The Tale Of 2 Kingdoms

Chapter 42: An incoming threat

It's been a few weeks.

Kai visited Etho a lot during those few weeks.

Undyne decided to help Alphys with some experiments.

Sans and Papyrus are properly doing their job now, being sentries.

The Dreemurrs have went to the Heartfelt Kingdom for a few meetings, oftentimes getting a few glares their way. Obviously, the citizens haven't forgotten about Chara's act.

A person was lurking in the dark, collecting information.

Mettaton was still being completely useless.

Right now, the Dreemurrs were getting ready for another meeting. What does the Heartfelt Kingdom even want? Even Asgore is tired of going to these meetings. Kai had to wear a cloak now just so people could tell that he's royalty and not just a random kid that follows the Royal Family around. Today, Chara gave him her cloak since his was still torn up and covered in mud from those kids throwing mud and rocks at him. She even promised to be beside him at all times. For some reason, Kai liked wearing the cloak's hood. It made him feel mysterious. Chara forced Frisk to take the other 2 beans with him since she didn't trust anyone who wasn't a Dreemurr. Etho wanted to come with them but Kai and Chara had to explain that the Heartfelt Guards wouldn't let anyone that isn't a Royal Family member in their kingdom.

"Mom?" Kai asked. "Yes, Kai?" Chara replied. "Do you think that Etho is a good person?" Kai asked while looking at the nearby forest. "Of course, why do you ask?" Chara said. "I just wanted to hear your opinion." Kai said, then continued looking at his surroundings. He swore he saw a pair of eyes looking at him from the shadows of the forest. He tried to ignore it for now. They had a meeting to go to.

As soon as they stepped into the Heartfelt Kingdom, most of the citizens locked themselves in their houses. The other citizens would usually say something bad about them and their children would throw mud and rocks at Kai, Hope and Zephyr. Kai has shielded his siblings a lot. Chara would then either take one step towards them and watch them run off in fear or give them a cold stare. Clearly, they weren't afraid of the entire family. They were afraid of Chara.

They reached the Castle. The new rulers welcomed them in as if they were family. Asgore and Toriel liked that a lot. Asriel and Kai left to explore the Heartfelt Kingdom's Castle, Frisk made sure that Chara's PTSD wouldn't trigger any time soon (Because, you know...) and Chara simply went to another room with Hope and Zephyr. According to Toriel and Asgore, the meeting wasn't something special. It was about permissions. Kai found the wizard again and simply said 'Hi'. Frisk was beside Chara all of the time, he really doesn't want anything to happen to her. Hope kept trying to climb up her father's arm. Frisk found that strangely funny. Meanwhile, Zephyr had already managed to reach Chara's shoulders. It was somewhat unfair though since Chara is slightly shorter than Frisk. Asriel and Kai eventually found them and told them that the meeting was over, so they said their goodbyes and returned to their kingdom.

Sans and Papyrus reported seeing a shadow-like figure roaming around the kingdom's borders. Chara and Asgore immediately ordered the Royal Guard to be ready at all times.

This will not end well.

(Before you ask, Alphys diagnosed Chara with PTSD 2 days after Frisk, Kai, Flowey and Chara returned from the Heartfelt Kingdom.)

((I wonder who that figure is...))
