Chapter 94
**Tzalmon Point of View**
"So, this Mr. Arundel knew someone called Acacia." I said after hearing his version of the episode that happened in the party.
"That's right, Majesty."
"And this Acacia was apparently an Architect." When Azar asked that, a thoughtful look appeared on all our faces.
"Yes." Eelk said with a proud smile.
"But this Mr. Arundel was from Ireland and he had met her there two years ago?" Now, this part of the story is where it all got messed up.
Eelk nodded hesitantly which proved even he was confused by this part of information.
Two years ago...
But how...
"That's not really possible." Gyles who has been quite all this while commented doubtfully. "This might not be Lady Dawn, Majesty."
I think so too. It cannot be the very Acacia we are talking about because for her to be there in Ireland and be an architect for her client is simply not possible.
"Uh. I thought the same at first, however -" Eelk paused, staring at us brooding where he should continue to say what he wanted to or not.
"However?" I demanded.
"Mr. Arundel's description of the Acacia he was talking about was a little similar to Lady Dawn we knew."
"And what does that mean?" Azar got excited as he heard that and truthfully, I was as well.
Eelk sighed and opened his mouth reluctantly to answer us. "Beautiful big eyes, long dark hair, pretty face that could bring down kingdoms, a taciturn showcasing her strong personality without using words. Sounds familiar, does it not?"
Everyone fell in pin drop silence for good few minutes, each of us having our own thought process. That really sound like Eblilis; so similar that for a moment there I was sure she was the one.
Yet...
Yet something pulled me back from believing it.
"I would've been sure if it was five months ago." Gyles spoke suddenly, giving the same perspective that I have.
"I know what you mean. That is the reason I found it similar yet I couldn't confirm."
"If we did not come to mortal realm and had not met people here, not seen the culture here, we could've certainly confirmed that it was Lady Dawn he was talking about. But I realized that I've seen and met several people with similar personalities over time here that it was not strange for a woman to be soft-spoken yet powerful in this realm."
Azar literally stole the words out of my mouth. What is said is exactly what I was thinking. Unlike the mystical realms, the mortal world is truly fast paced in its culture. People, men and women both, here are much more relaxed as they have rather great amount of freedom.
This gradually caused mortals to make improvements in life and lifestyles although this has its downsides too. Because of this advancement and fast changing trends, mortals have variety of traits that are not common in mystical realms.
So Eblilis's personality maybe considered different and wild back in my kingdom but here, it is considered something common and very much natural.
"If you too think this might not really be Lady Dawn, what clue were you talking about?" I took the list of guests who attended the party again and asked Eelk as my attention is now divided between him and the list.
"If she was our Lady Dawn after looking into it, then it is good, if not, we will now know a few certain places to look for her. Isn't Lady Dawn passionate about building things? Maybe we should start from that."
And after telling the whole story, he finally arrived at the same point I was thinking about. Some subjects I have here!
While Azar, Eelk and Gyles were having other discussions, I checked the list and rounded off few names of people and companies that are worth checking out.
"Look at the names I circled, Eelk, leave the Thunders' to us and look into the names and companies I highlighted in this list."
Eelk looked closely and nodded in contemplation. A moment later, his stern and serious face gave out a full blown blush like smile, something we had never seen on him nor from any of my people.
Uh, why is he smiling like a creepy ghoul who was starved for a century?
"I'm glad to see Fortune on the list." For the first time in my centuries of life, I heard a man giggle and unfortunately it was my own subordinate.
Again, for the first time in my life, a chill ran down my spine and to think that even the worst of my enemies couldn't do that was an understatement.
"Can you please, umm, stop giggling?" Gyles shivered as he hugged himself protectively.
"What fortune are you talking about?" Azar, who has been scowling at Eelk, asked.
"Aviva Fortune, the Vice President of ID Designs." He mumbled to himself loudly with a grin. "Why not I start from ID Designs?"
"No." I ended his romantic thought as fast as it sprouted in him. With a hard glare pinning on him, I pointed a finger at him, "You are to look for your Queen first before looking for a lady for yourself."
"Of course, Majesty. I will do that simultan-"
"You shall prioritize your Queen first before all. Any sort of distractions can delay our main objective here. Start looking for Eblilis by the chronological order in the list." I ordered, making sure I made my point clearly.
Eelk bowed down and nodded his head with an ocean of sadness swimming on his face. He looked so disappointed and depressed that it might even compete my longing for my Eblilis.
And to think that he only met her just few hours ago! This man has lost his mind.
"I understand, Majesty. I shall fulfill my duties without a hitch. Finding Lady Dawn is my first priority always." He announced.
That rest of the night passed by and the next morning brought a new light to my life with new found confidence.
Somehow, for some good reason, I feel as if something good was going to happen. My heart, which has been in turmoil from the moment she left me, was now both filled with anticipation and excitement.
As per the plans, Azar and Gyles went off to Thunders' and Eelk on his own mission. Today, I have my own mission as well - her painting.
I got the necessary stationary last night so I can paint her as soon as possible. I wanted to do it last night itself but the work related to Thunders' has occupied me so today, I have to send the picture of her painting to the Captain.
Two hours later, I got it done and like I learnt, I took a picture of it from my phone and sent it to Captain through Whatsapp.
I thought of going to Thunders' to do my part of the job of being the owner only, I kept standing in front of my house for whole ten minutes in complete disbelief.
Pulling out my phone, I called Gyles first to ask for an explanation. "Where is my car?" I growled totally out of mind.
"Umm, Majesty, isn't there another car for you?" Gyles mumbled guiltily.
Aren't both the cars mine?
How come he took my vehicle without asking for my permission? I am his King for goodness sake!
"Your courage is really growing well. Did you all forget who I am and who you are?"
"That's not the case, Majesty. I apologize for taking the car without permission but seeing there was one more car for you and we have important work to attend to, we couldn't help. What happened to the maroon car?"
"Why don't you ask Eelk?" I cut the call and called Eelk immediately.
"This is Eelk speaking."
"How nice. You might not sound this nice the next time you pick my phone." I gritted.
"M-Majesty!" He exclaimed in fear.
"Ah, so you still remember I am your King. How kind of you." I growled out loudly. "Where are you?"
"M-Majesty, I'm currently on my way to Vulcan Architects."
"Vulcan Architects? Isn't it located on the other side of the city?" Seriously now?
"Yes, sir."
"How are you going there?"
"By car, Majesty." He answered smoothly as if he doesn't know what his mistake was.
"By my car?"
"That's right Majesty." He sure has become dumb after coming here.
"And did you ask me before using my car?"
"That... Majesty -" I heard the sound of panting from the other side of the phone.
So you know how to be scared now.
"Now how am I going to reach Thunders' now?"
"I apologize, Majesty. I was supposed to visit several places so I took the car without thinking. How about you please wa-" He stopped himself. I could hear him gulp loudly through phone.
"Please what?" Don't tell me he wants me to wait for someone to pick me up!
"Umm, Majesty can you please - walk - Please walk there for today!" Words rushed out from his mouth followed beep sound indicating he cut the call on me.
Walk there?
Did he just cut the call on me?
This is heights of disrespect! What happened to those loyal obedient subjects of mine?
