-----next morning-----
Aaron's POV
I scream while I wake up, covered in cold sweat as I have nightmares of that night when I was sexually assaulted. I see Aragorn rushing into my room after hearing my scream.
"Aaron? Are you okay?" I nod even though I feel like shit.
"Damn. You scared me just now. I thought someone was going to kill you." I teasingly boob him on the nose and he blush.
"Uh anyway, we are leaving in the afternoon at 3pm so you better meet Queen Lyria for the last time before we go back." I nod and he leave. I stare at the ceiling, the nightmare still playing in my mind and that feeling of wanting to puke coming back as I go to the washroom, spraying my face with cold water to make me feel more awake. I hear a banging sound and I watch in amusement as I see Yako placing some formal clothes on my bed.
"Aaron! You have to wear this- Aaron?! Where in the Reaper's sake did you go to?" I laugh as I hear Yako call me. Later, my door open and a very red-faced Yako come in. Realizing that I am still naked, I blush cherry red and quickly wrap a towel around my waist.
"Hey um Aaron. I was about to tell you to wear the formal clothes I put on the bed as I was told that there is a ceremony for you by Queen Lyria and she don't tolerate lateness. Also, she tell you to be prepared by 8 which is in 15 minutes time." I quickly get out of the bathroom and look at the clothes Yako give me. I smile at Yako and she walk out of the door. I take a good look at the outfit again and smile. I could tell this is made for me as there isn't any medal of honor on the right side of the coat and the cape looks so like the one Ciel wears when he is given the title of Earl in Black Butler (the military one. You get the idea). I quickly get dressed and rush to the throne room where Queen Lyria is waiting for me.
"Aaron." She smile and I bow, my head almost touching the floor.
"Rise, my friend." I stand and one of the young maid come forward and present a medal to the Queen. She gently take it out of its box and pins it on the right side of my military style coat.
"Aaron Eosphoros, you will be my part time diplomat for our kingdom. Do you accept?"
"I do."
"Then repeat after me. I, Aaron Eosphoros, swear to uphold the law of the fairy Kingdom that has been gratefully made for the kingdom and to maintain peace and prosperity for the kingdom. I swear to treat the citizens equally and to punish the wrong with actions that the Queen sees fit. I swear to protect the Queen against any harm that might come in her way and swear that will protect the kingdom from harm when the Queen need me to do so." I repeat the words and Queen Lyria smiles. She takes another object and I gasp as it is the Medal of Honor from the Fairy Kingdom.
"Aaron, I present you with the Medal of Honor, Upper Class. Do you accept?" I nod in acceptance and Queen Lyria pin it on my coat.
"Now I present you, citizens of Asterawin. Your Diplomat Aaron Eosphoros!" the citizens cheer as I walk up to the dais. Queen Lyria nod and step aside to let me address the citizens. I feel everyone's eyes on me and I feel nervous. I take a step back from the dais, close my eyes and take a few calming breaths before I walk up to the dais and open my eyes to address the citizens.
"Citizens of Asterawin, I, Aaron Eosporos, am your new Diplomat and I am honored to be one. I will do my best for the kingdom and I will not let you all down. I will fight for the peace and prosperity for the kingdom until my last breath. That is all, thank you." the citizens cheer even louder and I smile before Aragorn and Queen Lyria pull me in for a hug. I then let them both lead me to the Queen's chambers to prepare for the journey home.
-----back at the human kingdom-----
I report what happened in Asterawin to the General and he smile.
"Good job Aaron. As expected of you." I nod.
"However, it concerns me about the fact that the members of Xurenth using bold moves like this to lead us to the trap. I need to talk to the higher ups about this." I nod and turn to exit the room but I stop.
"When will you tell me about who I truly am?" I turn towards the General again while asking this and he shakes his head.
"I'm afraid that I can't tell you until the higher ups give the green light. By then, be weary of what the enemy say as you are in doubt about your true self and it will hinder your progress of your magic." I nod and turn to leave but he stop me.
"Congrats on becoming the Diplomat of Asterawin. Now I am sure that both side will gain peace from each other." I smile, indicating that I am happy and I leave the room.
-----meanwhile-----
"You loser! I should have known not to let you do this on your own!" a sickening crunch fills the jail as a man with wings kick the man in chains who is Number 2.
"I-I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please let me live! Please!" Number 2 plead but it's no use as the winged man keep on kicking Number 2 until another winged man yell at him to stop.
"Hump!" The first winged man harrumph as the second one tell him to stop and the second winged man injects something into Number 2.
"Goodnight, boy." Number 2 close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep that he couldn't wake up from.
