Chapter 34: 34: I’m Hungry


"Wizard?" Mr Hugo repeated "He is inside his chamber? Why?"


Adrian didn’t even bother asking further questions. He instantly staggered towards the chamber he had left Eden in.


Mr Hugo followed, holding onto Adrian who seemed like one that could fall anytime soon.


"My Lord take it easy... You don’t look too well.." He said.


But Adrian didn’t care.


He had finally gotten to the chamber where Eden was kept in. And all they saw were guards on the floor too.


Lenny had taken care of spreading the incense smell all over to send everyone around in a deep, unconscious state.


"Get up you bastards!" Adrian kicked at the guards who instantly got up to their feet, looking disorganised.


Adrian didn’t bother talking to them, he pushed open the door to the chamber. But the room was empty.


They looked in and saw no one. Eden was gone.


"He.. he.." Mr huge muttered "He was right here last night.. where did he go?"


"That bastard..." Adrian signed, Clenching his fist "He escaped"


**********


Eden got up in bed with Lenny laying on his stomach.


He felt refreshed having slept in a royal environment and on an extremely soft bed. It was a first time.


He felt good having taken a good nap ever since he entered this chaotic world. And now he felt hungry.


Eden’s stomach grumbled, waking Lenny up.


"I want to go grab something" He said as he got down from bed.


Eden left Lenny in there to sleep some more as he made his way to the door.


He opened it to meet the guards at his door "I’m hungry. I want to go and eat"


"Stay there. We’ll have them prepare something for you to eat" One of the guards said.


Eden paused. They could poison him if they were to get him something to eat. He couldn’t trust anyone with his meal.


Eden knew he had to get it himself.


"Don’t worry, I’ll get it myself" He smiled.


"But you can’t..."


"I said I’ll get it myself" Eden interrupted him "Or do you want me to call the Crown Prince on you?"


The guards said nothing. They left Eden to go get his own meal.


******


Eden strolled aimlessly around the palace hallway looking for the Royal Kitchen. It was the only place he knew he could get a meal. Or preferably, cook for himself.


It was the safest thing to do.


But after almost an hour of strolling through the place, he wasn’t getting anywhere.


"Why is this place so huge? I mean.. isn’t there some sort of map or something?" Eden thought. He didn’t have his phone for a Google map. Shit.


But luckily he found something better.


He caught sight of some maids walking in a fine straight line. All holding plates of different mouthwatering dishes.


They were all headed in one direction. And Eden could tell where it was.


The Royal Dining.


Eden could tell they were all bringing breakfast for the royal family. And the meals looked super good.


"Woah, I can’t believe they get to eat all that this morning" Eden forgot to close his mouth as he watched them pass.


His stomach sang as he tried covering it. "I want some too" he said.


It wouldn’t be too appropriate for him to dine with them on the royal table. But Eden didn’t care at the moment.


He was under the crown prince after all. And with the disguise of having lost his memory and clinging to the Crown prince as a friend, he could get away with it. Right?


And so Eden gave in to his stomach and followed the maids headed to the Royal Dining.


*******


Elvis didn’t wish to join The King and Queens on the dining table for breakfast, but the king had ordered he did.


And so Elvis came out for breakfast against his will.


He sat down in his sitting position. King Edward, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Lea were also seated around the table.


While the maids, servants and the guards stood around the big and grand looking Dining room decorated in gold.


"You rarely join us for breakfast" King Edward pointed out "I know you might be busy or whatever, but it’s a family duty for you to eat together with your family at least"


Elvis said nothing. He never enjoyed doing so. It was only going to be awkward and annoying for him in the long run. So he’d rather excuse himself than sit with them.


"He always thinks he’s better than everyone" Queen lea muttered "He can’t even sit down and dine with us"


Elvis didn’t reply to any of them. He casually sat there while they waited for the meal to be served.


The King discussed some political issues with Elvis for a while on the dining table before the meals finally arrived.


They sat there as they watched the maids bring in the meals. And then the maids began serving the meals. Dispersing and arranging them.


Soon they were done and they were all ready to eat.


"Let’s say our prayers" The King said as they all closed their eyes and began reciting the prayers before the meal.


They were soon done. And as soon as they opened their eyes, they were met with the sight of an unfamiliar member.


Eden was sitting on the seat beside Elvis’s seat. And his fingers were already picking up the huge meat that sat on Elvis’s plate.


"Good Gracious! What in the name of Jupiter is that thing doing on our table?!" Queen lea was stunned.


All eyes were on Eden who was licking his lips while poking the meat. His whole attention on Elvis’s plate.


"The audacity! What the hell are you doing on the royal table?!" The King snapped.


Eden didn’t look their way at all, His eyes and attention were still on the meat.


Now Elvis grabbed his hands away from the meat. Eden now looked up at Elvis. Their eyes met.


"What are you doing here?" Elvis was stunned.


"I’m hungry?" Eden pouted. His stomach sang.
