And they finally meet the royals coming to Mr. Ping's Noodle shop!


Chapter 3: Face to Face with Royalty

Soon after Samurai got back to work, he met up with Okami in the kitchen and he noticed that a couple of people were marveling at the sight of the royal family coming around their village and Okami said, "Did you see those royals coming through the village?"

"Yeah, I saw them." Samurai replied.

Okami was pretty much intrigued by their presence, but at the same time, she's not really a huge fan of royalty because of how they look, talk, dress, act and their attitudes as such because they tend to have higher standards and she said, "They must be living the high life."

"Very huge. I heard that they're announcing that someone wants to date this princess...which is the king's daughter." Samurai answered.

"Sounds interesting." Okami added.

"Yeah, if you're not a peasant." Samurai said, with a scoff.

"See, this is why I would never do service with royals. They always have their noses up in the air and tend to think they're better than all of us. I mean, if a king tells me that I would be his queen, this is what I would do; I would slap him straight in the face and bite him in the royal junk." Okami added, with a slight growl hidden.

Samurai was pretty much surprised that Okami would actually do those things, but then of course...he has seen his fair share of someone crossing Okami when it comes to rude customers or those that want to flirt with her, but she crosses them in a professional manner that doesn't involve sticking a claw in someone's tail...unless she's off work.

"You wouldn't really do that, wouldn't you?" asked Samurai.

"Not in front of their royal subjects." Okami replied, with a smirk.

Samurai was a little speechless to hear that from Okami and he chuckled softly and said, "Remind me to never cross you."

Just then, Mr. Ping comes over and sees the two of them and asked, "What are you both doing here? The king and the princess are here at the Noodle Shop!"

"Here?" asked Samurai.

"Yes, here. Serve the princess and the king, please! We would love for them to have some of our wonderful food!" Mr. Ping exclaimed.

Samurai knew that this would be something he would never expect to do, but he sighed heavily and replied, "Yes, Mr. Ping."

"Okami, the princess would like some tea. And make sure it is not too hot or too cold. She likes it in between." Mr. Ping replied.

"Yes, sir." Okami replied.

With that, Mr. Ping walked out of there while Samurai and Okami looked at each other with a little bit of dread, but being able to go face to face with royalty could boost the noodle shop's reputation if necessary and Okami said, "Well..let's go and meet them."

"All right." Samurai replied.

With that, Okami and Samurai walked towards the kitchen and they came face to face with the royal family from South China and the king took one look at the noodle shop workers and he said, "Give me your best noodles around. And some egg rolls too and a medium-sized dumpling."

"Daddy, what is the biggest dumpling they have?" asked the princess.

"My daughter wants to know what's your biggest dumpling you have." the king responded.

"We have a Dragon Warrior sized dumpling." Samurai replied.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, That simply will not do. My daughter has to watch her figure. She can't have that kind of food in her system...especially if she wants to end up looking like you." the king said, with a smirk.

Okami was definitely offended to hear that coming from the king and that seemed to send Samurai in a shockwave that the king actually called him out in front of them and the princess groaned in embarrassment after hearing that and she turned to Samurai and said, "I'll take that Dragon Warrior sized dumpling, please."

That pretty much alarmed the king to no limit and he asked, "Nonsense! I will not have my daughter overweight with this...peasantry food."

Samurai sighed heavily and took the order anyway and he said, "Okay, so that will be two bowls of noodles, some egg rolls and one Dragon Warrior sized dumpling. We'll get that for you right away."

"See that you do." the princess replied.

As soon as the royal family took their seats, Samurai was fuming inside that the king pointed out his weight towards everyone and he said, "Okami...now I want to punch this guy in the royal balls...hard."


Man, the king was rude, wasn't he? If that was you guys, what would you do? Stay tuned for more!
