The Me From This World and The Queen's Sweet Feast Invite

"Relax, relax. I'm just joking." Mikhail said to Renji. "After all, you're gonna need me to get home. Without me, you'll never get home. Also, didn't you said you hate Mondays and school."

"Did you just threaten us?" Renji got angry as he heard what Mikhail said even though what Mikhail said is true. It's true that he hate going to school He just still didn't understand anything Mikhail just said. 

"Curse it. It true that I hate going to school. Why must the fate fated me to be summoned to this crazy world?! Also, Mikhail said that he is me from this world but named Mikhail instead of Renji. Doesn't that mean I'm him from my world? It doesn't make sense at all!" Renji's talking to himself in his mind.

"Whoa, whoa. So furious just like me when I'm younger. In this world, I'm you but 18 years old. Well, you're still 16 years old after all."

"That just make it more confusing!" Renji said to Mikhail.

"No need to think too much about it. Just let it be. I'll explain more as you make progress. I'll be straight to the point." Mikhail said as he got serious. "Renji, I need you to replace me as Mikhail Ivanovich Volkov the crown prince. I need you to become the crown prince that this kingdom needs. As you fulfill my request, I will return you right at the time before you got transferred to this world. I will also return you body and mental state just same as before you came here. For now, just rest and I will tell you more later."

"If like that, I will accept your request. Be sure to fulfill your deal."

"Okay then. Go to sleep now"

Renji looked at Mikhail who was still there even though he told Renji to rest. He face became serious as he looked at him.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that, Renji?"

"Why are you still here? I need to sleep, fucker!"

"Oh, I see. Sorry. I guess you're just like me who likes playing with girls." Mikhail said as he went out through the door.

"That's not it, damn it!" Renji yelled even though Mikhail already gone out of his sight.

After that, Renji and Tsukiko just went to sleep.

Just like that, the night went away and the morning came. Renji and Tsukiko went to bath separately not like how it was ordered by Anastasia. Anastasia told him that the maid must take care of his bath and the one that also need to bath him. Renji just asked Tsukiko to ignore it but Tsukiko was the one that prepared the bath in bathroom of Mikhail's room.

Suddenly, the door was knocked by someone. That someone just stay in front of the door and he didn't enter the room.

"Who art thou?" Renji's fancy returned since he was talking to someone other than Mikhail and Tsukiko.

"It is I, David, a knight in service of the castle. Prince Mikhail, thou art bidden by Her Majesty the Queen at the rose garden" David answered Renji

""Very well, I shall attend anon. Proceed with thy duty, I grant thee leave." Renji told David.

"Yes, my liege. Also, my liege, Her Majesty asked if thee to bring your personal maid with you to meet her." David responded and leave his room.

"Tsukiko, wake up. The queen asked us to meet her." Renji woke up Tsukiko who went back to sleep after her bath. She woke up and tidied up her hair that became mess because of the bath and the sleep after the bath.

After 10 minutes, Renji and Tsukiko arrived at the rose garden. The queen was already there. She sat on the seat. In front of her, there was a table. On the table, there are sweets like cookies and cakes. And there is also tea and teacup on the table.

"Here art thou at last, my beloved son. Come, sweetheart. Sit thou here, before thy mother." The queen told Renji who looked alike to Mikhail. More specifically, she told Mikhail.

"Yea, sweet mother." Renji answered the queen.

"What doest thou, my dear? Why dost thou not partake of the goodly fare at once, as aforetime? Thou seemest wondrous strange, sweet heart." The queen weirded by her son's weird behaviour who used to has sweet tooth suddenly dont eat right away after he saw all the goods on the table. She just let it be. "Yet still, I wish thee joy upon thy day of birth, Mikhail."

The queen wished happy birthday to Mikhail. Renji who surprised by what the queen said about her abnormal behavior, took the plate with 2 cakes on it and reached for a fork to eat the cakes. He ate it just like that and the queen just stared at her son eating the cakes. Tsukiko who was standing behind him was drooling when she saw all the sweet on the table. The queen noticed it.

"Come, sweet Misha. Take thy place at my side, and eat with us." The queen invited or ordered Misha (Tsukiko) to eat the goods with alongside her and her son.

"But, gracious queen, it is no place for me to feast at table with thee and the prince." Tsukiko answered the queen.

"Forget the custom, sweet one. I was once a common soul in this very kingdom, till by my union with my beloved king was I crowned its queen. Is it not so, my maids? Did I not ever bid my maids to share sweetmeats with me? Speak, my maids." The queen said to Misha and her maids. The head maid was also there.

"Yea, my gracious queen." All the maids there answered the queen except Misha.

"If thou so sayest, my queen, I shall obey thy command." Tsukiko said to the queen. She sat beside her and ate the cakes that was already served.

There they the prince, the queen and Misha chatted while eating the goods.

After half an hour, they finished their feast. The queen started to talk seriously.

"Sweetheart mine, I have a gift for thee." The queen said and took out a necklace that has a small book lookalike on it. No, it is a book. But the book has a gem on it. Kinda weird for a book to has gem stick to it.

She gave it to Mikhail. She also said "My sweetheart, write thy name and thy personal maid's name in the book.

Without asking anything, Renji took it and write Mikhail's name and Misha's name on  a page inside the book.

"Wear the necklace." The queen ordered Mikhail.

Renji wore it on his neck. 

 The queen then she tapped  the gem on the book and said "Forgive me, my sweetheart, and thou, dear Misha. I was not merely a folk of the common people, but a witch, who by beauty’s charm did bewitch the current king in the past. Yet now, my darling, I charge thee: set forth upon a little quest, and taste the life of common folk, that thou mayst know the world beyond these walls." 

"What meanest thou by this, Mother— what dost thou… ah…" Renji staggers, his voice breaking, then falls insensible. 

He and Tsukiko passes out so suddenly in the middle of the garden. The queen ordered the maids and the knight to carry Mikhail and Misha to Mikhail's bedroom and laid them on the bed.

At Mikhail's bedroom. The queen looked at her unconscious son and said "Alas, my child, I am full sorry." while rubbing her son's white and gray hair.

She went out of the room after a while. She ordered the knights on duty and maids to not enter the Mikhail's room at all.

"Hearken, all ye servants of the castle: none shall set foot within Prince Mikhail’s chamber. Let it be known, this room is henceforth forbidden to every soul," spake the Queen. She then left from there.
