{BOW! DO IT! OR ELSE THE SOLDIERS BEHIND YOUR BACK WILL STRIKE YOU WITH THEIR ARROWS!} came up a tag from Mister No one.
Falling 180 degree out of no sense, Kalrain bowed straight at the Queen.
This shocked the entire group of grey fairy soldiers around the bank of the lake. Thou he was poor looking guy with ragged clothes on him but, sympathy and nobility aura releasing from that boy standing at the center of the golden lake just by bowing made the entire atmosphere surrender down their respect for the fairy Queen Linsiliya.
As he stayed at that pose, the tag again appeared right in front of his face [Read and say this]
[IT IS AN HONOR FOR ME TO MEET YOUR HIGHNESS. A SIGHT OF GREAT RESPECT HAS BEEN MARKED IN MY LIFE AT THIS VERY MOMENT]
“This one’s strange” thought Kalrain to himself but, then obeyed it without any objections.
He spoke out while his head still lowered “It is an honor for me to meet your Highness. A sight of great respect has been marked in my life by greeting you”.
No one know how or when did he learn such manners on the other hand, all began to whisper at his among each other.
“I can’t believe what I am seeing, buddy” whispered one to the other whereas, the other one nodded at him.
The left side one said “he’s a human, how does he acknowledge us with such respect”.
“Beats me too” replied his friend.
No one could comment or review about his sincerity or manners. No one knew that Mister No one the system had a hand in it.
The Queen smiled at this, with her pink lips she spoke and gave an order,
“Rise up human”.
He rose and stood straight, out of respect his eyes were still looking down at the golden lake instead of the Queen. In his point of view after doing this act of respect, he realized there were no measures between him and her. He completely out ranked from that. He was nothing or didn’t have any title due to which he didn’t even dare to look at her. He was ash in front of the fire.
His, this action amazed the Queen a lot that she couldn’t understand whether he was really the kind that he looks like?
Was he a King in disguise?
An adventurer?
A warrior?
A Finder?
She couldn’t tell instead grew blank. Since she was a Queen she knew the rules of how to get introduced with a new comer:
Ask question and get your answer without any arguments, simple rules but, a serious one.
She spoke up “May I know your name, boy?” she asked.
“Yes, sure it’s my honor” nodded the boy with his eyes down and replied “It’s Kalrain, only Kalrain”
“Only one name creature, that’s weird, you know” she asked confusing the boy.
“Your honorable Majesty, what do you mean?”
This made beauty Queen giggle which surprised the soldiers.
She explained “you are very simple and respectful boy you know. It’s pretty rare to find humans of your kind these days. On top of it, there is a saying that when a person has a single name he is known as the rarest creature of all. It is said that they are no simple humans but, special”.
“I see, thank you for acknowledging me” surprised Kalrain as he remained silent.
‘De dragon’ was called by an unknown person who dragged me into this unknown world however, it isn’t sure whether that name should be placed with my own name or should I just hang it aside until I get verified for it to be mine? thoughts such as these perplexed the boy. He wasn’t sure whether he spoke the truth to the Queen Linsiliya or said lie. He didn’t wanted to disrespect her with either way by his speak or his words and action.
It was getting difficult for him to be in front of her by time to time. Yet, he had to remain calm until a decision is made on him. Or at least he wanted to get experience about these things.
After all what he did, entered their kingdom as an intruder, so words were needed to be made.
“Kalrain…” called the Queen.
“Yes” he answered with a little bow.
“May I know why you are here?”
This dumb struck the boy, what should I say? ‘I came by a suggestion of Mister No one’ thought Kalrain to himself. No way! No one’s gonna believe that. No one’s capable of seeing it then how will she understand the case?
Sweats of water pour off the boy’s head, he buried his head in thoughts wondering what to reply? What to say?
The Queen and the tempered soldiers behind all were waiting for an answer. Thinking deeply, his mind caught a sentences and he said “I am looking for someone named Elmore”.
“WHAT?!” astonished the entire surrounding.
“Elmore?” surprised the Queen wondering why was a mere poor human looking for him?
