"To what extent, Your, Majesty?" Kimimaro reiterate his question ever so slowly.
King Vaca felt that his back was already drenched by sweat, his fingers shivered and color drained from his face, this was the first time he felt such tremendous pressure coming from another person, when he fought against Avalo Pizarro 3 years ago, he didn't feel such pressure at all!
Gritting his teeth, King Vaca answered Kimimaro question instead of looking for an excuse, he had read that Kimimaro hated excuses, its better for him to admit and confess!
"4 identities...." King Vaca squeezing out his voice.
He felt unprecedented pressure coming from Kimimaro and keeping him to stay silent, however, it won't do! He had something he wanted as well, showing submission toward Kimimaro wouldn't let the other party welcome him into his circle as an ally!
"4 you says? tell me, i'm curious..." Kimimaro leisurely rested his back.
*Crackle.....
King Vaca saw that the objects inside his study began to crack, he nodded as he felt the pressure intensity increasing.
"I'm, not....sure, about....the first...one..." King Vaca teeth were chattering about.
*Crack....
"2nd...Is Ki, Kimimaro...."
*Grrrumble.....
"Nu....Null...." King Vaca gum started to bleed as he said the 3rd identities.
Kimimaro opened his mouth as he cackled sinisterly.
*Craaackle....
"Sa....."
"Thats quite enough!" Kimimaro spoke coldly interrupting King Vaca.
King Vaca lowered his sitting posture feeling that his back was like having a mountain resting on it!
*Booom! Rrrrumble...
King's Study shook as if there was an earthquake passing through, gssware shattered, books were falling, and the huge chandelier above them squeaking loudly as if it won't hold for so long at the ceiling.
Under tremendous pressure, King Vaca was actually betting! He bet that by revealing his ability clearly, Kimimaro would took him in as his ally! Heck, after he felt such pressure, becoming his subordinate would be okay too!
He bet on the ter dignity and honor, to make an alliance between him and the young Marine exclusively.
Just when King Vaca was about to pass out, he heard Kimimaro sighed loudly and the unprecedented pressure he felt suddenly gone!
King Vaca tried to keep himself awake as he felt dizzy when the sudden change happened. He held the edge of coffee table while panting.
Kimimaro clicked his tongue, Never would he expected that the young King in front of him has the ability to read his mind and memories!
He was careless! Had he knew King Vaca had that kind of ability, he would use his own Busoshoku(Color of Armament) to protect his mind from King Vaca mind reading!
As, he could only sigh.
By releasing his aura, Kimimaro actually just wanted to test King Vaca determination to become his ally, had King Vaca kept silents or giving any excuses when he was asked about Kimimaro 4 identities. Sharp glint fshed ln his eyes as he had no qualm to let the young King in front of him fall into some sort of "accident".
Thankfully, King Vaca showed a determination befitting his identity as King of a nation, prompting him to pass Kimimaro's test with flying color!
Under Kimimaro's colossal pressure, the former doesn't succumbs nor give up, he persisted to says Kimimaro identities until he was interrupted.
Kimimaro like to make an allies, having another ally on his journey could provide him with some help along the way, especially a rich ally like King Vaca who hold Flevance massive wealth.
Seeing King Vaca who struggle on his breath, he looks miserable as blood oozing out from his mouth and nose, his eyes closed trying to reduce dizziness he felt as both of his hands rested on top of the coffee table.
Kimimaro stood up slowly and approached the King, next he took a white handkerchief from his sleeve and hand it to the King.
"It's good that we reached an agreement, your majesty." Kimimaro smiled as he looked downward on King Vaca.
King Vaca struggled to keep himself awake, he said weakly yet relieved, "Si, I hope pleasant business together, se?or..."
Kimimaro ignored his polite tone in distinct on his earlier tone which carried the air of authority, King Vaca knew about his position under Kimimaro.
While it was true Kimimaro regards him as allies, the same couldn't be said toward the King. He felt his position was actually lower in this alliance and he accepted readily if that means to be within Kimimaro circle.
Seeing Kimimaro's back as he left the study, King Vaca slumped back on his sofa, letting his body to rest as he raised the handkerchief Kimimaro gave to him.
King Vaca raised his eyebrow when he felt that there was another parchment behind the handkerchief.
"A number?" Knowing on what the numbers mean on the small parchment behind the handkerchief, King Vaca put it inside his pocket as he slowly stood up and walk towards his desk unsteadily.
Pinching his nose bridge, King Vaca soon regained his bearing. He recalled some details regarding Amber Lead poison from Kimimaro's memory.
*Sm!
King Vaca gritted his teeth, wrath colored his face as he recalled the details regarding his ck of knowledge on Amber Lead, Avalo Pizzaro might had known the truth along with some past ministers.
Remembering on Flevance past corrupt ministers who were imprisoned, King Vaca made up his mind. he took parchment from his drawer and wrote something on it.
next,
"MEN!" The King voice echoed loudly,
*cck...
2 guards came inside the study room as soon as they heard King's call.
They were stunned initially when they saw how much mess had the study room become! Yet, seeing their King calmly sitting on his seat, albeit with pale face. the 2 guards stood at the ready.
"Your majesty!" greeted the guards.
"Take this, go to minister Barlow and tell him my royal decree!" King Vaca stood up and gave the guards his command.
"Right away your majesty!"
once the guards left, King Vaca stood behind a cracked floor to ceiling windows overseeing his city.
There were also something left on his mind, when he read Kimimaro's book, he learned that Amber Lead poison was already known by World Governement since 78 years ago!
Considering Flevance started to mine Amber Lead 78 years ago, King Vaca narrowed his eyes as he thought that World Governement had known the truth since the beginning!
however, despite Flevance position as one of the Reverie participants, they did nothing! This prompted King Vaca to allied himself to Kimimaro as the ter had a pns regarding World Government, as for what the pns was, only Kimimaro and him have knowledge about it.
This fact actually relieved King Vaca greatly, as he thought that the one who might known Kimimaro the best was only him for a moment.
Overseeing his prosperous city, King Vaca squinted his eyes which colored in hatred as he thought on a name of someone who was the most involved regarding Amber Lead mess.
