Chapter 12 - CH(12):THE FINAL VERDICT

Princess Leah was waiting anxiously on her balcony for the return of the masked being who spoke to her the night before. She began to wonder if the masked one had actually been joking all this while but her dark thoughts disappeared when she heard a voice from behind, "Dear princess it's seems you have been waiting for a while, I hope I haven't kept you waiting too long". " Hmmm.... I still can't sense you at all", princess Leah said with a swollen face. "You flatter me too much Princess. I hope you've taken a decision on the proposal I made to you yesterday". "Yes, I accept your offer but only on one condition",the princess said. Denzel was a bit skeptical about what the condition but decided to give it a try anyways," Go on princess". Princess Leah took in a deep breath and said,"I'd be grateful if I saw your face... No no it's not like I want to evade your privacy or even rat you out but I'd feel more safer if I knew the identity of my accomplice". Denzel was confused about the condition but was still open to try the condition," Sure when the time comes I'll show you my face". Denzel's words made the princess' heart skip a beat but she didn't understand why. Denzel reached out and handed the information on 'the Zephyr' Project to Princess Leah. " The location of this project is behind the document, all sorts of scandals have gone on but I believe by the time the humans have been judged you'd have done enough to bring Lord Kramas' name down"."Okay, I will do my best". "Thank you Princess, your complice is very much appreciated. I'll take my leave now see you tomorrow when the dust settles". Everything was set for the show going to take place the following morning. Right under the nose of Kramas, two humans have set a plan that renders all is years of planning useless but because of Kramas' arrogance he failed to see what the humans had been plotting. After Denzel and Princess Leah parted ways, Denzel met up with Ryan at a dark alley behind Kramas' home. They began to laugh like evil masterminds as they taught about the expression that will swallow up Kramas' face the next day and walked back to their toolshed room to be rested for the next day. Morning wasn't that far though, in no time Ryan and Denzel were being paraded through the kingdom streets again. Some of the elves ridiculed them while a bunch of them cried because they were going to lose a drinking comrade (Ryan) that day. Two of Kramas' guards led them to the throneroom where everybody except Princess Leah was present. Kramas' evil grin creeped up unto his face as he saw Ryan and Denzel enter the room. Everyone had disturbed and disappointed expressions on their faces but this didn't phase Denzel nor Ryan in the least bit. Their plan had worked. Denzel went around the town during the day just lazing around the town doing nothing while Ryan also discovered a local tavern, where he became a fan favorite for the other customers and drank there to his heart's content. The show Ryan and Denzel put up to the public painted a perfect picture of non seriousness to their cause but little did everyone know. The meeting began without any signs of the resurgence of Princess Leah. "Humans, I'm disappointed about what I've heard over the past few days. If word that's coming to me is right, the two of you haven't even shown little signs of seriousness in keeping your promise. I hope you have a plea to this", King Vishorn said as he rised from his throne seat and stared at Denzel and Ryan. The throneroom was silent. "Is there no answer.. I guessed as much your race is not to be trust", Kramas' added while the grin on his face grew wider. Ryan and Denzel were not without an answer but were just trying their best not to burst into laughter. "His Royal Majesty I'm not a man who goes back in my word. I know what the elves think about us but to think they just judge us from just a little encounter.. I'm very hurt",Denzel said in a sorrowful tone. Everyone in the room was puzzled by what he was saying, was this human trying to say that the elves point of view on their actions were flawed? Denzel got the exact reaction he wanted and he added on saying," Not only did I and my friend work hard on finding a cure for your illness, we were successful in doing so". Even was shocked by Denzel's words especially Kramas, had they underestimated the humans a bit too much? Denzel opened up the cloth he brought along in his pocket and a bunch of glowing green orbs were in it. "Your Royal Majesty, I am a man that never goes back on his word and this before you is the cure to your ailment". King Vishorn smiled,"I knew the words you spoke to me the other day wasn't the words of a fool and you've proven me right". Kramas was bright red not in embarrassment but in anger, how couldn't he have never noticed? When did they even get the chance to do all this? Kramas thought h was everything under his control and no mere human could ever go toe to toe with him but this time a human just manipulated him completely. Denzel walked forward and bended on one knee lifting the orbs to the King. "How many should I take?", Vishorn asked Denzel. "You may take any number of your choice", answered Denzel while bowing. "[Vishorn laughs] Indeed your a wise human, I'll take one then", Vishorn said as he amazed by the answer Denzel gave to that trick question. King Vishorn picked up one of the green ball and gulped it down his throat. Everyone in the room stared at him in anticipation and King Vishorn's expression became that of shock. "It worked! Not only is the strange illness gone, I also feel revilatized. Hu..Denzel and Ryan how did you find a cure to a disease even my medics could not assertain the cause", Vishorn asked Denzel and Ryan because of how potent the medicine they gave him was. "It was nothing really difficult one I'd known the cause, it made it simple to make a perfect medicine to cure the sickness ", said Denzel as he glanced at Kramas who had a troubled expression on his face. "As of this moment, I pronounce all charges against the humans, Denzel and Ryan to be let down. I'm extremely grateful for your help with these drugs, all the sick in the kingdom can be cured. Is there anything you wish to add". Am ominous smile appeared on Denzel's face as he positioned his glasses well (yeah you totally forgot Denzel had glasses) . "There is one thing I want..."
