Chapter 3
Deep in the royal mine, two morons *ahem* I mean workers were talking…
"Ok, what idiot put this in here?" A young woman with pink hair asked.
"Oh, that would be me." Her tall companion responded.
"Hmph, well let us review what we are doing here, shall we?"
"But Alix, you already know. We are stealing gold!"
"Shh!" The girl known as Alix quickly put a finger to her mouth, "I hear someone."
Clink clink clink.. clink ..…clink….pause….
"Timebreaker, Dark Cupid." Acknowledged a voice coming out of the shadows.
"Master HawkMoth! You're back here early. I um…hope you had a nice journey…uh… oh! Here you are, sir. The last of the gold from the Royal Mine, it's all yours."
"Yes, it is very much mine. Finally!"
"I've been bowing, I've been scraping,
I've been lying like a rug
And for 10 long years I've
had to pay my dues."
The tall boy turned to Alix. "We need to tell him."
"No Kim."
"But-"
"Fine, You tell him."
"I'm returning home a hero
who's discovered mighty wealth
and what better husband
could a Princess choose?
Of-course I will take the jewelry
For how could I refuse?
Raise every glass
and rouse every cheer!
Praise that the reign
of HawkMoth is here!
And by marrying the Princess
I get all that I desire,
Even though she treats me coldly,
it's a sign of inner fire
For inside she's thinking,
'How can I refuse?'"
Kim finally spoke up. "Right, except for this one little problem, Boss. The Queen decided to marry the princess off to King Agreste next week."
Even HawkMoths's dog, Nooroo started growling at the information.
"What?! Making a decision without me?...No! I won't let go! It's... it's a….. temporary setback!"
"It's a momentary loss
And the moment that I get back
I will show them who's the boss
Yes, suppose the girl goes missing
So the king says "au revoir"
Then I find her, bring her back,
and make the news
Then the Queen will be so grateful
That she'll pledge the heir to moi
And I'll humbly tell her
"How can I refuse?"
When our ceremony's over
I'll arise and take the throne
And that nitwit
Bridgette can kiss my shoe
For the Kingdom and the miraculous
will be mine and mine alone
If the jewelry fits
then how can I refuse?
And so HawkMoth's plan was born….
