Chapter 35: Coincidence
"We are finally here," Toya said while entering the Peace City with Dynasty and White Eagles.
"Let's go to an inn and take a rest," Ariel said.
"That would be great," Anna said.
"Yeah, I am sleepy too," Ronald said.
"Anything is fine by me," Arthur said.
Toya stopped in front of an inn and they booked three rooms for a night. Ariel and Toya went to one room. Ronald and Arthur went to another room and Anna went to the third room. They all freshened up and met outside the inn. Ronald didn't join them as he fell asleep.
"What are we gonna do now?" Toya said.
"Let's just go to a restaurant and grab some food," Ariel said.
Then they started for a restaurant. They walked for a while and saw a restaurant which was open. They decided to eat there. But before entering the restaurant they saw some weird vehicles but they ignored those vehicles.
After entering the restaurant, they felt a strange pressure. They found a table and sat there.
"I somehow don't feel right here," Anna said.
"Same here," Arthur said.
"Well let's eat and get out," Ariel said and called the waiter.
"Yes sir, how can I help you?" the waiter said.
"What's on today's menu?" Toya said.
"Here is the menu card," the waiter said and gave them a menu card. They selected some foods and the waiter wrote them down. The waiter asked Ariel his name.
"The name is Ariel," Ariel said.
"Full name...sir?"
"Ariel Wind."
"Ok, thanks sir, I will get your food as soon as possible," the waiter said and left.
The waiter did leave but he made the other customers be on their guard as they heard Ariel Wind was there. Most of them were glaring at the White Eagles. One of them stood up and approached the table of White Eagles.
"So you are Ariel Wind? Or to be exact Ariel K Wind?" one with long black hair, white body, muscular, tall guy said to Ariel. He had a sword with him and a hat on his hair.
"You guessed it right," Ariel said and immediately became the centre of attention.
"Such a nice coincidence," that guy said.
"Why do you say that?" Ariel said.
"My bad. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Henry K Gold," Henry said.
"So you are the Gold King….I guess?" Ariel said.
"Absolutely right."
"And by 'coincidence' did you mean our meeting?"
"You are half correct and half wrong," Henry said and backed down.
"Then what?"
"By coincidence I meant the meeting of every king and the only queen who is in the race of becoming the King of Kings," Henry said and smiled.
Ariel was shocked . He stood up and summoned Alice. White Eagles also stood up and raised their guard.
"Well, well….. don't be on guard. We are in the same boat, right?" Henry said. A woman stood up and left her table and paid her bill. She walked by in front of Henry without any fear.
"Oh my….the only brave queen is walking by," Henry said. But before he could smile, he had a sword pointed on his eye. The sword was made out of ice. Seeing this, the crew of Henry named Nightmight also stood up with their weapons. Following them, the crew of Frederica Q Ice named Charwell also stood up and raised their guard.
The atmosphere was of war. Everyone was ready to fight. But suddenly an old man came out from the kitchen and shouted, "Damn you all leaders. No fight at my Peace Restaurant. Sit down and eat then pay and leave."
Unexpectedly they all obeyed him and sat on their chairs. Ariel cancelled Alice and loosened up. Then many waiters came and served food to every one of them. The old man was standing in the middle.
Meanwhile they finished eating and the old man sat down on a chair. They all looked at him. He looked scary but cool. He had long brown hair and his body was muscular even though being an old man.
"So you guys are the new generation," the old man said.
"What do you mean by new generation?" Henry said.
"He means…..us who are in the race of being the King of Kings in this decade," a man from the table in the right corner said. His face was hidden by a hoodie.
"I guess you are…William K Shadow, ain't you?" Henry said.
"You are correct," William said.
"You are alone tonight," Broddy K Metal said.
"Yeah, my crew is resting at an inn," William said.
"Enough stupid talks," the old man shouted. Ariel looked at him and said," Who are you old man?"
"Me? I am Artorus Friks," the old man said.
"Artorus ….Friks?" Ariel said.
"I have heard the name before…. somewhere," Frederica said.
"Where?" Ariel said.
"Somewhere …..but I cannot remember it," Frederica said.
"You must have heard my name with the name of Peacemaker," Artorus said.
"Yes….yes…..Artorus…..Friks ….. wasn't it the name of the father of Peacemaker,Drajil?" Frederica said and immediately got the attention of all. They were shocked after hearing it.
"Yeah, my son is Drajil who is known as Peacemaker to most of the people," Artorus said.
"It's unbelievable that you are alive and working at your age," Henry said.
"As expected from the father of Peacemaker," Broddy said.
"Yeah, let me give you guys some advice," Artorus said.
"What is it?" Ariel said.
"Go on old man," Henry said.
"Do not…...fight against Victor," Artorus said.
William got up from his chair and headed for the door of the restaurant.
"Are you done?" Artorus said to William.
"I had come here to eat and leave but not to hear bullshit," William said and left.
"I guess I will pass," Henry said and left with his crew.
"Oh…. young people," Artorus said and sighed.
"Old man, why do you say that?" Ariel said to Artorus.
"You guys will eventually know it. Anyways it's my closing time so leave," Artorus said and went back to the kitchen.
All of them were confused but they didn't delay and leave.
