Chereads / The Adventures in Camelot / Chapter 16 - The Artist

Chapter 16 - The Artist

Everyone was gathered in Arthur's court. Talking about various things.

" I think we should start, to sell some of my avocados. I truly believe that we would make a fortune " Said Merlin to Arthur.

" Merlin " Said Arthur while looking at some papers.

" What? "

" Shut up "

Then, there was a knock on the doors to the courtroom.

" Enter " Said Arthur.

" Sire. We have brought a man, who says that he needs to speak to you " Said one of the guardsmen.

" Bring him before me "

The guard brought the man before Arthur.

" Name yourself " Said Arthur to the stranger standing before him.

" My name is Leonardo Da Vinci. Oh King of Camelot "

" Why have you come to Camelot? "

" Your majesty. I have only come to fulfil the one duty, that God above has given me ''

" And what duty is that? "

" The duty that I have been given. Is to paint the wonders, that God has created "

" Are you implying that I am such a wonder " Said Arthur, and not only did Leonardo nodded his head, but everyone else in the courtroom did.

Then Jacob Said " Please oh painter. I request that you also paint my master. The Prince. For I truly believe that he is also a wonder of God " Said Jacob with a serious look on his face.

" Just what are you saying Jacob " Said Madoc while blushing, and sitting on his throne next to Arthur.

" Please brother. Pay Jacob no mind " Said Madoc to Arthur.

" No, I actually think that Jacob is on to something. Leonardo Da Vinci. I shall allow you to make a painting of me, but before that. You have to paint my brother " Said Arthur.

" Brother, you can not be serious right now " Said Madoc blushing even more.

" Very well your grace, I accept " Said Leonardo, and from then on. Leonardo made a painting of Madoc.

After an hour, Leonardo had finally finished the painting.

Everyone looked at the marvelous painting. Made by the genius, Leonardo Da Vinci. All the men in the courtroom stared with jealousy and envy of Madoc' beauty (Some men even started to question things) While all the women in the courtroom. Stared at the painting with nothing but Lust and desire in their eyes.

Meanwhile.

Madoc was sitting on his throne, dying from embarrassment.

" Excellent work Leonardo " Said Arthur while holding the painting. Arthur then handed the painting to Merlin, and Said " Merlin make sure this painting hangs next to the one of my father in the hallway "

" As you wish sire "

" Now then. It is my turn " Said Arthur, and after yet again another hour. Leonardo had finished his painting.

Arthur looked at the finished painting, and had only one thing to say " Why do I look like a woman? "

" I thought that his majesty would look beautiful as a woman " and just as Leonardo had said that. Everyone in the courtroom nodded in agreement. From the knights. To the squires. To the women, and even Madoc.

" Okay….but why is one of the hairs from atop my head pointing upwards for no reason "

" Because is excellency looks cute like that " Said Leonardo.

Arthur just looked at Leonardo.

Later.

Leonardo returned to Lug in the cave of the Morrigan.

" Ah. Leonardo you have returned . Did you accomplish what I ordered you to do? " Said Lug.

" I have " Said Leonardo, and handed the painting of Arthur to Lug.

" Why did you want a painting of Arthur in the first place? " said the Morrigan.

" I thought I could use it as a trade with Emperor Lucius for…. but before Lug finished his sentence. He had one question for Leonardo.

" Why the hell does Arthur look like a woman? "

" I thought that he would look cute like a woman " Said Leonardo with a smile on his face.

Lug just looked at Leonardo.

A few seconds after. Leonardo then turned into dust.

The painting somehow made its way to Rome. A guard handed the painting to Emperor Lucius, and all Lucius did was nod his head.
