IV
King Argos stood at the archway of the teleporter. He had used an official announcement to let the Royal Army know he was entering the palace. That is the custom for anyone teleporting to Diamondmoon's Royal Palace on business with the Supreme King. However, that also meant he had to go through the usual formal greetings and salutations due to him as the King of Neptune II. It also meant that he had to endure the two longest minutes of his life explaining his business here and being escorted to the Supreme King.
After the formal announcements were over with, it was finally time to see Alex. King Argos was escorted through a long narrow corridor from the teleporting room to a large waiting room just outside Alex's throne room. The room was brightly lit by a row of tall windows that let in the sunlight. There were two richly decorated sofas to his right and some other equally decorated chairs to the side of each window. The room was meant for visitors to wait in comfort but he didn't feel like waiting anymore. Alex would not make him wait. He was sure of that.
Just as he finished the thought, the big thick doors of the throne room opened wide. An announcer came from the inside and held the door open. "His Majesty, King Alexander!" The announcer cried out. Almost at the same time, Alex came out followed by a white-haired young male with a pleasant smile. King Alex made a small bow to King Argos.
"It's great to see you my friend."
King Argos bowed back," Likewise, albeit unpleasant circumstances."
The Supreme King gave him a distressed smile. "Lets figure this out shall we."
King Argos smiled at his friend, "I thank you for your help." He paused, looking back at the young male accompanying Alex, "It's great to see you too Arquimitris." He finished.
The cyborg bowed deeply and replied, "It's an honor to be in your presence."
"Arquimitris will assist us too." King Alex said, smiling. "I figured he would be of help."
