King

"Nice to meet you King Trevo. My name is Wreck and I am the Chairman of the Mudland Union."

"Likewise Chairman. Let us all have a seat and we will serve you and your people food."

We all then moved towards our seats. I am seated right at the end of the long side. Right across me is Krod and right beside me is Mayor Wiro. The King took his seat at the edge.

Right off the bat, he seems like a kind person. I do not see any flaws in him yet but we are about to find out.

"So how was your trip Chairman? Is everything alright in your side?" The King asked.

"Oh yes. All of my men are all fine. We were able to travel fast and safely through our vehicles."

"Really? I might want to get one of those, but don't worry about this meal we won't be talking about politics yet. I just want to know more about you and your land. We can talk all about the agreements tomorrow."

Really? Thank god, I really do not want to have negotiations today due to travel fatigue.

"Sounds good to me."

"Alright then, while we talk we can also start eating. Krod, please serve the dishes."

"Of course, Your Majesty."

Krod then clapped twice and a line of maids carrying plates walks towards the table and served us our meals. The dishes feature a variety of food such as grilled pork, Boiled Chicken, Bread, and many more. They are all plated prettily which is what you would expect from a castle.

*Clears Throat"

"Now that we are having our meals Chairman, why don't you share some stories about yourself and your country." The King asked.

"No problem. As you already know, I am the chairman of the Union. I have a wife named Laur who is unfortunately not here due to her pregnancy."

"Really? Then congratulations in advance. You are going to be a father soon! It is kind of sad that I still do not have a queen but we do not talk about that. How did you form your country then?"

"Thanks! Well, the country that I established is actually a union of six different towns located at the 'Mudlands'."

I then told him the story about the unification process. He listened pretty well. So far, he really feels like a regular kind man rather than a vicious King that I imagined. Maybe I was just getting too stereotypical. Anyways as my storytime continued, the huge door opened. a young man wearing an armor comes in and approaches the king.

"Your Highness. Your Brother has returned after handling the Ring Group." The young man said.

"Right. Let us talk about that later shall we?" The King replied.

Ring Group?

"What is that Ring Group King Trevo?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just some small robbery group. Anyways this is my younger brother, Prince Veeto. He is the acting General ever since you captured General Brandon. Brother, this is our guest Chairman Wreck of the Mudland Union."

The Prince then walked towards me and reached out his hands.

"Nice to meet you, Chairman. I hope that your visit to our City will be successful."

"Likewise Prince Veeto," I replied as I accept his handshake.

This prince had some weird words, but what was that Ring Group thing? The King quickly dismissed the idea but if it is just a small group then why did the prince personally handled the situation? Anyways since it is their affairs I should stay out of it. I came here for negotiations and not knowing the criminals here.

The Prince took a seat beside Krod and join the meal. After that, the King and I continued our talks, or rather my storytelling. I talked about some of the ideas I implemented such as the road systems, the constitution, the terminals, and all of the ideas from the earth that I applied in the Union. The King seems really interested in those.

Just as our talks continued, the King suddenly screamed.

"WHAT IS THIS!!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!"

He pointed at the grilled pork at his plate. I do not see any problems at the food but Krod quickly called the Head Maid in.

"Feal! Who cooked this dish?!?!?!" The King asked while shouting.

"I-It was me, your highness...." The middle-aged maid replied.

"Then why is my meat burnt!!! Everybody knows that I hate burnt food!!!! Do you know how it could have affected me?!?!?!?!??!?!!"

Really? So he was mad because his meat was slightly burnt? Isn't that too petty? I guess royalties really are raised differently.

"I am sorry Your Highness!! I promise this won't happen ever again! I will serve you a better meal from now on!" The maid pleaded.

I looked at the King. Everybody was looking at the King. He is really furious. I wanted to laugh but I stopped myself because it will really ruin our purpose here, but seriously this event is way too ridiculous.

"No Feal. You won't be able to serve a single meal anymore."

"Y-your Hi-highness???"

"As of today, you will be removed as the Head Maid and you will be exiled in this City!" The King proclaimed.

What? Isn't that way too extreme? Just because of a lump of single burnt meat? This is really so ridiculous that even my body was about to intervene in the situation but Mayor Wiro held me and looked at me in the eye. Good thing he stopped, if not then I was about to do something bad.

"BROTHER!!!!!"

The prince who was silently just eating in his sit stood up and shouted. He then slowly walked towards the scene.

"Aren't you taking this way too far? If you had bad food then you could just ask for a replacement! No need to throw a fit and destroy someone's life!"

"Are you defying my presence Veeto?" King eerily proclaimed.

"No brother. What I am trying to say here is that you are way too impractical. Please reorganize your thoughts before you act."

"I refuse! My order is absolute! You better not defy my orders! Krod! Accompany me. I will be going to my room now. I just had a bad mood."

"Of course your majesty."

The King and his assistant then walked away. The prince then helped the Maid that was on the ground and told her.

"No need to worry. I will make sure you will be able to stay here."

"Th-Thank you so much, your highness..."

Prince Veeto then approached me.

"I apologize on behalf of my brother. He really throws a fit every time he notices something that is not 'perfect'. You may all finish your lunch and the servants will guide you to your rooms. Anyways, farewell Chairman. I still have a lot of things to do."

"No problem Prince Veeto. Goodbye."

"Farewell. We will meet again!"

He then walked away.

Well, that was a really weird event. A King just went wild because of burnt meat and the Prince prevented the situation to be even worse. I feel like the king has OCD or something. Those two might have some kind of rivalry in them. Their conversation really did not feel like they are on the same page. Anyways, let us finish up and head to our quarters.
