The King's Beloved

Author Macy Bae: Hi Beloved Readers!!!

Welcome to another session of the EXTRA chapter!!!

Have you all watched "The King's Beloved - Novel Teaser" video on Instagram, Facebook, or Youtube? XD If you haven't, watch it now! (See my social media accounts in Author's Notes for more info).

(Ps. Yes, I know, teaser videos should be made before a book is published not when its already in progress … but oh well, we decided to proceed for the sake of new readers to come and for everyone to enjoy <3 Next time we'll try to create one before publishing XD)

And again, all thanks to my beloved readers and friends who patiently supported and helped me out in creating this teaser video - Ynna_Brittania and Starr_Swan!!! <3 I love you both, thank you so much! T_T

Without further ado, let's start the extra chap! Today, we're doing another interview and we got some questions from the fans! (If you want to join in, please join my discord server or comment your questions for the characters! I'll add them on the next extra chaps XD)

For today's host, we have been granted an audience again by the great Granny - Queen of Hell! (author dreamygurl7968)

Audience: Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! (yes, it's a lot of claps because they're scared of granny XD)

Granny: Hmm … Nice! It seems the audience here have been trained to properly welcome the great me. And they have grown remarkably large! 1.6 million in total! Impressive! (slow claps)

Anyway, today we're going to discuss the teaser video of this book, The King's Beloved, and interview the whole cast about it! (evil grin)

Let us all welcome … Rania! Elliot! Luna! Zeid! and Calum! (gorgeously appears all at once at the center of the stage then walks towards the couch to sit)

Audience: (looking all blissful and may ascend to heaven anytime) Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! (Some are holding banners, posters, placards, even light sticks, shouting and whistling) (some even fainted and looked like dying)

Granny: (raises eyebrows to audience) Wow! It seems that you have all been deprived of stunningly handsome and beautiful faces. Well, I say try to survive until the end at least. 

Audience: (still looking blissful and clapping their hands) Clap! Clap! Clap!

Granny: Alright, stop! We're starting the interview now. (shakes her head and opens her card containing questions from readers) For our first question … this one is for Luna. A certain reader asks:

"How does it feel having one of the longest screen time huh, Luna?"

Pft! This is a nice question. (evil grin) You even have a voice over. So, Luna, what can you say about it?

Luna: Me? (surprised at first, but gets happy and looks shy afterwards) He he he he (grinning so much) I didn't even notice that I had the longest screen time. I'm so happy! It's all thanks to the prophecy, I guess? (giggles) 

Granny: Ohhh, the prophecy. Well, you're right. The story does have great prophecies and the one on the teaser is one of the most important ones. Thank you for your answer. Now, on to the next question … (flips pages) This one is for … wait, Ducis? He's not even here. (Sees a crew below the stage and points her finger to him) You! Call Ducis right now. We need him here.

Crew: (nervous) Y-Yes! (calls Ducis right away)

Ducis: (teleports at the center of the stage - half naked - he was wearing his sleeping robes and was about to take it off - his muscular upper body and silky white skin has been exposed for everyone to see! And those abs! XD 0////0) What the -! (flinches)

Ducis fans: (nosebleeds) (some died instantly) KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! 

- Daddy Ducis! 

- Please marry me!

- Oppa Ducis!

- Flora is dead but I'm here!

- I love you Daddy Ducis! 

(his fans went nuts) 

Ducis: Ugh! (grimaces and fixes his sleeping robe back, covering his body again) Who dares summon me when I'm about to take a bath?! (Very angry)

Granny: Pft! (evil grin) What a nice body. I should really keep you as a pet.

Ducis: You again! What do you want?

Granny: (sighs) A certain reader has a question for you. Well, I'll revive them all first before you answer. (revives the dead audience) Phew … I'm not getting paid enough for this. Seriously, every time I do an interview here, the audience dies. (shakes her head) I like seeing abs too, but if you like them so much, at least be strong enough not to die from it. Tsk! Tsk! These people … (clicks her tongue)

Ducis: (sighs) Fine, what is the question? Get on with it and I'm out of here.

Granny: So here's the question:

"Ducis you are one of the most important supporting characters even raising young Elliot. How does it feel knowing that you don't have any screen time? Did it sink in to you that Luna is actually more important than you after seeing the Teaser?"

(laughs hysterically) Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! This is a really great question! I wonder the same thing!

Ducis fans: (angry shouts and stares) NOOOOOOO!!!

- Justice for Ducis!

- Ducis deserves better than this!

