Chapter 7
Fuji was once again summoned by King Atobe. He pulled on his special Seer outfit. Every time he grew 0ut of it he got a new one, but they were all exactly the same. The tailor didn't like it. He wanted to make something different, but orders were orders.
So Fuji walked to the room where the King was waiting for him, trying not to trip over the cloak he was wearing. He had to enter the room with a serene atmosphere around him. The King liked that, it made the Seer more mysterious and that made people scared. Like Fuji didn't just tell them their future, but was also the one who would be able to change their future in a bad way.
The double doors to the salon were opened by two guards. Fuji thanked them before he walked into the room. King Atobe was sitting in a huge, but very relaxing chair. There was a man sitting in a bit smaller chair on his right side, with a servant standing behind him. In front of them was a woman in a beautiful dress. Within moments Fuji knew all about those people.
Tezuka Kuniharu was there too. Fuji always felt more comfortable when that man was around. Seeing the older version of his best friends face gave him more confidence. He knew the man would help him whenever he didn't know what to do anymore.
'You asked for me, Your Majesty?' asked Fuji.
'Yes, we have a question for you,' said the King. 'You probably already know, but this is Earl Yagyuu. Not only do we work together to make this country a better place to live, but he is also a personal friend. This lovely creature is his wife. We would all want a beauty like that, wouldn't we?'
'She is very beautiful,' answered Fuji and he bowed slightly to the woman. With his eight years he didn't know much about the beauty of women, girls were annoying, but he did learn to always agree with whatever the King said.
'Yes, that is what Mr. Servant here thought as well. He was caught when he was admiring her beauty from up close. It was Earl Yagyuu himself who caught them, but we always need two witnesses to actually able to say he is guilty. You can be that other witness. So look into their history and tell us if this servant cheated on his boss.'
Fuji was a little scared. Reading their history was no problem, but he didn't know what he was looking for. What did the King meant when he said he cheated? He cheated when they played hide and seek and he cheated in class, by finding the answers in the future or the past, but that wasn't something that happened with this servant, nor with the wife of the earl.
'Can you see if they shared a bed together?' asked Tezuka.
Fuji searched through their history again and indeed found them in bed together. They were making strange sounds. Was that a part of the cheating?
'Yes,' he answered. 'They shared a bed together.'
'We have two witnesses then!' said King Atobe happy. Earl Yagyuu had an evil smirk on his face. Fuji knew he had made people suffer again. He knew it would be his fault again.
'You lowly servant, who do you think you are? Your punishment will be death for the sins you committed!' said the King. He seemed to enjoy it. 'And you, woman, if your husband wants you back, you are a lucky woman, but if he doesn't want you back, you will be banned from his land and you will lose your nobility.'
'I do not want her back,' said the Earl. 'I'll marry a woman who does appreciate what I give her.'
'Wise words my friend, wise words!' said the King. 'Take them both away and punish them!'
Fuji took it as a sign that his job was done. He looked at Tezuka's father, who nodded at him. Fuji nodded back to thank him for his help. Then he quickly walked out of the room.
