""So... you are Richard Rider, correct?" J'son eyed him critically."
Richard had been with Pete, when Worldmind had informed him that the King of Spartax had requested his presence. He’d asked Peter to accompany him seeing as it was — is his home planet but apparently he ‘had other matters to attend to’. That was the biggest lie if he had ever heard one. Still Richard figured that Peter had his reasons for not wanting to return.
He’d never been a fan of Kings, and the War of Kings just proved his point. Of course, out of courtesy, and as representative of the Nova Corps he had to answer to said request.
Richard had opened a stargate and flew straight to Spartax. The Spartoi King’s first words surprised him, but he quickly recovered, “That is correct, your majesty.” Was he supposed to bow? Or kneel? What was the protocol in this situation? “What is it you require?”
