I miss you

"Who was that lady?". I asked.

"Oh, she is the new maid". Alan replied.

"A maid? She was dropped with a chariot, that's more of royalty or wealthy". I implored.

"She is Klaus, the commander's sister". Alan revealed.

"Klaus sister? Then why is she working as a maid?". I asked.

"She wanted a job and that was to be an army, but Klaus refused, saying it's too dangerous for a lady, and no man will want to get married to an army, so she has to do what a lady does, and this place seems secure, she might find a soulmate here, who knows". Alan replied, and I laughed at his last words.

"Klaus is so funny, so there is no other work apart from being a maid". I jabbered.

"Klaus said that the barracks were too dangerous for her. It is even risky for a man, let alone a lady. At least here is a safe place". Alan replied.

"I guess his love for his sister is too much, but so sad he got no idea the palace was more dangerous because the emperor is a beast". I bawled.

"You are not a beast, you are our great emperor. Everyone vowed to keep it a secret until we find a solution". Alan said.

"So I will have to stay indoor always".

"Yes, but there is a problem, you do teleport when the demon start manifesting". Alan implies.

" Close all doors...,

" worry I have a plan.

"It has been a long time I had a face-to-face discussion with our great general". Klaus beamed happily.

"That because you were too busy to come to the palace". I replied him warmly.

"I was too busy, or you were too busy." Klaus smiled.

"Let say we both were too busy".

"That's better".

"Klaus, why allow your sister to work as a maid?you are a commander, a man with great prestige, I had to lie to the emperor". I asked.

"Damn, I felt it okay for her here".

"Klaus, any job would have been better, but a maid? That way below your status".

"I know it is, for now, let her stay here and learn some things." Klaus remarked as I sighed.

"I understand".

" So where is the emperor? Let me greet him before I leave". Klaus said, smiling.

"There will be no need for that".

" Why?!!, it has been a long time we saw each other, Common Alan I am not a stranger, I am is only friend, childhood friend, common Alan". Klaus gawped, I know he was getting pissed but trying to control it.

How will I tell him his best friend is a demon, he is trustworthy, but I would rather not hurt his feelings, it might destroy their friendship.

"Not like that Klaus, the emperor isn't around, he went on a study today". I lied.

"Damn, Vishnu and study, he never gets tired of studying, he should rest his brain for once. He is an emperor to cry out loud, his people need him. So when is he coming back? So I can plan my schedule". Klaus said.

"I guess he might stay for like four or five months".

"Damn, why is Vishnu like this? I missed him so much. It has been years since I saw him, I know I am always busy, but I do find time to see him when I am less busy, but each time I come, he is not always around....., is he avoiding me?".

" Hell no, don't say such, Vishnu will never do that h.....

"Hey Klaus, what brought you to my palace today, what a miracle, a prayer answered" Vishnu said, interrupting Alan. Klaus stood up immediately.

"Alan said you went on a study".

" Yeah, I haven't gotten there when I heard you were at the palace, so I changed my mind. Damn, I miss you so much". Vishnu explained as they both hugged.

"I miss you more".

" I guess I will take my leave now". I stated as I bowed and left.

* * *

"You didn't even bother coming to visit me, it is so unfair". I said. I couldn't even recognize his face anymore, if not that I heard Alan called his name, I would have thought he was just a guest of Alan.

"I am always busy, I do come during my leisure time, but it seems like a bad timing because you are not always around".

"Yeah bad timing, words can't describe how much I missed you. I have so happy to see you, damn, you are grown, see your muscle, you are now so strong, body so hard". I blurted as we both laughed.

"Yea that's due to the training and stress". Klaus beamed.

"I warn you then, I begged you not to go, but you refused. I know it was that girl you saw at the ceremony that made you join". I said, laughing.

" You mean Yvonne?".

"Yeah".

"That not the reason, I got the passion burning inside of me, it's my dream".

" Oh poor me who got no dream, no passion, just grew up as an emperor".

"How does it feel to have a passion for something?".I continued.

"I can't explain, like a feeling, a strong emotion, it is strong like interest or excitement". Klaus replied.

"I miss you so much, I love to spend a night here but work won't allow it". Klaus said.

I can't tell him my problem, I trust him, but I don't know how to tell him. How do I even tell him that I am a demon, or I have a demon in me? He might never talk to me, he might hate me, but Klaus doesn't look like he will leave or hate me for that, I don't want to lose our friendship, I….

"Hey Your Highness, are you here?"Klaus asked jolting me out of my thoughts.

"When did you start addressing me with respect?". I asked, laughing.

"I do respect you".

" You do, I was just joking, when are you going to show me your wife or girlfriend?".I asked smiling.

"I should be the one asking you that, you are the emperor so you need a wife, you need an heir". Klaus declared, smiling.

"Will you give your sister to me?". I asked, laughing.

"I don't want her trouble,besides you know she doesn't even like you".

"I don't like her too, I haven't seen a girl I like". I said.

"Well I have seen a girl I love, but hasn't told her about it, we are just friends, and I can't tell her, for fear of rejection". Klaus said as I laughed.

"It's Yvonne, right?". I asked.

"Yeah, how did you know?".

"Your closeness made many people suspicious, well, you both will make a nice couple".

" Yeah, we'll". Klaus said.

"I would like to see this, your so-called sister".

" She made me promise not to reveal her identity, because you won't want her to do anything, and that will make another maid jealous". Klaus replied.

"Well, promises are not to be broken, so I will let it slide".

" I wish I could stay longer, but I doubt that will be possible, you are going to study today". Klaus bawled.

"I wish so ".

" I will take my leave now, goodbye".
