Dreams To Return: The God Of The Tower
64. To guide the future King (1)

The sunlight that burst in through the curtains managed to disturb the young man's sleep and in a confused state he woke up on a mattress. His eyes explored the room and then he rubbed his "yesterday face... What's the matter." he muttered softly, trying to remember what happened yesterday but in the end he didn't remember anything.

The sound of the door rang out and from there a man of the same stature as himself entered carrying a breakfast rifle and warm lemon tea, as if he knew that Novan had woken up. Without saying anything he put the food near Novan waiting for Novan to pick it up.

Novan paused for a moment to get the figure and then spoke "your tumben is good, Fobetor" in a tone of wonder. Instead of answering Novan's curiosity, the figure laughed. Novan looked at him more and more with a confused and strange look, he then took lemon tea and drank it before Novan choked on hearing the answer from the figure.

"I'm not Fobetor"

Novan coughed for a moment before then actually paying attention to the figure. His face was similar to Novan's but one thing he could confirm that the figure was not lying was the gentle smile the figure put on, a smile that Novan could not do. "M-morpheus?!" The figure smiled and nodded.

"Yes, is there something I can help you with?"

Novan heard a noise from the door, where Leviathan was seen peering along with Mammon and Fobetor, Novan can't remember when the three men became so close but he knows that all three are equally reluctant to enter, unlike the custom of those who always enter Novan's room without permission.

"Don't worry, I won't let them in if you don't" Morfeus said in response to the confusion in Novan's head, not only that the answer clarified something surprising.

"You can still read my mind?!"

Morpheus simply smiled and was silent, meaning he neither confirmed nor denied it. But from his attitude Novan knew that Morpheus knew what Novan's mind was like so he could guess what Novan's choice was.

Novan again realized something was strange and then he looked at Morpheus with a curious face "how did you get out?" The question left Morpheus silent for a moment before replying.

"You really don't remember... Well it's better anyway" he said touching his chin and thinking for a moment, making Novan again confused. "Don't forget it, the point is I'm here because of you" Morfeus smiled and his eyes seemed to emit a purple light, Novan only realized that Morpheus' eye color was so beautiful purple. As he looked towards Fobetor, the young man's eyes also seemed to turn orange, something had changed and Novan had no idea how the change had happened.

"What do you mean you're here because of me? I don't get it"

Morpheus smiled and stretched out one hand "because I am from you" his body began to turn into dozens of black butterflies which then surrounded the room, making Fobetor, who was, Mammon and Leviathan immediately closed the door as if they were frightened at the sight of the butterfly.

Novan looked at the black butterfly with a look of amazement, his hand outstretched and a butterfly then alighted in his hand before the other butterflies gathered and reshaped Morpheus' body. Although strange but the same Novan can feel what Morpheus feels, as if now the two are connected together just as he and Fobetor are bound together by a soul contract.

Whatever it was Novan felt no worry, he then sighed and chose not to recall what happened before, as if there was a reason that he did not know but stuck to his head, a reason that says that he should not be in doubt because of the past or something that he does not remember.

Time passes day by day and changes continue to occur and now the memory of Arin has completely disappeared from the memory of everyone except Mammon and Leviathan. The two demons knew something had happened but as long as they saw Novan seemed indifferent then they didn't care either. Like the chicks that follow their mother Leviathan, Mammon and Fobetor carry out every mission Novan says. Even they seem to be happy with it because Novan allows them to do anything to achieve their respective mission goals.

Now that Novan was sitting at his desk, his hair had turned dark blue and his eyes had turned golden, he was disguising himself back to Askara. "Mammon and Kinan really did it huh..." He stared at the chessboard next to his desk.

"Right, I have also obtained a report from Mr. Abdi. He said the development of the underwater city and the tactics of getting closer to the mermaids went well. Mr. Mammon also reported that he found several illegal auction sites, at this time asking for your approval" Morpheus appeared to be wearing a neat and polite butler outfit. In his glove-clad hand were several pieces of documents. His handsome face was now adorned by glasses while his bangs style also changed.

"Tell Mammon not to waste money on useless things. Destroy all those auctions - ah no. Grab it and grab everything the place has. Slaves, treasures, gold, even precious items. Tell him he has to get everything without spending a penny" Morfeus smiled and with a strange look he asked.

"You just want him to save the slaves, don't you?" Morpheus knew what was behind Novan's words well. Taking over everything rather than destroying it is a bad-sounding way but thinking about what their advantage is when getting the place and operating it well will benefit them more in the long run.

"Let's know. Think all you want. How's Leviathan doing?".

"She managed to approach the mermaids well, because Amphitrit was the Goddess of the sea the mermaids liked her".

"That's it..." A smile formed on Novan's face and he asked again "do you think the sea is more suitable for a king or queen?" Novan's question made Morpheus think for a moment.

"Why not both?"

"Jawab is just one"

"The queen is the symbol of the moon and the king is the symbol of the sun. A queen is a symbol of peace and stability while a king is power and leadership. Whether it was land or sea, there was no place that had no leader" Novan seemed to smile with satisfaction at hearing that.

"Then I have decided, I will make a king in the sea" Novan took the king's black chess pieces and said.

"King of the seas?" Morpheus seemed to smile with an interested look "what exactly are your plans? you know it's the same as making a challenge to the sea god?"

Novan's smile widened and he dropped the chess piece into his wine glass. "yes and that's my goal, I will make a king who will rule the North Sea, the leader of the monsters and the outcast mermaids are also new enemies to the god Phoseidon..."

"I will make Leviathan king of the seas"
