The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 67: A vacation

It's been a month since the noble journalist went missing after posting an article about the Lyfrone Academy. Nobody knows where he went because he just disappeared after the morning newspaper reached the public. Some individual is secretly spreading rumours that his disappearance has some connection with the academy. But nobody is standing up. The public is acting as if nothing happened. Because Lyfrone is the center of every business. If they rebel against it, the academy higher-ups might blow out the whole territory.

Well, I warned him. But it's his fault that he didn't care about it. He got some nerves to say that Lyfrone is a place where they teach students black magic, the students are the follower of a dark demon lord who is plotting to kill all the humans by the never-ending winter? Did someone hurt his pride as a noble or something?

Viktor didn't know that it was he who put a scratch on David's pride a few weeks ago.

"Adonis, how's everything going?"

"A news came out this morning, master. The crown prince was assassinated last night. Nobody knows who killed him. But the king is trying his best to capture the culprit."

Oh…It is the time already?

"I see," Viktor replied with no shocked expression on his face.

"Another news came to my ears, it's a rumour to be exact. The second prince was behind the crown prince's assassination. But he's too young to kill the prince so nobody is actually suspecting him to be the culprit."

He's the real culprit behind his assassination. He was aiming for the crown from a very young age. But his stepbrother from the first queen became an obstacle to his goal.

Heh.. What a damn family. My step-grandfather used to have four wives and he lived a great life without any problems.

The king of the Vestrain kingdom has three wives. All three of them have two or three children.

The first male lead, 'William De Azadevel' is the first son of the second queen and the second prince of the kingdom. In the early beginning of the story, the successor battle was held in the imperial family and the first prince showed every qualification of becoming the crown prince. So, the king declared his first son as the crown prince to the kingdom.

But, the second prince was plotting something else behind the king's back. After a week of the declaration ceremony, he took some help from a dark magician of the slave market and gave him a huge amount of money to kill the crown prince.

So, as a frightful businessman, the dark magician killed the crown prince and took more than a million gold bank balance from the second prince.

The second prince was only 15 years old, but he is a greedy person who will get what he wants by any means.

Soon, the king will declare the second prince as the crown prince after a fake culprit will be framed. I didn't expect the time to be passing this quickly. It's been almost two years since I came to this world. The early beginning is already knocking on the door, the story is gradually developing as I wrote, and all the character settings are good to go. I feel like I'm working as a director of some roleplay.

Adonis came inside his bedroom by knocking on the door and said, "Master, It's almost evening. You have been on the bed since morning without any meal," his voice was filled with concern as he moved forward to remove his blanket. "You have to get off the bed master."

"Ugh!"

"Master, You are also skipping your classes these days. Your principal came by this noon to check on you but you were sleeping like a bear."

"Hm? The principal visited our house? Did he say something?"

"Yes, he wants you to attend the classes."

Tsk! That old fart.

Viktor came out of his room and saw Nor standing on the staircase. His stare was so intense that Viktor could feel that all over his body. "Did you kill big brother?" Nor asked with a rough tone of his voice. He was also depressed for the first prince's death.

"Why would I kill someone from the imperial family? I don't hold any grudge against the royals."

"Then, who killed him?"

"That's something which I don't know."

There's no way I will reveal the real culprit behind it. It's my trump card to corner the first male lead.

But Nor wasn't satisfied with the answer, so he got on his knees on the mid stairs and said, "Please!! Help me capture the culprit! I promise that I will work as your slave for the rest of my life! Even if it costs me everything, I will gladly sacrifice it! So, please, help me!!"

Oh? So he was close with the first prince?

Viktor took a quick glance in his record and saw his history with the first prince when he was inside the imperial castle. The fact that Nor was his stepbrother was well-known to the first prince way before Nor did. So, he always treated him like an equal and when the time came, he helped him run away to save his life. He was always there like a shade on his head. So, the prince was a role model to him.

The reason behind Nor's anger was this all along.

"The king's knights are powerful enough to capture the culprit. I don't think that I can help you with such a thing. I am even surprised that he died in such a way." He intentionally lied by concealing his words. Because there was no reason for him to put his nose where it doesn't belong.

"Are you sure the king will search for him?" Nor asked.

"Yes, don't worry. Everything will come out in the light. You don't have to show the back of your neck for any request."

It's the peak hours of the story. So, I won't tolerate any mistakes because this might harm the plot or worse, abolished.

Hah! I need a vacation to set my mind before I enter the story as an extra. But where should I go… My winter vacation is almost near, so I should start packing my bags.

Next day in the evening…

Viktor ran into Adonis's room and he became speechless.

Adonis was leaning on his bed with a blanket made of silk covering half of his body. He looked like he was ready to kill hundreds of women with that look.

Viktor looked around and saw a human skeleton in a dancing pose as a decorative item in the corner of his room.

