Dead?

It was a bright sunny day, with lush green grass everywhere, morning due on the plants, singing of the birds, everything was perfect except one thing...

"No! How can this Big brother be dead? Why did he die so young? Waaaah!". The cries of the little girl were heard across the valley. Hearing her cries, came her guard who couldn't find her. Seeing the girl's reaction to the sleeping boy, he started shaking him violently.

"Hah, such a peaceful day." thought a boy who was near the girl. "Huh? Who's cry…aaaaaah!". The boy could feel himself throwing up everything he ate his Whole life on the man Who caused this. The man on the other side fainted seeing someone come back to life. "A..A ghost" he said.

"Huh? You're not dead?", the girl was taken aback. "Dead? gosh, I was just sleeping", "Who are you, where did you come from, you better give me a good reason for what you did", said the boy angrily.

Before the girl could say anything, a woman came and picked her up. "Where had you been? Do you have any ideas how worried I was?", said the lady. "Mother that Mr. came back to life"

"What...?" the woman looked at the boy hopping for an explanation.

"I was having the most peaceful moment of my life, when your daughter came and ruined it. Mam, she can kill a perfectly fine man in his sleep", said the boy.

"Oh!, My apologies." She felt sorry. "This is why I don't let you go out", she scolded the girl. "I apologize again, I'm the Queen of this kingdom, and she is my precious daughter, Sana"

"The queen? I feel like I'm forgetting something" The boy was lost in thought. "Oh! I remember" He then bowed down a bit, with his left leg behind the right, one hand on his back and the other on his chest. "Greetings to the Moon, the Queen of the nation", he said.

"Huh? Impressive. You look like a commoner, never thought you could greet so well", she looked at the boy amazed.

"I just read it in the books" (boy)

When the two were talking, someone was looking at the boy with sparkling eyes. "Mother, I want him as my new servant" (Sana)

"He's well-mannered and not bad looking either. He's young he can be tought well.", thought the queen. "Would you like to come to the palace with me?" (Queen)

"I apologise but, I want to live in peace", replied the boy.

"Then at least come to get a gift as an apology" (Queen)

"Ok" (Boy)

He followed them to their royal carriage. It had four houses attached to it, was in the shape of a white crown symbolising the Royals of this nation. With blue windows it seemed to be ornamented with sapphires. It was beautiful. When he got inside the carriage, the interior inside took him aback. The seats were red, with white stones at places to make it look elegant. They were so soft he felt like he was in the clouds. The carriage then started moving, and he looked outside the window.

"So, how much do you know about the royal family?" (Queen)

"Not much, I just read about it in books that the royal couple have only one child and that they are special as they are the only ones who can communicate with angels" (Boy)

The Queen looked at the boy. He had glowing orange hair, cyan eyes just like her own. The boys skin wasn't too white, but he wasn't dark either. She couldn't help but feel sad.

"If my son were still alive maybe he'd look like you", said the queen with a gloomy face.

"Son?", said the boy from shock.

"ya, people don't know that I also had a son since he died too soon" (queen)

"Anyway, you can have this magazine to know more about us" (queen)

The boy opened the book.

"Huh? What's written in it?", thought the boy.

"Mother why is this Mr. holding the book upside down?" (Sana)

The boy quickly fixed the book before the queen turned around to take a look.

"What do you mean, princess?" (Queen)

"Not fair, you fixed it before she could see" (Sana)

"Come to think of it, I still don't know your name" (Queen)

"Right, it seems I forgot to introduce myself" (boy)

"My name's Anex" (boy)

"it's a nice name" (queen)

"Thank you" (boy)

Anex then started reading the book.
