Chapter 6: The Wedding Interview
Chapter 6: The Wedding Interview
Eventually we arrive back at the palace. I go to my room.
After about 20 minutes I hear a knock on my door.
*Knock knock
I open it, it's the head assistant.
"The Documents you requested"
I look at him, then calmly open the folder. What the hell I can't read this.
"Just feed the paper some of your magic, you already have access to read them"
As I do this the symbols stay the same but for some reason I can now understand the contents. I go sit at the desk and start reading.
The gist of the document goes as follows:
The Absolute Loyalty Seal is a stamp given to king Harold II at his coronation ceremony It is used by placing the stamp at the base of the scull. Magic is then fed to it to activate. The mark is round and about 5 cm in diameter. See Diagram. The hair is removed using a compass with a blade attached. Permission from the target is a requirement since the seal is supplied the required magic power from the target, this activates the outer ring of the seal which is also painful, but it can be done in slowly. Put simply: more magic, more pain. this continues until the mark fills and the light fades. The target is then put to sleep for the owner to supply magic, activating the seal. If the owner never supplies magic the seal is remains inactive. Inactive or not the seal will never fade until the target dies. The Loyalty Seal's conditions are that the target can never betray the owner (Consult staff for further details), when triggered the brainstem is severed resulting in instant death of the target.
What the SHIT! INSTANT DEATH.
WHAT!?.
I look over, he's still standing at the door.
"Uhm?"
"If you are done with it, I'll be taking the confidential documents back to the vault"
I walk over to him in a daze and hand them back.
"Well then I'll be off... Ah yes! Your wedding interview started about 5 minutes ago"
WHAT, Oh shit WHAT!
I run off.
The Wedding Interview
I came running down the hallway to the courtyard, before you enter the garden. Lucky for me I was already dressed. I slam open the sliding door.
*thack
I can't breathe. When I catch my breath. I look up
"Im sorry I'm La--. Huh?"
Some Maids are looking at me. It kind of looks like they are setting up.
"Ah Sir Kaijuu, You're 20 minutes early"
I look at them like Huh?
"Hahahahaha"
I notice Shanon laughing her ass off.
She takes a breath.
"Whew. Let me guess, the head assistant. Pffft"
All the maids are like 'Ah!' and continue working. I see, it was a joke, he got me.
"You're 20 minutes early, come sit."
She pulls out a chair and pats the seat.
"Saa, You saved me a trip. Pffft!"
I give up. She takes a seat across from me.
"The interview already started by the way. You did pretty well."
I take a breath.
"What do you mean? Aren't I early?"
that came out wrong. nevermind.
"I mean you are, but.. tell me... are you angry?"
"Am I angry."
I tap my finger to my chin.
"Just answer the question."
"Well no, it was just a joke after all."
"Two things"
She shows me a peace sign indicating two obviously.
"I just now realized certain things about you Sir Kaijuu. First of all you can take a joke
and I've seen plenty of people get angry over stupid stuff, they usually turn out bad, so like,
that's a weight off my shoulders."
She exhales relaxing her shoulders
"And the second thing?"
"Oh yeah, You value other people's time more than your own."
She gives me a thumbs up.
"Nice"
She gives me a soft smile. The door opens. Shanon gets up and bows.
"Princess Roka you're early. I'll be leaving now."
"Shanon you're not staying?"
"No need"
She walks past Roka puts her hand up then
*gotcha gotcha gotcha gotcha.
Roka blushes. She's wearing a beautiful dark blue dress that goes down to her feet with a slit down the leg and a piece dragging on the floor , her hair's down, she looks so dignified. Her whole body language screams Lady. Must be the etiquette lessons. I keep staring. I can't stop looking at her. She looks so charming and cute.
Is this even the same girl. I might lose it.
Damn my face is getting hot again. I cover my face with my hand.
