The Seven Founding Fathers Revitalize the Kingdom

Unforeseen Circumstance.

The founding fathers are suddenly confused after flooded by someone’s else memories. They can recall the past life of the former original user like browsing into your files on the computers. They also found that the new memories belong to their body that they are residing in. Their most recent memories are that a missile struck Adam’s residence and found themselves on their odd new identity.

The body they are currently using as a vessel suddenly gave them data on what happened to their past life. They individually investigated and studied their new memories and found something. Their name on their former life is the same as to their new body. Only their first name though.

“So, I’m the second royal prince of the Kingdom of Ametus, How about you guys?” George asked them after evaluating his fresh added memories.

But they have a dumfounding look on their face as they glance at George who told them that he is a prince.

“What the? How did you become a prince while I’m just a lower noble? Also, according to my memories, they died a year ago due to incurable disease” Adams said with a gloomy look on his face.

“Same here,” Pierce added, as everyone in the room nodded in unison.

To them it must have been unfair since they don’t have some identities in their new world, George is the only one who holds a title. But thanks to the former’s George, they have regained their identity by hanging out with them. According to the new memories. George Ametus is the second prince of the kingdom of Ametus. Ten years ago, they met each other at George’s tenth birthday in the royal palace. Being a lower noble sucks on this world as no one recognizes your worth. But to Prince George who doesn’t care even in ranks made friend with them, and thus occasionally they visit each other’s houses telling each other stories, playing hide and seek and continued until they become infamous drunkards on the city, mischievous pranks et cetera.

“I know but, it seems like our life is somehow similar to them. Best friend since eight years ago. Hahaha,” George laughed as he remembered their memories of hanging out with each other.

“So, what should we do? Do we accept our new life now? If we die on that day, then we just have to accept it.” Alexander said, looking optimistic.

“Yeah let’s accept the situation for now” Jay agreed.

It seems like they accepted their new life here in another world. The realist group who just accepted the fact that they have reincarnated in another body looks new to them.

They cleaned the table in front of them, earlier it was a mess, full of bottles of alcohols and left-over pork stew. They gathered again around the table although the tense atmosphere between Pierce and John still present after that last commotion.

“For now, let’s gather the information that will be useful to us even if it’s a little, as long as it says something about this world, we will consider it.” George initiated.

“Then let me share with you my observation when I arrived in this body,” Jay continued. “Based on the beams across the ceilings, the state of the wall, the furniture in this room, our clothing resembled European history, I don’t know which era we are in but is comparably similar to the middle ages.” Jay ended.

“According to my memories, Horse-drawn carriage are prominent in this town, I don’t see any hint of modern technologies in this world. The roads are full of horse dung, feudal society, no healthcare. It seems like we are thrown backward in time. “Benjamin added

“Even if it looks like a European civilization, I don’t recall Kingdom of Ametus on any kinds of history books that I’ve read it looks to me that not only we were thrown backward, we also threw to another universe where the principles are different. Also, there is a species in this world that would only exist in fantasy, fairly tall and movies. I’m talking about elves, dwarves, cat-human. This is f****d up.” Adams added.

“This country is multiracial, meaning humans and other species live in this kingdom in harmony. However, this country is facing a food crisis, financial crisis, and the threat of the demon Empire in the northern continent. Thanks to the prince, it seems like I have access to internal affairs about the kingdom.” George added.

“I agree with George, base on the life of the people living here in this kingdom are barely surviving each day. Food prices are high that can only be afforded by nobles while the commoners need to work from dusk to dawn, just as they can purchase their daily necessities.” Pierce said.

“That’s bad,” George replied. “It’s like running a country with a timebomb that will anytime explode. How about you Alexander and John? Any insights?”

“Sorry but, the others have already said it. This body doesn’t have significant memories at all that will tell me the interior of this kingdom.” Alexander apologized.

“Same for Alexander, those points have already been said by the others.”

The founding fathers kept discussing. Exchanging information one after the other. Just as they were seriously changing information about this world. Suddenly the door creaked, it opened so slightly that made them glanced at the door. They stopped talking and saw someone entered their room.

The question is who is that person? They looked at the person with a focused gaze, just as George was about to speak. The answer abruptly appeared on his head. The person standing in the door hitting her with their gazes is the chief attendant of George Ametus. Her name is Lumi Neileigh.

