Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Prelude
It has been 1,000 years since the king had ruled the throne in his Kingdom, now in modern day life in a futuristic world in a new country not his own, which in his own right, had built a high financial empire through his experience of being king, using strategies he would use in and on the battlefield, he would now use in negotiations with other businesses and companies, even countries as a political power in high society. 1,000 years of experience brought with him into modern day society and in the world of politics as one of the world's most powerful men in his current time, which almost equal to being as "king" of modern day high society. 1,000 years has now passed, and he slowly began to feel his age like normal humans would. He would heal more slowly from wounds, feel heavy and huff for breath and sweat heavily when he would run, like an unfit man would. At this rate, his time on earth was not long.
At a conference dinner with the high society of politicians, engaging in conversations which would lead to more and more boredom to the king as he had seen this scene many, many times in his lifetime before and he almost knew the routine of what to do and what to say as he would greet dignitaries from other countries and nations around about him and his new country of origin. looking across the conference room, almost speechless, he finally sees her; the love of his life, his former servant. He has a flashback in that moment in time to see a vision of his servant, who at the time was just a young spirited girl, who had now matured into a conservative woman standing right in front of him as she was a waitress at the conference. It just goes to show that some things just don't change. As she is serving drinks at the conference, her boss harasses her and tries to touch her inappropriately, but she fights back, and he was just about to hit her, when the king stepped in and grabbed his hand as to not strike her, and looked at him with a stare of death. The boss backed off with the look of fear in his eyes, not knowing who the king was. The king sternly says to him, "I believe this is a lawsuit waiting to happen…" to which the boss of the woman replied, "what business is this to you, this does not concern you get out of here!", to which the king responds, "this has everything to do with me because this is 'my' conference." The king said looking high only like a king would, with his eyes looking down at him with an intent to kill look in his eyes, to which the boss of the woman fired her and let her go. "I am sorry it seems I have caused you to be fired from your job" the king said softly to the woman (his former servant, to which she has no memory of), and she responded to the king, holding back tears in her voice "It is ok, I was going to quit anyway, he was such an asshole!" she said angrily rolling back her eyes. He looked at her and knew she had been through a lot, not knowing where she had been or where she had gone since the last time he saw her on that fateful day 1,000 years ago.
The king looks at her, for a moment almost not knowing what to do, handing to her his card, and says to her, "come to my office on Monday morning.." he said to her professionally whilst grinning at her. 'Why are you doing this…?" She asked softly. Leon, thinking for a moment, responds professionally with a deep breath, "I need an assistant, who will help me with the day to day operations of the business and to assist me with my travel arrangements and assist with the smooth running of the business while I am out on the road, I need someone very urgently…the job pays very well, with plenty of benefits…." Leon said professionally. She swallowed a breath as this sounded almost too good to be true, "What's the catch?" She asked curiously. ", no catch. Come to my office Monday Morning 10am and we will talk more in detail then. Come on time…" He said sternly yet softly as he winked at her, as he made the intention clear to her that he was going to hire her. They look at each other in that one moment in time as time almost freezes for a second and says goodnight to her and walks off slowly turning his back to her, with his hands in his pockets in his long black business pants, to which he loosens his top buttons on his white business conference shirt walking off trying to cool off from not killing the boss of the woman. As he walks off and she looks at the card, she realises it is only the biggest millionaire in the country who had just hired her. So, it begins... for them both.
The king and his loyal best friend and brother who stood by his side for the last 1,000 years, he too received the gift of eternal life (will say how he obtained this at a later chapter). He had a different personality than that of the king. The king's brother was more observant, wise and one of the nation's top war strategists in his time during the reign of the king 1,000 years prior, and is still the king's advisor on many topics, from politics, economics and business, to dealing with enemies of state and in tight situations which saved both the king and his nation at the same time in many, many battles and wars over the years. Leon calls his brother on the phone, as he is on the balcony of the conference place, to which, Radeon answers the phone while he was on a business trip. Ray picks up the phone, "Leon, is everything alright at the conference…" Ray asked softly. While Leon is out on the balcony talking on the phone, "Ray…. I found her….." He said seriously but softly, looking down, then looking to the side slightly, as his eyes glowed deep bright blue whilst glancing at Maia as she walked to a taxi to head home, while he was on the phone….. moment fades to white…
Six months later, The king, standing and looking outside his apartment window just outside of the earth's atmosphere on the 1,000th floor in his apartment building, overlooking the city and beyond, seeing the city lights as they sparkle in the night sky. As he is looking out the window, he feels pain in his chest and falls to his knees grasping for breath, grabbing hold of the waist of the woman that he loves, so that he doesn't fall completely in front of her, finally holding her in his arms after so long, holding on to her with pain in his heart. She falls to her knees to meet him at his level and tries to comfort him in his pain, tears streaming down her eyes as she feels powerless to help him. He looks at her so gently as the light from the city sparkles against her face in the night sky in this dark apartment, making her eyes glitter like the stars in the sky. He gently embraces her face and smiles at her gently and assures her everything will be alright. He then gets up slowly as to not look weak in front of her (every man does!), "where are you going?" she asks concerned, to which he responds to her in a straight forward manner, "wait here for me, I will come back" he answered softly, knowing in his heart that he was lying and that where he was going, he was not coming back. He leaves her there and walks out the apartment door slowly walking down the hallway (slow motion manner) and gets into the elevator and goes down to earth ground level, from the 1,000th floor. As he is looking out of the elevator overlooking the earth's atmosphere, going down looking towards the horizon where he was about to go and finish his last battle, as he takes in a deep breath to finish it. He gets in one of his many sports cars as he picks his fastest cars, a black Lamborghini and drives 100kms to the place where he had won his first battle as King 1,000 years before, which is now a protected national forest with mountains against the sunset. There, he meets the same foe he defeated that day on the battlefield, who now threatens him and all he has; the woman he loves, as she holds the key to the past.
As Leon sees his enemy in the distance, he puts the brakes on so hard that the car screeches over the road to a full stop on the side of the road, as the king is shocked to see he was still alive for so long, only now to see him alive. The king is in shock and confusion as to how this could have happened. As the king goes out to face him one last time.