- Ducis worked too hard to have his screen time taken by some flower fairy!

- Yeah! Add Ducis in the teaser! 

(their placards all shows #justiceforducis)

Luna fans: (got angry from the words that Ducis fans were saying) (they, too, had placards showing #LunaAllTheWay and #LunaNailedtIt words in it) 

- What are you all saying?

- What's so wrong with Luna being in there and Ducis not?

- Yeah! He doesn't fit in the teaser, why add him?

- He's not teaser material, deal with it!

Granny: Oh no! (evil grin) It seems that a war is starting. It's amazing how your fans behave like the two of you. Bickering with each other <3 (winks)

Luna: Ack! (taken aback) It's not my fault if he didn't get screen time. I'm not the one who wrote the storyboard!

Author Macy Bae: (hides in a corner nervously)

Ducis: (glares at the author but sighs afterwards and shakes his head) What foolishness is this? Ugh … I do not care if I'm included in the teaser or not. I have fans with or without it so I'm good. If that's all, I'm taking my leave. And DON'T you dare summon me again! (glares at the crews) I'll be taking a bath and I don't want my whole body exposed to everyone here, is-that-clear? (glares at author, too)

Author Macy Bae: (nods hysterically)

Ducis: (teleports back to Forbidden Chamber)

Ducis fans: Oh nooooooo~ Don't leave us Daddy Ducis! (cries)

Granny: Hmm … glad that's settled. Let's move on to the next question. (flips pages) Oooohh this is interesting. (eyes glitters) We have really great questions tonight. And this is even better. XD Ha ha ha ha!

Audience: (waits in anticipation) 

Granny: This one is for … Elliot, Zeid, and Calum (waggles eyebrows).

"How does it feel having your own screen time with Rania in the teaser video? Which do you think is the best?"

(evil grin) Let the ship war begin XD

RanElli fans: Obviously, it's Rania and Elliot's scene! He's the one in the cover, too! Elliot is best boi! He's the most handsome and powerful and kingly! So perfect and mysterious! (raises light sticks and placards with #RanElli in them)

ZeNia fans: Rania with Zeid is the best! He's the fiancé! The original! Rania only thought he's dead, that's why she's having Elliot now, duh! If she learns he's alive, I wonder where your Elliot will take you! He has TWO screen time with Rania as well! That just shows how important he is! (raises light sticks and placards with #ZeNia in them)

RanElli fans: Zeid should just move on like Rania did! Stop holding in the past! It will only cause another war with the Magi! Don't be selfish and start an attack with them! He obviously won't win even with his hired assassins!

ZeNia fans: He's rescuing Rania for goodness' sake! That just shows how much he loves her! He knows Rania is alive and is in the enemy's place! How can he just move on like that? Zeid is best boi! He's loyal and loves to the core!

(their argument and bickering continues. Meanwhile ...)

RaLlum fans: Uhhh … this ship has sunk a long time ago. (there's barely any of them left)

Elliot, Zeid and Callum: (looks at each other blankly)

Callum: (lost in thought about Rania and Azalea)

Zeid: (glares at Elliot) 'It's this man again … what relationship does he have with Rania? Why is he always with her? Rania is mine!'

Elliot: (glares at Zeid) 'Hmmm … so he's her ex-fiancé, huh?' (ponders for a bit)

Granny: Well, what do our male characters have to say?

Zeid and Callum: (still silently thinking and pondering all sorts of possibilities)

Elliot: (smirks) Heh. Well, I have Rania now, and I'm not intending to let her go. (then, moves closer to Rania and kisses her on the lips)

Rania: (surprised) Ah!

RanElli fans: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (some dies in sweetness overload)

Zeid and Callum: What the -! / How dare you-! (so angry)

Elliot: (smirks again and whispers to Rania) It seems I'll need to kidnap you this time. (then, lifts Rania like a princess and teleports with her)

Callum: Wait! You -! (teleports as well)

Zeid: Rania!!! (reaches out to her but she's gone)

Luna: Rania! Elliot! Wait for me! (teleports as well)

Granny: How dare these mortals leave ME alone?! (glares devilishly, dark aura surrounds her)

Author Macy Bae: (whispers to Granny)

Granny: (dark aura dies down) Huh?! We're overtime again? Oh, well, we don't have the cast anymore so let's leave it up for next time.

Thank you everyone for coming! (winks and teleports)

Zeid: (left alone on the stage) It seems … I'm really meant to be alone. (sad) T_T