She was one among the few people who knew the real nature of real George Ametus. She had aided George since he was young. To have a such young girl to be aided the second prince she appeared to frank at him. Lumi bowed reverently to them and began talking.

“Your highness, your father is waiting for you in the throne hall”

“Huh?”

At first, George was confused, along with the rest of the gang. Standing before them is Lumi. She is the chief attendant of George, meaning she is the chief of staff. She stands tall, with an athletic body and has fair skin, she has short gold-blonde hair tied back into a ponytail with grey-blue eyes.

She wears a white jumpsuit embroidered with gold symbols and a diamond-dot pattern along the legs, a long blue tailcoat, and a short black and gold cloak with a blue inner lining. She is a beauty comparable to the S-tier goddess. Looking at her beauty the gang cannot help but sigh in admiration.

“Okay but give me a minute, I have something to tell my friends here.”

George said playing along with the prince charade, he does not want unwanted suspicion as they have just arrived here. He did not act recklessly or without thought, instead, this was in accordance with his memory’s detailed recollection of the way that the prince behaves, and all he did was formally answer Lumi. The second prince, George Ametus, was indeed this screwed up, inept, abominable, and did whatever he wanted. Coincidentally their gang is infamous for its mischievous tricks that harm the kingdom and the reputation of the royal family. In short, he was worried that being formal might tipped suspicion to the woman who knows every inch of George’s character.

“Understood, I will be just outside the door,” Lumi said and began to leave the room. Checking that Lumi is completely outside, they turned to each other again.

“What a beauty! I’ve never seen someone like that!” Pierce said joyfully, praising Lumi.

“Your praises can wait, for now, I will act like George Ametus and gather information about this kingdom, although I don’t know the contents of our meeting or the reason, I will hope for the best.”

“Yeah you should do that, we will play along with our characters,” Adams said, the rest nodded.

“Okay, I’ll be back,” George said and went to the door and leave.

…

George left the room and went to the throne hall along with his chief attendant Lumi. Arriving at the throne hall he saw a man sitting on the throne it was the king of the kingdom of Ametus, King Gerald Ametus. In accordance with feudal custom, he bowed and give his respect to the king.

“Rise.” With that word, George stood up-straight.

“Why did you call me father?” George began.

“George Ametus, I have something to tell you,” a middle-aged man who has appeared to be sitting on the throne before me. He was of average build and seemed to be attempting to sound majestic. He is 48 years old. Just like the other king, he wore a red cape thick enough to serve as a coat, and atop his head sat a gleaming golden crown. He also saw the gentle-looking woman standing at his side. She was a beautiful woman with pristine greyish hair, wearing a beautiful dress. That is George's mother.

Inside the high ceiling, rows of marble pillars, and beneath him a red carpet. Soldiers standing at attention at either side and mixed with them a person who looks like your stereotypical prime minister.

“Why do you look at me like that? Are you upset that I called you here? As expected, as my stupid son.”

His last words in his sentence, George was offended as he clenched his fist and look sternly right hack him. No one in his former world has the right to call him stupid unless you’re the founding fathers.

“Add that. So, since you said as to why I am here. Why don’t you answer it?” George demanded his clown-like tone that everybody was accustomed to change into an intimidating tone. Everybody inside the throne hall gasped at the unexpected response.

“You scum!” Gerald cursed. Just as George is standing before him, he can feel the tense atmosphere. George's relationship with the king is strained because he is inept, abominable, and careless. Due to his actions that damage the reputation of the royal family, the two harbored hate for each other. The Queen on the other hand despises George as well.

“I summoned you to this place! So I can enact my royal powers to disown you.”

Hearing that George’s eyes widened as he recalled his memories of when he was abandoned at the orphanage. It's his worst nightmare and it is repeating again. “You stupid scum! Why did I have a son like you? But thankfully your older brother is not like you! He is smart, cunning, and my favored son. If I don’t have that kind of son, I’m afraid that this country will be administered by you. So, in order to prevent that I’ll issue your disownment after the state of the kingdom. Cherish your royal title to the fullest until tonight as you will be branded as commoner tomorrow. That’s all. I don’t want to take most of your time here standing before me.” The king ended; George developed a hostile relationship with the king. Not because he is George Ametus, but for him.

The atmosphere is tensely stirring up, When he heard those words, part of his heart shattered. It was not him but the feelings of the real George. Somehow it hurts him to be disowned by his parents. George can’t feel a thing, he’s not his parents after all. However, there is something stirring inside his body. Hate? Anger? He can’t tell but he’s confident that those feelings are not from him.

