Orbisomn (Dreams Cannot Be Real)

Chapter 18

I heard the sound of the bell as the hot sunlight hit my face. I put my blanket to cover myself and sleep for a few minutes, but Verus knocked on my door.

"Lucy, wake up now. It's time for breakfast." I heard him saying but I didn't move. I don't want to wake up yet.

I heard him closed the door, but the ground suddenly shake.

"If you'll not gonna wake up, I'll break the floor and we'll see you at the ground floor. You want that?" He asked me.

I panicked so I quickly jumped out of my bed. "You're so mean, you know that?" I rolled my eyes.

"Because you're always waking up late!" He barely shouted.

"I don't like mornings, what's wrong with that?" I whispered to myself.

"You saying something?" Verus asked raising one of his eyebrow.

"Nothing! Let's eat!" I shouted at him and stormed out of the room.

I'm here at Orbisomn for almost a week already, and morning is the worst! Their day always start at four or five in the morning. Their clock is different, but atleast they also have twenty four hours in a day so I guess it's just the same. I can't sleep easily at night so it's hard for me to wake up early, but here I am. I'm trying my best to cope up with their noisiness in the morning.

"We'll depart tomorrow, right?" I excitedly asked Verus who's been walking quietly beside me.

"Yes." He plainly replied.

Finally! I can see other things beside this palace in the peak of a cliff. Maids served us a lot of food, but most of them are meat.

"Meat again? In the morning?" I asked. They always give me a lot of fried meat on breakfast, lunch or dinner.

"Why? You don't like meat?" Verus asked me back.

I tried picking the meat with a fork. It's drenched with a lot of oil.

"Gross! This is too unhealthy to eat." I said.

"Tell the maids what you want. They will give it to you right away." He said and eat the pork with no hesitation. I tried my best to hide my disgusting look.

"Do we have any loaf bread?" I asked.

"Yes." The maid answered.

"Give me some loaf bread, lettuce, tomato berries, and boiled chicken please." I said everything that I need.

"You don't like this, but you ordered chicken meat?" Verus asked while he hold his fork with the greasy pork.

"Boiled chicken is not as unhealthy as that pork drenched with oil. One more thing, I prefer light food on breakfast." I said.

"Your eating habit is different from the princess'." He commented.

"I can't help myself. I am an actress who keep my body on shape." I replied to him.

He sighed and looked at me, "Well, I guess it's alright. Since both of you have different lifestyle and behavior, we won't have much difficulty with your transformation and in our journey." Verus started eating again.

He's now answering me compare to my first time here. I remember, he always gave me a sharp look whenever I am trying to interrupt him while eating. He did say that Illia do not want to be disturbed while she's eating, and they all adapted her habit. Even some of her habit and behavior are being passed down to the people.

"Wait, we? Are we going to be with others here?" I asked.

"We can't travel if it is just the two of us, so yes. We'll have three more people in our group." He replied.
