was sleeping in bed, and lightly stroked the bandage that had been placed over the wound.
"So young and already so strong!" whispered the girl and stroked Nils` face with a touch of lightness.
At the slight touch, Nils grimaced a little, which made the girl smile. The girl bent down to Nils so that she could whisper the following words in his ear.
"Wake up! Wake up, my king!"
This lovely voice woke Nils and looked around the room sleepily until he saw the girl.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" He asked sleepily and couldn't suppress a yawn.
The girl giggled and answered.
"You're cute. Not even completely awake, but already asking requirements and questions. That's the way it is. That's how a king has to act." Said the girl.
"Me and the king? I'm not a king and I'm not aristocratic either! And now, damn it, tell me who you are and what you are doing here!", Nils said and there was a little anger in his voice.The smile on the girl's face grew wider and wider and she replied mischievously.
"As you wish, my King. My name is Lucy and I am here to enlighten you about your destiny. I come from a place that is very far away and yet so close! You will be king, even if you are not noble You will rule over a people that has existed since the beginning of time and that lives in secret. I promise you, all your longings and dreams, hopes and desires will come true. You wished you were thin and had a six- To have pack, like your friend Max. It can be fulfilled if you accept your destiny. As already said, all your wishes and dreams, hopes and longings can be fulfilled, but only if you become king. "Said Lucy and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Nils considered Lucy's suggestion, but he had a few questions left.
"How do I become king and over which people will I rule? How do you want to make all my wishes, longings and dreams come true. For example, I only told Max about the six-pack, how do you know about it and how." should I get it, because I can only get it through a healthy diet and a lot of exercise, right? ", asked Nils and looked at Lucy suspiciously.
Lucy just smiled her sly smile and replied mysteriously.
"I have my sources. To become king, all you have to do is nod, I'll do the rest!"
Nils still didn't seem satisfied with her answers and asked further:
"What do you care about and what kind of people are they that I should then rule over?" His voice now also resonated with impatience.
Lucy caught this undertone and answered.
"You have the right qualities to be king! You push for answers, that's good! Really, very good! I'll take care of the preparations for your coronation ceremony and you will get to know your people soon enough. So, you will be yours Assume destiny? ", Lucy asked the all-important question in the room.
Nils thought carefully about his answer, but when he had made up his mind, he nodded.
Lucy smiled mysteriously and leaned over to Nils.
"Good! This is a present for the future king. May you live forever and always be glorious!", She said and her lips fell on Nils'.
Nils was totally amazed at Lucy's reaction that he barely had time to return the kiss. After a short time Lucy broke away from Nils and then got up.
"See you soon, my King. I hope you are stronger and closer to your people when we meet next!", She said and left the room. Nils looked after her, completely puzzled, until a sudden and leaden drowsiness overcame him and he slipped into the land of dreams.
He was to learn that this kiss would change everything.End of the 5th chapter
