Living in a Shield World
Seeking Protection

SEEK REFUGE

"Jack, it's been almost two weeks, news of the conflict in the Kingdom, no news from Hannah!", Liyana panicked

"Hannah great Li.., I'm sure she can definitely get through this one"

"Ow, Auw,....,PRAAANG!!! Haaaah is wrong again!, I am unfocused, the potion failed again!!, Liyana is always destructive, crashing and even breaking things when not focusing

Tok tok, my door is knocked on by someone, nine o'clock at night, not usually

"Millabra!!!"

"Jack, how are you? Sorry to interrupt the night like this"

I was still standing in front of the door

"Millard! , come in!", Liyana's greeting to Millard resuscitated my shock

"Mrs Jack, how are you?"

"Come on Millard!"

"That, I. together." he spoke unsettledly, not like the Millard I knew.

""You're with My King?", I guess

"Yes", Millard turned his back and walked towards the big tree in my yard. He pushed My King in a wheelchair. Dim, in my yard there was not much light at night, not clearly visible My King condition that Millard hid

The wheelchair was pushed slowly by Millard, who was slightly younger than My King. My wife and My King have a distant blood relationship. Especially now that Hannah has given me 2 grandchildren, after the mess of her life with Andy, My King's son. This man who was once my king deserves to be called a family

The two of them slowly entered my house. Millard looked very tired.

My King's skin wrinkled very deeply

"Millard, I warm up dinner, wait a minute", Liyana never had the heart to see an old man so exhausted

"Thank you Mrs Jack", Millard accepted our banquet

My King was silent, his stroke looked even more severe. When I met at Rossy Hospital, the stroke wasn't this severe.

"My King, it seems like it's been three days' worth of strokes" explained Millard, who caught my eye, continuing to be fixed on My King. He was very different from My King when he was my boss

He used to be very handsome. Always aloof, do not like many people, and always secretly help or secretly....I was always working on her orders, until I met Liyana

"Oooh yeah, I can see it", I agree with Millard's words

"Did My King talk?", curious

"No" Millard began to reply with a relaxed body, while drinking a warm sweet potion made by my wife

"My King communicates by telepathy"

"But I didn't hear anything?!"

"They haven't been heard in the last three days"

"Ooooh"

"I don't know where else to go, exactly don't know which friend is willing to help us" Millard lowered his voice

"We'll be willing to help, calm down"

"The white mushroom recipe, to treat My King poisoning, was discovered by Liyana, I mean Mrs Jack, so I thought, because during the trip no white fungus entered his body"

"All right, I understand"

"This potion is ready, can you drink it? It's a straw, a slow suck

Liyana with a smile gave medicine to My King

"Wow, you're hungry, so quickly run out of juice"

A moment later My King looked like he was snoring

"I gave him sleeping pills, he looked stressed. Dear John can you bathe her, lots of clean clothes you can wear"

Millard immediately stood up, "Right lady, we really need a shower, thank you"

Millard and I took off My King's shirt, his pants were wet with dirt, he smelled so bad. After taking off all his clothes, we lifted My King into the bathroom. I sprayed the bottom of his body that was very dirty, Miilard held My King's standing position so as not to fall.

It's clean enough, pity to see Millard tired of holding My King's body. I decided to put it in a bath up. His body is not so dirty. In silence, the two of us rubbed My King's already extremely soft and loose body.

Millard spoke while rubbing My King's body. Falling asleep, will not wake up even if there is a noise that is very close

My King once said to me, "Jack doesn't like my leadership, but he just backs off, not turns against me"

"You know Millard, I just want to keep a good relationship. I know everything My King does for the unity of this country".

My decision to leave the palace, because what I did was not in accordance with my conscience

"So from that, I chose to come here, even though I know you must have heard My King's orders against Hannah. But I know you won't ignore us"

"Calm down, old man! My wife is Liyana, even someone who has hurt her, she will still treat"

"You changed once Jack, Liyana really changed you"

"She opened me up a lot of life choices, and I chose to be like this"

"Romantic", Millard responded with that simple word alone

Millard was loyal not because of his judgment of My King, but because there was too much royal service to him

Some of the black tribes who worked in the kingdom, were his extended family. But not my family. The Milard family came from a different ancestor to me

"Here, My King is very clean and ready to sleep"

We put him to bed in the living room. There are only two rooms in this house. Hannah's room and mine. Hannah's room is oversized, too heavy and the danger of bringing My King up

"This sofa is long enough Millard, enough for a comfortable sleep", Liyana said softly and gently

"Miss Jack, this is already very convenient"

"You can sleep on the other sofa. It's Millard Jack's clean shirt, now it's your turn to take a shower", Liyana's even got my clothes ready for Millard

"Thank you", Millard nodded his head

"Liyana, we only have this for their dinner?"

"Yes, Jack is just scrambled eggs and dried vegetable soup. You've finished the roast deer before", Liyana grumbled

"I'm sorry, don't be mad, you're the best" I peed his forehead. Though not fed, I'm sure Millard is very grateful

Millard came out of the bathroom in my dress

"The book's comfortable, I haven't worn a shirt like this in a long time"

"Come Millard, let's eat" Liyana's soft pinta

Millard stepped forward towards the dining table, he looked at Liyana's scrambled eggs

His eyes glazed over, "I thought I would die, taking care of His Majesty on the way. But I remember you Jack, maybe God still loves me"

I hit him on the shoulder, to calm him down.

""Please, do you want to eat alone, or do we want to be with you?", Liyana asked Jack

"We're already very full" I added

"Just keep me company, haven't had a casual conversation like this in a long time" Millard asked

"I left in a dress I hadn't changed after a long day of work, My King left in his pajamas and his favorite brown jacket and hat" Millard told the story

"I didn't expect the usual conflicts in the council to be this big" Millard said, looking away

"I can only bring a bag of access and a small pack of dried white mushrooms. I thought I could buy white mushrooms on the street, it was hard", she laughed sadly

"We both came out of the palace in a hurry because outside the palace was chaotic, and inside the palace was deserted no one. Everything seems to have gone from the Kingdom's palace, no one noticed two old men like us. The palace is not broken, but deserted"

"You know Jack, even though I'm not as strategist as you are, but my premonition of the palace silence freaked me out", he didn't eat much just telling stories

"I just want to go get My King, save him. A lot of people don't like him"

"Why don't you ask Andy for help?"

"Andy?, ha ha ha......I didn't even think about it until you said it"

"Hoo, why? They quarrel?", curious

"Two kings are still there, one feels experienced in continuing to direct. While others want updates, do not want to continue to be taught details", Millard again smiled smugly

"I don't want to remember Millard's time, I salute you're still staying in the palace"
