Chereads / Past, Present, Future Together / Chapter 3 - The ancient timeline is so different!

Chapter 3 - The ancient timeline is so different!

A sound of someone walking fastly can be heard in the silence.By the sound of the person footsteps it's clear that he is walking quite fastly like he has a very urgent work to do immediately.The sound of the footsteps that was a little low before now seems to have increased,the person is coming closer and closer and then...

*Knock *knock

"....."

*Knock*knock

"open the door it's me."

*Door opening sound*

"Why are you here this late at night?"

"Come with me..."

"....."

"Just come with me his highness had ordered to summon you 'Miss Kisato omenari'."

"If so why you are the one who come to fetch me Duke. you could just have sent a knight or a maid.."

"I am actually surprised you know what maid and knights are, judging by your question of what's is a key in the morning I didn't had any expectations from you."*sneer*

"I don't want to talk too much on that topic I hope you are smart enough to understand on your own why I ask that....'let's go"

Kisato start walking ahead of him.

"Yes I know you don't have to worry about my smartness, btw.....Do you even know where to go?"

*Stop*

His lips curled up in a smile that doesn't look like a smile at all and he start leading her.He asked her some questions which Kisato only answerd what she thought is worth answering,she ignored all the useless questions and Duke didn't pressure her to answer them as well.

After walking for some minutes they reached the place where the king summond kisato.which she don't know the reason nor did the Duke told her.While walking with the Duke,Kisato realised one thing...that Duke walking speed was quite fast maybe because of his long legs or maybe because he had trained himself so much that it just increased on its own.But it's not a problem for her to keep up with his pace at all she also has trained her body perfectly,the handwatch in her hand is what had been made for people in her timeline to check up on there health issues because of this in her timeline people are more healthy and fit.As for Kisato she had trained herself a little more then normal people so her health has always been perfect.

The door opened,Duke and Kisato entered inside. The king was sitting in his chair but he was not alone there are more people sitting beside him on different chairs.The room was not an office nor it was an luxurious room as Kisato had anticipated it.It was big room with a large table with chairs beside it, the table had so many ediable things placed on it from one side to another.

It didn't take much time for her to realise that this room is what they call a dinning room or to be more precise it's a dinning 'hall'.

The question is why he had called her here?to eat dinner?well if that's the case why would these people who she also saw in the court today is present here? whatever it might be, it doesn't look like this going to be just a small dinner.

She thought and after that she sat on the chair the maids pulled out for her, The Duke had already sat down on the chair next to her

But even after she sat down the king didn't start talking why he called her here.Looks like he is waiting for someone else as well,she looked at the door she had just come from and saw the 5 teens are also invited to this 'so called'dinner.

But the thing is if they are planning to call everyone of us why the Duke come to fetch her personally she did remember asking him that but he talked about today's incident and didn't answer the question.But then again he always seem to have some intrest in her he always ask about her and roam around her.she knows that she had picquiped his interest somehow.[She is not talking about love interest for your kind information.she meant it as something entertaining.]

Does he want something from me? or he is just taking a intrest in me for being from future but I am not the only one who had come from that portal.She looked at him who had noticed her stare and also looked at her for a moment it seems like they were having a staring contest but after some time he break the eyes contact and looked at the person sitting on the opposite side.

He looked like he was observing that man,the man looked like he was in his late 40s and judging by his face and clothes he seem to be and important person well I think anyone who is sitting here is a important figure as to why the king would have called for some randome people to have dinner with him,I don't know much about the monarchy system but by how much I had read in the books here the king is of an absolute power,he is not like a president of my timeline country who change after losing votes from the citizens, the people here do not have the right to choose the person who will lead there country,the system here work like the royals are above all and after the king dies then his son who they call a crown prince the first born son of the king ascend the throne and it goes like that.

Sigh*'what unfairness! the ancient time is really so much different from the future.'

The king started eating,looks like he was indeed waiting for the teens.kisato also start eating she pick up the knife in her right hand and the fork in her left and cut the piece of meat in her plate this thing is called steak after having a bite Kisato realised that this is the same dish she had once eaten in a restaurant, the dish is the same but the making style is different that's why she didn't recognise it at first.

After finishing there dinner every one wiped there mouth with the napkins Kisato did the same and after that she looked at the teens who were still struggling to eat there steak and the main reason for that' is that they were holding the knife and fork in wrong hands well it seems like not all of them are struggling the boy who said her name was sid and was from America also had finished eating his dinner.In America people eat with fork and knife while in Korea,Japan and also china people use chopsticks that's why it was difficult for them to eat the steak with knife and fork but then sid teached them the right way to hold a knife and fork Quietly and they also finished eating there steak somehow.

