ROYALTY: The Lord of the Glorious Water Element
CHAPTER ELEVEN: ROYALTY

"Don't lie. When I first met you, I saw a different figure than you" Henry said, stressing every word.

"What do you mean!?" Roni was surprised.

Henry slowly approached Roni. His gaze was straight at Roni's eyes which were faintly blue in color. At first glance, Roni's eyes are dark brown like most people, but the teenager's eyes actually hold something that ordinary people cannot see. Only people who have magic abilities can see other figures in Roni's body.

"Have you not noticed anything in you all this time?" ask Henry. The tone was slow but full of pressure.

There seems to be no gap for Roni to lie, Henry seemed to know the privilege in him. Forced Roni to tell the truth, "Yes I'm aware of my abilities. But somehow upon waking up, I suddenly had magic abilities. I don't know the origin of magic."

Henry stared intently, then raised his right hand, pointing at Roni's face with his index finger. "You!" Paused his words for a while then continued, "You're not yourself. There's a teenage boy in your body." Then Henry lowered his hand and turned his back.

Henry's words made Roni even more confused. What does the young man mean? A teenage boy in her body? He means how, Roni really does not understand.

"I'm getting confused because of what you said" Roni said in a soft voice.

"I look at you like two people, I don't know who you really are. But clearly you have an escort. Your magic ability is not purely from yourself, but from the juvenile figure that accompanies you at this time. He's the one protecting you, too" Henry explained as he continued to observe Roni. Then Henry said again, "The figure in your body has no name, you can name it Royalty, as your name implies."

Henry's words that sounded serious made Roni goosebumps. The teenage boy was unexpected and shocked, it turned out that in his body there was another figure who had been accompanying him and protecting him. It is only fitting that when Roni was carried away by a very heavy river current, he remained safe and his life did not drift.

Roni was both scared and curious. So he asked Henry, "How do you mean that the characteristics of the escort are in my body?"

Henry turned his gaze in the other direction, staring at the flowing river water quietly. He said, "He has light blue hair, his eyes are blue, his skin is white, and he is very handsome. Don't forget, he always wears a light blue robe. Light blue is her favorite."

Instantly Roni was stunned. Still can't believe the fact that he has another figure in his body. Even the characteristics are also almost the same as Henry, the difference is that Henry's hair is dark blue.

"How did you know I had an escort?" ask Roni.

"Only certain people can see the Royalty in your body. Ordinary people cannot see it. The particular person I was referring to was the one with magic abilities, especially the royal family. In the eyes of ordinary people, you look like a teenager in general, but in the eyes of the royal members, you look very handsome and light blue is your trademark." Henry explained, his gaze still pointed towards the river.

Hearing Henry's words, Roni was immediately surprised. That means Henry is not a random person because he can see other figures in his body.

"That means you?" Rony asked.

Henry understood the meaning of Roni's question, he immediately replied, "Yes, I am not from among the common people. I'm the prince of the Andoran Kingdom."

"Well! I did not expect to meet the prince of the Kingdom of Andora," said Roni with admiration.

"Just forget about my status, just consider me your friend. Now, I want to take you to Andora Kingdom and I will help you train your magic power." Henry slowly twisted his body, facing towards Roni. Now he and Roni look at each other. "Do you know why I want to train you?"

Roni nodded in displeasure. Then Henry said, "Because the Royalty can control your mind if you're angry or when you're distracted. For that, in order for you to fully control that figure, you need to practice her magic skills. Royalty gave you magic powers. So you must be able to control his power as well as possible, lest his magic power harm others without you knowing it. How, are you willing to come with me to the Andora Kingdom? I'll train you there."

Roni paused for a moment and weighed in on Henry's invitation. When Roni was convinced, he replied, "Well, I'm willing to go with you. But why did you name the figure inside me using my name, Royalty?"

"Alright, then I have no problem," replied Roni who tried to remain relaxed despite actually feeling scared.

"good. Let's follow me." Then Henry walked up to his horse that was eating grass by the river. Roni followed Henry's footsteps behind.

"Jack, let's go home! It's getting late, " Henry said. Jack said the horse stopped eating and stood up straight, and slightly neighed. Henry climbed onto the back of his horse, then told Roni to get on. "Quick get behind me!" his orders.

Roni climbed onto the horseback aided by Henry. After Roni placed himself comfortably, Henry pulled the reins of his horse. Jack walked up to the top of a very sloping river cliff. The horse did not need to run to reach the top of the cliff. After reaching the cliff, Henry instigates Jack to run.

"Jack hurry, run!" The orders from Henry make Jack run quickly leaving the river area.

Roni was amazed when Henry's horse passed the main road leading to the Andoran Kingdom. The road was like from a stone arranged very neatly with a smooth surface. Then on the right and left side of the road there are cypress trees that are neatly lined and towering, some of which are small evergreen trees. Round-shaped street lights also appear to decorate in some places, as lighting at night. Roni was really amazed. He did not expect that he would soon set foot in the territory of the Andoran Kingdom.

Just as Jack was about to reach the magnificent royal gate, four soldiers were on standby when they saw Roni sitting behind Prince Henry. In the eyes of the four warriors, Roni's body seemed to glow light blue, and looked like a spirit, then his face was also very handsome. It seemed like the Royalty residing in Roni's body wanted to show her whereabouts to the soldiers guarding the gate.

Then the four soldiers stopped Prince Henry in front of the royal gate in a polite manner. Jack, the horse raised both of his front legs while neighing, making Roni almost toppled back if he did not hold Henry's shoulders.

"Please forgive Prince Henry. I saw a spirit figure behind the Prince" said one of the soldiers carrying a sword and an iron shield. The other three soldiers were carrying swords.

Henry laughed a little because he already knew who the soldier meant. "You guys take it easy, he has no evil intentions, I did deliberately bring him to the kingdom."

"Alright, Prince. Sorry to interrupt the time." The soldier bowed respectfully to Henry, followed by the other three soldiers. Afterwards they invited Henry to enter the vast royal courtyard, not counting how many kilos of meters. Even Roni was amazed to see his surroundings so wide. There were many shady trees growing on the edge of the cobblestone path, so the air around it felt so cool, but it also covered the sunlight that broke through the cracks of the leaves.

"Originally you know, this is not the main page of the kingdom" Henry said as he became aware of Roni's behavior. Henry then instigates Jack to walk around.

"What!?" Roni surprised. His mouth is a little bit open.

"Yes, the main courtyard of the kingdom is still less than tens of kilos of meters away."

Once again, Roni was speechless.

"The gates and high walls we passed were for added security, and to restrict government territory, not city territory."

This is the form of a teenager in Roni's body. No name, finally named Royalty the same Henry. Royalty's name is Roni.
