The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

Chapter 43 - THE WULF IS AWAKE



WULFRIC opened his eyes and saw a very familiar ceiling. He turned his head and then saw a very familiar room. He knew this place. He knew it like the back of his hand. He abruptly sat up when he realized where he was.

This was his room in the Beowulf!

He looked around and confirmed once again that he was indeed in his room. Why was he here? He was just sitting at the drawing of Aster's house when- wait- that's right! He was at Aster's house. So, how did he suddenly end up here?

He closed his eyes and tried to remember. As the fog in his brain slowly cleared up, he finally remembered how he suddenly felt drowsy and then lost consciousness. His brain suddenly made up thousand of scenarios. Did he experience some kind of mental attack? Was it someone's ability? Did one of his many enemies discover his location and attacked him?

If that was the case, then how about Aster and his family? Were they okay?

At the thought of that, he quickly got up. He was only thinking of how to get back to planet Delryria to save that black-haired teenager. As he did, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Your Highness, the monitor said that you're awake. Can I come in?" asked his lieutenant's voice.

It was indeed Leland. It's been an hour since Hildred and Edmund came back with the sleeping prince. The two said that they couldn't wake the prince up no matter how much they shook his shoulder. So, he was quickly taken to the ship's medical bay. Their squad's doctor did a full body check but found nothing wrong. The prince was simply sleeping.

That's why they couldn't do anything else but bring him back to his room. At least, he would be more comfortable there than in the medical bay. But they turned on the monitoring so they would know immediately when he woke up. Leland had been looking at that monitoring. That's why the moment he saw the prince waking up, he quickly ran towards here.

He didn't hear the prince replying. But the sliding door suddenly opened and the prince was standing there with a hurried look on his face. As if he was worried about something.

"Your Highness?"

"Prepare a shuttle, I will go back to Delryria."

Leland thought that he must have heard it wrong. Why did the prince suddenly want to go back there? When the prince was about to pass by him, he immediately stood in front of him to stop his tracks. Because he clearly saw the prince's expression. Leland didn't hear it wrong. The prince was serious. He really planned to go back to Delryria.

"Please, wait, Your Highness. Is there a reason for you to go back there?"

"There's a reason!" Wulfric said, completely annoyed. Why was Leland stopping him? "I needed to make sure that he's alright. So, go and prepare a shuttle."

'He'? Who was the prince talking about? Then Leland suddenly remembered what Edmund had reported to him. About the black-haired teenager that the prince showed interest in. Was he talking about him? Using the process of elimination, it seemed that that was indeed the case.

"Your Highness, please calm down," he first said. "If you're referring to the black-haired boy you meet at planet Delryria, then he's fine. According to Hildred and Edmund's reports, he was completely fine when the three of you left the planet. So, can Your Highness please calm down first?"

Wulfric felt that the tightness of his nerves was suddenly loosened after hearing that. After was fine. That's good. Then he stopped. If he was fine, wouldn't that mean that there was no attack like he thought? Wait- if there really was, then Leland would have already reported that by now. So, what, he just lost consciousness for no reason?

At that, he finally was able to calm down and be clear-headed.

"Tell me everything that Hil and Ed reported," he said before walking back inside his room.

Leland finally let out a sigh of relief seeing that the prince was now back to normal. But at the same time, he was also quite surprised. Because the reaction the prince had shown earlier was simply not like him at all. It seemed that the interest he had on that boy was much stronger than he thought.

He followed inside and the door automatically closed.

"According to Edmund, when Your Highness entered the drawing room of the house you were in earlier, you suddenly fell asleep. Your Highness slept until Hildred arrived. And then the two took you back here. That had been an hour ago. If we total everything, Your Highness slept for six hours."

Six hours? Wulfric's pupils shook when he heard that. He slept for six hours despite not knowing how he ended up falling asleep. How the fuck did that happen?

He remembered what he felt before he lost consciousness. It's just a general feeling of drowsiness. But it came out of nowhere. He didn't even feel a bit sleepy up to that point. His expression couldn't help but turned ugly.

"Did you do a full-body check up on me?" he asked, his voice as cold as ice.

"Yes, Your Highness. We didn't find any trace of drug or anything foreign. There was also no evidence that someone had used their ability on you. All the results pointed to the fact that Your Highness had fallen asleep naturally."

Wulfric furrowed his brows. He didn't doubt what Leland said. Because the equipment in their medical bay was the most advanced medical equipment out there. So, if the result said that he fell asleep naturally, then there's a 99.9% chance that that was indeed the case.

But how was that even possible? How could that abrupt drowsiness be natural?

"Call Ed over," he said. He needed to get to the bottom of this.