“Is that it? If you have something to say then I’ll take my leave. I’ll truly cherish my last day here in the royal castle”

“Hmmph, you seemed to understand your position, George! I don’t need a son like you! You are a disgrace to the kingdom… Huh, where are you going?”

George can’t keep staying in the throne hall for so long that he got bored and walked away while the king was speaking.

“How dare you disrespect your father?!” The queen shouted at him, George turned around slowly and looked at her dead in the eye.

“Father? I don’t have a father, who are you talking to?” George said with a smug look on his face. “I’ll be taking my leave now so bye!” He walks casually at the throne hall does not seem to understand his situation, the people around the thought.

George leaves the throne hall unfazed and began to walk on the side where his room is located and his pals.

“Wait!” The girl shouted behind him, he turned his head and saw a familiar figure, it was Lumi, his chief attendant.

“Are you gonna accept it? Your disownment? George thinks it through, once your title is revoked, I can no longer serve you. Your father will prevent it, please George don’t leave me here!” Lumi pleaded, he can see her tears welling up in her eyes. He must have hurt her in his straightforward decision.

“Then come with me” George reached his hand “Come with me, even without the royal title I can rise and proved to them that I am not worthless and stupid. I will make him regret that he disowned me.”

“Huh?! How are you going to do that? You have no talent in anything, you fail at the academy just what are you saying? If you can claim that you can prove yourself then why not beforehand?!”

“I can’t tell you that, but I am certain that it will happen. So, do you trust me? Along with my friend waiting in the room, we will do something that you’ve never seen before in this world.”

“George you stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid!” Lumi cried and started hitting him on the chest, what kind of relationship that those two had? He understands that she was her chief attendant but why is she acting like this?

George stopped her by grabbing her arms and said.

“Make a decision here, come with me, we will defect into another country, I will make a name there and topple this kingdom. It's dying after all so…”

*Slapped!

Lumi suddenly slapped George in the face, as her tears began to fall on her smooth face. He hurt her feelings.

“S-Stupid” And ran away from him.

“Ouch,” George said in pain, as his hand is gently frisking his face. He returned to the room and saw his pals talking joyfully to each other. When they saw George with his reddened cheeks they were alarmed.

“What happened? Did you get into a fight?”

“Who did that to you?”

“You’re supposed to talk to the king? Why there’s a bruise on your left cheek?”

“Who is it? I’m gonna give him a beating?”

“Is there bad news?”

Speaking of their concerns to him, he replied with a smile. “The king of this kingdom issued disownment, My title will be erased and I only have a day as a royal prince.”

“Whaaaaaaaat?!” They screamed in unison.

“What the f**k happened George?” Adams said.

“It seems like this body has a strained relationship with his father, and due to his mischievous acts with you, it tarnishes the royal family and led to this decision,” George replied.

“Hahaha, that’s no problem. We are already past that, look while you were gone, we recalled our memories and found out that this body was alone since eight years ago. Imagine being lonely in the big mansion while his only acquaintance is all of you. Someone must have been playing us” Pierce said wryly.

“What is your plan now Mr. President?” At last, that word again, asked by John. George stood straight and said.

“I don’t know, we can tackle that when I’m officially disowned, for now, let us have a party! We can watch the state of the kingdom true the gem broadcasting system.” He accepted his fate and started to forget it.

The gem broadcasting system is like television in the modern world. There is a jewel in every vital place so that all country can be reached. They can be located at people’s square in every city of the kingdom, while the palace personally has in every royal family’s quarters a built-in gem broadcasting system. It’s like a modern projected image in the modern earth, how does it work? That is for another story.

The Kingdom of Ametus, George’s quarters, approximately 8:30 P.M, March 1, 1577, in the continental calendar.

The little gem placed on the table started to be lit. It was the start of the broadcast of the state of the kingdom, watching it made them reminisce, It like the state of the union that they have in their former world. The founding fathers are watching it saw how the little gem projected such an image comparable to 36’ smart television. Benjamin who has a specialty mainly in electronics began to pumped-up, curious to know how the mechanism underlying the gem works. George already answered reluctantly that the gem is worked by magic. As expected for realist Benjamin who doesn’t believe in magic, he believed that there is a scientific explanation in the mechanism of the gem. And he will be the one to answer it scientifically.

