One month later...
A Beast-man sat on his throne and for the list of today's duties...
This place is always boring, I'm so hungry!
Your majesty, I'm here. Sorry for the wait.
It's okay, begin.
As you wish, the first duty today is the judgment of a gang of thieves. After that you are required to join the rest of the high council in the war room.
(Only two, that means I'll actually have some free time this time).
Shall we get to the first order of business.
Begin.
Bring them in!
The doors swung open and four guards walked in with three shackled convicts following behind.
Thieves you stand before the king of Devalia, you may plead your case: Kenchi Kintsugi.
Sorry, we're not actually the gang of thieves you're looking for.
What do you mean? You admitted that you stole from countless people.
I did go a little crazy didn't I.
June and Mira both gave Kenchi looks of expectation.
Of course you did.
Enough!! I'll allow you to explain yourself, don't make me regret this.
Kenchi cleared his throat.
I am Kenchi Kintsugi the ruler of a village north of here and I'm here t-
What is the name of your village?
Well I haven't decided on a name yet.
That won't do, A village's name is what put it on the map, but other than that I don't understand why you lied to get here?
They wouldn't let us pass.
Hmm, so why are you here?
Your majesty, my village has a food shortage.
And you think my kingdom can supply you with the food you need?
You couldn't be more right.
What can you offer me?
I can give ten percent of my village profit to Devalia.
How about, a duel to decide if I will take your offer.
A duel?
