79 - The Ruler of the Kingdom

79 - The Ruler of the Kingdom

A toilet flushed and a man wearing a red cape stepped out of a bathroom. He was also wearing a golden crown, and a grey mask that covered his entire face. Embedded into the mask was green sunglasses so he could see.

The man noticed Cutecumber, Brazilian Bug Boy, and Goose man. "Who are you people?" the man asked.

"Umm... we're just some people who want to check out of this country." Brazilian Bug Boy stated.

The man did a heroic pose and asked, "Oh really? What are your names?"

Brazilian Bug Boy spoke once again, saying, "I'm Brazilian Bug Boy. That's Cutecumber, Lusha, and Goose Man."

"Ah, well won't you stay for dinner?" The man asked. "Uh... I guess." Brazilian Bug Boy replied hesitantly.

Kookakoo ran up, still screaming. She stopped and started panting. Lusha giggled to herself and said, "Yup. That scream was Kookakoo all along."

"There was a horse... it was massive." Kookakoo said in-between breaths. Goose Man nodded and said, "Yeah. Off-page, a guard introduced us to the horse. It's the national horse."

Kookakoo grabbed Goose Man by the neck and started shaking him while yelling, "YOU SIDE WITH HORSES? HOW DARE YOU!"

The man chuckled and said, "Ah yes. The national horse. My favorite pet."

Brazilian Bug Boy gasped in realization and said, "Wait? So you must be the ruler of this kingdom."

The man nodded and replied, "Indeed. I am the sultan of this kingdom. Prince Acty!"

Octopus Man, Floran and Emberlyn finally made their way to everyone else as well, and Kookakoo walked up to Octopus Man and pointed to Goose Man, saying, "Goose Man is a traitor! He sides with horses!"

Octopus Man gasped in shock. "Goose Man! How dare you!" he shouted. Goose Man looked around in confusion and put his arms up defensively. "What did I even do?" he asked.

"Well anyway. As I said, would you stay for dinner? It has been so long since I have had visitors." Acty said. "Why is that?" Cutecumber asked.

Acty shrugged and replied, "I don't know. I mean, I have committed several war crimes, but other than that, I'm a nice guy."

Floran sighed and said, "Well, I haven't eaten anything besides biscuits for a while thanks to Octopus Man and Kookakoo, so yeah, I'll stay."

"EXCELLENT!" Acty shouted in delight.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

Octopus Man and Kookakoo looked upset. Kookakoo kicked the ground and mumbled, "Stupid Floran. Not letting us have more biscuits."

Acty chuckled and said, "What kind of duke would I be if I didn't have biscuits?"

Octopus Man and Kookakoo's eyes widened in hope. Octopus Man spoke up, saying, "Wait, so does that mean you have..." Acty nodded before Octopus Man could finish his sentence and said, "Yes. We have a vault of all the biscuits you could ever eat."

Octopus Man and Kookakoo gasped in happiness. Catalina crawled out from the ground upon hearing this.

"Follow me." Acty concluded, leading them on down the hallway.

They followed and eventually found themselves in a large lavish room with a long dining table inside. On each table was a steak dinner.

"How did you know to cook steaks?" Cutecumber asked. "Oh, I didn't. I just like to have plates at my table so I can feel like I have friends." Acty replied.

"WHO CARES! WHERE ARE THE BISCUITS!" Octopus Man asked loudly. Acty walked up to a bookshelf and pulled a book out.

Octopus Man, Kookakoo, and Catalina watched in anticipation.

Acty simply put the book back and nothing happened.

Octopus Man, Kookakoo, and Catalina's faces now had unamused expressions. "What was that about?" Kookakoo asked impatiently.

"I was just reading a book about where the biscuit vault is. This place is so big, I forget where I put things." Acty replied. "So where are the biscuits?" Octopus Man asked.

Acty walked two inches to the left to face a door. "Right here." he stated before opening the door. Inside was, just as he had said, was a vault of biscuits.

The three jumped into the vault and started devouring biscuits like pain medication.

The rest of them sat at a seat. Lusha ripped into her steak with her sharp teeth. Cutecumber and Brazilian Bug Boy put ketchup on their steaks, and Goose Man ate his steak in one bite.

Floran looked around in disbelief at how little manners they all had. She then looked at Emberlyn who was still standing so she wouldn't burn a chair.

Emberlyn picked up her steak and it disintegrated in her hands almost instantly. Her eyes filled up with tears. Floran sighed and started eating with a fork and knife.

Acty finally sat down and lifted his mask a bit. He then started sloppily digging into his steak. Floran put her fork and knife down before crossing her arms. "You know what, I'm not hungry anymore?" she said.

"So..." Acty began, his mouth full of food. "Are you guys like adventurers or something?"

"I guess you could say that." Cutecumber replied. "We are trying to defeat the Triune which apparently reside in this world." she concluded.

Acty nodded and replied, "Yeah. They are nearby. Just a few days ago they were throwing a fit about how pissed they were at a guy named John."

Octopus Man came out of the vault with biscuits stuffed in his pockets. "That's me, but don't tell anyone. It's super secret. So secret in fact, that it hasn't been mentioned for many chapters." he explained.

"Understood." Acty said with a smile.

Goose Man looked around and said, "I'm so bored. I haven't been able to do much." Brazilian Bug Boy patted Goose Man on the back and said, "Don't be so sad. You got to drive a car through Acty's palace."

"YOU WHAT?" Acty yelled.

They all looked at Acty nervously. "Just for that, we aren't friends anymore." Acty said, crossing his arms. Kookakoo also walked out of the vault with a biscuit in her mouth. "We talking about how we crashed through the ceiling with an airplane?" she asked

"NO! BUT THANKS FOR TELLING HIM!" Floran shouted sarcastically.

Acty shook his head in anger. "That's it. I thought you guys were my best friends, but you're just vandals." he said before pressing a red button underneath his table, that caused the floor beneath them to open. This caused them all to fall down a deep abyss.

The floor closed again and Acty, who was alone again, simply sighed. "Can't trust anyone nowadays." he mumbled to himself.
