Precious: Who are they?
Gisha: The kings of the Gazekil Kingdom and the Kingdom of Shin have come to meet you.
Precious: And when exactly were you planning to tell me that?
Gisha: Did I not mention it? Oops, sorry~ (;
Precious: Haaah… Anyway, I'm not going.
Tell Rental and the other leaders to attend the meeting and keep me updated.
And yes — don't forget to call Mom and Dad too.
Gisha: Seems like you've gotten used to calling them Mom and Dad.
Precious: Well, now that I've given them those roles, what's the harm?
Besides, they're also official members of the kingdom now.
Gisha: Yeah, okay -_-
Scene: Gisha starts to walk out of the room.
Precious: Wait a second! Why did she give me that reaction?
Hey! Gisha! HELLO? Oye!
Scene: Gisha is gone.
Kail: That's what happens when someone's hiding something.
Precious: What do you mean?
Kail: …Nothing.
Scene: Meeting Room — King Rental is sitting on the main chair. His assistant Pasken is standing beside him.
There's a long table in the center with chairs on both sides, and sofas along the wall.
Scene: Gisha enters the meeting room with King Dinsh of the Kingdom of Shin and King Backtion of the Gazekil Kingdom.
They are accompanied by their servants and bodyguards.
Rental: Welcome, welcome to Secret Sky — King Backtion and King Dinsh.
Backtion: King Rental, your city is very beautiful. I'm glad I could visit.
Dinsh: Yes, I agree.
Dinsh (thinking): Soon, this entire area will be under my control.
How can such a beautiful city belong to monsters? This place is made for me. Hnhh…
Gisha: Kings, please take your seats.
Servants and guards may sit on the sofas.
Scene: Everyone sits in their respective places.
Gisha: Today's meeting is about the future alliance and cooperation between the three kingdoms.
Can this friendship continue? Will there be mutual support during attacks?
We'll also discuss cultural exchange.
Dinsh: Then what are we waiting for? All three kings are here — let's begin!
Gisha: Not yet. A few more important people are still to arrive.
Backtion: Alright, then we'll wait.
Scene: One by one, Lama, Shala, Sewa, Wase, Kilua, Priya, and finally Grass enter.
Backtion (thinking): These people… If they become enemies, they'll be tough opponents.
Dinsh (thinking): Soon, this entire army will serve me.
I'll kill this goblin, take his place, and then kill King Backtion to conquer his kingdom too. Heheheh…
Backtion: Shall we begin now?
Gisha: Not yet. Two more guests are still to arrive.
Dinsh: Who else? How many people are attending this meeting!?
Gisha: The ones who are about to arrive… are as important as King Rental and even you, King Dinsh.
So I prefer to wait.
Scene: The door opens. Enter Spirit Queen Shanti and Fairy King Pluto.
Backtion & Dinsh: Wait — Fairy King and Spirit Queen!?
Backtion: So these are the two important guests you mentioned?
Gisha: Yes.
Dinsh: I see now why they're important…
Dinsh (thinking): Tch. Well, doesn't matter. As long as my plan works, it's fine. I just need one chance…
Gisha: Then let's officially begin the meeting between:
Greenland's King Rental, Shin Kingdom's King Dinsh, and Gazekil Kingdom's King Backtion.
Rental: Let's start with culture.
Backtion: Yeah, sure.
Dinsh: Our kingdom is famous for delicious sweets — it's our specialty.
And our dance culture is also top-class.
King Backtion already knows that.
Backtion: I've tasted your sweets, but I haven't seen your dance — though I've heard a lot about it.
In Gazekil Kingdom, singing is our pride.
If we combine your dance with our singing, it'll be amazing.
Rental: In that case, how about we host an event?
Your singing, your sweets and dance, and from us — hospitality.
Not just that — we specialize in veg food.
Humans and others from your kingdoms probably don't even know many of the dishes we make.
You'll also enjoy the view here.
What do you think?
Backtion: What kind of food are we talking about?
Dinsh: Yeah, give us some names.
Rental: Sure — Dosa, Chow Mein, Veg Burger, Pasta, and many more.
It'll take a long time to list them all.
Dinsh: Alright, I'm in. So when should we hold the event?
Dinsh (thinking): Maybe I'll get my chance during the event…
Rental: I'm ready anytime. No shortage of space here.
Backtion: Let's hold the event a few years from now.
Rental: Years!?
Dinsh: Why such a long wait?
Backtion: Because our kingdom's schedule is tight right now.
Once we're free in a few years, I'll let you know.
Rental: I don't mind.
Dinsh: Fine. If neither of you have a problem, then I don't either.
Dinsh (thinking): I can wait a few years… for now.
Gisha: Culture discussion ends. Now, let's move to the topic of army and defense.
Scene: Suddenly, the doors creak open. Everyone is confused — who could it be?
There's no one else expected.
Scene: The doors fully open, and Precious enters.
Everyone is shocked.
Precious's own army is surprised — he refused to attend, so why is he here now?
The humans are stunned — why is a child in this meeting room?
Why didn't anyone stop him?
Scene 2: Precious casually walks over and sits next to Shanti on the sofa, between the humans.
Backtion: What's this kid doing here?
Dinsh: Who is he? Whose child is this!? What's he doing here!?
Rental: This is, uh… this is…
Gisha: This is the son of King Pluto and Queen Shanti.
Scene: Everyone — SHOCKED — "HUUUUHHHH!?"
Shanti: Haaa… ah… ohh, yes. He's our son.
His name is Precious.
Dinsh: Ooh… okay.
Backtion: So King Pluto and Queen Shanti are a couple?
And they have a child too? This news will spread fast…
Pluto: Wait, wait! This news must not go public!
Backtion: But why?
Pluto: There's a reason… but I can't tell you.
Backtion: If you say so, fine.
Scene: People on the sofa talk among themselves — "He's so cute." "Good-looking!" "Adorable!"
Gisha: Silence, please. Let's return to the topic of army and defense.
Dinsh (thinking): Maybe I won't have to wait for years…
If I attack this kid now, even the Spirit Queen and Fairy King won't be able to stop me…
Rental: Whenever you need our army, we will come — but only for defense.
We will not help in attacks.
Meaning, if someone attacks you, we'll protect you.
But if you attack someone else, we won't help. Simple.
Backtion: Fair enough. I can send up to 10% of my forces for now.
Don't expect more from my kingdom.
Dinsh: Alright then…
Scene: Dinsh stands up and slowly walks over to Precious while talking.
Dinsh: I have a vast army.
The people I brought here are less than 1% of my total force.
Scene: Dinsh sits beside Precious.
Dinsh: My kingdom is already one of the most powerful —
but I want even more power so I can become number one.
Scene: Dinsh reaches into his pocket.
Dinsh: And I'll take over Greenland for myself…!!!
HAHAHAHA!!
Scene: As he says this, he puts a knife to Precious's neck.
Scene 2: Everyone is shocked.
Precious is calmly eating food from the table.
Gisha: King Dinsh! What are you doing!?
Backtion: Whatever King Dinsh is doing — I have no involvement in this!
Dinsh: That's right!
Because King Backtion, you won't be leaving here alive!
Your kingdom will be mine too.
Then Kingdom of Shin will become the most powerful kingdom!!
Hahahaha!!
