Taming the fury God

Chapter 5: Illusion Spell

August stared at his assistant that started to fidget even more after his question and shook his head.

What exactly has this guy done behind his boss's back?

Well, that's none of his business, he just wants to get some information and find away to execute his plan.

August saw the man was about to have a heart attack with the way he was trembling seriously and before he knows, the guy went down on his knees and started to beg.

August blinked confusedly as the guy in front of him was vomiting some words that he doesn't understand.

"Hey, what I meant is what is your name? There's no need to panic at all" He patted his shoulders. The assistant body stiffened at this gesture. He quickly wiped the sweat on his forehead while staring at August like he was looking at a ghost.

"Cough, ha.... I don't mean to be rude. I just have a little problem with my head and some things have escape my brain. I just need you to remind me"

"Oh" The assistant nodded before introducing himself. "I'm Canon, your personal assistant"

"Canon? I love your name" August commended.

"So tell me in details about me"

"Sir, you can actually derive this information from your device" Canon said.

"What device? Is it like a smartphone?" August asked excitedly.

"It's a computer and you can do so many things with it. You can access the internet with it and you can do many things with it" Canon explained.

"So where is mine?" August asked excitedly.

"In your room sir"

August stood up and sprinted out of the living room but as soon as he stumbled into the long and mysterious hallway, he was forced to stop in his track. He retraced his steps back to the living room before it was late.

The hallway showed different intersections immediately he left the sitting room reminding him of what he'd previously faced while walking alone. And even if he managed to get to his room, he couldn't stand the snakes that was still relaxing in there.

"Why are you still there? Are you not coming with me?" He asked Canon who was busy counting his fingers.

"I'm coming sir"

When they got to his room, August stylishly asked, "Why does it seem that one can easily get lost in those hallways?"

"You were the one who casted the illusion spell, preventing intruders from breaking into the castle without your knowledge since your live is always at risk. So anyone that isn't familiar with you can't get pass it without being trapped unless he is saved, he would remained stuck"

August just nodded his head as he made a mental note to not walk around the house alone.

People might think he was the one that casted the spell, but the reality was that he was different from the one that casted the spell and that could be justified by the fact that he was also trapped walking alone.

Just like Canon had said, August was beyond surprised to see him bring out a black something that looked like a watch. He watched him pressed something and his profile popped up in a screen that was suspended in the air.

Name: August King VII

Gender: Male

Status: Prince 

Ability: Fire, water, magic, nature.

(....)

"What is the name of this place?" August asked hoping to hear the name he was familiar with.

"This is Kingston Kingdom, the palace is in Silver city"

"Why am I here and not in the palace?"

"Because you insisted. The spell of illusion in this building was not actually casted by you alone. You had a help from the one who loves you so much and expects more from you"

"My father?"

"Yes my prince"

August rolled his eyes inwardly. What do you mean by the one that loves me so much when he left me here alone with his wife? Hmm, actually that's a good thing because they're off my back.

August didn't ask any other questions as he believed that it was of no use. Even the said special powers was gone with the previous soul that occupied his body so what is the excitement?

"I will go to the next room and shower and you're coming with me" August said dejectedly as he immediately fled the room and of course, Canon followed him.

While Canon waited in the room, August took his time to wash his body properly. He then opened the wardrobe in the room and finally found a suitable casual clothe.

He wore a white T-shirt and a white sweat pant, flaunting his sexy chest and biceps, he strutted out of the room.

Canon also tailed behind him but he couldn't help but marvel at his Boss's new look; he looked more handsome and beautiful than beastly. And with him on white and white, he looked like an angel that just descended from heaven.

Ever since he became August's assistant, and second in command since it was in their linage to always be the one taking care of the princes, this was the first time that he would see August dressed in any other color apart from black. August was known to be a feared man that loves to appear in black all through, like a fierce and unmerciful beast.

They walked out of the house just like August wanted and strolled round the building.

August wouldn't deny that he loved the whole place, especially the back yard that had a swimming pool and different flowers of different colors that was aligned perfect, giving the place a fairy looked. Of course there were different flowers too in the front yard of the building coupled with different fountains but the back yard was more beautiful and mesmerizing.

August sat on a chair closer to the swimming pool with a fountain by his side. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound from from the flowing waters which sent his mind into peace and tranquility. He thought of his life and wondered how he was going to survive here. With or without a prince title, things was definitely going to be difficult for him and it would be be a hard struggle that even end his life once again; this he was sure of. Since power reigns in this place and a prince without his ability is nothing.

