Change

It was a fine evening and after getting answers to my questions; I felt it was my duty to save my kingdom.

First, I wanted to go meet the families of the three guards, who accompanied me on the quest to the interior of the sphinx.

I called the maid to ask her how to get to their houses. She said that I can get one guard to guide me to their houses.

The room which I stayed in seemed to be my room, it was big ..... I mean, too big for me. I kept my room in my world filled with books and gadgets, but this room was enormous and empty, except for some furniture.

And then I went out of my room and explored the palace to find a way out. The palace was extravagant and looked so cool.

I got lost inside the palace looking for a way out.

The maid was a little worried about me when I said I couldn't remember the way out.

I suddenly got a doubt.

(Can I say that I got reincarnated to anyone?)

(No, never say that to anyone, until you have found the person to be extremely reliable, anyway they won't believe you even if you say so.)

(Why won't they believe me? Has this not happened to anyone else in this world, there must be someone like me.)

(I ain't allowed to answer that question now?)

Is he not supposed to answer all my questions,

*In a mocking tone*

I will answer all the questions regarding the world…. my a**.

(Will you answer my questions like this later?)

(Maybe)

F***

I hate this guy when he does this.

I was standing in the same place and staring at the ceiling while this was going on inside my head.

The maid got a little worried and came close to me.

[Second prince, are you alright?]

I came to my senses.

And I came with an excuse to avoid any further problems.

[I think I hurt my head too hard. I can't remember some things properly: maybe I am having amnesia.]

[Amnesia, What's that]

S***

They don't use medicinal terms here. I must be careful.

[Sorry, my tongue slipped, and I blabbered something. Forget anything I said.

I think I might have memory loss]

[Memory loss...

If you say so, prince]

What's up with this maid?

Anyway, I think she got convinced now.

I found the way out of the palace with the help of the maid.

On my way out, I met my father and mother.

When I saw them, I couldn't hold my joy in. I rushed towards them and hugged them.

[Mom, Dad I know I have been irresponsible all these days..... I am sorry, From now I would work to repay for all the troubles I have caused for the kingdom.]

After hearing my words, my pa smiled at me.

[Your words are sincere. I am glad to hear these words from you. I hope you will hold on to it]

My ma grabbed my hand,

tears filled her eyes

[I am glad to hear this from you. Please do nothing reckless again.]

[I will not mother.]

I waved them goodbye and said to them; I was going to make some amends and came out of the palace through the enormous gates.

It was a typical desert type city filled with stalls and houses. I saw some vendors sadly sitting in the corner, unable to sell anything in their stalls.

Most of the stalls were also empty.

The shops which were open were largely filled with watermelons, potatoes, and dates, whereas some shops were filled with accessories for women. I also saw vendors standing with a can trying to sell camel milk.

But no one was buying from them, and most of the vendors were sitting and fanning themselves.

The stalls had normal night lamps which were lit up and hung on the edges of the shops. The houses and even the palace used lamps like these as their sources of light.

F***

This scenario showed me that my kingdom was worse than any other kingdom in this magical world.

I am using profane words.

I don't know how these profane words entered my mind, as I have never used them in my other world.

It's like my mind is filled with these words. I hate using them.

I think these words come through my mind because of this guy's personality.

I mean me 'me's' behavior which was present in the 'me' in the world, Argh, I am confusing myself too much.

It's better if I stop thinking about this.

Now to find a way to the guards' homes.

First, I wanted a map of my kingdom. Memorizing all of my kingdom's path would be much easier for me in the future.

I asked the nearest guard around me for a map. The guard brought me to the camp, which was actually a tent, and gave the map.

The map was pretty big. A very vast desert surrounded my entire kingdom, and my kingdom was in the middle of it.

The palace was in the middle of the map. To the left corner there were some liquid black fire fields marked down, and to the right there were the fields.

There were 2000 houses and 400 hundred other buildings totally and about 45,000 people, which the guard explained to me when I asked him about the population of the kingdom, and they lived in these houses surrounding the palace.

The map showed a military training center at the left bottom of the map and in the right bottom it showed beast hall.

Beast hall, what is that?

Let's visit the guard's houses, then we will learn more. So, I memorized every street and names and every part of the map in a glance.

Then I told the guard to lead me to the places I wanted to visit.

The guard led me to the homes of the three guards who died. I slowly entered their house and apologized to them and said,

[Inside the sphinx with the help of your family, I have found a way to make our kingdom prosperous. I will take care of your family's needs and will make sure none have died in vain. I am sorry....]

I broke down when I saw, in one of the family, that the guard who died was the husband of the woman who told me to save her child from the fire and caused my death in a manner

I repeated this statement to the three families. And I couldn't meet their eyes.

Everyone I met broke down, and I consoled them, and they consoled me.

I couldn't stand to hold up, so I left them after everything was over.

I wanted to forget all this sorrow.

And the only way to do that was to keep my promise to the families.

I went to the palace and joined my family for dinner.

After I finished eating, I asked some questions.

[Brother, Is there a place where I can create something or like to give my plan and make them design it for me.]

I didn't know how to ask about a workshop? Or how to find a mechanic?.

My family looked at me weirdly when I asked the question.

[You can probably go to the blacksmith if you want anything made.]

[Ok, then I will go there, brother will you accompany me?, I kinda forgot where it is?]

[Let's go there early in the morning. The blacksmith would have gone home.]

My family still looked at me as if I was acting.

The maid explained I was suffering from memory loss when she found me in a precarious situation.

[Should we hire a great healer to look at you?]

[No, I am totally fine, mom. I am sure the memories will return]

Slowly, everyone left to their rooms.

I didn't feel sleepy, so I asked the maid where I can find some books.

[Books. I don't think we have any master. They are extremely costly, so we don't have any, as we didn't have any need for it. Maybe you can ask the king regarding this.]

No books.... No need for books... what is with this world?

(Books are not mass-produced like in your world. They are handwritten and very costly, and magic books will cost a fortune.)

(What are magic books?)

(Magic books are books from which you can learn magic.)

The maid saw the worried look on my face.

[The king is about to go to sleep. Maybe you can ask about this to him before...]

Before she can complete the statement, I ran towards my father.