"You don't have to stand up. Just be seated as you were before. I'm here to talk about a matter.", Viktor sat on the corner of his soft bed and looked above to see the other decorations Adonis made.

"What do you want to talk about master?"

"I want to go on a vacation this winter. Do you have any suggestions about any places?"

"Vacation in this winter, master? It would be great if you visit the Southern parts of this continent. I heard Hevel is filled with Islands and they have the best on-water inns."

Hm? A Maldives version?

"On-water inns?" Viktor asked him with great curiosity.

"Yes, master. They don't have enough land to make inns for travellers. So they build houses on the water. It's a great place to visit "

Viktor was hesitating because of the water. So, he asked if the land under the water was too deep or shallow. "No, the water level is under your knee so you don't have to be afraid."

"Then I guess we are all going to Hevel. Book a first-class room for four people on the ship."

Adonis was so surprised to hear his master. "You are taking us with you master?" He asked.

"Yes? Why would I go on a vacation alone? Vacation is fun when a family is together. We are going to have so much fun."

Adonis was barely holding his tears after hearing his master's words. He was so happy that his master thinks of him as a family. So, it was the best day of his life. "Master, I will book a room for us tomorrow to Hevel. I will inform the others about this."

Hehe! He's really happy that I called him a part of my family. Well, he really is my family. I can't leave them alone and have fun all by myself. I should share what I have with them too.

A week later at the port.

The ship bell was ringing to call the passengers at the port. It was the last ship to the Havel port, so the crowd going inside the ship was intense. The black smoke was emitting out of the engine room as they started to ride the cold waves.

"All aboard!! All Aboard!!" A sailor man shouted to close the dock to stop the illegal passengers riding the back of the ship.

The cold wind was rough as it blew through the ears of Viktor but it didn't bother him that much. He was enjoying the view from the tip of the ship's front.

"Master, your luggage is all inside the room. Kathryn and Nor are also inside. It's about time to rest your eyes, master. You've been awake since yesterday."

Adonis put a scarf around Viktor's neck and walked two steps back from him as an act of respect.

"I like the view, Adonis. Looks like I am going to see the stars all night again.", Viktor was gazing at the stars.

"Master, may I take a seat beside you?"

Hm? He's asking for a seat? That's a new one.

"Yes, you are allowed to take a seat beside me anytime you want. You don't have to ask."

"Then, excuse me."

Adonis took a seat and looked above like Viktor and said, "Master, do you think there is any world like us somewhere in this universe?"

Viktor was genuinely shocked to hear the question he asked. So he said, "I don't know what made you think like that but yes. There are countless worlds like ours in a different dimension."

Adonis kept quiet for some moment and said, "Then master, do you think that it's possible to travel to a different world without dying?"

Just what kind of Albert Newton is messing inside your head that made you think like that?-_-. Man! This intelligent punk is making me question my own brain.

"It's possible. But we don't know the exact path that leads to it."

"Does my master love his own world that he used to live in? Please don't mind my insolence. I was just asking out of curiosity."

So he knew that I'm not from here…No wonder why he was asking me such a question.

"It was miserable. Full of regrets, pain, suffering, and sorrow. Why do you ask?"

Adonis looked at him and said with a soft smile, "I want to visit the world my master used to live in and beat those people's souls out who made my master suffer."

"Ptff hahahaha!! Oh my.. so this is what you were thinking about!! I don't know how to go back, but I'm okay here Adonis. I am living here peacefully with you guys. You guys are my new family now so I don't have any regrets about my past life. I am grateful for what I have now."

The sky became clearer than before and the hidden stars showed up in the sky. Then, he saw something that recalled his memories. Far away in the stars, a tiny white dot became visible. It was an image that everyone on earth claimed as their home. The Milky way galaxy.

The nearest galaxy to the milky way galaxy was the Andromeda galaxy which was visible to the naked eye.

So, he was so sure that the planet he was living on was in the Andromeda galaxy. He was 2.5 million llightyears away from his hometown.

"Master, what are you looking at with that expression?" Adonis asked.

"See that white dot?" He pointed his finger towards a group of stars. "That's where I used to live. The earth."

End Of Volume 1.

Note:::

Hiii readers. I'm so happy plus sad to announce that my exam is on 17th of this month. I am really lucky that I got to finish the first volume before my "exam-execution" because I studied nothing -_-.

I won't take any long break because I have only 6 subjects.

The next volume will start with Viktor joining his book story with the other main character of his book. I will introduce his book's main characters as soon as the story begins.

So, Wish a good winter vacation to Viktor and a good exam for me :) .

Or else I will never find a good husband if I fail which is the worst case scenario.

Have a good day and thank you for supporting me ;) . I will be back soon so stay tuned. And be careful readers. I feel like the pandemic is coming back again.
