Morning sun began to appear on the eastern horizon of Luminus City, a knocking sound wakes Angel from his sleep. He opened his eyes slowly, his head felt heavy and his entire body ached as if he had been beaten. He checked at his hand that was injured by Gale's arrow yesterday and realized his wound had healed.

"I understand why they are afraid of me because I'm also afraid of myself."

A knocking sound came again, this time accompanied by a faint sound from outside.

"Your Majesty, your breakfast is ready."

"I have to get up, today is my first court. I can't be late."

He sighed tiredly as he forced his body to move.

Frost noticed Angel had woken up, then he go straight to him and helped him to sit on his bed.

"Good morning, Your Majesty." he greeted.

"Thank you for keep me safe last night." he replied.

"It's my duty."

Another knocking accompanied by a faint voice from outside came back.

"Your Majesty, your breakfast is ready."

He took a glance to the door before turning his gaze back to Frost.

"Tell them, I will have my breakfast here."

Frost simply nodded, he released the 'magic barrier' that covered the room, walked to the door and opened it.

Sarah and some of maids greeted him with a slight bow.

"The king will have his breakfast in his chamber." Frost said to the maids.

"We will deliver his breakfast soon." Sarah said then she gestured to one of her maids to do the assignment.

"We also want to deliver the king's uniform." she said again.

Frost turned to him and waited for his answer.

"Let them in." he said as he raised up from his bed.

Some maids who brought several trays with uniforms entered the room then they lined up before him and bowed.

"Good Morning, Your Majesty."

He answered with a slight nod, he looked at them and noticed they still looked scared but not as bad as yesterday.

"Your Majesty, since we don't know your size yet, we bring you some uniforms to try on." Sarah said as she invited him to examine it.

He approached them one by one while checking each uniform on their tray and realized that every maid he approached immediately curled in fear, he finally took a uniform that has similar size as him.

"I'll use this."

"The royal tailor will come to make you a new uniform this noon." Sarah added.

"Thank you." he replied simply, then he went to the bathroom which placed at the opposite direction of the bed.

Some maids followed him, he halted his steps, then he turned towards them and they quickly curled in intimidation.

"You don't need to serve me for bath. That's also apply in the future." he said.

Again, they looked relieved as they bowed to him.

"We understand, Your Majesty."

He continued to walk toward the bathroom. He has severe scars all over his body, which can cause problems if anyone knows about it since usually only prisoners or criminals that have severe scars like this, especially Ilex's lash that has made a clear mark on his back. He didn't want to make any mistake that can make him difficult to stabilize his position as a king.

"If they see my scar, bad rumors will spread and it will complicate my position."

He spruced his half wet hair as he stepped out of the bathroom. He still wore the usual black military uniform of Euphorion troop but he had a gold badge engraved with king's crown crest surrounded by black diamonds, king of Euphorion's badge.

Sarah and the other maids were waiting for him beside a small dining table near a large window in the middle of the room with some food that already served on the table. There was baked rosemary bread with light fragrant soup, along with scrambled moss flamingo egg, sliced ​​baked iron sheep, some fresh vegetables salad and some fruits. Without saying anything, he sat down and finished his breakfast before leaving the room to the main hall followed by Frost.

He secretly took a deep breath to calm himself, when he saw a large white door with golden crest of Euphorion near him. This is his first court, he expect there will be a lot of resistance from the nobles and ministers in the early days of his reign.
