans, and humans are just creation and did nothing to Gods or for Gods, so bowing down is considered as a disrespect of the human first. Anyways, Beauty moved ahead and went back to the Hall and the next turn of us and with the last eight students, Eve and I also entered in the Hall.
Eve and I looked at the King...and Eve was surprised...he was the one, in the restaurant two weeks ago, she was surprised, and looked at me, but I wasn't surprised and Eve smiled with a sweat, realizing that I already know that and she also didn't care much by it because I wasn't and we both looked in front.
The King was standing at the stage, smiling and at the right side was Yuzui standing and she smiled watching me, and Goddess of Beauty was standing next to her and worrying. Yuzui waved her hand a little bit...and it was making me blushed! I looked down with shyness, couldn't believe that she is still playing with me, and here? I wasn't ready for that, but Goddess of Beauty was giggling watching me and Eve and Eve was looking serious, she's now kind of jealous that Yuzui shows her love everywhere and it made Yuzui sweat but Goddess of Beauty to giggle more, she was still trying to hold her laughter.
But others thought that Yuzui was pointing at them and they all smiled...King didn't understand, and he started sweating and asked from Yuzui with a low voice, "...Is there someone you like?" And Yuzui blushed and she looked down...but Goddess of Beauty pointed at me and the King looked at me, I was looking down with shyness and red cheeks but he noticed Eve, looking a little bit angry and he was left shocked..."It's...she...?"
Goddess of Beauty and Yuzui started sweating, and looked at the King, they would be surprised if the King already knows us. I tried to stop blushing and I just looked in front at the King and he was completely shocked..."...You?"
I waved my hand and with a bright smile said, "Yo, long time no see sir."
And everyone was shocked, and Yuzui and Goddess of Beauty smiled with a sweat, and suddenly all the soldiers aimed their guns at Eve and me and I smiled with a sweat and raised my hand.
"Hey! Take your guns down! Don't even dare to hurt them!" The King ordered and all the soldiers were speechless and they had to their hands down, but the other students were surprised and looked at Eve and me. The King sighed and he laughed and said, "So, how did you come here? You have helped me that time, and I couldn't get a chance to honor you for that, so whatever the reason you are here, I am glad."
"Was everything fine, sir?" I asked and one of the soldier recognized the voice and he came in front of me and looked at me. I smiled and a bright smile also bloomed on his face and he patted on my shoulder and said, "Yo, so it's you, how are you doing bro?"
And everyone was more surprised, and Goddess of Beauty and Yuzui smiled with a sweat realizing that I have done...too much deed, that so many knows me. The King smiled and said, "I don't know but let's end the ceremony and then if you have time to talk to me, then please, I want to talk with you, there's something, so do you have any time?"
"Sure, I will be free for today, so yes." I replied and everyone was confused and shocked that a common guy is known by the King. Yuzui and Goddess of Beauty smiled with a sweat and looked at me, they wanted the answer from me that how.
The ceremony of Eve and I had ended and we both were sitting on a bench and Goddess of Beauty and Yuzui were sitting around me and they all three were shocked by hearing my story, that what actually happened, even Eve was shocked. Eve looked at me...and with confusion she asked, "So much happened...and you didn't tell anything? Not even Sister Sea and Brother Leo knows about that, right?"
I nodded my head, "It wasn't necessary to tell everything, it all worked properly, nothing surprising." And Eve, Yuzui and Goddess of Beauty smiled with a sweat, they realized that I am like that only.
I looked at them realizing something and said, "By the way, Yuzui and ma'am, will you come at my house at night? I have some work this time, there's something we have to discuss about, a very important topic."
Yuzui and Goddess of Beauty were surprised by my request but they all agreed and Eve looked at me with a little bit of sad face and said, "And you won't join me in the discussion, right?"
I smiled with sweat, "...Your sleep is more important than discussion, Eve. You should sleep."
Eve sighed while looking down and said, "That's so unfair, can't you discuss at evening or before the time I go to sleep?" But it was again the same problem, we can't tell about Gods to Eve, we can discuss at anytime, but only at the place where she wouldn't know or hear anything.
The evening arrived, and the King and the soldier were sitting next to me at the bench and Goddess of Beauty and Yuzui had taken away Eve but they three were able to hear everything and they three were just hearing it.
"So you and your sister were just there for a day?" The King smiled and said, "Then I would be lucky that you both appeared at the right time...otherwise, what would have happened to me and the soldiers, so thanks for that."
"You are welcome." I replied and the soldier laughed gently. the King looked at me, and with curiosity asked, "By the way...do Yuzui and you, know each other?" And Yuzui and I smiled and looked down. King smiled and said, "...Is there something between you both?"
And Yuzui and I were blushing, and Eve sighed, now realizing that it can't be helped and she just patted on Yuzui's head now.
"...It's something personal, I don't think I should tell you that...even if it would be nothing, then I still won't tell, because now it comes to my personal things sir." I replied and Yuzui sighed with a great relief. The King laughed and apologized, "Well, I am sorry then to bring that. I didn't want to interfere in your privacy, I am sorry."
Time passed, and the King was looking up at the sky and I didn't understand if it's over or not, for what he called me here...the King was hesitating to come on the main topic, but he took the courage and said, "Hey...Ichiro...can you help me at one thing?"
Goddess of Beauty, Yuzui and I were surprised while Eve had now fall asleep, he has a request for something?
The King looked at me seriously, and said, "There's a guy who was imprisoned somewhere, in the south country from where you came...I think, he shouldn't be punished, he is declared to be executed two weeks later from now on...my request is...please...save him..."
And everyone was surprised.
