I'm The King
"Sir, the call is for you".
A young man, who sit on the floor stops his activity. He focuses on the screen. He sees a gentleman in panic face.
"Sir..." asked the artificial intelligent again.
"Answer it! I'm listening"
The man seems relief.
"Sir" he said. "The King want to meet you. Can I arrange some meeting for you, please?"
Linah answers in her female voice.
"Is the king hear me now?"
The lawyer look at to the king. "He is!"
"Good, Let me speak to His Highness King of Martea"
The lawyer approaches the king. He puts his phone on the table. He press the screen and a female hostage appear.
"Your Highness. It's nice to hear from you..."
The king stops Linah. He gets bored with lips services.
"I want to meet him" He said in high tone. "We have something to discuss"
"Really? What is it? We can discuss now, here"
"No!" the king insists "You know, even you have money. It doesn't mean you control me. I'm the king. You are at my place dear!"
The man in the somewhere suddenly stares at the other screen in the room. His alarm is ringing. Some is hijacking them. The line is not safe.
"How do you guarantee our safety?" asked Linah "Your people is trying to track me."
"I know. So? If you want me to stop, your master must agree with me!"
"You don't trust us. How do we trust you? Your Highness, why do you want to know me more than you should know?"
"I trust no body!" said the king. "As the royal family, my father told me not to trust anyone. Too many brothers want my throne. What do you say?"
Linah silent in moment waiting for her master respond. She just artificial intelligent, she decides nothing.
"Bolly, should I meet him?" said the unknown to his dog.
The dog seems doesn't response. It is artificial dogs with lots of wires inside. What do you expect?
After few minutes silent, Linah back to the line.
"Just between me and you" she said.
The king wins, he gets what he want. As a deal, he calls his staff to confirm.
"Stop now!"
"But, We almost there"
"I Told you Roger, stop now!"
"Oh one more" said the king. "Told the prime minister, he can get my head off if he insist to find out who Mr. Ghost is. It's royal family matter. He is not royal family. "
Call ends.
The king back to Linah.
"Tells him, I'm waiting for the detail"
Linah, quits for a moment. She need to check if the king doesn't lie. When her master give approval she continues.
"My master is not a special person. If you want to have a tea with him, you are welcomed. Just make sure, you go alone and do not use any king's attribute. We are not royal family. We don't get use to public attention.
We will send the car tomorrow. Please, let Mr. Qatar leave safely to bring the document"
The king smile in desperate.
"How I can trust you?"
"Do we ever lie?" said Linah. "Don't worry we will meet tomorrow. Please, let our lawyer home safely. Make sure no one hurt him"
Call ends.
Groups of people leave palace safely today. They use private jet parked some miles near the palace. None stops them.
"You trust them, again?"
The king ignores prime minister. He sit on his desk silently. In the next morning, maid enter his office bring a cup of tea and pastries for his breakfast. When he opens it, he finds a small card under his cup. He grabs it.
~Be a ghost~
Thinking about ghost, the king signs document this morning. Suddenly, a man enter the room to announce.
"The car was sent and ready for Your Highness"
The king stops for a while then continues his meeting. He repeats his word.
"Your highness, the your car is ready"
All attendants stare their king.
"Is the car safe?"
"Yes, we have checked it. They sent a very good car with anti-bullet window. A capable drivers and a beautiful personal assistance.
"Herold" calls the king
"Yes?"
"Go and find out who is this guy. You are the minister of general affair. I've no time to play with ghost"
Herold stuns. He has nothing to argue the king. He arises and walks away. The car bring him to somewhere.
After the meeting, the king gets another notes in his lunch plate.
"Let's begin"
He sees a lot foods on his table. Most of the looks fresh, colorful and delicious.
"Is there any agenda after lunch?"
"No Sir" his secretary replays.
"Good, I feel not good. The foods, please check the ingredient for me."
The women goes to call the chef. She backs with bad news.
"Your Highness, the chef added almond and oysters sauce. Did you feel ok?"
The king runs to the toilet. The chef feels guilty. He knows kings having some allergic, but it is not oysters or almond.
"Please, call the doctor" said the secretary to the maid.
She calls in hurry. The chef life is in danger. He prays harder than usual. Sweat drops from his neck to cover all of his body.
"It's ok. He is fine now." Said the doctor to all. "I've give him medicine for his stomached. He is a tough king"
"What should we do?" asked the secretary.
"Nothing, just let him sleep. It's more than enough. It's affect to his gastro vascular. And the food is okay. Don't blame him" said the doctor pointed the chef.
The chef reliefs at the moment. He can continue his life as an honor chef of palace.
"Now, please leave this mansion. I will be here to take care the king. It's his order"
