Chapter 85

**Tzalmon Saccius Ebernus Point of View**

For everyone, a morning brings new rays of hope but for me, the darkness was so deeply embedded in me that now no ray of hope was able to touch the chill of darkness.

What King?

What God?

I realized, nothing was able to stop her from leaving. No power of mine could lure her to stay; no action of mine was able to change her mind and heart.

But now, I know, I understand and I realize.

How did everything end up in this way? How did I end up here like this!

"Just a mere woman and you dare to speak in that tone with me? Impudent!"

"A mere woman? Did this as* didn't want to keep his testicles? Did he say 'a mere woman'?"

Not again!

With a new ache crashing inside my head, I turned back to see the person who was being bashed by 'a mere woman' he so pompously called.

With a sigh, I noticed a group of young ladies, some wearing nothing but tight corsets and some wearing strange clothes that men wear, that I came to know as three piece suits. The five young ladies are now raging in absolute fury as they looked at the man before them.

No matter how many times I saw the strange and improper clothing styles of women here, I couldn't wrap my head with their presumptuous behavior.

Only, I learnt never to talk or question about it or I shall be going through the same treatment that the man before them was going through.

"Say, should we beat him to pulp or just hand over him to the authorities?" One of the ladies in the group who was wearing the shortest clothes spoke with a scowl.

"Hmph, such a brave tone you are using here. You, women, who should be in the house and taking care of your family and children, not only did you look so shameless, you also want to hit me for speaking the fact? What a world I have come to." An undisguised disgust came over the man's face as he looked at the ladies with pure hatred.

Not long after those words left from his mouth, the ladies faces turned grave and dim. All the ladies stretched their hands into the bags they are caring on their shoulders and brought out something that caused only the man but also me to shiver in slight caution.

They did not wait for the man to respond before one lady sprayed something called a 'pepper spray' on the man's face and eyes. Two ladies brought out a small instrument called 'shock buzzer' and directly attacked him from both the sides of his torso.

Before he could react to the pepper spray and the shock buzzer, The last two ladies aimed a small gun towards the man's legs and shot him darts.

These are few things that women use for self defense here and when I saw the man wailing in unimaginable pain, I immediately walked towards them and stood behind him while facing the ladies who are torturing him.

The man who was being tortured by those few ladies, anyone with eyes and without eyes would feel immensely bad for him. His eyes are now covered with pepper water gone red, his body looked weak due to the constant attack from the shock buzzer and his legs, if it wasn't for his strong body, he wouldn't be able to stand on those two limbs at this moment.

Even though he was being looked at like a villain, his painful cries could easily bring out pity from people. With a sigh, I walked over to the group and stood beside the tall strong man being assaulted by few petite and weak looking women.

"Young ladies here," I cleared my throat and spoke in my deep voice. The moment they heard me, they turned and looked at me and the moment their eyes fell on me, they went wide and stared at me in awe.

The ladies froze and gaped at me with unhindered admiration. Taking it as an advantage, I bowed a little to them politely with my hands behind me in a posture that is truly kingly.

"I apologize on behalf of my subordinate here. He has suffered due to a woman in the past so he had developed a bad opinion on all the womenfolk. Please forgive him and I shall teach him the needed lesson." With a small, almost negligible polite smile, I apologized to them.

They stared at me for few moments and then turned towards the man, with a final glare and angry grunts; they warned him to keep his mouth in check and walked away.

The moment the ladies walked away and seeing that the surroundings is now empty, he immediately got down on his knee and cried out, "I thank Majesty for his grace." He said as he rubbed his eyes trying to get his vision back.

"When are you going to learn to keep your attitude in check?" I asked coldly. His body stiffened and he immediately bowed down assuring me that he would work on it right away.

"But Majesty, those little women there are truly pompous. They have a gall to sneer at me when I asked them to cover themselves well."

"Gyles, how long are we here from?" I gritted, looking down at my commander.

"Four months, Your Majesty."

"And what did you learn in these few months in this new strange world?"

"I – understand, Majesty. I shall not bring any trouble to us anymore. I apologize for my irrational behavior just now."

"This is a world very different from ours. The rules the way of life and pace is totally different and to be honest very strange for us. We are here for a reason and before we accomplish it, it is better we do not stir up anymore trouble for ourselves." I reminded him coldly.

There was already enough trouble on our shoulders here and if we welcome anymore, it would be a dead end for us.

Four months...

It has been four months I and my people came to this strange world to find Eblilis and my son. The moment we stepped on this land, we invited nothing but troubles and problems for ourselves.

We speak, we get in trouble.

We don't speak, we still get into trouble.

We do something, we get into trouble.

We stand still, we still get into trouble.

On such a populous land, among these strange people, in a miraculous yet untamed era, we found ourselves surrounded by cruelty and kindness going hand in hand.

"What are going to do now, Majesty. We do not have funds to buy anything nor are we able to get ourselves some work to earn some. Azar failed not only to sense Lady Dawn, but he was unsuccessful get some work."

Massaging my forehead, I realized how problematic the situation is. Neither do we have what they call an 'identity card' nor do we have their standard education certifications. The qualification to find work is beyond hard, not to forget how no one consider me as a half God.

The first time I said I was a King and a half God, the people around used a box they called smartphone and called people from mental asylum and sent me to that atrocious place. For two days, I went through absolute abomination and hell. It was only after three days that my men came and got me out of that mad place in the shadows of night that I was able to take a breath of relief.

It was then I can to know that people here don't believe in magic at all and God is non-extinct to almost all of them.

I learnt not to talk about my rank or my position to people here anymore. The moment I was considered as a madman and was sent to that horrid place when mental people were treated, I learnt to keep my ego and attitude in check.

However, my troop did not learn it yet.

Four month on this planet, in this new world, we have been through several ups and downs and couldn't even find time or resources to find Eblilis and my son.

Such a vast place, where am I going to find them?

But before that, how are we going to live through today?

It was good that we found woods near the buzzing city and propped some tents to live in. However, earning money and food is not at all easy here. It was all for some kindness shown to us from few old people and kids that we were able to swallow some food inside.

What was more astonishing was, we who never had any need to consume food to live, started to feel something called 'hunger' right after we landed here.

Simple yet cruel things like hunger and thirst made our life a true nightmare.

I wonder...

Was this really the world she came from?

Was this the same world she is living in now?
