Ch. 3Chapter One: The Preparation for the Hunt


Once upon a winter solstice time in a land farthest away possible, there lived a king, in the name of Aldric Rosales. He is a tall, slim and handsome man with six-packed abdominals and beautiful ocean eyes with a bedazzling and blinding white skin. I mean, that's because his skin produces natural oils easily so it maintains its shininess and it can blind some people HAHAHAHA. Just kidding.

But in all seriousness though, he is very handsome and has all the good looks every woman can ever dream of. It's like he can easily captivate their hearts that even those married women would still look at him in awe and get jaw-dropped expressions everytime he passes by them.

He circles the town everyday. So he gets to monitor who is still alive and who has been ill as well as, who is already dead. He is also kind, mature, playful, smart and he never fails to help those in need if ever he passes them having a hard time either carrying something from pails filled with water to carry to the farmlands and to those people who carry hallow blocks.

It just looks too easy for him since he has gotten these arm muscles to be firm and buff so he really, can carry anything and everything you can ever think of. He also has different talents like singing, dancing, a little bit of acting, digital painting and physical artistry; and hobbies like drawing, playing musical instruments, solving different puzzles and playing chess.

He has really what it takes to be a king. But sometimes (or even most of the time) he is emotional, he is impatient, and yet he does not show this to the public. Only when he sleeps in his room does he cry, alone in the dark. Basically, he is just lonely and helpless.

He is already at his late twenties and so he, one day, decides on embarking onto a journey to find somebody to love. And so he told his spokesperson and his secretary, "Go, find a woman who can help me become the husband that I wanted to be and who can make me the happiest man alive. It would be a bunch of plus points if she is respectful, kind, helpful, who can cook, share meals with me, shows me affection, love and care, has a wisdom and the poise of a queen. Can you please help me out with this John? You can start your search tomorrow."

And so the spokesperson a.k.a. the secretary in the name of John Delgado, is now on his way to write a speech for everyone to know. He should encourage everyone and make it lively when he makes his speech.

"Hmmmm... What can I do to make this speech a whole lot better?" He asked himself, looking in front of his mirror as he immediately went home after his encounter with the king in his palace. "I could really just say. Ehem, Ehem. GOOD MORNING LADIES, GENTLEMEN and THOSE IN BETWEEN WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE Lesbians, the gays, the bisexuals, the transgenders, the queers, the asexuals, or the LGBTQIA+ and the entire ally of this community. Today, I am here to present to you an announcement from the King Aldric Rosales himself." He paused for a bit and continued on.

"He has been good on his own for quite some time. He has done many things that make him king at a very young age. But, he has informed me, that today marks the day that he'd like to make a change... He'd like to look for someone whom he could love and be with for the rest of his life!" He paused again and continued the speech.

"He told me to be in search of a woman who can help him become the husband that he wanted to be and who can make him the happiest man alive. It would be a bunch of plus points if she can be respectful, kind, helpful, who can cook, share meals with him, shows him a lot of affection, love and care, has a wisdom and the poise of a queen." He gulped, "This would not be easy but I believe this would be possible for him to find someone."

He kept repeating this and adding new words to the said draft for the speech he is going to make tomorrow. He is a little bit nervous because, although he has delivered so many speeches for the kings and queens before King Aldric but this is different. It hits different because he can see him being emotionally and physically drained from searching for women by himself. So in the end, the king just asks his help to make this possible.

And at the end of his practice, he added, "Thank you very much for gathering here in front of me, the king, and your brothers and sisters. The king's announcement is finally over. We will be holding this search in a small tent outside the palace." And then he took a bow in front of the mirror and laughed afterward saying, "Oh gosh, this is so not me. This seems to be so awkward. HAHAHAH Am I really ready for this?" He questioned himself again, "I guess I am." Then he answered his own question.

So what do you all think? Will he get what the king wants for him to do? Would the woman show up sooner or later? Will the king, soon meet the woman of his dreams? Will he fail or succeed in finding her? Will there be no obstacles within his tracks as he finds the love of his life? All of this will be revealed in due time. But for now, this is Alejandro Del Rey, your MyBard series writer.
