Chapter 63: 63: I’ll Show Y’all.
Everyone began mumbling at his words as the King retaliated.
"How dare you speak to my wife like that?!"
Eden smiled "Well you have a really interesting and jobless wife who goes around causing silly messes and throwing blame"
Eden didn’t wish to speak directly. He didn’t want to expose her here. It didn’t seem like a good idea, it’d escalate things more.
So Eden decided to leave it for later.
"But you should at least teach your wife some moral ethics for shutting up after causing some mess. It’d at least gather her points in heaven"
"Shut up!" The king snapped, defensive.
"I will" Eden said "As long as you never raise that filthy hands of yours against my person again. Because if you do, I’ll make sure you don’t get to use any part of your body again. You can also say goodbye to the baby maker down there"
Everyone knew where Eden was hinting as King Edward stepped back while placing a hand over his crotch.
Adrain who was watching at a distance found himself smiling at Eden’s words. He found it interesting. But he also had things he wanted to say.
"Are you two lovers then?" Adrian asked out of the bloom, catching the attention of everyone around.
They all stared in his direction. While considering his words and waiting for Eden’s reply.
Adrian continued with a smile "I’m pretty curious to know what your relationship with him is. Since he is your personal person, I can’t help but to think the rumours are true. And that you two may actually be lovers"
With his words, people started nodding.
"It could be. He looks so protective of him. Maybe they’re actually lovers" A noble lady said.
"Oh that’s so... Interesting " another smiled.
"Forbidden lovers" another added as they smiled.
All eyes were now on Eden, waiting for his reply. But Eden casually stared at Adrian with a smile. "It will be whatever you make of it. Whatever you think it is that satisfies your curiosity, then we shall have it as that"
"Interesting" Adrian smiled as he sipped down the glass of wine in his hands "But how can the wizard Of EL protect his so-called lover, when rumour also has it that he is already powerless"
Everyone mumbled again as they nodded to his words.
Adrain continued "It’s said that his powers were sealed and he isn’t as great as he was before. So I wonder if all his words of threat right now are even worth shivering to"
Eden paused as he stared at Adrian. Their eyes meeting.
Eden was almost caught in the spot. He found himself panicking for a while. Because now everyone had their eyes on him, expecting his words eagerly.
"It’s true. I also heard it"
"His powers were clearly sealed, do you think the crown prince gave him back his powers?"
"I don’t think so. Never heard about that."
"So how can he be so confident if he is powerless?"
"I don’t know. Maybe he’s just blabbing? Maybe he’s actually powerless"
"I don’t know"
People were already speculating and Eden could hear all they said. He stood there firmly, staring at Adrain, without saying anything.
Adrian was still smiling. Feeling good about the fire he had started for Eden now.
"It’s true" Queen Lea had chipped in "Why is he being so chatty when he’s powerless?"
She looked at her husband "Take that powerless chatty bastard down. How dare he talk down on you like that??"
King Edward was now more confident "You little brat. You really have asked for your death"
But Eden urged himself to stay calm and play it cool. He might not have explicitly planned for this, but at least he had a backup plan for it. Lenny.
Slowly Eden smiled and soon followed by a soft laughter. One that left everyone there confused.
While they wondered Why Eden was even laughing, Eden stared at Adrian again and said
"Is that why you’re so hopeful? Because I haven’t used my powers? So you’re probably rejoicing over the fact that I’ve lost it?" He questioned.
"Tsk tsk tsk" Eden clicked his tongue as he shocked his head "How silly of you mortals to think you actually have brains"
He now smiled as he said "Sure indeed. My powers were sadly sealed off. But..."
He paused as he stared at everyone around him one my one "Does anyone want to come forward and see if I’m actually powerless?"
It wasn’t a question. It was a threat and people had stepped backwards. No one dared.
Eden smiled as he continued, now staring at Adrian "A powerful wizard’s powers doesn’t only hint at his powers. If so, then he’d be a mere wizard. Don’t you think so?"
Eden scoffed.
But Adrian still had his smile on "Then what else do you have? Protection from the Royal family?"
His words had caused some people to murmur. They wondered what protection from the royal family he was talking about.
And while they did, Eden smirked as he turned, now facing Elvis on the floor as he smiled "Sure. Then I guess I’ll have to kill everyone in here to make sure that not a single soul in here ever questions the great wizard of EL"
Eden said as everyone is now stiffened.
They didn’t understand what he meant by that. All they could do was look around wondering what he was getting to.
Some people had even begun holding themselves tightly while looking around.
"What does he mean by that?" Someone asked.
"I don’t know, I think he wants to use some powers!" Someone pointed out, shivering.
"We’re doomed" another said.
Panicked, they all stared around wondering what Eden was about doing. Even Queen Lea and the King were looking panicked.
Only Adrian and Leo were looking calm as they stared at Eden, curious to see what he was about to pull.
Eden casually stood there, his back against them with both hands behind him.
He smiled.
