Billiam still ranted about how great he was. Kojo looked at him with a bored expression. He noticed the servants piling horse dung some distance away and got an idea.
(That's a bad idea)
" You mean fun." Kojo corrected her in his head.
(I know he deserves it but you should think this through. You're not exactly in the good books of the nobles. If they find out that you made the prince do something stupid-)
"Nothing will happen."
Kojo passed arcana from his foot through the ground . A magic circle appeared under Billiam and disappeared. Kojo made a sudden movement startling him. The ground under him became slippery and the prince made a lot of awkward movements as he tried to gain his footing. He tried to hold on to the ladies with him for balance but the backed away, continued to slip moving backward until he fell into the horse dung.
The ladies gasped. The o servants just snickered. Billiam got to his feet,fuming.
" What the hell" he yelled. The servaumade straight faces and pretended not to have seen anything. The ladies came with napkins and while they covered thier noses and tried to clean him up but he slapped Thier hands away. He noticed Kojo trying hard to suppress a laugh and stormed off. Kojo burst into laughter.Sysyia laughted with him.
( Ok now that was funny)
" See I told you it'd be funny". A butler approached him.
" Sir Kojo."
" Hm,sup?"
" I'm here to remind you of you're appointment with the king" he said.
" Oh yeah." Kojo said." Where is he anyway?"
" If you'd please follow me" The butler said leading the way. Another butler came up to the one leading Kojo and whispered something in his ear .
" Excuse me but somethings come up. Please allow-" the butler began.
" Nah don't worry about it I can find my own way." He replied.
The butler paused for a moment.
" Very well" he said bowing and walking away.He walked down the halls in silence. He wondered why the king was summoning him.
A girl she bumped into him.
" Sorry " she said quickly before hurrying away.
" What was that about?"
( Beats me)
"Kojo"Sasha appeared and hugged him from behind.
" Can you not hug me at the least opportunity?"
" Of course not darling.I want the whole world to know about our love"
Kojo sighed.
The door to Kojo's room suddenly opened.
" Adriana!" A girl yelled. She was the same girl who bumped into Kojo in the hallway.
" Klara" Adriana said getting up from her seat. Shed barely done so when Klara hugged her causing her to sit back down.
" This is no way the princess of the kingdom should behave" Adriana said stroking her head.
" But I missed you so much" Klara replied
" Um, Adriana" Sharonesiad. Klara realized there were other people in the room and got up to introduce herself.
" Pardon my I'll manners. Good morning" She said with a bow.
" Um,Good morning" Sharone replied.
Lin looked more closely at Adriana inspecting her from all angles.
" What are you doing Lin?" Koniko asked folding her arms.
" Oh nothing just confirming something" She said looked at Klara chest. Klara covered her chest and took a step back.
" I'm just kidding,I'm not gonna do anything" Lin said.
" This is my cousin,Klara Listowell,daughter of King Gorges Listowell and Efya Morgien Listowell princess of Archadia." Adriana said.
" It's a pleasure to meet you ." She said bowing.
Kojo and Sasha stood Infront of the king. Sasha bowed. Kojo just put his hands in his pockets. Kojo noticed a man standing next to the king.He remembered seeing him wat back when they arrived.
" Whose that guy?" Kojo asked.
" Oh,thats the grand vizier,Cabolt V'ray". Sasha responded.
Kojo noticed Cabolt scowling at him.
" Seems like he's gonna be a dick."
( Pay attention,you twit)
" Sasha," the king began."You've been champion of this kingdom for decades. Even though you've lost the official title,many people still see you as Thier role model. Would you consider staying here in the Capitol. I can make arrangements for you to-"
" Withh all due respect your Majesty," Sasha said" I cannot stay here in the Capitol. You're already aware of the reasons why I offered to fight for this kingdom."
" Indeed" th king replied. "But please consider it. There's a reaosn. You see of late maajin have been attacking the kingdom."
" Maajin?" Kojo repeated.
" They're the demonic beings who spawned from the corpses of the wraiths." Cabolt said,as if it was the commonest piece of knowledge.
" Hah?"
(Oracle,wins ago the of a cursed true dragon fell into the sphynx lake in the principality of Ezkanur in the north. With the last of her energy ,she affected the fauna and fauna around and out of that mutation, maajin were born.They became the maajin army under Demon Lord Minatoti. However ,after the dissapearance of Demon Lords Minatoti,And Dona Krymson,they went into hiding.)
" Recently,the maajin have been acting up with sightings of lesser dragons has been on the rise. Which leads us to believe that the Demon Lord is going to be revived. Recently, lesser dragon has been attacking the Capitol. Our mages is only a matter of time. There have been attacks on other parts of the kingdom as well as reported cases all across the continent." The King said looking at Sasha.
" I go wherever darling goes" Sasha said.
" Listen Your majesty. Opal is basically the only place I know and the only place I feel tied to. I may be famous now but some people still see me as an outsider and Im not gonna try to change Thier perception since it would be pointless anyway. But I do have a responsibility now. So, I'll kill that overgrown lizard before I go back to Opal. That wouldn't be a problem would it?"
"How dare you" Cobalt spoke up.
Kojo looked at him.
" Don't get cocky brat. I don't know what stunt you pulled the other day but you should watch yourself." He said .
" I knew he was gonna be a dick " Kojo thought.
( It baffles me how these people still think your weak after your showings in the tournament.)
" I know right. "
" Cabolt" the king said.
" Pardon me sire but I must let this young man know his place." He turned to Kojo.
" So what if he's acquainted with a duke and betrothed to his daughter. You still nothing but a mere tool to be used to glorify this kingdom. You think I'm unfamiliar with the likes if you? I've seen the girls you have in your harem. I'm sure you must have been delighted when the lady Sasha offered herself to you,you bastard."
" Hey" Sasha yelled stepping Infront of Kojo.
(Won't you shut this guy up?)
" That's enough Cabolt" the king warned.
" But it's true sire. " Cabolt said."I know I'm being out of line but someone needs to tell this commoner that he's not anything special. We can handle this on our own without your meager force. But as a citizen you are to do what you are ordered. Be grateful the king is asking you personally."
" Irrelevant." Kojo said.
" That's what you and your words are in this conversation, irrelevant. With that in mind,keep what ever irrelevant bullshit your able to come up with in that empty shell you call a head,ok" Kojo said with a smile.
" Watch your tongue " the advisor said.
" No you watch yours. That is, while you still have it." Kojo said coldly,looking into Cabolts eyes ,his eyes glowing slightly.
A chill ran through Cabolt.
" W-why you-" he choked taking a step back.
" Well if that will be all then we'll be taking our leave" Kojo said casually. He glanced at Cabolt and left with Sasha.
The king sighed.
