I be of service?”, Tomiri spoke respectfully but with a disdain in his voice and on his face.
“Why don’t you bring us some Wake while we take the tour. Are tourists visiting today?”, Keele asked.
“No, sir. And may I point out that since the residence is occupied now, it is up to the prince to let tourists visit.”, Tomiri said in the same boring tone. He then left after a hint of a bow.
“I think he doesn’t like me either”, Keele confessed as he looked to Kevin.
“I am not living here alone. Not with him lurking around. If it was up to him, he would slit my throat in a blink.”, Kevin joked nervously.
Keele giggled, he knew it was a joke. He then said, “Jokes apart Kevin, I hope you understand that proctos are very loyal. He may not like you or consider you worthy of staying in the same room as the royals he has served before, but he will die before he allows a scratch on your body.”, Keele said. He then added, “Moreover, I can stay along with you here if you want me to. Boriri has asked me to be with you as long as you need me.”
“Thank you!”, Kevin was relieved.
Keele started showing Kevin around. They talked about the architecture and technology used in the building. Kevin was surprised to know how sophisticated and classy everything was. Royals seemed to have an immense interest in technology and a distinct taste for simplicity. It was evident in every part of the building.
A few housebots were seen carrying out different household chores. Keele pointed out that these bots were not as sophisticated as him. These were 1st generation housebots who were only good for menial labour. They are a regular phenomenon of every hum household, especially families with children, old people or sick patients.
“These are 1st gen and you are 3rd, right?”, Kevin asked.
“Yes. But there is a gulf between the two. For example, the most valuable parts of a 1st gen bot are its motors, gears, etc which help in doing labour. A 3rd gen bot’s most valuable parts are on the inside, the organic ones, which drive the personality and intelligence.”, Keele said.
“You said you had a transplant earlier. What was that for?”, Kevin asked.
“Someone accidentally reset me. I was dormant for almost 48 hours which made the flesh on my body decay. They had to give me a new body. This is what we call a transplant.”, Keele explained.
Kevin understood the confusion that happened earlier, he said, “A new body meant a new face too. So, Tomiri was not completely out of the line not recognizing you!”.
“Yes, he is not a bad person. He is just, sour.”, Keele smiled. “Although in my defense, the transplant happened more than 300 years ago. I was under the impression that he would have met me or at least seen me once in such a long time.”
Kevin’s face lit like a bulb. He said, “Did you say 300 years?”
“Yes, why?”, Keele asked.
“So many interesting things happened 300 years ago, it’s almost like they are all interrelated. Soboro died 300 years ago, ending the royal bloodline. Boriri comes to Earth the second time 300 years ago. Humans leave Earth to come to Nole 300 years ago. And now you say that you were reset accidentally, 300 years ago.”, Kevin paused, he was onto something now. “Let me guess, Igogo came to power for the first time 300 years ago. Didn’t he?”
“That is really clever of you, Kevin. I have never thought it that way. You guessed it right, Igogo completed 350 years in office, last year. He was elected for the first time exactly three hundred and fifty one years ago.”, Keele replied.
“What are the chances that humans were forced to leave earth at the same time when your last king mysteriously died?”, Kevin wondered.
“One in 25th power of 10.”, Keele replied.
“What?”, Kevin didn’t understand.
“The answer to your rhetorical question, Kevin. The chances of both these events happening on the same day is one in a trillion.”, Keele said.
“But
