Chapter 102

**Tzalmon Point of View**

Nay, this won't do.

I should do something. Something that would make her come close to by herself.

She is in this city, she is most probably a permanent resident here and she most definitely doesn't know that I came to her world for her and our son.

I still have a little advantage here despite the fact that I still couldn't find her.

There should be some way to lure her towards me without making my presence obvious. There should be some way...

I tapped my fingers on the table and kept thinking about all the possibilities. Eblilis is like a streak of lightening that appears and disappears in a blink of an eye. Surely, this is the work of destiny playing a game with me but I am not a normal mortal as well.

If I have to then I shall play along and shall find her sooner than anticipated. It's just that, I should have a right bait to pull the fish out.

Mulling over the possible ways of finding her, I went through the paperwork of Thunders and noticed that surprisingly, the business has a good start. The gym was well accepted and all the wealthy people who are into physical maintenance found Gyles guidance exceptionally great.

The first few days, it was only a few VIP members that checked out the gym briefly but as they went through Gyles workout schedule and Eelk's dietary plan, not only their visitations were more frequent, their acquaintances also got passes for the gym as well.

Thinking about it, it is not really a wonder if the business was abnormally well going compared to those of mortals. Being a half-deity and a supernatural realm's king has its perks. Luck is a lot stronger for us, for me than mortals.

"Let's do this, since the self defense class is an early morning one, stop the application after three days the classes started. The applications that came in after that, we can start evening classes two months later for them. Since the kids take a little time to grasp the foundation, a few weeks of laying the basics for them, the two classes can be clubbed into one." I said, marking the schedule sheet with the changes.

Eelk nodded his head took a note of it on his ipad. After seeing Gyles getting his ipad on his own, Eelk and Azar got jealous and got themselves each too. Eelk who is more in tune with this world and their creation felt that Gyles is going way past him in the technology knowledge so he is pretty sulked up from a few days.

This got worse when our residence received and few parcels of online orders that Gyles ordered for himself god know what.

Now, among all of us, only I don't have an ipad and seriously speaking, I don't mind or care. I realize that too much convenience is not good for both physical and mental health.

"Is there something you wanted to tell?" Seeing that he did not leave, I asked without raising my head.

"You did not tell me you met Ms. Aviva Fortune." Eelk asked with another of his sulking face that he seems to be using frequently these days.

"I did. I said a couple of kids related to ID designs shall enroll for self defense classes by the end of next month, didn't I?" I answered, ignoring the fact that he actually questioned me.

"Indeed, sir but you did not mention that it was Ms. Fortune that asked for the applications."

"So?" What is his problem now? Didn't I still give the responsibility to him seeing he was interested in that lady?

I actually did something silly like that, for whom?

Isn't it for my subordinate?

Eelk observed my nonchalance and shook his head. "Nothing sir. It's just that I'm feeling down because I missed a chance to meet her."

"Commander Eelk, you just met her an hour ago and handled the applications process for both the kids. You spoke to her for whole one hour just to assure her that the kids shall catch up with the classes even though they will be starting late. You even showed off your authority before her by ordering - not requesting - but ordering Azar to take the basic lessons of the self defense classes slow for one and half month. Say, what is all the fuss about?" Eelk nodded immediately, agreeing to all the points I made.

"That's right. You are right sir. You even let me handle the application process for her. You are the best, Majesty." With that he unexpectedly lost his senses for a moment and actually ran to where I sat and gave me a rather tight hug before turning back and leaving without a word.

I was so surprised by his sudden unexpected and daring hug that for full ten minutes I was in absolute daze.

I was profoundly speechless by his audacious action!

Did he forget that I am his King and he is my subject?

How come it seems like I am taking care of these three instead of being it opposite?

I rubbed my temples and shook my head with a groan before going back to the work in hand.

The self defense classes for children has already started and the classes for women shall be starting soon as well.

At first, I did not have a thought to schedule martial arts classes for men but when Lieutenant Allen had a spar with Gyles in the gym after the Captain, he inquired about what style of fighting Gyles used and why it was so smooth yet powerful.

An hour of chatting later, Lieutenant Allen asked if we have any thought of starting special classes for men for the new style of fighting technique.

After taking a small survey among the current members of gym, it is decided that classes for men shall be started soon as well. However, since most of these men work for longer hours per day, it is decided that there will be three days a week classes.

Pressing the bell under my table, I asked for a hot coffee in the intercom that is directly connected to the pantry staff area.

Soon a staff member whom I haven't seen before walked in with a cup of piping hot coffee and placed it in front me. He bowed and was about to leave when I stopped him.

He turned back and looked at me respectfully. I stared at him, into his eyes for a moment before speaking. "Gruris?"

Hearing me, the staff member's eyes went wide and stared at me in surprise and fear. "A Gruris man? In mortal realm?" Again, his eyes nearly balled out and he started to sweat.

Gruris are one of the mystical beings from the mystical realms. They are second grade supernatural beings that are not too powerful nor too weak. However, they could hold their place as second grade power race is because of their unique ability.

Gruris has ability to metamorphosis. They can change or metamorphic into another person, being or object. Turning into an object without being identified by aura is a high level skill that even the Monarch of the race himself couldn't achieve so easily. The current Monarch of Gruris has been on the throne for two centuries now and he is yet to achieve the ability to transform into a desired object.

"You - you are -"

"King Tzalmon Saccius Ebernus." I said briefly and noticed that his legs are shaking. "What is a Gruris doing in the mortal world?"

He got down on his knees and bowed to me before telling me his name. "I'm called Normann, Your Majesty. The Gruris race has mingled among the humans for about two centuries now, sir. Despite being powerless, our king has noticed that mortal's development was rather good and the mortal world good place to venture we slowly started off by working small jobs to build something for ourselves."

So it's like that. I know many races have mingled themselves among mortals and a few also wedded mortals comfortably too but Gruris being a second rated race was also here surprised me.

But thinking about it, Gruris are more suited to mortal world than anyone else given their metamorphosis ability.

"What about the kingdom then? And your powers?" I asked getting pretty interested.

"Our king manages both the world's duties, sir. Our powers are well as usual." He feared me but that was mostly because I am the king of one of the most powerful races but otherwise, his replies were honest, without a hitch.

"So your king has his own business here. Why aren't you working for him then?" Normann seemed a little flustered by my question and hesitated to answer.

"I want an honest answer."

"I, along with a few from our race were expelled from the company that the King owns. However, we are not exiled from the kingdom so we were able to find some jobs."

"Expelled? Why?"

"That - three years ago a lady offended our king so our king ordered a group of us to turn into that lady's child and people around her to make her life worse than death. But due to a mistake from the high rank person, we got the wrong details of person and we acted upon on the wrong target. What we did not expect that there was something different about the wrong lady and her child we targeted."

"What wrong?"

"The lady was clearly and certainly a human but her child is definitely not. That child was only an year old or so then but the moment we transformed into our characters and tried to harm the lady, we not turned back into our normal status, the whole race experienced our power to drop to half. Even our King was not exempted from it."

My heart thundered when I heard that. A power that can cut down half of a second rated race's power should be one the most powerful races and there are only three of those including mine.

A spark of doubt and expectation rose in my heart suddenly so I pinned Normann with a hard stare and asked.

"What is the name of the woman you attacked?"
