Chapter 6 - Chappie 6

Meanwhile, at the royal castle;

The castle was very lively that morning as preparations were being made to welcome the King of Bonehelm and his envoy. The castle was decorated in the signature purple and gold color that represents the royal family. It was filled with bustling servants working hard to ensure everything was in order.

Tables were decorated, windows washed, curtains hung, flags and banners put up and so many other activities were going on. It was a very busy environment.

"You there, tilt the banner to the right....It's crooked"

"Manager Warren.... right away sir" the servant saluted.

Warren Steel also know as the perfectionist was the manager of the castle. His job was to make sure the castle was in perfect condition and that everything was in place. Due to his obsession with perfection, he took his job very seriously. No detail went unnoticed no matter how small or trivial it might be.

Warren was a stern looking man who was obsessed with the color white. Therefore, he was always seen dressed head to toe in white with a purple and gold handkerchief in the breast pocket of his coat .

He made his way into the kitchen to inspect the food and make sure it was absolutely scrumptious. The chef and other staff who worked in the kitchen stood on one side of the kitchen while he examined the food watching nervously.

He tasted all the food and found out it was absolutely delicious. Well almost all, there was a strawberry and cream cake still left .

He picked up a fork to have a little taste when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. At the bottom of the cake , on the right hand side was a dead fly stuck in the cream icing.

Absolutely repulsed, he yelled at the cook."What sort of abomination is this?! A dead fly?"

"I'm so sorry Manager Warren, it must have gotten there by accident"

By this time all the staff in the kitchen including the chef were trembling in fear. They knew there was a chance that they could lose their jobs.
