A group of well-renowned people from many kingdoms created a summoning area where they can summon a person from future thousand of years to help them to grow stronger.
The Emperor is excited, his thoughts about having a person from the far future who is filled with advanced knowledge and the era of powerful nations are truly thrilling, and willing to obey that person to help his empire grow.
As the ritual started, many are nervous, they can only create this portal one time and if failed they cannot create it ever again so soldiers extremely shut all the areas near them and went to curfew.
The portal slowly opened and they now see the person's feet slowly arising until it reaches its head.
The ritual is a success, many celebrated and kneel down to this person who comes from the future who they think is powerful.
In the person who been portal here in the place, he was confused but not shocked. "Oh, I have been summoned... Great" his voice is a bit young but filled with nobility and power.
Everyone heard it and started to sweat. They are shocked that even their emperor cannot do this kind of aura. The Emperor is the first one to talk "Greeting being from the great future I am the emperor of..." he was suddenly stopped but didn't dare to get angry in front of this person.
"I know you're the emperor just by looking at your... Dress" the man said calmly as he walk around and look the place.
The people won't dare to look at this person who just halt the great emperor's speech.
"Follow me all of you" they obey this man from the future's order and follow him. They walk around the Kingdom not daring to complain as they explore the area.
They do not speak, even the emperor alone. "Tell me about your Kingdom and its ruling" he looks into the emperor's eyes as he began to sweat.
"As many of us know, this is the great Kingdom of Warheim that been surviving for almost hundreds of years..." the emperor said as he was like a guide in a museum, explaining the Kingdom's greatness.
The others nodded and clap their hands at how their emperor said and even filled their pride.
"Okay I heard enough" he look at them and smiled "I am Arthur, and I am really impressed how you explained your Kingdom, not like those others who are too busy in leisure than controlling their own Kingdom"
It was praise but also not. They think that this person Arthur is knowledgeable about many things leaving them in awe.
"But there are things you didn't explain very well, let's go to your castle first," Arthur said to them.
Going back to the castle, they arrive in the throne room. On the throne, it was supposed to be the emperor but he has given it to Arthur.
"So tell me all of your names first"
"I am Jrag Warheim the fourth, Sir Arthur"
The others also said their name but Arthur will eventually forget them. Arthur smiled and said "Don't be nervous all of you, let's first enjoy a great meal and later discuss those things haha"
The others sighed in relief and quickly find the servants and chefs to prepare a large feast. Many of them hurried to say that their is a guest more powerful than the emperor and should make the finest dish ever known.
Well, this spread outside and many commoners and even nobles were shocked by this news. Many nobles wanted to greet this man above the emperor but were stopped by a group of soldiers. Some even tried to bribe them but only ended up injured.
They only look outside and saw many servants running around in hurry preparing items for the guest.
Arthur who sat in the throne felt extremely uncomfortable and order one of the people to get a pillow for him. The emperor or Jrag orders them to get his finest pillow.
Giving it to Arthur who smiled made them calm down. "finally comfortable" he murmured.
Arthur who is waiting for the event look at them with a frown. He knew he is in a very far away past that is not exist in history. He is in fact nervous at first thinking the king will force him but surprised that this emperor even kneels to him.
Arthur at first is extremely worried and has high expectations of seeing a beautiful place in the past but what he saw was truly a disappointment. He saw the so-called great Kingdom is filled with waste, commoners are so frail and sick.
The buildings are too plain, roads filled with mud and many things except the arrogant nobles like he sees in the books.
He also saw the waterway is too polluted and some use it to drink or to wash clothes. The castle is too big and filled with jewelry for design. The rooms are also too ugly that he even prefers to live in the tent of a beggar than theirs.
He now saw the dishes, he was hungry but now do not exist seeing the cooked chicken which still have some feathers and was undercooked. There are also some other dishes but he did not like them.
He pretends to be already full and lets them eat until they are satisfied. The others only think Arthur is full and give these dishes to them.
Once they are done, Arthur didn't even drink the water and asks them to let him inside the Kitchen. He was hungry, he will prepare his own food then have food poisoning.
"Give me some eggs," said the chef who quickly grab a dozen eggs. The others and the emperor look at Arthur.
"Scramble egg will be enough" he cleans a pan and asks them to make some fire. " bring me some animal fat"
"salt" they were surprised using a rare ingredient but no one dare to ask.
A few minutes later, the scrambled egg was done. "I made five of them and the four of it will let you test it" they went to a large table and the emperor is looking to the exquisite delicacy made by Arthur. "Now let's eat"
They copied Arthur who slice the scrambled egg and bite it. Their eyes widen and could not stop eating it.
Seeing their faces made Arthur smirk a little and continued to eat the scrambled egg. "The eggs seem to be more delicious than back home..."
Arthur look to those people faces filled with a smile but looking at his environment and their smelly clothes, he reminded himself "I should make this place clean first"
"Heee-heee"
