The next morning, Hans received a phone call from Director Jackson. They would be meeting with Professor Clinton, a historian, and an antique collector. According to Director Jackson, he was the one who examined the drawing and concluded that it must be from the Kingdom of Heathern.They agreed to meet at the restaurant near the hospital where Hans was working. As Hans glanced at his watch, he noticed that it was almost 1 in the afternoon and the meeting time was at pm. He walked out of his office and asked the nurse who was outside, “Do I have another patient scheduled this afternoon?”The nurse checked her computer and looked at the patient’s list. After checking it twice, she looked up and said, “There’s none Dr. Lee. You are free this whole afternoon. Your next appointment is still tomorrow at 8.”Hans nodded and went back inside. He immediately took off his doctor’s robe and took his bag from the chair. Before he went to the restaurant, he took a turn to Jonathan’s office first.
The evening that same day, Hans went home right after their talk with Professor Clinton. On his way home, he keeps on contemplating the things Professor Clinton had said. He keeps on hovering over the rumors about King Dominique of Heathern and Princess Everly of Amsterdam.He didn’t understand why his mind was bugging him off. Hans couldn’t understand why he was feeling strange after hearing about Princess Everly… It was just a princess from the past so why he couldn’t shake it off his mind.As soon as he reached his home, he went directly to his study and started searching for information about the dynasty that existed 1000 years ago. ‘Princess Everly… Just who are you?’Right after Director Jackson sent Professor Clinton home, he immediately rushed back to the company. He pushed back some of his appointments today to make time for their afternoon meeting with Professor Clinton.He was hoping that it helped Hans a bit in his search… But it is still hard to locate the person who has
Everly glanced at her back and saw that it was the Moon Goddess. She smiled gently and replied, “Pain and happiness can be felt at the same time… Even if it tortures me because of missing them, it still brought me joy at the same time knowing that they are living happily.”After the eruption that had happened on the rooftop, Everly woke up in a different dimension. She thought that she would instantly vanish after the explosion however she was brought to this place by the Moon Goddess.According to the Moon Goddess, this place is called the Redemption Haven. Her whole existence didn’t vanish completely. She didn’t know why and the Moon Goddess won’t tell her as well.However, no matter what the reason behind it, she was thankful. She was given the chance to see her loved ones once more. Even if it was only her who can see them, it was more than enough for her. Even if the longing is killing her, it’s okay. She was still relieved and happy by just watching them.The Moon Goddess took h
Hans felt down after hearing it. No one knew where they went and when will they come back. It’s like all his hopes were crushed instantly. What should he do then?…Anthony noticed the change in his expression. Professor Clinton had told him that this necklace was very important to Dr. Lee. And looking at his dejected expression, it was indeed the case. He can’t help but feel strange, why is it so important to him.Looking at the woman in the portrait, it’s like it was painted so many years ago. And also, that necklace doesn’t look like it was made in the modern days. So, why was he so interested in it?After a long silence, Anthony broke it by asking a question, “Dr. Lee, is it okay for me to ask you something personal?”Hans nodded while still looking outside the window. “Fire away.”Anthony cleared his throat, “Dr. Lee, why are you so interested in the necklace?”Hans was taken aback for a moment but then made a heavy sigh later on, “I had an accident before. I was in a coma for a c
It took Hans and Anthony almost 5-hours to reach the town. It was called Canes Village. According to Anthony, it was the oldest village in their city. A lot of their cultural history still lingered on in this village.So, only a few people are living in this town. Aside from its distance from the city, this place was well-preserved by their government. If a person wanted to live here or wanted to put up a business, there are a lot of rules and regulations that they should follow. Aside from that, the lots in this area were pretty much expensive.When Hans entered the village, he was amazed as to what he had seen. The infrastructure that he has seen was like a replica of the houses in ancient history. There’s a tall brick wall with their one-story houses. The roof has this ancient-Chinese style with its huge gates in front.It was very peaceful and quiet when they entered. “This place was very well-preserved by the government. They wanted to have a place where people can see their hist
Hours passed by but Hans continued on his search. He had already read a couple of journals in the library but still, the information he wanted was nowhere to be found. There’s still no book that answers the rumors about King Dominique’s unusual death in the past.Among all the books he had read, he saw some journals written by historians in those eras about the culture and ethnicity of the great Kingdom of Heathern. From their past rulers, cultures, wars they’ve won, and the kingdom during the reign of King Dominique.But there’s also something that he found mysterious. There’s no record of what happened to the queen of Heathern after she was removed from her position. And how did the royal regime turn into a diplomatic era right after the fall of King Dominique? Is it a total coincidence pr someone was indeed behind it?“Hey, still haven’t found the information you want?” Anthony’s voice came from behind which made Hans pause from his work. He was currently sitting in a corner of the
Hans opened the cover of the transparent container glass on the book. He carefully took the old book in his hand and intently looked at the title written in bold letters on the cover. “King Dominique’s Memoirs, so I’m guessing this is the one. This will answer those doubts of mine.”Hans looked around and found a bright corner to read these books. He can’t wait to read the contents of this journal. As Hans sat down on his chair, the first page of the book was a portrait of him. He didn’t know but he felt something familiar. He felt familiar to do the portrait. ‘Where did I see this face again?’ he carefully thought and racked his brains up but nothing came out.But he was sure though that he had seen this face before. It’s just he can’t remember when and where exactly he had seen it. He flipped to the next page and saw the first entry.‘Writing something like this is not something I usually do. When my hand touched a brush, it’s always to write a law and orders to my officials. Writin
‘This is it!’ Hans exclaimed in his mind. This is finally the answer he was looking for. Those weren’t rumors at all!… King Dominique and Princess Everly really did have a romantic relationship in the past.Hans couldn’t help but feel elevated. He didn’t know why he was happy knowing that they were indeed in a relationship. It became clear to him. The reason why he was so eager to know the past of King Dominique and Princess Everly. It’s because he was hoping that the rumors weren’t just rumors. He hoped that it was a fact. It indeed has happened.This proves why he felt delighted and relieved after reading this entry… In law and reality, what King Dominique and Princess Everly had was an affair. After all, King Dominique was a married man and already had a wife for himself.And he wasn’t a supporter of adultery. For him, adultery is a very big crime because it destroys a family. Not just the married couple but also includes their children, if they have one.But, when he learned how K
