Chapter 19: The King & Country

Day after meeting the king and we wake up in our beautiful rooms.

As I had said before, yesterday we met the king once more (you remember we met him way back in Book 2 Chapter 17) and after a better look Eon told me he was a really handsome man - looked like the Prince bit older, some silver hair, no balding, silver beard, nice face but cruel looking eyes (the eyes are indeed the windows to the soul), slightly more muscular than the prince and had regal clothing - purple, red and gold, including the gold crown on his head - he also had regal airs and walked quite upright and straight.

The king had surprised us by not making war on us but welcomed us as his guests and gave us a feast fit for kings and then we were ushered into large rooms in the castle - each indeed fit for a king. We were told we could share or each get one room. I chose to share mine with Eon and uncle Sam shared his with Over-watch. While the rest each had one.

As we went to sleep that night each was deep in their own thoughts and I shared mine with the beautiful Eon, "What did these things mean? Were we still enemies or were we to be friends and most importantly; what would happen next?"

Eon responded, "I don't know but  let us keep our guard up," and she continued, "How can a man be so nice after we killed his son?"

I guess that night we would not have all the answers but if the guy did not poison our food, while we ate his sumptuous meal, then nothing could happen to us yet and we would probably know more the next day.

We surprisingly slept peacefully that night.

This night was impossible to sleep, I knew my nephew would be prepared for whatever was to come but how about the rest? So, Over-watch and I sneaked off the room and went from room to room talking to our commanders, the Watchers and Rose, and preparing them for anything that was to come.

After we were through we went back to our room.

As we sat there, we seemed to be so far in our own thoughts and I asked Over-watch, "What are you thinking about?" She replied, "I was thinking about the time we went off together and returned to the camp later the next day, that was the day I fell in love with you and after we are through with this, I want more."

"I hear you and we will work on that but now, we have to win," to which she just shook her head.

We got to bed and she cuddled closer to me and we immediately slept soundly.

So we wake up in our beautiful rooms and there is delicious breakfast waiting for us - definitely another surprise.

After the breakfast the king invites us to the coaches once more and we are thinking that we are being taken back to our camp near the city gate but we are taken on a more scenic tour of the city. The fauna is breathtaking. The flowers are unlike any we have seen so far. At around midday we have a sumptuous picnic and then we continue with the tour.

After the tour which we never wanted to end we are taken back to the castle for a great dinner and then once again to our rooms.

The next morning, the king calls us to his throne room and we sit - we notice things are different immediately.

"You people killed my one and only son and the only child I have, but...I am not mad at you," the king says and then holds his and up to show us to be quiet and allow him to finish, which we oblige him, "I have clearly shown you for the past two day that I am able to forgive and I am ready to be generous."

After allowing the words to sink in he says, "Instead of more deaths, why shouldn't we end this and I will reward each of you with great riches appreciated in your own worlds?"

"Allow me to go on with my business and it will make us all rich, even you two from my world, I will prosper you and not prey on you," the king said while looking at the Kidi and the Mach.

" Go sleep on it and tomorrow we will talk again...and enjoy your day," the king said and immediately the servants who assist us with the coaches immediately came for us.

We went through another route and enjoyed new features we had not seen the previous day while in my mind I was thinking, "Well we are about to either make a mistake or right some wrongs!"
