It wasn't Paralysis!!!

Edric informed in a strange and commanding voice, which almost felt like an evil voice. The whole group was extremely shocked by the sudden change in Edric's voice. They started staring at him, to demand an explanation from him.

What..?

Edric asked in his normal voice, with his usual composure.

You...r Voice was…

Alex was confused and inquired about the sudden change in Edric's voice.

Differ...e..n…t

Hiromi added on.

More like a dark…...voice...e

Gloria stated in a confused tone.

Yea...h right…

Edric tried to dodge the obvious concerns from his friends but his friends were not going to let him leave without an explanation.

We are serious Sebi…...

Gloria implied she was seriously worried about him.

Please tell us, what was that?

Hiromi urged Edric to explain the incident to them.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

Edric...

Alex hinted at his concern again.

It's nothing….

Edric continued in his charade and shifted his gaze to the corridor.

The corridor was just outside the classroom. Noticing Edric's intentions to escape, Gloria and Alex jumped in front of him.

You are not going anywhere unless you tell us everything.

Exclaimed both of them in unison.

I'm sorry but you know it's a family thing….

Eric indicated that it's something he can't talk about.

You can tell us we are your friends...

Alex inclined that it's fine to tell them about the strange voice.

Yeah, you can ….

Hiromi and Gloria insisted that he can share the issue with them.

No, I can't…...

Edric indicates that he wants to tell his friends but he can't.

Why because we are not royals…...

Alex inquired in a serious tone.

What!! where did that come from????

Edric was caught off guard by Alex's accusation.

Just... tell me is that the reason…...

Alex was convinced that it was the reason because out of every one of them only Edric was a royal. They were all best of friends but countless times Edric's clansmen have stopped Edric from interacting with the group.

No., that's not the reason... (after a pause) idiot.

Edric understood Alex's concern so he assured him by teasing him.

Oh… Mr. Royalty….

Gloria mocked him sarcastically.

Yeah… it's... forbidden.

Edric reassured the group by mentioning something even more shocking.

Forbidden!!!!!

Hiromi and Gloria screamed.

What do you mean it's forbidden??!!

Alex inquired in excitement.

Edric starts pulling up his shit.

What arr...e... you doing!!!

Gloria blushes and closes her eyes with her hands, although she also peaks a little from the space between her hands.

Hold your horses will ya...

Edric informs in embarrassment. Edric shows the embedded symbol that he has scared on his abdominal muscles. The scar shows the symbol of his royal family.

Who the fuck did that to you… tell me...!!!!

Alex demanded furiously.

I can't tell you idiot can't you see!!

Edric was shocked by Alex's stupidity once again.

He...y… Sebi is it….!!!!

Hiromi inquired.

The forbidden symbol of the royal families??!!!!!

Gloria informed the group angrily.

Edric nervously nods his head.
