The Entertainer/The King's arrival
"There you are." A voice rang nearby, making way toward us is the King himself. Wearing all the prestige clothing fit for the title and sporting a decent looking beard...Yet young and fit for who he is. I turned myself around to reshape my face properly, away from the gazes of others. Then spin on myself, giving him a low bow and greeting him while the prince with a bright face runs up to him and give him a hug. "Daddy!- Er, Father" He then walk one space back, putting his arms behind his back and taking a stand quite similar to those of a guard, his face shook for a instant but his smile sprang back quite quickly. The King smiled and posed a hand on the head of his boy "Charle, at rest." "Okay!" The boy chimed back
The King's eyes fix itself on me with clear disdain. "And you, I'd like to talk to you alone." "Huh? Me?" I said, looking everywhere in a amusing matter. "Are you sure you're not talking to this little devil here?" I point at the boy, already giggling. "...Or perhaps him! He looks guilty!" I point at one of the guard, who looks away. "Don't make me tell you twice, come with me." "What did he do, Dad- Er, Father?" The King smiles back at his son and pat his head once more. "Don't worry about it, go play elsewhere for the moment, okay?" "Okay!" He said, he then turns back and hug me as hard as he could. "See ya later!"
Both me and the King watch him walk away. "Look at him...One day he will rule the kingdom." The king then shook his head "...Yet it feels like he cares not for what he will receive." I rolled up my eyes and rise a hand toward the boy "My King, the kid is young. If anything a child that age should have only one thing on mind and it is playing. Don't you remember your childhood, sir?" "Hmph." He looks away, and began walking. "Come, we have much to discuss." He beckoned. His tone was grave and unpleasant, yet i could tell something was just amidst.
We made way to one of the various meeting rooms of the castle. A maid diligently waiting inside had already prepared coffee and set it on one of the table for the King himself. She was then told to come back in a hour. Shifting his attention to me, he then ask "Do you know why I've called you here?" Looking down, I've set one hand on my chin, pressing my index on my lip and my other hand on my hip, doing a small "Hmmm..." In a comedy fashion "Ah yes!” I snapped my fingers “You wish for me to be King!" I've let a small giggle as Charle senior, the King, has his eyes widen, ears rises up and takes up an angry look. "No, you buffoon!" He then advance towards me "You are a very bad example for my son, taking much of his time when he should be learning something for himself." He start jabbing his index at my chest. "He need to start acting like an adult, not like some half-brain moron."
"Hey hey, don't say that." I grab his hand. "Beside he's only a kid, can't blame him for acting like one, alright?" I said as i release his hand by pushing it away. The King then back up and crosses his arms, continuing his talk. "There is another pressing matter, the real reason why I've called you here." "Hmm?" "What colors are your eyes at the moment?" Uh oh. Not even I know that! Wait... "Erm...Blue?" He shook his head and point toward a mirror nearby. "Take a look." I gave him a confused look, and went in front of said mirror...And yeah, my eyes are green at the moment. Whoops! In fact, what i see in the mirror is a blue bunny wearing proper jester clothing...But i do see the problem. I usually have blue eyes, don't I? "Don't you see anything unusual?"
..."No?" "You are a tad shorter than the last time we've met, your facial features are different...And your eyes are now emerald." He comes closer, inspecting my face. I back up instinctively. "...And it appears the shape of your eyes itself has changed." I look away "How so?" "Take another look." Looking at the mirror, i can't really tell. I barely check myself in those, they're a luxury that i don't really care much for. He then continues "Your voice has not changed one bit, yet everything about you is different...Even your ears size." with one hand i reach for one of my long bunny ear and twirl it, I did used to have a shorter pair. "I uh..." I look down, then back at him. "...Have a skin condition!" I raise up a little finger in the air saying so. He raises one of his eyebrows. "Do you expect me to believe that?" "Yes?" I blurted out.
He gave me a displeased look "I've discussed this matter with my son, he claims that you are innocent of witchcrafty and yet here you are...Completely different looking." So that's what was on his mind. "And you believe i am a wizard?" “I see no reason for you to not be one. It would explain why your body is different...Granted there could be others reasons. However, I've seen you enough to know you can change yourself in a very short amount of time. While you have no reason to cause trouble at the moment...I find it rather alarming that your body is changing in such ways.” “You do?” “Of course!” He sipped his coffee and continued. “Only a fool would not pay attention to such details. If anything, you are quite lucky that my approach is unconventional. This is why I have a request for you...”
