I'm the King's Son?
CHAPTER 1

Liliana POVs

I opened my eyes slowly because the blinding light was bothering me. But it still felt heavy when I tried to open it. I could hear someone talking near me.

'When will he wake up?.'

'He will soon wake up..'

'Aishh.. But I still have the task of taking the spirits of a few more people..'

'Basic is impatient.'

'Hey, who did you say was impatient?.. I've been waiting for him for 30 minutes if you know, but he still doesn't wake up either.'

The voice of debate I heard added to my efforts to open my eyes quickly. I wonder who is fighting like that little boy.

But after I tried to open my eyes I still could not see clearly. My sight is still blurred. I rubbed my eyes with my hands. And finally my vision was clear. I saw two people who looked familiar.

And after I remembered them I glared in disbelief. I look at everything that is here. A fairly wide expanse of grass with many colorful blooming flowers. This place is like a garden I thought.

"Where is this?" my question just slid out of my mouth.

They both turned their eyes to me who was up and sitting down.

"Ah You're finally awake too.." The God of Death is closing in on me.

I just looked at him confused. He stood in front of me while folding his hands in the chest.

"Come with me now.. You're wasting too much time." Continue in seriousness.

I just keep looking at him who's back to walking somewhere. My mind is still filled with confusion about this place. I'm so foreign to where I woke up. My feeling is that I've never been here before.

The God of Reincarnation approached me and saw me in a state of confusion.

"This place is the garden of a kingdom that you will occupy later."

When my confusion still lingered, the God even made me more confused by all this. The words that came out of his mouth added to the list of question marks in my mind.

"Don't think too much.. I will explain everything to you later." said the God of Reincarnation with a faint smile.

"Now let's go first.." Bring it to me then.

The two of us walked together behind the Death God who was already far ahead. I walked around with my eyes in all directions. It was a beautiful place but it felt so strange, I thought.

We stopped in front of an ancient building. Lots of carvings in the building that make it look unique and interesting to look at.

"Let's go in.."so the God of Death told me and the god of reincarnation.

I just follow his invitation. I was still confused and curious about what the two of them were going to do. Even though I didn't know them before but my feeling is that they're not bad people.

After we entered the building, I saw a man in ancient clothing lying on his bed. The long straight black hair, the ancient clothes he wore made me more confused about what place I was treading now.

Seeing myself back in confusion the two gods finally opened his mouth to explain what happened.

"Did you see the man lying down?. He was the son of the emperor in this land. And the punishment I'm going to give you is that you have to take his place here." - Seriously looking at me.

"This is your punishment so accept that later you can return to your world and live better" he said wisely.

"Why is he? doesn't he look okay. Why should I replace him?. And what about my world after I wasn't there and I'm here now?" I asked to speak my heart and mind.

"I will take him away to be punished for what he did. And will come back here if he's done with his punishment." God of Death quick reply.

"You mean I can go back to my world after this guy comes back here?. And how long is that?" with mixed feelings I still ask.

"Yes you're right. I don't know when he will finish his sentence. About your life in the world there is already well arranged you do not need to worry." replied the God of Reincarnation.

I still looked at the two of them with an expression of disbelief. My heart says to reject all this. But their words about me being able to go back to my world and live a better life were my consideration for accepting all of this.

"You have no choice but to accept this punishment. You can't negotiate with a god anyway." The God of Death blurted cynically.

"Is it true that I can return after completing this sentence?." My great-grandson quietly resignedly.

"of course. We never break promises." The Reincarnation God with a smile.

I exhaled slowly before saying my consent. It's very heavy for me. Living in a foreign place in ancient times made me feel sad. I could only feel happiness but it was just a dream that was now gone. With a heavy heart I say..

"Well, I'll accept the punishment you've given."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled mysteriously then nodded together. I don't know what they're hiding from me. I can only obey everything they say. There is no point in me denying it. They could have eliminated me right now, if I still clean up violently resisting this punishment. Remember they are gods. Despite its childish nature to me.

"Give me your hand.." The command of the God of Reincarnation to me.

I extended my right hand slowly. I don't know what he's gonna do with my hands. The Reincarnation God emitted a light from his hand. And put that bluish light under my hand. It turned out that he gave me a star-shaped symbol.

The symbol shines with red. I who knew nothing looked at the god for an explanation. Slowly the light from the symbol disappeared and my palm became as it was. Without any symbol.

There is something strange about my body. It feels really incredible pain. It hurt so much I sat on the cold floor. I still stared at the two gods for an explanation.

I even grimaced because I tried to hold him back. My body feels like it's being crushed. I also thought that the two gods wanted to kill me.

"Hold on a minute this won't take long. I'm just turning your body into that lying person."Clearly a God of Reincarnation while crouching in front of me.

"I'll give you something." the God of Death. He crouched down in front of me holding a book.

"This book will help you if you're in trouble. Put a little blood in this book. Then whatever you want to know, this book will give you an answer." Obviously, giving the book to me.

"Remember this book only you can use it. And without a drop of blood from you he can't answer your question." Further.

I can only nod saying his words. The pain in my body is becoming more and more. My gaze had even become faint. And I'm lying on the floor. The cold floor I can still feel for a moment. Over time my consciousness was taken away by the pain all over your body. Who knows when it will disappear.

But before my consciousness was gone I could hear the two gods say something.

'Wise your punishment, he will change your life for the better and more colorful.'

'Color is not all punishment a misery. But also a valuable experience.'

I finally lost my consciousness. The cold floor now I can't feel anymore. I don't know what will happen to me. I just resigned while hoping for a miracle to come a miracle that can eliminate this pain.
