The king was completely angry from the minister and the minister was still on his arrogance and rage. He was looking at the people having their breakfast and for him everyone looked like an ant and he was thinking that he has all the power he wants to do anything, and hating everything and finding mistake at everything at the restaurant. The King was becoming more angry by his face of ego and frustration and he said with anger, "You really need a punishment, don't you?"
The minister laughed creepily, looking at the soldier thinking that he is scolding to him but the soldier was confused, but he didn't try to become like him either and he just looked away and started looking at the people and outside the windows, the roads were still clear. The King looked at the minister, now he realized that even on that minister is thinking that he is scolding to the soldier not to him and it was enough for him now. "I am saying to you, stop laughing and looking at our soldier, I will punish you not him."
And the minister was left frozen...but he just sighed, looked down and kept his hands down and finally said what he always wanted to say, "Do you know what...you old man, it's enough now... now you should leave the throne and just die...it's all a waste of time for you, you don't even know how to even run the empire properly like others do..." The King and the soldier were speechless, what he was even saying...the minister looked at the King with tears in his eyes but also having a bright smile on his face and he continued, "It's...now your time to leave...just die, King..."
And a stab low voice appeared, and the soldier panicked and looked below the table...and he was stunned, confused but also surprised and smiled with a sweat...
Nothing actually happened to the King, and the King himself looked down...and I stopped the stab by a bottle of ketchup and I was standing next to the King, smiling like nothing had actually happened and I remain on my job and asked them, "What order will you choose, what do you want to eat sir?"
The King looked at me and the soldier was giggling, he didn't understand that even after so much happened, then still I am so calm and continuing like it was, I didn't act on the sudden attack and didn't shout either, I just blocked the attack and continued. The minister looked at the shocked King and then at me and I finally showed the ketchup and said, "And, please will you pay for the loses as well? Not sure ketchup is here available or not and it will be a little loss of the actual owner, well it will be a very little because I can pay that on my own but you have done it, so please also pay for the ketchup."
And the soldier and the King couldn't hold anymore, they both started laughing, not understanding what kind of guy I even am. The minister was speechless, because his whole plan was spoiled in just a matter of seconds, he became completely angry and stood with a panic and threw the knife towards me-- but I just stopped it by my fingers, the King and the soldier were stunned, and I finally looked at all of three and seriously said, "People are here...let him enjoy and have their meals, and the owners are my friends, so if anything happened which affects at their name...I swear, I won't leave you."
And by my voice and seriousness, even the King and the soldier started fearing and sweating, now afraid of me and I kept the knife on the table and the minister was stunned for a moment...but he realized that he has already failed at his mission, he will be eliminated anyways and executed in front of everyone, so he took the last chance and shouted to at least spoil the name of Sea and Leo, "You have a tongue--"
But now the soldier interfered and he attacked at the minister's nape and he fell unconscious in just a second and I looked at the soldier and bowed down, "Thanks for helping."
"No problem, I am happy and thankful from you that you saved--"
"Uhm! Uhm!" But the King still doesn't wanted to be exposed, and the soldier smiled with a sweat and apologized. I kept the menu in front of the King and the soldier and I suddenly heard a call of Leo of another dish and walked away and the King and the soldier started looking at the menu and they couldn't stop and they just laughed.
"...He's so strange...who is that boy, is this how the people of this country are?"
"Well, not related to the country's people." And King and the soldier were left shocked, and the looked at side and I was standing next to them again and they couldn't believe that I reacted so quickly and am standing next to him again. The King pointed at me and with hesitation asked, "You, you were gone to serve someone else, didn't you?"
"I have served them and came back quickly." And they were more shocked, but I had a reason to come to them quickly and I took out a piece of note,, moved my hand once and handed it to the soldier and the soldier started reading and I started walking away and said, "That was only what I wanted to tell, you have enough time to decide what to choose to eat and just call me when you had decided. That's all."
I walked back to the reception and started waiting for the orders and calls of Leo and Sea and looked at Eve and she was looking at the records and we both just started talking while having no work.
The soldier was shocked by reading the note, and he started sweating...he had to stand and the King didn't understand what is happening. He stopped the soldier and asked with curiosity that what what is even happening, but the soldier couldn't tell until it is confirmed that it is true, and that was only what he said and the King let him go and the soldier came out at the empty roads and whistled and a bird came flying and it took the note and started flying away.
