ALFRED:

 We reached the place, I thought it will be a basement or hidden underground something. But it's a huge castle. With huge gates, too many guards. We entered the place with scanning our id and our faces. It's more than the checking security in the airport. Then opened our cars and checked inside and under the cars. They checked our clothes, I think they searched for guns and bombs. But I was too innocent, not just for this, they were searching for cameras and cellphones too, they took my cellphone, and they found my spare cell phone, I always keep it for the urgent dangerous situation, but until this moment I don't believe how they found it! I was hiding it under my seat in a secret pocket.! Those men are not kidding at all, this might be dangerous more than my father described to me.

I followed my father steps, but I kept a gap between as, distance as he asked me to do. but my eyes stick on his shoes. We entered the place I was totally cemented in flabbergasted look. Too many elegant men. A huge round table. The special edition I think. It's not as I used to watch. And as my father said. The champions seat behind the players and too many guards surround the place. And a judge! Okay, this is weird.

My father and the others take a seat, but there's still an empty seat. In a less than a minute, all the audience and champions and even my father stand up to salute a man and the man was storming inside with egoistic pace and scary look. But he is so handsome, I can't see his full face, but I feel like I saw him before. I was standing far away from the table and his seat not in front of me, so until this moment I couldn't see him clearly. I think he is the legend.

They started the game at 12 pm sharply on time. Those men not kidding, this is not fun, the place was full of silence, everyone pays attention to the move, round after round and most of the men kicked out of the table. Until my father and the legend. And the last move. Both of them cemented for a minute hesitated before flipping the last card. And my father won. I didn't see the cards. But the judge announced my father as a winner. So I clapped with a gigantic giggle from ear to ear. I was stepping towards him to hug him. But I remembered what he said, especially that no one else clapped, everyone, gazed and zipped their mouths waiting for something, or maybe afraid to make a move. The man that was defeated by my father suddenly stand up and rounded his fist and hit the table with his both hands barking.

"What the hell! You defeated the legend! How you dare!" the legend hollered gazing at my father, he grinds on his teeth, my father was tugging his fingers, but he stayed calm, I guess they say the one who knows that he will die soon, he loses the feel of fears somehow.

"Um, it supposes to be a game, if you are not expecting the loss then why you make others play with you?" my father throws a sheepish smirk to the legend. Why was he teasing the legend? He knows the consequences of this!

"Um, courage! And slushy tongue! You are not scared of me right!" the legend howled scrunching his nose mumbling.

"To be honest I'm scared! I'm a normal person! But sooner or later I was going to die, so I did this for my family! " My father stood up explaining for the legend. Who was groaning and roaring as if he didn't hear what my father was saying to him? He sounds so harsh person, heartless!

"Shit! Zip your mouth! Or I will make your body full of holes with my bullets! You cheated right! Tell me that and I will forgive you! " The legend huffed bawling at my father.

"No! I'm not! I practiced a lot! And actually, I was the legend 20 years ago too, you could ask the champions about me!" my father blurt out widening his eyes.

"Then why you came back all of sudden! To take back your name again?" the legend asked my father in a stern tone.

"I told you! I did it for money! For my family! " My father informed the legend, and yes, he was not a liar, he was just trying to explain to him, but the legend acted like a deaf, hear no one except himself. Ignore the others bitterly.

At this moment I couldn't curb myself to do not go to my father and protect him. I rushed to him, but once I saw the man face, I plastered in my place, I stuttered. He gazed at me, and we looked at each other for more than 5 minutes. He didn't talk even with my father.

"Alfred! I told you to run away in situations like this! "My father hollered at me pulling me to his back.

I cleared my throat and then I came next to him, I bend my arms around my father shoulder "it's okay father, I came with you and I'm not getting out without you! Over my dead body " I throw the legend with a side glance, I said arrogantly stressing on every word I spit out of my mouth.

The legend walked away to sit on a chair, something looks so royal. I don't know but too many guards surrounded him with guns! I think he was the only one allowed for this, I guess now that this castle is his too. But too late, I don't know what to do. He puffed on his cigar. And pointed to my father to step closer to him. And I adhered to my father as well.

The legend furrowed his eyebrows to me.

" So how you will save your father from death, die instead of him?! " The legend smirked.

"No, I'll give you my virginity " I sighed staring at the ceiling spacing out. I guess he was not expecting what I said, he gazed at me in silent me. Then he cleared his throat and snapped to my face.

"In one condition! Marry me" the legend rubbed his chin furrowing his eyebrows to me

"Okay," I shrugged my shoulders with a little grin.

"Are you scared of me to this degree? Or you are afraid that I might kill your father in front of your eyes?" the legend narrowed his eyebrows in curiosity, but what was different that he didn't yell at me, he was talking to me with a very different tone. His looks give me strength, I feel safe, I don't know how! I wasn't even shivering like others.

"Not any " I glare at the legend.my father grabbed my hand at this moment, and he leaned his head to my ear "what are you doing son? Are you crazy! You don't have to do anything! "My father whispered to me. I patted my father's shoulders "I'm not doing this for your father " I giggled when I twirled my head back to the legend.

"Then why you accept my condition?" the legend raised his eyebrows.

"Because I dreamed of you " I smiled for too long. That I thought I was dreaming of him again. But no, all the situation was a fact, not illusions. He was the man of my dreams.
