feeling of his rages hitting him as he continued to mouth breathe.
He heard a loud gasp sound that sounded Highlander like along with Jiang’s voice speaking sounding shocked “Doctor his eyes have changed.”
Eric continued to mouth breathe while seeing nothing but whiteness in his eyesight as he heard Trevor’s voice speaking “Argh just what the computer was indicating and trying to tell me due to me feeling confused with the results. Jiang help him close his mouth and make him breathe through his nose now.”
Eric felt cloth cover his mouth along with forced to nose breathe through the tubes in them which he felt his angry feeling leaving him along with the whiteness going away leaving his eyesight clear to see Jiang had his hat covering his mouth who removed it to place it on top of his head along with helping him to a standing position which he didn’t protest to that.
He stared at Trevor feeling himself confused as the Doctor spoke while looking at him “The results indicate that your medical ailment doesn’t surface when you use the breathing device for breathing but it’ll come out when your mouth breathing so refrain from doing that and you won’t have to suffer from that.”
He exhaled a breath hearing Jiang’s voice speaking “Doctor, admit it that the medical ailment is nothing but great rages of anger that makes him lash out hurting people and it doesn’t matter who they are.”
He stiffened hearing Jiang’s words as Trevor he eyed spoke “Your Majesty? I need your permission to answer Jiang. I have a doctor/patient confidentially oath every medical personal has sworn to that oath and needs patient’s permission to talk to others not family about it.”
He looked at Jiang and felt his mind scanned and spoke words verbalized by the Highlander “Yes Jiang on what you said towards the doctor on my medical ailment. Except they make me become blind to seeing things as in seeing nothing but people who have the fear emotion as one color without any details seen which makes me lash out without warning. I also am aware that my eyes change states when I have that rage episode in control. Someone told me that when I’m in my angry state that I hate people with fear emotion hence me lashing out. Also I was told that a mind walker scanning my mind would stop the rage episode which has proven to be true.”
He paused to look at Trevor who didn’t appear to look surprised to his admission as he heard from Jiang “Ah I admit it having a family predecessor who had a connection to a guard belonging to the nation of Oceana while living in Americania who passed down details involving encounters with His Majesty back then.”
He stiffened hearing that admission from Jiang as Trevor he eyed spoke “Yah I know what the encounters are due to that several people connected to Oceana whether their guards or not have told family predecessors their encounters with His Majesty and that their very clearly detailed. Anyway nothing more can be done for His Majesty medically. I already took the liberty of getting His Majesty’s head measured by the internal scanner and have already transmitted the measurements to my brother who’ll make the head cover first as quickly as possible for him to get used to wearing it.”
He exhaled a breath through his mouth and eyed Jiang out of the corners of his eyes to see the Highlander looking at Trevor which his guard spoke “Argh should have realized that when the clothes appeared too small for His Majesty that the head cover mask his predecessor wore would be too small for him to wear or get on covering his head.”
He shifted to look at Trevor who spoke “I figured the same thing as well hence me doing that test in an attempt to get his head measured while medically scanning him for his loss of voice ability.”
He watched as Trevor left the hallway going into Medical Bay with the doors slamming behind the doctor while hearing ahem from Jiang.
He looked at Jiang who mentally spoke sounding in his mind “I took the liberty of asking the guards to keep the elevator doors shut giving us privacy for a bit. I warn you that as your personal guard I am wearing a radio device with an off switch that is transmitting my words when I have it on which are what all guards have on them. I also like the guards have a device in one of my ears for the guards to contact me when they want to talk to me about something and I doing the same.”
Eric frowned hearing that as Jiang continued talking “A predecessor of your titled position when he gave out his orders preferred it through Highlander version of word of mouth due to claims that our radio devices could be transmitted elsewhere along with claims that people who didn’t agree with his orders while eavesdropping could do sabotage to him. He passed down this to his successor who wasn’t his offspring but an offspring of a family member due to not having males to carry on the position which has happened already.”
