King Roy had not been himself since he received that threatening message from the elf king and things had only gotten worse after the elf king had shortened the days.
He had every reason to be worried as tomorrow was the day the elf king had said he was going to attack them.
He was currently sitting on the bed in his bedroom with his hand placed on his jaw in a thinking posture.
'I've told that crazy elf king that there are no elves in my kingdom and he still insists on attacking my kingdom.'
The problem wasn't fighting the elf soldiers as King Roy was confident in his army, the problem was dealing with their king who he knew was a very powerful wizard.
He had tried reaching out to the other kingdoms for help but they had all refused to help him stating that they couldn't put their soldiers in that kind of risk.
While he was lost deep in his thoughts, a young girl who looked to be about seven years old came running into the room through the open door.
"Papa." She said as she rushed to him.
She expected her father to reach for her, grab her and drop her on his thighs but none of that happened until she reached him.
"Papa." She said, tapping him on his knee.
That touch was enough to snap Roy out of his thoughts as he quickly turned to his daughter.
"Oh, hello princess, how are you doing today?" He said as he grabbed her and dropped her on his thighs.
"I'm fine, are you okay papa?" The little girl asked.
"Yeah little princess, you know I'm always okay," Roy said, touching her cheek with two of his fingers.
"But you don't look okay." The girl said, looking directly at his face.
"Don't mind my face dear, I'm okay," Roy said.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure," Roy said, smiling at her.
The little girl brought her gaze down for a little while before bringing it up to look at her father.
"Papa." She called.
"Yes, princess."
"I heard the guards talking about something this morning." She said fondling her hands.
"What were they talking about?" Roy asked.
"One of them said that the attack was tomorrow and the elves still haven't been found and the other one said that a lot of people were going to die tomorrow." The little girl said.
"Don't worry honey, they were just talking about a tournament that's taking place in Phoenix tomorrow," Roy said.
"But the other person said a lot of people were going to die tomorrow." The little girl said.
"He meant they were going to die with excitement," Roy said. "Nobodys going to really die."
"Melina." A female voice was heard as a teenage girl stumbled into the room.
"Oh, She's with me, Diana," Roy said.
"I can see that," Diana said, stretching her hand towards Melina, her younger sister.
"Go with your sister now," Roy said slowly, bringing her down.
"Let's go," Diana said, grabbing Melina by her hand.
She walked to the door before turning to look at her father, she stared directly into his eyes for a while before nodding her head and leaving through the door.
"Oh, my little girls," Roy said, crashing on his bed. "I'll make sure none of you gets hurt."
____ ___
Michael could be seen in his lab working on his computer which he had moved to the center of the laboratory.
He was working on his computer while standing instead of sitting because he was also doing other things at the same time.
He was upgrading Nika and that required changing some of the components linked to her and also changing her programming to fit the upgrade.
"So what's going to be new in this upgrade?" Nika asked.
"You'll know when I'm done Nika," Michael said with his eyes glued to the screen of his monitor. "It's a surprise."
"A surprise, okay," Nika said.
Michael kept typing on his keyboard and using the mouse to click something on the monitor screen.
After working on the computer for a while, he walked back to the table behind him and picked up the flash drive he dropped there.
"I was up all night working on this." He said as he slotted the flash drive into the CPU.
"I'm always awake," Nika said.
"That's because you're not human Nika," Michael said as he returned his hands to his keyboard.
He pressed the keyboard with his eyes on the monitor screen and after a few minutes, he grabbed the mouse with his right hand and moved the arrow to the done option below.
"Done." He said as soon as he clicked the done option.
"So you're done?" Nika asked.
"Not yet," Michael said, walking back to the table behind him.
There were four rectangular chips on the table and after looking at them for a while he grabbed all of them.
"All I have to do is put these chips in your system and we'll be done," Michael said as he walked to the right side of the room.
He had his gaze on a part of the wall which had a small box outline just like the shape of the chip he had in his hands.
He tried to open it with his hands but it wasn't working until he walked back to his table and picked up a screwdriver.
With the screwdriver he was able to open the box-like space to reveal a blue chip, it was just like the one he was holding except that the one he was holding was a little golden in color.
He removed the chip that was already there and replaced it with the one he was holding.
After doing that he quickly headed to the other side of the room and did the same thing.
After putting the chips on both sides of the wall he quickly made his way to the elevator.
"I still don't understand the essence of changing my chips because I don't feel anything yet," Nika said.
"When I'm done Nika, you'll feel something," Michael said as the elevator opened for him to walk into his lair.
He walked to the side of the wall closest to him and with his screwdriver opened the square space in the wall, took out the old chip, and replaced it with the new chip before closing the wall.
He quickly walked to the other side of the room and did the same thing.
"Are you done now?" Nika asked.
"One more thing," Michael said. "Bring up the monitors."
"Ok," Nika said as the monitors slowly rose from below.
Michael quickly rushed to the back of the monitor to do his finishing touches which didn't take up to two minutes and after he was done he returned to the front of the monitors and turned them off.
"All I need you to do now is restart," Michael said.
"Restarting." A glitch monotone voice resounded in the room.
Michael stood there for what seemed like five minutes before he had heard what sounded like a tiny engine ignition.
"Wow Michael is this the upgrade, my extensions are no longer restricted to this area alone?" Nika said.
"Yeah," Michael said, turning on the monitors. "Now you're connected to all my devices including the monitors."
"Yeah, I can feel all of them," Nika said.
"You're also connected to one more place now, all I have to do is head there at the end of today and put the chips in their respective places," Michael said.
"Ok but I don't understand why you connected me to the monitors, I can only tell what's happening there while you're here?" Nika said.
"That's the reason why you're also connected to my phone, tablet, and watch," Michael said. "I want to know what's happening in a few selected monitors whenever I am not here."
"Oh," Nika said.
