Chapter 130
**Tzalmon Point of View**
'The only pride I have right now is to forgo you forever. Goodbye.'
"How can they end it like that? How can they?" For the first time ever, I saw tears.
Not in my eyes but someone who is more unexpected to cry than me; Gyles!
He is literally balling his eyes out right now after the current movie we were watching came to an end. I feel extremely sad for how it ended too but compared to Gyles overwhelming emotions, mine are incomparable.
What is more frustrating is, he doesn't even have a lady love by his side and he is being so emotional about it while I, who has been trying to win mine back, faded out in comparison.
Nonetheless, I again learnt something new about relationships.
All thanks to these wonderful life depicting movies and series. Although the current movie was not a happy ending, it did reminded me of many things where I went wrong with Eblilis.
So what if Mr. Winters or anyone doesn't help me out in pursuing Eblilis; thanks to these countless love, romance, dramatic and contemporary movies and dramas, I am able to know my way around a true relationship.
"Why are you crying? Did she leave you or the main male character?" I chided when I got distracted from taking notes because of all his wailing.
Gyles' wails remind of a ghost cries from one the horror movies we watched recently. Almost as if he was the one who gave the background voice to the ghost!
"I don't know, Majesty. I think she should've forgiven him and reunited with him. Why will she choose to leave him and suffer? But then again, she is so pitiful!"
Okay! Can you please calm down?
"Sir Gyles, she forgave him but she couldn't forget what he did to her. She cannot go back to him because she cannot trust him with herself anymore." Azar, unexpectedly, commented like Eelk.
Eelk immediately turned to Azar and patted his shoulder like a proud master satisfied with his disciple.
I shook my head and wrote down the notes of what I gained from the recently movie, where I think did wrong in the past and what I could do to fix it in the future.
And so, I wrote a total of twenty pages review and only then did I put the pen down. I turned back the pages of the book and realized that the things I have to fix and do are becoming infinite and this is only my nine 'review and reflection' book.
"Okay, so now I have to cause my thoughts to enter her mind without her will. This means, I have to make her think of me in her free time." I mumbled to myself and pulled all the nine books and went through them one after the other to find a good idea.
Food and flowers must've did at least farthest decimal percentage work for now. It was reported that she never touched the food I sent and the flowers went into trash can directly.
But one day – one day she might not throw them away. One day, she might get into a habit of receiving them, get into a habit of being fussy about receiving them from me and might – and just might miss them right?
"Eelk, how is it going with your girlfriend now?" I looked at him expectantly. He said that Eblilis gave her blessings to Eelk to chase after Aviva Fortune. She even hinted about Aviva's schedule to him.
That day, Eelk forgot who he was and who I am and was so smug to me. He boasted about how his Lady Dawn trusted him with her best friend and played Cupid for them with a warning never to hurt her friend.
Eelk literally smirked at me smugly with his chest out proudly and his eyes glittering like a fake wise man.
That day, I killed him in my mind countless times. Heck, he only got back to his normal submissive self only when he suffered good punishment at work for several days.
"She is still not talking to me but she is not avoiding me anymore. I can tell she is enjoying the courtship silently. Majesty, soon when the time comes for me to marry her, I hope you can accept my transfer letter at that time. I would like to stay here in this world with my future wife, children, grandchildren and their children happily ever after. I will work for you from here." I saw the same look he is giving me in a channel called national geography and it was on the face of a baby monkey.
"Let's talk about it at that time. Tell me, you spent a weekend with her in another city and her heart has a change about you? How?"
"Tsk tsk, Majesty, you still did not realize it yet? You have to grovel the path she walked in to win her favor. Women are high and might when it comes to heart games. I let down my pride and ego and only focused on my love for her." Let down pride and ego?
"Majesty, actually, I watched a Korean drama called 'The liar and his lover'. For more information on groveling, you should watch that drama. The male lead in the drama is as dim witted as you ar-" I shot a murderous glare at him and he suddenly stopped what he was saying and took a minute to improvise it awkwardly. "- I mean, he is a dim witted like us; like us all, like all the men in the world."
He coughed a couple of times and went straight towards television to mark the said drama on a watch next list.
"So you say, according to you, what should I do next to get her attention?" I swallowed my anger and asked Eelk, putting my pride aside.
"If you don't see each other frequently, that is hard to say." Okay, point noted. But she hates to see me. How can I go before her and still manage to gain her attention in a positive way?
"Ah, right, Majesty I forgot to inform you." Azar suddenly clapped his hands. "Young Prince is going on a school trip in few days. Since Lady Dawn is away with work, Mr. and Mrs. Winters signed the confirmation form for him."
"Where are they going?"
"There's a water park for children in the east end of the city. They will leave in the early hours of morning and get back by night." Azar reported.
"Hmm, send a couple of our men to protect him secretly."
"Already done sir. I will keep tabs on the prince, don't worry, Majesty." I nodded with a heavy expression.
"Alright let's start this drama that Eelk suggested. Maybe, I can come up with a better idea." And so, I spent the next two days binge watching a couple of dramas that Eelk suggested and when I say that I can write a whole book on groveling, that is definitely not an exaggeration.
"How do I look?" I corrected my collar and fixed the tie before standing before my three subordinates waiting for their opinion.
"Uh, handsome and mind blowing like usual." The three said in unison.
"Do you think I will make an impression on her?"
"Is 'her' a business client or associate?" Eelk asked folding his hands over his chest.
"No. I'm talking about your Queen."
"Oh, then are you going to talk about business with her? Is it a professional meet?" Following Eelk, Azar inquired as he sized me up and down.
"It was a - groveling meet. I'm going to meet her to shed all my pride and create opportunities to win her over." Isn't it obvious?
I have been planning this for a day now and I also told them about my plans, didn't I? Why are they acting clueless now?
"Then why are you dressed like someone who is preparing to attend a business workshop, Majesty. A three piece suit is the least recommended costume for groveling purposes."
"That's right, dress comfortably like a 'guy next door' type."
"Just a shirt and jeans would do and clean off the gel on the hair. The best hairdo for a guy next door is bed hair that flutters with wind."
"Sneakers are a must. Nothing can beat a natural look, that too when the person is blessed with blinding beauty."
"Put away the tie and open the first button on the shirt."
"Drive jeep for today."
"You have to take care of people around her first before targeting her. If there is support from around, even she cannot reject you openly."
"Behave as if you are being nice to everyone. Showing more attention to her alone with piss her off."
"Pretend that she is only a business client and nothing more."
"Play coquettish but in a decent manner as if you are doing it unintentionally."
"Majesty, from my experience, the best way to gain attention is not to seek it actively and obviously."
The three went one after the other for an hour with their opinions and advices. They did not even do that respectfully. They are treating me as if I am their friend which ticked me off.
If it wasn't for my oath to be in pleasant mood for the whole day come what may, I would've spanked their back with wooden planks.
Nonetheless, I took their suggestions and changed into comfortable clothes, giving out a next door guy vibe.
With a gentle smile on my face I appeared before them again but this time, they looked at me and suddenly fainted one after the other.
I had to slap them hard to wake them up and when they woke up, the three were so scared of me that it got me baffled.
"Umm, Majesty, can you please not smile so gently? It's so creepy."
Today will be Eelk's last day in this life!
