Chapter 99
**Tzalmon Point of View**
I had spend close to three hours in the exhibit but couldn't get a glimpse of her nor sense her. Thinking of it, she should be coming to art exhibit if she was in the city.
She was an Architect and loves art to an extreme, that is a fact I've seen several times before.
I'm sure I did not mistake someone else for her in the bookstore. It was her in every sense then where exactly is she?
I walked through second and third floors of the exhibit and bought a couple of ceramics and pottery items that gave out a beautiful look.
I hovered over in the first floor for a while hoping to stumble upon the person I was wishing for but when it was past lunch time and she was still not here, I shook my head in disappoint and left to Thunders.
"What is it?" The moment I stepped inside the front hall, I saw Azar, Gyles and Eelk facing off each other in a circle glaring at each other fiercely.
The three looked at me and bowed to me with a greeting before going back to glare at each other, this time ever more fiercely.
The nerve that they did not even come forth to take the things from my hands and help with them. These few things are not heavy for me but I am their king and they are my subordinates whose work is to follow me and do what they are supposed to!
"Alright, what is going on here?" I rubbed my temples, preparing for another of unreasonable fights that they seem to have been getting into these days.
"Majesty, please support me." Gyles spoke first with a pleading look at me and then turned to the other two with a glare.
"Support what?"
"Majesty, sir, you have to listen to me first. I'm being handled with unfair means and suppression from higher ranks." Surprisingly, it was Azar who said this.
That sounded wrong!
I scowled at their meaningless pleads and pinned all the three of them with a hard murderous glare. "Tell me what the matter is first."
"Majesty, you should know how amazing Nathan Chen is! Please make these two understand that he is the best in the whole world. I beg Majesty to help me support my claim." Eelk, for some reason, whined like a young girl.
Chen what?
What or who is he talking about?
Azar snorted and threw a killing look at Eelk before turning to me, "Majesty, tell them that Yuma Kagiyama is the best. I mean, the way he slides through the ice so effortlessly makes one prostrate to him."
"Enough! Just what and who are these people you are speaking of and why would you prostate to someone else? Azar, are you rebelling against me?" Why am I stuck with these three difficult people?
No, to be more precise, why the hell did they change to this extent? I just want to kill them, seriously.
"No - no, Of course not Majesty. Please forgive this worthless subject for speaking nonsense." He bowed down asking for forgiveness.
This is clearly - overacting!
"Get up and tell me who these people are first." I groaned.
"You can't be serious!" Eelk exclaimed, looking at me with surprise that reached skies. If I'm not wrong I found and hint a ridicule in his eyes.
The heck?
"What did you say?"
"Uh - umm, Majesty, sorry that came out wrong but Majesty you really don't know the gods of ice skating? Nathan Chen is the best ice skater on the planet. He is amazing, brilliant, and outstanding - he is just everything." I've only seen this particular spark in the eyes of those very young girls who were fawning over Korean boys.
Never knew Eelk to has it in him!
"Alright, so this Nathan is some ice skater and he is really good at his job. What is the problem then?"
"That is the problem Majesty." Gyles gasped as if he was persecuted unfairly. "Because the best on the planet is Virat Kohli."
"Who is this now?" I tilted my head a little to a side and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"He belongs to a country called India and is a sportsperson of a sport called Cricket. They hit a ball with a bat while some run to catch a ball. It's an interesting sport to watch, Majesty. Sometimes, I wish I had a dozen pair of eyes to watch the game." Gyles explained with an unexpected hint of admiration and fawning in his tone.
Only the heavens know how I had to control myself from puking when I saw that look on his muscular monstrous face.
"So it's all about some sport? You three are fighting among yourself to prove the talent of a certain sportsperson?" I cannot believe I am still looking at the three highly valued and highly ranked members of my kingdom.
"Actually, Yuma Kagiyama is the best ice skater out there but Majesty, I and Eelk are talking about one sport and sir Gyles is talking about a completely different sport. He started to fight with us over a complete different sportsman."
And just like that, all the three went back to glaring at each other all the while bickering about which sport and which sportsperson is the best.
Ten minutes of standing in the same place with heavy things still in my hands while looking at the three in front of the television fighting for the remote to change the channel to their favorite sport.
"Are you having fun?" I asked them with a smile.
The briefly turned back to me and smiled back with a nod. "Yes Sir. You should join us sir. It is truly interesting." At this point, I did not even care who it was that spoke this.
My anger spiked to the point where my head started to hurt and my heart started to beat faster. My eyes could only see red at this point of time.
"How about I interestingly banish you from the kingdom and you three continue to find your own interests?" Although my tone was soft, the words were hard enough to hit the three back to their senses.
Remote control fell down and a minute of pin drop silence passed over. The three have their face finally drowned in fear and several needed emotion for the time.
That, Majesty, we are -" Azar started.
"Where is your Queen and young prince?" Although the question was asked Azar, it was nonetheless targeted to all the three.
"You must've already found them, I see." I walked forward and put down all the things I bought on the counter table of the reception.
"Why don't you just tell me where they are so you can go back to celebrating?" Seeing that none were speaking I continued to pressure them more.
They have their heads down and none are looking at me. I wiggled both my wrists and took my seat in front where they are standing.
"Azar, why don't you tell me; your queen and young prince, are they up in my office room or are they taken to the residence?"
"Eelk should've found out her workplace. So where was she working exactly?"
"What about you Gyles? You must be done with Thunders work, yes? Is the list of admissions ready? Where are the fees slabs for the classes?" One blow after another, I asked the three for the results but none answered.
The silence went on for whole three minutes and three did not even dare to breath loudly. "On one hand I am trying to find my wife, your queen and your young prince not just myself but for our whole kingdom and on the other side, the three subordinated I trust the most are so indulged in their own interests that they forgot the reason for coming to the mortal world."
"We apolog- " I cut the sentence again.
"The new world is much more interesting than ours, I understand but the enjoyment should be kept for spare time. I will not stop you all to enjoy as you wish when you are done with your mission but seeing as you all are -" I stopped myself from speaking anymore and stood up to walk away.
I'm too furious right now to speak nicely to them. I don't want to hit them, for now so I closed my eyes to compose myself before walking away to my office.
"I'm disappointed." With those final words, I left.
I plopped down on my chair heaved out a long sigh before pulling out my phone. There was a message from Captain which I haven't read so I opened it to see what it was.
The phone should be kept on a silent mode in the art gallery so I couldn't see the message earlier on. If the Captain himself texted me, it must be something about Eblilis.
'Hot news - your wife was spotted near 'Darwin kindergarten' a few times recently. I had it confirmed that the sources indeed saw the lady in the painting you provided me.'
My hands shook a little as I read the message. The calmness of my heart that I just retained went back to pounding loudly, this time in anticipation.
Finally!
Finally!
