29: Like Father Like Son

Twenty-Eight: Like Father Like Son

During the Library visit

Kakashin steps into the tenebrific hallway from his transportation spell. The castle's interior surrounds him with stone and torches as he speeds off to the meeting room in a casual manner.

Yamato walks up beside him with Reina and Sosen following behind like a couple of obedient children. "Do you think he'll notice?" Yamato remains looking forward as he makes sure that their scheme is going as planned.

"That's why we're taking precautionary measures, in case he does." Kakashin keeps his professional character on. "He's clever and smart, not to mention his experienced with everything we've been hiding so far. The worst action we can take is one with fear and doubt." His feet then march ahead with a quicker pace. A glimmer of perseverance from his eyes expose his strong will. "I will end this." Once they all reach the entry doors to the room, Kakashin grabs the handle and turns to the others. "Reina, Sosen, you two stay here and wait for Yamato and I while we attend the meeting." He then straightens out and takes a deep breath. The doors open and everyone in the room jumps from their seat to stand in honor of him. Kakashin spots the backside of Kyyu, his sister, and lets his eyes widen a bit from the surprise. He then switches back to his stern personality. Like the prince he is, Kakashin steps in and attends his seat.

Yamato pulls the chair out from the long table for the prince of the universe to take his seat.

"Thank you." Kakashin steps in between the chair and table to await his father's arrival.

Yamato rushes over to the doors across from where they came and peeks on the other side to murmur a few things. His head comes out and he freezes in a vertical position. "Remain standing in honor of his majesty until he has told you otherwise."

From the same doors that Yamato was whispering through, Vensen walks in with his usual attire. His bare feet carry him up the short stairs that make squares surrounding his throne and he finally gets to the moment when he rests himself on his symbol of authority. "You may sit," he says with a bored attitude.

Everyone at the table sits as told.

Vensen peers at his son with his demonic, yet calm eyes. "What took you so long, Kakashin? You're never late."

Without turning his head, Kakashin stares back to his father with his similar red eyes. "You had Yamato cook some stew; remember? I couldn't let it all go to waste, and then Kaif needed some help in the library."

The old and wise eyes of Vensen look to the ceiling in hopes of recalling the action. He speaks lethargically, "Ah yes, I forgot about that. My apologies, Yamato, I didn't take that into account when I changed the agenda."

"It's alright, Sir." Yamato stays standing at the door where he announced his master's entry.

"Now then," Vensen shifts in his seat to be more presentable, "Let us start with the reason for this gathering. Someone among you is planning a revolution against the system that I've created for you all."

All servants and Stuki members alike subtly search the room for any potential traders. Kakashin and Yamato do the same as to not stick out of the crowd. Inside, however, they slightly tense up from Vensen's sudden knowledge. They were expecting this, so no harm done, yet.

Kakashin glances at Yamato for a signal of unity and then to Kyyu but receives nothing from her.

"Have no fear my children." Vensen grasps their attention again. "He is already on the loose away from us. His name is Sommi, and he has a girl with him by the name of Vila."