Back in the watching scene, the founding fathers are disappointed, the king is just boasting his achievement on the past few years but no plans, policies, and programs to be found in his long boring speech. Because of that, they started to lose interest.

“That king sure is proud to himself! Is that even a king? Just by watching here, I can feel he’s not up to this job” Adams said wryly.

“Is that the guy who disowned you? That guy? Bahahaha. I never knew that the founder of the founding fathers to be defeated by some old-dated monarch.” Jay laughed jokingly at George who is slouching to his seat.

It was a boring scene to them so one James decided to turn off the broadcast and plan their new life tomorrow, but George disagrees. He needs to study his enemy weaknesses, strengths, and how he will bring him down.

The venue of the state of the kingdom is just near the people’s square, It’s a theater where all troupes are performing.

50 minutes later.

“Hey turn it off! It’s getting boring, the king didn’t even have policies and initiatives in his long stupid speech. How can I turn off this thing… Ah, I see?” James is irritated as he tries to get the small stone on George’s hand that seemed to be a switch.

“Hey don’t I’m still watching…. Argh, stop…” George clenched his hands tightly as he doesn’t want to give the switch to James, but he is persistent not giving up.

“Come on! Stop it, James!... Huh?”

While James and George are fighting for the switch the transmission suddenly ended.

“At last, that boring broadcast is ended.” James is relieved.

“Huh, it's odd? It is supposed to end in one hour why did they cut-off the transmission?” George looked at where the images once were. He tried to re-establish the connection by opening it but nothing seems to appear.

“Maybe because the gem staff got bored and doesn’t want the citizen of Ametus to listen to his crap speech hahaha” Jay said jokingly.

Moments later the earth trembled along with a faint explosion.

“What the f**k is that?!” Jay alarmed.

“It seems some sort of explosion. Wait let me see.” George said and approached the nearby window and slide the curtain to the side.

“Oh my god”

At that cliché word, he saw what seems to be the location of the theater ablaze with fire as smokes billowed in the sky.

“Look at this!” George demanded, the rest started to look at the window and saw the fire from afar.

“What the? An attack?”

“I don’t know?”

“Did you just f*****g see that?”

While sharing their hypothesis, they can hear a metal clattering outside in their room. They are the royal knight’s army of the Kingdom of Ametus. One knight approached George and his friends.

“Your highness, we need to get you in a secure location,” After that he began to drag George out of the room.

“Mr. Presi… I mean George! Where are you taking him?”

“Step away from the prince!” The knight warned.

“No let them come, they’re my friends!”

“Understood”

“Wait what is happening?” He asked the knight who is dragging him. But he did not answer.

They are walking at a fast pace, knights in every direction walked alongside them. The founding fathers are barely catching up in the pace.

“Hey! As a prince of this kingdom, I have the right to know what is happening! Tell us what you know.” George shouted; the knight heaves a heavy sigh.

“Understood. The theater was attacked. There’s still no word on the king.”

“Oh my god.”

After ten minutes of walking, George was dragged to a war room inside the royal palace. It’s full of people but it's odd. It's quiet and solemn. Why are they behaving like that when there is a terrorist attack? Entering the war room, they all looked towards George who is still puzzled.

“Sir Algus!” the man that is panting like a dog suddenly entered the war room council.

“What is it?” Algus replied this is the knight that dragged him into this room.

“A report! We just got a report from the site, delivered by messenger bird.” The man kneeled as he outstretched his hands giving the mail.

Algus picked the mail, removed the seal, and read the paper inside of it. George watched him, he noticed Algus’s hands trembled slightly when he read the file.

“What’s the matter?” George asked, “What is it?”

“It’s a report from the site, it’s confirmed. The King is gone. The Queen, the first prince, the dukes, the nobles. None of them made it.”

“Oh my god” George just has received devastating news comparable to the 9/11 attack.

They are lost at the terrible news that they have received; some began to cry others mouth their prayers.

But that news did not stop there.

“Prince George Ametus, King of Ametus and the heir of the throne died on the explosion, your sister is not capable due to an incurable disease…”

“Wa-wait! Where is this going?” George interrupted him; he knew what will happen when something like this happened.

“We are enacting the continuity of the government, Prince George Ametus, you’re now the king of the Kingdom of Ametus.”

Due to unforeseen circumstances. George who is about to get kicked on the royal family, and the kingdom that he’ll want to destroy ironically become its king.
