[center][color=gold]"Your Majesty..."[/color][/center]

The pleasantly plump man with the hairy chest sat in the pool, a glass of wine in hand. There were two beautiful, scantily-clad women rubbing sponges against his bare back. He still had his large, obnoxious crown on.[color=DDB775] "A  little to the left, Beth..."[/color] The well-lit room had candles about and was overstaffed with guards and maid at the moment. Many were seated awkwardly about in the lounge chairs. They seemed lost, unsure what to do with themselves.

[color=gold]"Your Highness..."[/color]

A staff member had been trying to get his attention for the last ten minutes now. The young man grimaced at the view before him.

Edin's giggle filled the room, [color=DDB775] "Oh not there. You know that's [i]my spot[/i]."[/color]  One of the women looked like she was ready to cry. They exchanged looks.

[color=mistyrose]"I don't want to be here."[/color] She mouthed.

[color=gold]"SIR!"[/color] The man finally yelled with impatience.

King Edin gasped and looked over at him with wide-eyes.

[color=gold] "Your two youngest just stole a carriage and left with all of the Sultan's children."[/color]

He hadn't been sure what reaction to expect from King Edin, but laughter wasn't it. [color=DDB775] "Hahaha! That's hilarious! Are you the new jester?"[/color] There was absolutely no way that could happen in his high-security castle ground. His laughter boomed and echoed through the room over the sound of the running water.

[color=gold]" I'm serious."[/color]

[color=DDB775]"Oh are you? ...Shit."[/color] King Edin sighed then rose out of the water. 

Someone in the back of the room screamed at the sight of the unclothed King. King Edin immediately pointed at her. It was a maid.  Little did he know it was her first day on the job.

[color=DDB775]"Her. She's on the chopping block."[/color] King Edin announced casually as the woman fainted to the ground. He barely noticed people rushing to her side. [color=DDB775]"For maybe, I don't know... One thirty? "[/color] He glanced at his nearby knights, [color=DDB775]"You all free for one thirty tomorrow? I'll have the chef prepare me some refreshments."[/color]

Everyone stared in shock. An awkward silence filled the room that King Edin neglected to notice as he was day dreaming about the execution.

[color=gold]"Wait? Just for that? You're going to have her executed?"[/color] The man from before blurted out.

King Edin stepped out of the pool as his women began to dress him in an extravagant robe.  [color=DDB775]" No, no. It was a jest. Or... Hm. "[/color] He stroked his beard thoughtfully. He had not been to public execution in three long days...And certainly, the Alidasht guests would enjoy. [color=DDB775]"Maybe. Maybe not... Anyway, you. You go confirm that this fellow is not lying and we do indeed have a missing carriage."[/color] He had gestured to a trusted advisor at random to do so for him.

King Edin pushed the women away to tie his own robe shut. [color=DDB775]"I am sure this is all [i]Callum[/i]'s doing. That bastard. Should put him up for execution."[/color]He grumbled.
