chapter 22: splitting

(Xf and six hallway)

Walking to the hallways opening doors after doors yet no sign of the king and stumbling upon one door, opening it they find.

(The kitchen)

"Uhh..is the king here?" Six looks around the kitchen as chefs and servants turn to look at them, with a hopeful look on the chef he ask "no.. But..? Are you the new cook? Are they the new cook sixth knight.?" The chef replies, his hopeful gaze never left his face
"Uhh no I don't think so.. We were here to find the king.."
Six said earning a sad look from the chef

"ah.. Knight six. We really need a replacement, if we don't then the food will never be on time for the nights feast" the chef sadly stated needing the two desperately, six and Xf can see a bit of fear under that sad look.

"Well if X is okay with it then.." Six turns towards Xf"oh.. Oh! Ofc.. Anything to help." The chefs eyes lighten up as the other cooks cheers,the chelf walked up to the two squeezing their hand reassuringly

"thank u.. Thank u so much. Without you this nights feast wouldn't happen.. Please.. The aprons is over there and I will explain what to do.."six and Xf looks at each other nodding then helping the chefs.

(Meanwhile, SF and nine)

They walked through the hallway. Nine leads as SF trails behind, opening a door nine looks at sf.

"hey bro why so quiet?" Nine asked checking the room, sf watches "oh. Uh.. Sorry" nine comes out of the room "not here, also don't say sorry it's fine" "ah.. Sor-" sf covers their own mouth, hearing a laugh coming from nines mouth "pfft. Your funny.".

They kept walking through the hallway opening different doors, nine was rambling about six and seven and sf stays quiet "like six doesn't even know the word radical can u believe that! And your friend seven. Ughh so mean. Like what's with that sassy attitude. They both can never know my coolness or understand how cool I am" nine turns towards sf "hey am I cool?" Sf blinks and blinks again tilting their head "oh. Uh.. Ofc your cool.."

Nine raises an eyebrow "then what do I do to make them know that I'm cool" sf looks away then back to nine "maybe.. You need to show them how cool you are.?" "Like what?" "Uhm.. Like... Finding the king... First?" Nine thought about, a smile crawls up to their face "ofc! Why didn't I think of that.!" Nine grabs sf's shoulders "cmon pal we are gonna find the king first! And show them how cool I really am! I mean.. Also you ig" Nine grabs sf's hand running towards door after door. "Ahhhhh" sf shouts as nine runs with a high speed running through halls and opening doors each stop

(Meanwhile seven 'seven's pov')

I walked around the hallway scanning each room I sigh to myself "it's nice being alone" it's not. I mean it's also nice having friends, not with idiots. Groaning I find myself on a garden part "geez how many gardens is in this castle" I heard something and went to check it out

"Oh! What brings you here?" Ask the British number raising their teacup and with a wave they invite me to the table with other numbers. I walked up to them sitting on one of the chairs.

"what's your name?" Asked the number without arms "uh.. Seven" the red-ish number looked at me examining "my name is three" three points at the number without arms "that is one and.. Two is the green number" "hellow" two said handing me a tea cup and one pouring tea on the cup they don't really need to tell me their names. I already know them.

"So... What brings you here to the castle gardens?" Two asked, I looked at them drinking a cup of tea before answering "I'm trying to find the king" two raises a brow drinking their tea "well. The king has their way somewhere around the castle. It might be a hassle to find them especially from how big this castle is." Two said sighing, I looked at my reflection on the tea.
