Ch. 4Chapter Two: Hours Before The Official Announcement


Alas, here we are again. This is still Alejandro Del Rey, ready to give you the tea to the story, so read on and enjoy the rollercoaster ride!

As the dawn hit, John was getting ready. He went to sleep very early last night, well so he could prepare himself early today. He started his day off by fixing his bed. After that, he got out of his room and started cooking breakfast.

While he was heating up his bread in the microwave, he whipped up some eggs and partnered them with tuna so each slice of bread that everyone in his family would have two delicious, yet healthy breakfast. He also sliced some fruit to go along with his meal plan, as the king encouraged him to be on a diet and go to the gym regularly. So he followed his directives and did such a great job at it.

Look at him now. With his beautiful hazel-brown eyes, tan skin, buff arm muscles and six-packed abs with a hint of Filipino ethnicity. He is now hired as the king's humble yet official spokesperson. He did not expect this at first because he knew that there is such a thing as racial discrimination.

But, he grabbed this either way because he was told by King Aldric himself that he was fit for the position and that he had a huge salary. His family's lives were at stake, so without hesitation, he said, "King Aldric Rosales of Aldoria. I'm. John Delgado at your service."

The king got excited about working with him after that time and so, specifically for four years now, he has been serving this palace, and he is doing such a marvelous job at it. His sliver of humble pie is still there despite all this. His enthusiastic nature also won the hearts of the king's beloved parents before they both died three years ago. That was the reason why he became king at such a young age of twenty-five years.

Now, let's go back to what he is currently doing. He is preparing his clothes to wear for this very special occasion. So he searched his entire cabinet for the perfect suit and tie. He decided to wear a dark blue suit, teal blue tie, long light blue sleeves inside the suit, a sleeveless shirt to wear underneath all that formal attire, so he would not sweat a lot.

He also wore dark blue pants to go with the theme and blue leather shoes, plus white socks, and a gold wristwatch to top it all off. And so, he had fixed himself in a cool-toned outfit of the day. This would really make him look handsome too, despite him being the only Filipino to be in their place.

He was also a product of the king's search. He was found using the high speed internet in the king's palace, and he was then messaged by the king as he was interested in hiring him as soon as possible. So he had to tell his family that they would migrate to the land of Aldoria. And so now, here they all are. Living in a kingdom and serving this young king for all his life.

The day has come for him to not be searched on the internet, ever again, but for him to search for a gorgeous leading lady for King Aldric's journey to love. This is actually his first time, so I guess this is worth it for him. He is now still quite nervous but excited at the same time.
And so, John finished setting up his clothes.

Thus, it's time to go ahead and take his much-needed bath to replenish and refresh his body after all that work. He first chilled in his bath tub for quite some time and decided to use the shower afterward to clean all the bath bombs off his body. He just wanted to smell good throughout the entire announcement day, so he did such a thing.

After that bath, he ironed the long sleeves first and then the suit and the pants; all in a hurry, and then he then took the clothes by piece and started wearing them, one at a time. He was careful, so his long sleeves would not look folded, and his tie would look like it was at its best, even if it had been in his wardrobe for a few years already.

"This seems like a brand-new outfit, dearest John." Says his mother, glancing at his son's outfit looking prouder than ever. "Son, I'm sorry if I have not said this before, but, I am really proud of what you have finally become while under him." She cried some happy tears.

"At first, I did not believe in you because I thought you were just joking when you said you had to move here into the land of Aldoria as the king has given you an assignment. You were not actually kidding and so here we are. Fast-forward, after four years, you have grown into a wise young man at the age of twenty. You look handsome, my man. Please keep this up! You deserve all these blessings for your hard work in serving King Aldric Rosales himself."

She then hugged him whilst still crying, not of fear or pain but out of happiness. And then, after all that emotional talk, the real assignment begins.

The announcement must be made at exactly eight in the morning. So he has got to go because it is currently exactly seven twenty-eight in the morning.

So, what do you all think is going to happen next, here in the land of Aldoria? Is the king ready to change his life?

All that and more would be available to you on the next couple of chapters. Once again, this is Alejandro Del Rey. Thank you for continuing to read and stay safe, stay hydrated, stay blessed, and then live life to the fullest! Bye now!