"You are quite good at table manners." *whisper*{Duke}

"Hmm"{Kisato}

"You really don't like talking much huh.."*whisper*{Duke}

"We should only speak how much the others want to listen talking unnecessary might cause you trouble."[Kisato]

"Not talking can also cause trouble as you will have difficulty communicating with people later.."[Duke]

"Aren't I talking with you right now?"[Kisato]

"I am not talking about this kind of talk but I guess given that you are not one to speak much this is also fine..."[Duke]

'Whatever'.Even though she didn't say that to my face but looking at her Expression I can tell that's exactly what she said to me in her mind.....[He smiled a Little, this time it actually looked like a smile.]

The reason for the dinner meeting was still unknown looks like not even the people who had come here know the reason for why the king had called them except Duke.Everyone looked at the king excluding Kisato and Duke.

Duke looked at Kisato and smirked a little and then the king start speaking.He said that he called all of them here to discuss about the black hole thing that suddenly appeared in our empire.

"But didn't we discuss that already today?"[An zhe]

The other looked at him like they were saying 'How dare you cut the king words!'An zhe flinched and then quite down feeling Scared Jennie hold his hand to show him some comfort.Then king looked at Kisato.

Kisato after sensing that king was looking at her looked at him in the eyes not showing any sign of fear just a look of 'what?'.

The king scoffed a little and said:

"You,you are from quite a far ahead future right?"

"Maybe.."

"Hah! You are not even a little Scared of me nor do you find this situation to even worth showing your interest,why is that?"

"I am interested because I want to know when you will let us go so I can rest..."

"You are tired?"

"No, I just want to sleep.."

*Duke Smirked*

"You are taking quite a intrest in all this Duke. I never saw you smirking before infact I never thought anything in this empire will ever please you."

"You can't blame me for not showing interest in anything before because this case is indeed worth taking interest in btw I would like if you continue your discussion and exclude ourselves from this personal chat as someone might be too sleppy to stay here anymore."*smirked looking ay kisato*

With quite an amusing laugh the king said 'yes I understand' and continued his discussion again.The black hole thing that is what called a portal suddenly appeared out of nowhere doesn't make any sense as there is no mage or witch in the empire this must have been happened in one of the youngsters timeline.

The king asked the teens and Kisato if there is anything like a witch or mage in there timeline who might have caused a timelapse to happen?The teens said that we do believe in the witch and maze's but we are not sure that they are capable of doing something big like this.Then again the king turned to Kisato after listening to the teens explaination.Kisato after the king looked at her said:

"There is nothing like a witch and maze in my timeline infact I don't even know what witch's and maze's are..."

king along with the others being a little surprised."I see.."

"Guess the future people are dumb they don't even know what witch's and maze's are.."*hahahaa...*[a person from the people present there said]

Duke being a little annoyed about to say something but.....

"Your words alone are just enough to tell who is more dumb here..."

Kisato replyed before Duke,That man got angry...."are you trying to call me dumb?! how dare you! know your place!"

"Know your place before I kick you out of here!!"[king]

"Your highness why are taking her side?!She is the witch I am sure!"

*Duke Slamed the dinnimg table hard making every one flinch*

"We didn't call you here to talk nonsense marquis!" *Glare*

"But duk-!"

"If your don't like it here you can leave!"[Duke]

He shut his mouth and sat quietly.

The king sighed and said ' that it's for now we'll discuss this matter some other time its quite late go and rest....'

"Specially you Miss.Kisato omenari" *chuckle*

He said and left from there the others also left.Duke also said his good night while smirking to Kisato and followed the king.kistao also started leaving.

"Uh...Kisato-san wait!"

Kisato turn around and looked at Taeyoung who called her.

"...yes?"

"I have been meaning to ask you this for a while after Today meeting....ah umm.....do your watch also have some kind of signal system as well?..."

"Signal system....?"

"Yea I mean that you rememberd how I was able to call Mira phone today?in our timeline signal are needed to make a call if there is no internet service available then you can't make a call to anyone...and here obviously isn't any network tower so I just wanted to ask if this has anything to do with your watch...."

"Hmm.....maybe because In my timeline we don't need network from some kind of tower our device always have network it doesn't matter where am I"

She took out her phone from her pant pocket and showed it to him that the network bar is full even now....

Taeyoung said maybe your watch is working like a tower or something to provide internet I don't know how is that even possible but who knows what happened in the future....after saying that he left from there to go to his bedroom.kisato stayed there for a little while thinking about something and then also made her way to her assigned room.
