species form in the process.”

  He continued to eye Trevor who looked at him and spoke “Your Majesty would you mind exchanging clothes back to the ones you were previously wearing? I need to see again how they look on you and figure out if they match the size you should wear for the title.”

  He heard Jiang chime in agreement which he obeyed going into the bedroom and with a great deal of effort yanked off the clothes and shoes off of him leaving his underwear shorts and gloves on. He yanked out the water ship clothes from the dresser then placed on his socks and sweats then held his sneakers in his hand and left the bedroom. Eric stood and stared at Trevor who appeared to scrutinize him.

  He gave Jiang a glare that scanned his mind and he mentally spoke “I hope you have something better for me to wear for my feet. Those shoes I wore with the titled clothes were not up to my standards when it comes to footwear.”

  Eric heard Jiang speak as the Highlander looked away “His Majesty requests better shoes for his feet. He says that the shoes he wore with the clothes weren’t up to his standards when it comes to footwear.”

  He shifted to stare at Trevor who spoke “That’s fine with me due to that the shoes weren’t waterproof anyway. I’ll see about getting word to Creve to fix something for his feet. Anyway I need you in Medical Bay for testing you on you losing your voice ability. Just need to make sure that the breathing device is only affecting your voice and no where else despite doing its purposed job.”

  He glared at Jiang in response that looked at him and he again felt the mind scanned “You forgot to tell me how my water ship clothes look on my form so spill it now.”

  He dropped his sneakers as Jiang verbalized his words saying the words His Majesty says before echoing him.

  Eric looked at Trevor who stared at him looking him up and down before speaking loudly “Appears the clothes are the right size for you to wear due to that I don’t see any of your body’s details flaunted very well. I request that you exchange them back to the Sun Lord clothes so I can get them to my brother along with the shoes you wore with them so he’ll get your feet size to make the proper footwear. I warn you it’ll take time for that to happen due to that Creve has to do this secretly and use discreet ways of getting them made and into your hands.”

  Eric exhaled a breath through his mouth as he heard from Jiang verbalizing “Argh I just remembered that the titled clothes we have are all the same size. I believe we’ll have to make up an excuse to the public on why the Sun Lord isn’t showing himself as expected by the people. Hmm this won’t go well with the Shadonia due to that they can detect lies and will point it out and get people quite annoyed enough to demand for the Sun Lord’s presence.”

  He threw up his hands as Trevor spoke “Just don’t give an excuse anyway. Just say to the public when they demand for him that the Sun Lord himself decides on when to show himself to them period.”

  He heard a fine comment from Jiang along with “Oh dear what about the gloves His Majesty is wearing due to protecting people from getting accidentally scratched from his poison he gives off?”

  He frowned as Trevor he eyed gave up a groaning noise while looking down at the floor before resuming looking up at him while speaking “Eric I’m afraid you’ll have to go gloveless for awhile so my brother can make gloves for you. I warn you they maybe made attached to the jacket’s sleeves while having to take off the sleeves and part of the jacket to get your hands bare.”

  He shifted to stare at Jiang and felt his mind scanned which he spoke hearing the Highlander verbalizing the words “Fine I accept this but I want my gloves back once your brother is done with them. I prefer to wear them when I’m not wearing the Sun Lord clothes and I won’t accept any replacements period.”

  He looked at Trevor and gave the doctor a glare who spoke “Anyway I get it what you mean so exchange your clothes now so I can get a courier to get them to my brother. The soonest he has them the quicker he can make the clothes and shoes and less time we can make the public wait for an appearance. I warn you that it’s well known among the public who came up with that idea that when the Sun Lord balks a requested appearance it means that he’s furious with something and this balking has happened before but usually lasting a traditional three suns before showing himself. Also any longer than that and the public will assume he’s sick with a medical ailment which this thought has happened before which will be going around the city the next sun due to that the three suns has already passed.”

