Chapter 61 - 61. Paying The First Visit To Aermagh (1/2)
”It was a sight to behold. When the Ruler got hold of the vial, he asked one of his Wizards to look at it and confirmed that it contained the water from the Fountain Of Youth. The Ruler wanted to present me with his gifts but I flatly refuse and said we are doing this service for His Majesty without even asking anything in return.”
”So, right there and then, the Ruler opened up the vial and was about to let that single drop of water drips into his mouth and you do you know what happened in the next few minutes?”
”What happened Uncle Prius? Tell us what happened next...” asked Ingles as they all were excited to listen to the tale, and were clamouring all around him as he builds up the suspense.
”The vial drop to the floor and break and the Ruler lapped it up from the dirty floor like a dog or something?” I asked as I thought that there's the most viable case for a clumsy old 65-year-old man would do...
”A great falcon swooped down and grab the vial and drank it up and became a Tweety Bird?” added Patricia as she imagined something had happened to the vial too as the Ruler was about to drink it.
”Hahahaha... Not really lah. Actually, when he drank the single drop of water that was provided by Audemars here, the Ruler went into a series of transformation. At first, his white hair had totally dropped off from his head, then all his wrinkles disappeared from his face, neck, arms and legs even I think.”
The baldy head suddenly sprouted black hair and his stoop had mysteriously disappeared and it was straightened back again. Within a few minutes, his paunch had gone and he began to regain back as what he was 40 years ago and became a handsome man indeed.”
”The whole Court was in total silence that you could hear a feather that falls to the floor...!!! After the transformation, he let out a terrifying roar and then he sent his Queen to the gallows because she was an old hag anyway. All his concubine were being sent to the dungeons and he chooses new petite 16 to 18-year-olds to be his bedmates.”
”The Ruler took a peek inside his pants and discovered that his baby carrot had grown to be a huge cucumber and since he had regained his youth, Aermagh is celebrating 3 days and 3 nights of merrymaking.”
”Frankly speaking, the Ruler regaining his youth is like hell rebooting and starting afresh. By the way, the Ruler seeks your attendance during the merrymaking. You need to be there soonest possible using the warp travel of my Map.”
”I had no way to reject him because when he was a 65 old man he ruled Aermagh with an iron fist and how he's a 25-year-old dude right now, I don't think he would be much different, in fact, he would be much worse, and rules with an iron arm, body and legs too not just his fists. He would be fisting with his whole arm I guess. Yeah, fisting... ” said Prius replied in a very dejected manner since in a way he felt that he had betrayed me somehow.
”Arch... Since he wants my attendance, what could you do about it? It's either your neck or the town of Ingmery... Haish... Sometimes doing something good would bring bad things to us. Haiya... Don't you worry about it then? Think positive, my man. I'd get ready a few things then.” I said as I went to take a medium basket and place some shampoo and toothpaste in it as a present for the Ruler.
When I was away doing all those I can't help thinking aloud to myself, ”WHAT KIND OF SHIT I HAD BROUGHT MYSELF INTO NOW...?!?!”
I regained my composure when I met Prius. Patricia and the children were worried about my being right now. I patted the children's heads and I kissed Patricia and took advantage of the situation. ”Heh... When would be the time you could kiss your side characters, yeah?”
I had changed to my battle gear complete with my Nipple Buckler, Victory and my light crossbow as I bade everyone and they, in turn, bade me good luck as Prius and I stepped out in the cool evening air.
