Chapter 47: 47: Calming Pills


Eden said "Queen Elizabeth is giving you some face. She doesn’t want to embarrass you for your unruly ways. And yet you’re not taking any hints..but rather you’re getting wilder"


Eden sighed "Don’t you think that’s embarrassing of you? My Queen?"


Queen Lea gasped. She looked around and then glared at Eden "You little... I’ll make sure you pay"


She snapped as she angrily stormed off, leaving Eden and Queen Elizabeth there.


Eden smiled. She knew her character. Even though she made all claims and all, Queen lea was just another stereotypical dumb whiny villain character. Similar to Cordelia’s character.


So he knew how to handle them.


Now Eden turned to Queen Elizabeth "You should stop putting up with her. Speak for yourself for once at least"


Queen Elizabeth said nothing. She casually turned and walked off with her lady-in-waiting.


Eden sighed "The book never told us what her problem was and why she and Elvis got like this. We never got there in the novel"


He shocked his head as he turned to Lenny who was staring at him from the ground "What?"


"Don’t you think you’re getting too involved with the story?" Lenny asked.


"I already started getting too involved when I escaped death. So it doesn’t matter" Eden said "So let’s go get the pill"


*****


Eden led the way and soon they arrived at the Lab of the Royal Physician.


The Royal Physician was alone there, cooking up some medical pills while going through some books.


As soon as he saw Eden walk in, he panicked. Stepping backwards. He had recognised the Wizard of EL.


"What are... Are you doing here...?" He asked, reaching out to get some medical herbs he believed would ward him off from the Wizard’s evil spells.


He held it up to his chest "What do you want..?"


Eden looked around. He watched Lenny move stroll on the books on the table, looking for the medicine he had taken before.


"I’m here for a pill" Eden said, waiting for Lenny to find it a image of it or so.


Soon, he did. Eden picked up the image of the pill "I want a calming pill for the effects of this"


"Why...?" The Royal Physician seemed horrified.


Eden glared at him. His expression, cold. He knew the Royal Physician was scared of him, so he was going to use that to his advantage.


"Question me one more time and I’ll have your life" Eden threatened.


"I’ll get it" The Royal Physician instantly cried out as he rushed to get it.


Eden smiled watching him bring out a bag of pills.


"Here..." he handed it to Eden "Please spare my life..."


Eden smiled, accepting the bag of pills "Thanks. keep making more, I’ll come get them from time to time. This will be our little secret. Remember, don’t let anyone know. Unless you’ll die the next time you sleep"


"I ... I won’t say a word" The Royal Physician had peed in his pants.


Eden blinked "I’ll be off then"


*******


The Day arrived. The Day the second prince was returning.


Prince Lysander.


It was a grand reception at the Palace.


The entrance was beautifully decorated as guards lined up at the sides. The servants and maids were at the distance, also waiting for the Prince’s return.


The reception had started from the market place where the people cheered on his return. And soon he was finally at the palace gates where his Royal family waited for him.


Prince Lysander sat on his white horse, looking elegant and majestic. And in the company of the guards and royal assistants he went on the task with.


As soon as the Youth sighted his family, he gave a bright smile. One that solidified the fact that he was still a youngster indeed.


He looked youthful and jovial. Unlike Elvis who gave a more cold and matured aura, he looked more approachable.


His horse came to a stop as Prince Lysander alighted from it. Queen lea and the king were the first to approach him.


"Oh my dear son! I’ve missed you so much" Queen lea gave him a big hug.


He reciprocated the hug. And also hugged the king.


"You look so grown up now after leaving for just few months! And you look so mature too" The king commended.


"Thank you Father" Prince Lysander smiled. His voice jovial and youthful.


Prince Lysander instantly looked ahead at Elvis who stood at a distance. He walked up to him with a smile.


"It’s been a while! I’ve missed you indeed. Did you miss me?" Prince Lysander reached out for a hug. A one sided huge because Elvis didn’t reciprocate. He casually patted Lysander’s back.


"Welcome home" Elvis said casually.


"How have you been? I heard you’re sick? Where are you sick? Are you taking your pills? Have you recovered? I brought some special pills for you on my trip. I believe it’ll help you"


Prince Lysander sounded enthusiastic towards Elvis. He cared. It was obviously he valued his elder brother.


But Elvis was just casual about it all "Don’t worry about me. I’m Okay"


Queen lea rolled her eyes as she approached Lysander "Let’s go inside. I prepared a lot for you"


Prince Lysander greeted Queen Elizabeth who stood at a corner there. And then after greeting her, he went back to Elvis.


"I also brought some fun things from my trip. Do you want to have a look together? They’re fun" Prince Lysander enthusiastically offered.


"I’m ok. You can enjoy it alone" Elvis replied.


"Are you still a kid or what? You’re 19. Why would you pick up stuff from there to play with? Let’s go" Queen lea said dragging him off.


"But I want to show it to him..." Prince Lysander insisted as they dragged him off.


Soon they all began retiring back into the palace to Settle down. Prince Lysander was left to settle back into his room after a long time away from home. Queen Lea helped him settle.


And the maids had gone to begin making preparations for dinner.