  Eric without a comment went into the bedroom shutting the door which he stripped himself of his clothes leaving his underwear shorts on his form and then grabbed the Sun Lord clothes putting them on along with the flimsy boots. He folded his water ship clothes and placed the gloves with regret on top of them and carried them out of the room one handed while manipulating the door to the bedroom.

  He frowned as Jiang seeing him spoke “Hand them to him.”

  He saw Jiang point a finger at a male Highlander wearing all brown clothing that reminded him of a courier who had an object in his hand that made him recall it was a backpack which he obeyed and found the Highlander putting them into the backpack along with zipping it shut.

  Eric recalling something shot out his hand onto the Highlander’s shoulder that stiffened from the touch which he looked at Jiang and mentally spoke “Does he have my shoes?”

  He heard from Jiang verbalizing “He has your shoes so let him go now.”

  He obeyed to watch the Highlander leave the room slinging the backpack onto his back to hear from Trevor sounding off his left “Ah there’s an issue of a medical exam required involving you losing your ability to talk which must be done now.”

  Eric exhaled a breath and pointed a finger at the door which he saw Jiang come into view and followed the Highlander out of the quarters sensing Trevor taking up the rear which the group entered the hallway and took the elevator to the Medical Bay’s floor. He once inside the Medical Bay sat on a bed feeling the clothes become tight from that and eyed Trevor who waved the scanner over his form before putting it away.

  Eric continued to eye Trevor who picked up a small pen like device with a thick tube jutting from it towards the equipment at the foot of the bed and spoke “Open your mouth and don’t resist while I stick this into you towards your throat.”

  He obeyed and frowned inwardly as Trevor stuck the device into his mouth and continued to push it down his throat till he heard a loud beep sound and felt the movements stopped while feeling a faint choking sensation.

  Eric heard from Trevor “Don’t pull this out until I say so and keep your form still so excuse me I have to go to the scanner monitor to see what the results say.”

  He kept his form still with hands clasped together and eyed Trevor out of the corners of his eyes as the doctor went to the foot of the bed and felt a vibration from within his throat that made him confused. He continued to feel the vibration kept himself still as Trevor he eyed appeared to be pressing buttons on the equipment along with giving out hmm sounds. He felt the vibration stop as Trevor walked into his sight in full view and gently took out the device from within him which he felt relieved to have it out of him.

  Jiang spoke “The test results doctor?”

  He eyed Trevor who took the device and hooked it back to the equipment before speaking while looking at him “The test results prove what I thought involving the breathing device you’re wearing. It has affected only your voice ability organ making you unable to verbalize your words but from tests it has indicated on stopping the medical ailment you have seemed to hate having.”

  Eric exhaled a breath through his mouth then inhaled through the breathing device feeling himself relieved from hearing Trevor’s words due to recalling himself not having a rage episode since he first started wearing the breathing device.

  He looked at Jiang who looked at him and he mentally spoke while feeling the familiar head pain “Fine I accept that I can no longer talk my words and have accepted that price t
ag. Its no concern to me anyway due to that I suffered too much without an end to that medical ailment and nothing before the breathing device seemed to help stop it permanently.”

  He heard Jiang repeat his words again using the word His Majesty says followed by looking away towards Trevor who was looking at Jiang and him back as the Highlander spoke his words.

  He eyed Trevor who spoke while looking at him “Alright I figured out on what you’re talking about due to some passed down story coming from Ionela mentioning her life with you and others talking to her about their life with you as well.”

  He kept his eyes on Trevor as the doctor added “Nothing much can be done here so you can go Your Majesty but warn you I will without a moment’s notice will be testing you and it doesn’t matter if it involves Medical Bay or not.”

  He didn’t without a look at Jiang got up from the bed and walked out of the Medical Bay to pause in the hallway leaning a hand on the wall while bending down mouth breathing abruptly and felt a hand on his shoulder which he looked to see Jiang there and Trevor nearby frowning as he mouthed breathed. He felt his knees weak abruptly fell into kneeling position while spotting Trevor waving his familiar arm sized scanner and stiffened as his eyes clouded up with whiteness along with feeling the angry