Eric continued to frown as Jiang spoke out loud verbalizing his words “Everything is fine now I was just giving some information to His Majesty on the position at his asking. Yes we’re going to his quarters so open the elevator doors.”
He heard them open behind him and heard nothing from Jiang which he walked inside sensing the Highlander following him and felt the thing move going to his quarters’ floor he assumed which he saw his hunch correct. He followed Jiang out to his quarters and once inside went to the couch to sit and spied on the wall flat screened rectangular TV monitors about six of them which he saw five were small sized surrounding a large oversized monitor on the wall.
He eyed it and then looked for Jiang to find the Highlander off his right standing next to the couch which he mentally spoke while staring at the male feeling his mind scanned “How do you turn the TV monitors on anyway?”
He got handed a device from Jiang picking it up from the small see through square table in front of the couch and instructed on how to use it dubbed a remote to turn on the TV monitors along with getting them to flash various scenes on the biggest TV from smaller monitors and how to get the scene to focus on a subject he wanted to view. He obeyed and turned on the TVs using the remote control clicking through various scenes showing life in the city along with life in some of the buildings he had to ask Jiang what they were doing. He got told various answers such as of directing traffic when he noticed a uniformed Highlander standing in the middle of the road waving his white gloved hands towards vehicles that were lumbering on the streets seeing some stop for the traffic cop’s gesture and some move at his gesture while keeping on doing it. He also got told of a school seeing people looking young as his children to him seated in desks he’s told while staring at an adult female of the Akylah species writing on the board and the students raising their hands before lowering them and one of them appearing to be talking which the scene happened repeatedly over and over.
Eric continued to pester Jiang questions about what he was seeing till the Highlander spoke loudly “Its night time now. You should be going to bed and sleeping.”
He saw the Highlander point in a direction and looked to see windows showing darkness behind them and without a protest turned off the TV monitors with his remote and got up going into his bedroom shutting the door behind him. He exhaled a breath feeling the clothes felt confining to him stripped himself of them and put them away messy like in the dresser’s drawer then put on his pajama pants hooking the breathing device to it then glared at the lamp opposite from him.
He mentally thought “Argh I better tell the guards to keep that lamp shut off due to that I don’t need it anyway.”
He went around the bed to the lamp shutting it off then and eyed the bed to see it still was made with a blanket covering it. Eric frowned recalling himself leaving it unmade after getting up in the morning which he figured a guard made it for him. He rubbed a hand on his forehead and then lowered the hand to stare at it finding it bare and frowned feeling himself missing his gloves.
He mentally thought to himself “Do hope Trevor’s brother hurries with the clothes making for I miss my gloves. I think it’ll be nice to wear clothes that aren’t too confining to me anyway their beginning to not be comfortable.”
He exhaled a breath and got into the
bed then rolled over to the lighted lamp’s side and reached towards the lamp turning it off plunging the room into darkness with night vision in his eyesight which he laid on his back staring at the ceiling.
He shut his eyes and passed out unconscious only to come to hearing Jiang’s voice sounding in his mind “Its time for you to get up for its morning.”
He jerked open his eyes and glared at Jiang peering from the open door who shut it closed seeing him up awake. He rubbed hands on his forehead along with running them through his hair yanking them at the strains feeling himself not well rested. He got up and stripped himself of the pajama pants dumping them into the drawer and eyed the Sun Lord clothes with distaste running through him after clipping the breathing device on. Eric yanked the clothes out and put them on finding that they were still confining as ever along with the shoes feeling flimsy and not what he had in mind to wear on his feet. He stomped out of the bedroom slamming the door open and went to the dining table which he ate his food feeling himself hungry along with gulping down the drink.
He once done got up to hear from Jiang “Ah one thing Your Majesty. Here put this on.”
He gave the Highlander a glare to see he held a piece of
