Mone but no one wanted to be the first to move here. So, they came here to show that Mone was as livable as Peele. This building has been their residence since then.”, Keele said as they both got off the bus.
Kevin was mesmerized by the size of the entrance. The building was almost as large as the spaceship which brought him to Nole. Surrounded by gardens, groves and fountains the royal residence truly looked like a palace. He said, “This must be a tourist attraction?”
“Yes, it is. But remember that you are not a tourist.”, Keele stopped to make a point. He wanted Kevin to understand something before they proceeded.
“What do you mean?”, Kevin asked. He was confused.
“You are the royal descendant, there is no denying that. But, I hope you understand that some of us do not like the fact that a complete outsider who was not even born here is now the prince.”, Keele said.
“You mean the procto, don’t you? I knew it! He hates me, doesn’t he?”, Kevin quickly understood what Keele was trying to say.
“Can you blame him? He has raised many royal kids and has served many prince and princesses in his life. It is only logical that he is protective of this family and everything related to it. Now, he is legally bound to serve you as long as he is employed as the proctor but he does not have to like you. You will have to earn his respect.”, Keele said.
“Got it. The butler hates me.”, Kevin summarized the situation.
“Good. Now understand that if you act as a tourist in front of him then he is not going to think very highly of you.”, Keele explained.
“I understand. Can we go now?”, Kevin said impatiently.
“Yes.”, Keele said and started walking through the entrance which lead into the main hall. Kevin tried hard not to stare at the gigantic dome which had beautiful engravings all over it.
An old looking man was waiting for them at the center of the hall. He was tall. Taller than most of the hums Kevin had seen. He stood straight like a bamboo tree with his gaze focused at something far away.
“May I help you?”, he said as he looked towards Keele.
“Tomiri, you don’t recognize me? I am Keele, we have met before.”, Keele was surprised.
“I remember Keele, but he looked a lot different.”, Tomiri said in a monotonous voice.
“Aah, I understand. You have not seen me since my transplant.”, Keele said.
“Most certainly I have not.”, Tomiri didn’t look amused.
Keele was a bit startled by the bluntness of Tomiri’s remarks. Not that he expected him to be pleasant but it was awkward for him to be dismissed as a stranger in front of Kevin. Without taking any offence he proceeded to identify himself.
He lifted his right hand, with his palm facing Tomiri and said, “I swear that I am Keele. 3rd generation housebot currently assigned to Boriri of Ri-gardens, Peele.”
Keele’s palm was glowing green this whole time. Tomiri watched Keele and his palm with the least amount of interest and then turned to Kevin. He asked, “and sir, you are?”
Kevin didn’t know how to prove his identity. He tried copying Keele. He lifted his hand with palm facing front and proceeded to speak.
Keele stopped Kevin before he could speak though. He said “No, Kevin. You cannot prove your identity this way. It is only for bots. We are required to always tell the truth and in the rare case when we lie, our palms glow red. Thus showing our palm while we speak is a way to prove that we are speaking the truth.”
Keele then reached inside his pocket and took out a bracelet. The bracelet looked similar to the one Boriri had brought to Nole to show him that he was a royal descendant. Keele then asked Kevin to put it on. Tomiri and Keele both watched the bracelet, as it prepared to show the rating. Tomiri was keenly observing this time, for a change.
The bracelet took its time but no one blinked. It finally showed 100%.