"Hmm" August sighed a long sigh.

"My prince" Canon called as he felt the worries and uneasiness from his prince.

August didn't say anything but remained mute with his eyes closed as he dozed off with the sound of the waters that was still doing the magic to his jumbled feelings.

"My prince, please wake up" August was forced to open his tired eyes.

"What is it?" He slurred.

"It's time for dinner" August opened his eyes lazily to see that everywhere was now getting dark. He looked at Canon.

"What time is it?"

"7pm"

"Oh, I have been asleep for that long" August yawned remembering that he came to this place around 4pm. He actually enjoyed the sleep, it was more peaceful and sweet than sleeping in a room with snakes.

--------

The next day, August took his bath in the same room that was different from his own. That was were he slept too. But he still went over to his to take some clothes, and of course black.

After dressing up he was extremely excited as he finally left the scary building with Canon. He was really happy to receive a fresh and natural air; one that wasn't from Air condition. He raised his two hands and closed his eyes as the breeze blew his worries away temporarily.

They were on their way to his company. He didn't want to go at first, but Canon had forced him. And bedsides, he also felt like it's high time he left the daunting house and explore the world he got reincarnated into.

A car was already in front of the house with the back door opened for him. August looked at the driver with his brown hair and brown eyes and smiled at him. This warm gesture touched the heart of his driver, since this was the first time that their scary boss will smile at him, instead of screaming or punishing him.

August couldn't close his mouth as he looked at the most amazing car he'd ever seen in his life. The color was red and it was such a beautiful car that screamed wealth and luxury.

August stared at the car with a bit of jealousy.

Of course, the owner of his body was extremely Powerful and rich if only him can stay in such a mighty castle. It's a pity that such a man didn't last even with all this riches.

August got lost while he was admiring the car before him. He wanted to make sure that he engraved every part of it into his brain since he would soon leave everything behind.

It wasn't until Canon called him while sending him a weird look that August regained himself.

He swallowed his jealousy and entered into the eye catchy car instead.

August was surprised to see the car start levitating from the ground until it finally soared into the air.

"What the hell?" He almost shouted but managed to control himself when he remembered that it would definitely look strange if he should do that.

Although he managed to fool his so called assistant by lying about his forgetful brain, still he couldn't allow the driver to suspect anything, that could be bad for him.

The car flew through the cloud, August could see that it wasn't only their car that was floating on the air. There were lots of them. After what seemed like eternity, the car finally started to descend to the ground.

They stopped in front of a tall and mighty building which August thought was the building of his supposed company.

He remained transfixed to the ground as he stared at the gray building with glasses everywhere. No doubt, it must have cost so much money to build this, he thought.

"Sir" This way Canon informed August who seemed lost. He couldn't just understand why his boss was zoning out or was it because he couldn't remember anything?

Without saying anything, August followed behind his assistant as they made it into the building.

If the exterior of the building was awesome, the interior was marvelous and large with a luxurious furnishings. August couldn't help but gasped in shock as he stood one place and observed the interior of the building.

While he was admiring the wondrous building, the people around were busy throwing him a look with different unspeakable meaning behind them.

While some admired the fact that their boss took his time to spare them a glance, others longed to be in his arms. At the same time, some set were cowering in fear.

"Sir you're overwhelming everyone with your presence" Canon gently said beside his ear.

What's there to overwhelm them with? When your actual boss is long dead, August grumbled in his heart. He managed to pull himself together. He unconsciously threw his rare smile to the people around before following Canon as they strutted towards the elevator.

"I can't believe he smiled at me" One the of the receptionist screeched excitedly while the other threw her a strange look.

"Joan, can you stop dreaming because that obviously wasn't meant for you alone" The second one said.

"You're just bluffing, Mane because I'm sure he looked me right in the eyes. And I saw the feelings hidden behind it" Joan countered proudly.

"Well, that's your problem. Just keep your voice down because you're disturbing the peace of the company" Mane rolled her eyes.

"Humph! Like you don't wish to be in his arm too. If everyone is not here, you would've thrown yourself at him" Joan grumbled sarcastically.

"Of course anyone would love to be in his arms, I don't deny that. But that doesn't mean that I should throw away my dignity and rush into his hands uninvited" Mane said seriously causing Joan to gasp at her.

"So you will happily lunge into his arms if he invites you?" Joan asked.

"Definitely" Mane winked at Joan who cringed at her sly behavior.
