Chapter 11 [A Kingdom for the Lost? : A Lost Emperor]

(???) POV

Today, the Lost Kingdom with few citizens is about to welcome an additional person.

With only just 25 people to live, manage and to benefit from the kingdom, an addition is warmly accepted.

In this kingdom, my name is 'The Lost Attendant'. I am to manage the palace that serves as the proof of this kingdom's existence, alone.

Others also individually manage a sector of economy of the kingdom while mine was the castle in the middle of the kingdom.

Today, the king is to visit in order to personally escort a future fellow citizen. I'm happy and excited to see whom our ruler, who nicknamed himself 'The Lost Wanderer' brought to us, whom he recognized as his beloved people.

Upon hearing that the escorted would also live in the castle together with the king, I especially made more effort to make the castle comfortable every day.

'Yes, the carpet is clean and rolled out throughout where it needed to be. The ceiling does not have any webs on it, excellent. The hallways and windows are free of dust, very good to you, self.'

I patted myself in the back as a sign of approval to my excellence.

' Now, it's time to manage my expression.'

I chuckled. Well, it's true that I can't show up as a carefree one, ain't I?

People nowadays would rather like serious ones, they deem them trustworthy and fit for the job.

I took a deep breath and stood straight. Upon hearing the sound of the approaching carriage, I readied myself for whoever may come as if a warrior ready to face death.

"Well, it's true that the king is like my savior." I mumbled before getting really serious.

The majestic white and gold-inlaid carriage stopped infront as I bowed in respect and waited in anticipation.

'I can't see through it. It's too bad. The king must really treasure this new one. '

The carriage's door opened and the king went down first. Well, my daily praises are ready.

'As expected, the king looks as majestic and coolly stoic as always.'

Then I saw him smile and reached out his hand inside.

'T-this.. Amazing! So the king can actually smile? Ha, to reach out his hands so gentlemanly like that, could it be that the castle can have its own mistress now?'

And as I expected, a beautiful hand reached out and rested it on the king's -- wait, on the door frame?

Using it as a support, a beautiful person exited clothed in a white fabric. Red hair reached his waist and ruby eyes sharply looked at me. With an indifferent face, he roamed his eyes around.

Upon seeing this person, goodness, I was surprised!!

I would have wanted to assume that the person was a lady but looking closely can prove otherwise.

An adams apple and a flat chest. A frame also similar to the king, thin and sickly.

It's a man!!

A man can also look this otherworldly?

But I quickly snapped out of my stupor and gave an appropriate greeting.

"Greetings to the king and the new dweller."

The king nodded while the beauty a bit similar looking to the king only stared at me for a second and looked away.

With two otherworldly beauties standing together, I don't know how many ladies would go crazy at these scene.

'Especially, the newcomer.'

I mean, maybe it's because I usually look at the king's face everyday and nights on a portrait that's why the fresh ones piqued my interest. I'm sorry, my king. I am still the most loyal to you.

" 'Lost Attendant', do guide the newcomer to his room and let him rest."

"Yes, my king. I have also prepared a room for you-"

"There's no need."

I wasn't surprised, I was only testing the waters whether the newcomer was an impact to the king. It seems not, how disappointing.

The Lost Wanderer then looked back at his side and talked softly.

"I'll come see you soon, do wait for me."

Then he left in his carriage while the red-haired was still indifferent despite the soft tone.

'How uncaring. A rare previlege is wasted by him'

Inside, I shaked my head.
