Duke Raiden is enraged at the loss of his son..his eyes narrow " king ragnur this is not over. We shall return and when we do you will pay the price for this.
The king puts his hand up in front of the Duke to silence him.
" your sons disregard of protocols. his attitude towards my daughters savior, and the fact you alone attacked my guest as well. You have committed crimes worthy of death.
[ragnur]I shall pardon you, your king has already been informed of this aggregious action, and to the fact I pardoned you."
The Duke scoffs and tosses his cape to the wind as he walks away..." remember this for I will have my revenge upon the mortal, and you..my dear king ragnur."
Miya stands upon the ledge crimson hair billowing in the breeze. watching as her sister leaves the capital and goes to the academy before she is ready to return herself. Miya calls out to her sister.
Ariana waves goodbye sitting back in the carriage taking her to the academy. she utters something smiling beautifully as the sun shines and a tears rolls down her cheek. " Thank you...Reiji."
The king sits in the throne room as a scroll appears in front of his face. The king grabs it angrily furrowing his brow. " that damn scumbag...allowing his brothers failure and disobedience to be unpunished."
The king sighs " well it can't be helped" just as the king went to stand another sceoll appeared.
Reparations 100,000 silver and a gift that is being sent to your kingdom as we speak.
The king smiles " I guess he heard the whole story this time I wonder what the gift is..
Meanwhile on the way to the domain of king ragnur a shadow sits in a carriage tapping its feet.
[???] Dammit why do I have to be the one to do this can't father send someone else I don't even know these people or him.
Back to the throne room reiji is kneeling in front of the king. "Your highness ragnur.."
The king furrows his brow and says just call me ragnur soon enough you'll just call me father in law anyway.
the king feels a bit of pressure from his side. and far away in the carriage Ariana sneezes.
The king loudly claims " come on now miya I was joking..yeah just..joking no need to be upset.
Miya hits her father in the arm and becomes pouty as she storms out. Ragnur continues. " Reiji I am wondering if you would do me a favor?"
Reiji rolls his eyes "do I have a choice?"
ragnur shakes his head" you do but I'd prefer if you did it. I will pay the school tuition and housing fees if you do."
Reiji sighs " yes your highness but I refuse to be a butler." The kings eyes go wide and he starts laughing hysterically.
" A butler ...you..hahahahaha...id..love to see that it'd be quite amusing, but no I want you to look after my daughter miya her trauma still exists and you and her sister are the only ones her age she knows"
the king bows his head" Please reiji" Reiji is quite startled and hurriedly asks the king not to bow to him.
Reiji agrees to the terms and their discussion continues to the next topic.
"By the way the king starts as he makes his way to reiji.." The king holds his nose." YOU SMELL" reiji is embarrassed he walks slowly backwards.
the king just laughs and says "for helping out in this natter I also will allow you to stay in the nobles district...just..dont cause trouble..please"
The king calls a maid introducing her to him. this is Francesca Rosario. "She will attend your estate while you are away" r
eiji sighs "so now I'm living in a mansion and have been given a maid" Reijis face looks disheveled...too much attention..he says to himself.
Francesca curtsies " welcome Master reiji it is an honor to meet you" reiji says "likewise" and the 2 head to reijis new home.
Upon arriving at the 3 story house with a fountain with 2 cherubs in the front. Reiji looks around seeing the grove of fresh fruit trees. he goes to the back and sees an arena of sorts..
Reiji opens the gate to the house. its a little old but a esthetically new. Reiji sighs
" I'm going to need to get some money to hire more maids and maybe a couple butlers" Francesca interrupts
"Master reiji maybe it will be prudent to bathe first..." reijis face stiffens and he clears his throat. "please do go draw me a bath."
