The Last Surviver - part 2

Could it really be Alwin Cullen? He is a demon! Alwin killed his own little sister just so he could take the throne! Merciless! I must get away. He’d have no bother murdering me if he finds me.

I put my hand on the handle of the window, ready to open it and jump out but was blinded by a person with hair as white as snow and yellow snake-like eyes. He shined so brightly I had to squeeze my eyes shut tightly. 100% my type.

“Don’t bother. The windows are locked. You shall remain here until we confirm your identity.”

I stared in fear and somewhat disbelief. That’s him. Everyone knew him as a fun, jolly man… That is until he turned 19 years old. When he turned 19 he experienced many traumatising incidents. For one, someone poisoned his mother and the king put the blame on Alwin. I wish I could’ve been there for him.

I suddenly realised that if he’s around 19 to 20 years old then, sweet Arora here would only be 9 or 10, 10 years younger than her older brother! I looked at her. I finally got to see my little angel. I’d been waiting my whole life and was in total awe, my eyes twinkling as a beam of light shone down onto her.

“Hey! My sister’s only 9!”

“Oh my goodness, I know! She’s just so cute I swear. Nothing weird!” I said, obviously very embarrassed. He shot me a look of disbelief and I defended myself again. “I’m only 16!”

He finally looked away after looking like he was considering it for a short while. What is his problem?

My identity was verified by strangers and with the help of the System I passed.

It’s around midnight. It’s dark outside and there are a few stars in the sky. It’s a full moon tonight. I’m still waiting for the final result. I still don’t have many answers at all. Looking on the other side of the room I see Alwin and Arora fast asleep next to each other. They look close and like they have a good relationship so did he really kill her to take the throne? I can’t wait for all of this to be over. With my eyes still on the sleeping pair I start to think. Arora is as sweet as an angel but Alwin is as hot and sinister-looking as a devil. What a contrast. What’s left when meeting both a devil and an angel? God of beauty? Would that be those other three brothers of hers? I start to smile but just as quickly suppress it in case he’s only pretending to be asleep.

I lie back and close my eyes. Everyone else is sleeping after all. I decide to propose being the guard of the princess. A knight, perhaps.

-------------------------------

It’s light outside now. I slept well but I feel like doing some light exercise to rid of the stiffness from staying in bed for so long. Wait-- what about the wound from yesterday? I can’t even feel it. I look down to where it used to be. Gone.

“Treated by the imperial doctor.” Alwin informed me smugly.

“Prince, what’re you going to do with me now?”

“Now you’re healed and had your identity confirmed, we're releasing you.”

“Oh.. How kind.. Though I do still need to recover my memories. Everything’s jumbled and I don’t even know where I am!” I looked up at him, hoping greatly he’d help me. Please let me stay. I tear up just thinking about my old world and my black card. It’d be so much easier in my old world.

“True…” Alwin considered. “Well then I’ll send you to our knight commander. He’ll assign you to a quarter based on your skills.”

I hesitated.

“Host, accept. In this way we could protect Miss Arora without any problem!”

I was hoping for this last night but did not consider my lack of fighting skills. I shrug. Nothing to do but accept my fate!

“Okay…” I sigh.

Time to wash.. To take a shower with no distraction in this bathroom was almost impossible. It was so brightly decorated and featured an abundance of gemstones everywhere. Not my taste. Far too bright.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

After a while we went down to the training ground where thousands of knights were training. I was not looking forward to this. I regret not taking the martial arts classes Pa had arranged for me that time. I noticed Alwin and the commander discussing something just before I was approached by the knight commander himself. “Hey, you! You from Quarter Four.” He called over a boy (or was it a girl?) with long blonde hair and a smooth face, like a cute woman. He reached the both of us.

“Yes, Commander.” the long haired stranger said. He had the deepest voice I’d ever heard and it was attractive. If only real men were as beautiful, I thought to myself admiring him.

“Spar with this person here.”

I suddenly snapped out of it. “Wait what-?” I looked at the commander with concern written all over my face.

“You two are going to spar.”

“Oh god.”
