"Sir, the call is for you".
A young man, who sit on the floor stopped his activity. He focused on the screen. He saw a gentleman in panic face.
"Sir..." asked the artificial intelligent again.
"Answer it! I'm listening"
The man seemed relief.
"Sir" he said. "The King want to meet you. Can I arrange some meeting for you, please?"
Linah answered in her female voice.
"Is the king hear me now?"
The lawyer looked at to the king. "He is!"
"Good, Let me speak to His Highness King of Martea"
The lawyer approached the king. He put his phone on the table. He pressed the screen and a female hostage appear.
"Your Highness. It's nice to hear from you..."
The king stops Linah. He didn’t interested in lips services anymore.
"I want to meet him" He said in high tone. "We have something to discuss"
"Really? What is it? We can discuss it His highness…."
"No!" the king insisted.
"You know, even you have money. It doesn't mean you control can me. I'm the king. You are at my place dear!"
The man in the somewhere suddenly stares at the other screen in the room. His alarm is ringing. Some is hijacking them. The line is not safe.
"How do you guarantee our safety?" asked Linah "Your people is trying to track me."
"I know. So? If you want me to stop, your master must agree with me!"
"You don't trust us. How do we trust you? Your Highness, why do you want to know me more than you should know?"
"I trust no body!" said the king. "As the royal family, my father told me not to trust anyone. Too many brothers want my throne. Murder is part of my life story. What do you expect?"
Linah silent in moment waiting for her master respond. She just artificial intelligent, she decided nothing.
"Green Tea, should I meet him?" said the unknown to his dog. “He became very irresistible lately”
The dog did not response. It is artificial dogs with lots of wires inside. What do you expect?
After few minutes silent, Linah back online.
"Just between me and you" she said.
The king won, he got what he wants. As a deal, he called his staff to confirm.
"Stop now!"
"But, we almost there His Highness, less than one minute we located him."
"I told you Roger, stop now! I’m your king! If you do care about me, please. Stop it now!"
"Oh one more" said the king. "Told the prime minister, he can get my head off if he insist to meet Mr. Ghost. It's royal family matter. He is not royal family. He might get money as much as he want, but not my country."
Call ended.
The king back to Linah.
"Tell him, I'm waiting for the detail"
Linah, quits for a moment. She needed to check if the king doesn't lie. When her master gave approval she continued.
"My master is not a special person. If you want to have a tea with him, you are welcomed. Just make sure, you go alone and do not use any king's attribute. We are not royal family. We don't get use to public attention.
We will send the car tomorrow. Please, let Mr. Qatar leave safely to bring the document"
The king smiled in desperately.
"How I can trust you?"
"We never asked you to trust us" said Linah. "You do make your choice. Since you choose us, you know what the consequences is. We meet tomorrow. Please, let our lawyer home safely. Make sure no one hurt him"
Call ended.
Groups of people leave palace safely today. They used private jet parked some miles near the palace. None stopped them.
"You trust them, again?"
The king ignored prime minister. He sit on his desk silently. In the next morning, maid entered his office brought a cup of tea and pastries for his breakfast. When he opens it, he finds a small card under his cup. He grabs it.
~Be a ghost~
Thinking about ghost, the king signs document this morning. Suddenly, a man entered the room to announce.
"The car was sent and ready for Your Highness"
The king stopped for a while then continued his meeting. He repeated his word.
"Your highness, the your car is ready"
All attendants stared their king.
"Is the car safe?"
"Yes, we have checked it. They sent a very good car with anti-bullet window, a capable drivers and a beautiful personal assistance.
"Herold" called the king
"Yes?"
"Go and find out who is this guy. You are the minister of general affair. I've no time to play with ghost"
Herold stunned. He has nothing to argue the king. He arose and walked away. The car brought him to somewhere.
After the meeting, the king gets another notes in his lunch plate.
"Let's begin"
He saw a lot foods on his table. Most of the looked fresh, colorful and delicious.
"Is there any agenda after lunch?"
"No Sir" his secretary replays.
"Good, I feel not good. The foods, please check the ingredient for me."
The women went to call the chef. She back with bad news.
"Your Highness, the chef added almond and oysters sauce. Did you feel ok?"
The king run to the toilet. The chef felt guilty. He knew kings having some allergic, but it was not oysters or almond.
"Please, call the doctor" said the secretary to the maid.
She called in hurry. The chef life was in danger. He prayed harder than usual. Sweat dropped from his neck to cover all of his body.
"It's ok. He is fine now." Said the doctor to all. "I've give him medicine for his stomached. He is a tough king"
"What should we do?" asked the secretary.
"Nothing, just let him sleep. It's more than enough. It's affect to his gastro vascular. And the food is okay. Don't blame him" said the doctor pointed the chef.
The chef relieved at the moment. He could continue his life as an honor chef of palace.
"Now, please leave this mansion. I will be here to take care the king. This is his order"