The minister opened his eyes...and his hands were locked, he looked ahead...and the King and the soldiers were standing around him and pointing their guns at their head. It was evening and the whole gang was moving at North and the King, the minister and the soldiers were at the royal horse cart and the elephant was moving at front with his best friend. The minister was speechless, but he just looked down and laughed, "So you still think...that it's your victory...? Even if you kill me...you will be hunted down one day, by your own companions."
The King smiled, "...Companions, you mean ministers who were with you in the plan? No, now there will be no such thing like ministers. I will take care of everything, don't worry."
And the minister was speechless, shocked...and he finally looked around, and all the ministers were captured, even the wise one, and the guns weren't just on him, the guns were pointing at all of them and they all were unconscious and were beaten so worse that some lost their tooth while some lost their jaw bones. He was lucky that he didn't had to face...but it's not so far, he will also face the same fate...and he realized, that everyone of them have failed this time and are hopeless now.
Eve was on my shoulders and we were exploring the town with Sea and Leo introducing each and every thing of the town. The restaurant was closed by afternoon because Leo and Sea wanted to show their town and they also didn't want to regret that we were there for a day but they couldn't treat us as close guest which was their view, but not of us. And after the work was done, Eve and I had no problem in fact Eve was actually curious and she wanted to explore so we also agreed.
But it was nice, that Sea and Leo wouldn't have even noticed the small plan of killing someone. The plan of the ministers were to kill the King and all the soldiers, so the rest one would be eliminated by the ministers who also chose to take rest, the wise one would kill three and the one moving with the King won't actually need to kill him, their plan was to even if they leave him, he will try to explain but the ministers were sure that the judiciary would believe in them by their fake tears and the soldier would be executed, and...I just informed that, and the info was gone straight to the soldiers taking rest and they already became alert and then they passed it to the three and they already made the wise one unconscious by punches when he also read it. And everything was gone under the plan, and the King gave a little bit of more money for the ketchup and I explained about it to Leo and Sea but they believed in him and took it...everything actually worked properly, and I was just glad by that.
"Do you want a bracelet, Eve?" Sea asked after stopping at a shop and Eve looked at it and Sea looked at me as well and said, "And you also look, Ichiro, you never had a bracelet, so you also look over it, maybe you like one...maybe it will also give us a clue of what will be the name of your love."
Sea was teasing me, Leo also looked at it and I could remember that he used to love it, but I never understand what's so fun in the jewellery for him. Eve started looking at it and picked up one and Sea also looked over it and Sea and Leo also choose it quickly and they had made their minds to buy which one...but they three looked at me, and I was still looking at it, and Sea and Leo smiled with a sweat, realizing...that I won't be interested much in those things--
But I picked up one, and looked at it...and Sea and Leo were left shocked. It was a simple bracelet with not much of the decoration, it didn't had letters or anything but it was just a chain in golden color. I chose that one and kept in front of the seller and said, "I want this one, how much would it cost?"
The seller looked at all four, sum up and said, "It would cost one hundred." And I took out a hundred and the seller started keeping it in the box. In all this time, Leo and Sea were just left shocked looking at me, couldn't believe that I would even have any interest in anyone of them. The seller kept all the four in front and Sea opened mine and she started sweating more, "It's simple... but I guess you like simple things only, but it's nice."
And Leo came to senses and ignored it and looked at the seller and asked, "And how much for Sea and mine?"
But the seller shook her head and said, "No, hundred was the sum up of all four. You four are moving together at the shop, right?"
I just took my and gave Eve's to her and Leo and Sea were left stunned...and Eve and I started moving ahead, but Leo looked at me with anger and shouted, "Hey! We don't want to go on a debt--"
"Come on, now we both make money so it's fine." I stopped and looked at him and said, "And if you still want to pay me back, then when we both come back here one day, pay us at that time. It will remind us that we have to meet again and this is not the goodbye."
Eve was surprised by the words so was Sea, Leo was left stunned but Sea just smiled and nodded her head, "Well then...that's fine, it's a promise that you both would come back to me one day again and as you said...this won't be the last goodbye. But you will have to maintain the promise, Ichiro."
I smiled and nodded my head, "Yes...I promise I won't break it..."
