Livi: Oh stop that, you are giving me goosebumps with your sweet words! *shudders*

Me: *fakes a glare at him* And you are annoying me, little boy!

Livi: *shock* Excuse me? *glares back* 'Little boy'?

Livi: Come here you little... *grabs me and tickles me*

Me: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

~ Chapter 2 The Sun King's Reaction ~

"I am...what?"

His face flickered from surprise to confusion. I'm a grown man? Her words were ridiculous. How could he possibly be a man when he was only fifteen?

He frowned at her in puzzlement, before a look of understanding crossed his face and he burst out in laughter. Nike and Neil gawked at him in shock.

"Hahaha! I can't believe you just said that! Nike, you-" He broke down into fits of laughter once again while smacking the bed repeatedly. He tried to calm himself down, but failed and laughed even harder.

"What's so funny?" Nike snapped. What silly thoughts were going through that mind of his? Didn't he know that she was speaking the truth? He was a freaking grown man!

"You-" he gasped in between his laughters. "-you're so naughty today! First, you touched me! And now this!"

"You could have said so earlier that you wanted me. I'm here for you forever." He winked at her. His lips curved into a sexy smile and Nike found herself becoming lost in him. No, get back to your senses. She shook her head vigorously to get herself focused on the situation. She was aware that her cheeks were a little pink for staring at his dazzling smile for too long.

Livi smiled wider at her, as if he knew what she was thinking. The pinkness on her cheeks turned to a rosy red color as she was embarrassed. She averted her eyes and stared at the floor instead.

"So, what do you want now?" He grinned at her and opened his arms wide. "Come and sit on my lap."

"HUH!? NOOO! You pervert!" She grabbed a pillow and smacked him hard. He caught it and tossed it to the side. Grabbing her wrists, he pulled her towards him and she landed right into his lap. She shrieked and tried to escape, but he wrapped his arms around her tightly.

"Let me go!" she exclaimed, her cheeks flaring red. He chuckled lightly at her expression. He was clearly enjoying himself at this moment.

Before he could continue further, a loud cough behind them interrupted their pleasant moment. They broke apart, or you could say, Nike broke away while Livi let out a frustrated sigh.

"Neil, can't you see we are busy?" Annoyance tinged in his voice.

Neil bowed and apologized. "I'm sorry, my Majesty, but you guys have to stop your pillow fight. My King, please, you need to see your own appearance." He gestured to a full-length mirror at the other side of the chamber. He seemed even more anxious than usual. Cold sweat was already forming on his forehead and his eyebrows were pinched in worry.

Why was he saying the same thing as Nike? Weren't they kidding with him?

Or did he really...

He got out of bed quickly at the same time when Nike shrieked at him. "Take the covers along with you!" He has completely forgotten that he was still naked. He took the covers and wrapped it around his lower body. And of course, he didn't forget to throw a gorgeous and knowing smile at the blushing princess.

And then he realized something weird.

"Why are you shorter than me?" He stared down at her, his mind going blank. He had just noticed their difference in height and he was taken aback. No way...

He rushed to the mirror and gripped the edges with his hands. His bewildered eyes stared into the mirror and he saw his own pair of midnight blue eyes reflected in it. Slowly, his eyes trailed down to his body. And sure enough, he didn't recognized himself.

"W-what? What is this!?" he yelped in horror. What happened to my body!?

Nike stood behind him with her arms folded and her eyebrows raised. "Do you believe my words now?" she huffed. She was still slightly annoyed by the fact that he actually laughed at her a while ago. However, it would definitely be unbelievable if you told a kid that they had grown into an adult overnight. She felt her annoyance dissipated immediately when she thought of that.

"How on earth did I become like this!?" He started panicking as he continued to stare into the mirror at his own reflection in disbelief. Nike reached out a hand towards him as she tried to calm him down.

"Is this really me because-"

He paused and squinted at his reflection. His panicked look was soon replaced with an amused expression.

"I actually look good," he finished.

His wife and servant shot him an incredulous look as they watched the handsome young man admired his looks in the mirror. She pulled back her hand that has stopped midway in the air when she wanted to calm him down.

Sheesh, she has worried for nothing. He was perfectly calm.

"Is this what I will look like in the future? Heh, my looks aren't bad." Nike couldn't resist rolling her eyes upon hearing his prattle. He looked extremely excited and satisfied that he looked devilishly handsome.

"Nike." He walked towards her. He wasn't bulky or skinny, he was attractively lean with nice muscles. He was taller than her by a few inches, her head reached his nose level.

Perfect for kissing. That thought flashed through her mind quickly, but it made her cheeks burnt. How could she think of such stuff? This wasn't like her.

"Having dirty thoughts, Nike?" he questioned her with a triumphant smug. "Do you mind sharing?"

Nike was jolted out of her thoughts and she glared at him to hide her embarrassment. She denied his words but it came out as a squeak from her mouth, indicating that she was thinking of the opposite. Livi laughed at her again and she ignored him.

A loud 'ahem' behind them stopped their bickering and turned to look at Neil, who looked slightly irritated that his presence was forgotten again. They both felt a little apologetic for their behaviour and flashed sheepish smiles at him.

He cleared his throat again. "Please stop your argument. We need to find out the cause for your Majesty's problem," he said firmly. All three paused and racked their brains hard for any possible reasons.

"Maybe puberty decided to hit me hard last night?" Livi suggested. The other two just threw him a ridiculous look. He shrugged his shoulders at them.

"Is this magic? Did anyone feed you something weird yesterday?" Nike asked him curiously. How else would it be possible for him to change so much overnight? Livi frowned as he thought back.

"AH! That's right!" Neil smacked a fist against his palm as a light bulb lit up in him. He seemed to have remembered something important.

"Remember the weird tea that Nike's sister made for you last night?"

"Oh, you mean the tea that tasted like mint? Yeah, I remembered. Why?" Livi replied curiously, his head cocked to the side.

"She said that it helps to reduce fatigue. I think it's called Lymon. Do you think that it had some effect on you and made you like this?"

Nike decided to interrupt them then. "What mint tea? Lymon tea tastes sweet." Her forehead wrinkled in a frown as she was lost in the conversation. She didn't know what they were talking about anymore.

Her words made Livi and Neil realize the possible cause for his appearance. They exchanged looks and Neil excused himself, saying that he would prepare breakfast and invite Nike's sister along. When he left, Livi turned to face his confused wife.

"Get dressed. We have a lot of questions to ask your sister."
