Funnily enough, looking at Craig Gerber's twitter this is a real duty and someone was hired to do it. Just thought to make this a bit funny and such. So this is half serious and half just for fun.

Guards for each member of the family
Royal dress makers
Guards in general
Stable hands
Guitar man
Royal chef and kitchen staff
Weapon makers
Messengers

Esteban looked down the list checking each off as it went since more people wanted to work for them now that Shuriki was gone. So, it meant interviews for the new people and going through old interviews. So far so good, Diego Fernandez and Gabriel Nunez were going to be good guards and a force to be reckoned with he hoped.

However, he raised his eyebrow as he ogled at a duty about half way down the list and then looked at his abuelo. "Guitar man?" he inquired half amused and half horrified at the idea.

"I need someone to carry around my guitar for me. I can't do it myself forever you know," said Francisco as he looked excited at the idea of someone carrying his guitar for him. "I don't care how old he is, just as long as he can keep up."

With that, he picked up the list of applications for miscellaneous duties, such as the messengers. Someone had to do it and it would be a fun job he hoped. Just have someone carrying around his guitar for him. It'd be the easiest job in the castle, just stay near him and when Francisco called for a guitar it would be there. He was going to get paid well too. Just him and his guitar. Maybe he could find someone who played as well. They could just strum along some lazy afternoon.

Esteban paused as he heard this as he turned his head shaking it quickly. He pinched the bridge of his nose a bit annoyed then stared. "I don't think his position is acceptable."

"Oh come on Esteban, everyone needs to have a little fun. It'll be easy just some kid looking for his first job- Wait, no, my guitar needs to be protected maybe someone a little older."

At this Esteban rolled his eyes and slapped a hand over his face. Oh dear why him? He understood his abuelo's fondness for the instrument. Francisco Flores had been playing since he was a child and used it to woo his abuela into falling in love with him. He had taught his daughters to play when they were young. He taught Elena and Esteban to play as well. Every Navidad was him playing around the fire and singing carols. It was great memories and great times. However, just having someone walking around behind him made his eye twitch.

"Did you develop that twitch when Shuriki made you work for her?" asked Francisco as he got close to him.

"Yes," said the well-dressed man lying through his teeth. It wasn't like he was actually going to admit what he did to him. Francisco only looked over the applications thrilled to finally have someone else with him. Of course, he had a guard, Diego Fernandez, but now he was going to have his own guitar man! The thought excited him as he looked through the applications for miscellaneous jobs. Hmm, he thought as he picked out a couple of applicants that didn't really care for what position they got. None of them noted musically talented on their paperwork. Maybe it could just be another person that he could teach. That thought made him smile as he called out for the person to come in.

The first person didn't seem all too enthused to be working to just carry around a guitar. So, a person in the mail room. Then another person was going to be hired on to be a maid. Another person would get hired to work as a stable hand. Finally, a girl with dark blond hair and brown eyes came into the room as she was last person to be interviewed.

Esteban looked over the girl who had to be in her early 20s, maybe 22 or something? She smiled as she was in the audience with the chancellor and grand councilman. She probably really wanted to meet Elena but he hoped that they were okay to her.

"I'm Dulcina Padilla."

"Why don't you tell me about yourself?" asked Francisco as she talked on about some of her family and friends. Esteban rolled his eyes as Francisco only listened as he light up hearing that she could play an instrument. She played the piano and well according to her teacher.

Hmm, now that was interesting he thought as he pressed with more questions. "Last question, you wouldn't mind just walking around the castle all day would you?"

Dulcina paused as she looked a bit confused about that question. Everyone wanted to work with Elena or Isabel in some way. Not really caring for the rest of the family all too much. A couple of people were looking forward to working with him or Esteban though. So he looked at the girl as she thought about her answer.

"Um, I wouldn't mind. Is there anything I have to do in particular?" she pressed as tapped her foot. Francisco explained what he was actually going to hire her to do. It wasn't a hard job and nobody was too interested in just following him around.

She bit her bottom lip as she thought about it before nodding. "Yea I'll do that job; it might be fun. And I get to stay here and maybe get a guitar lesson. It'll be fun I think," she said smiling brightly.

With that Francisco got very excited hire someone to do his job. Maybe one of their new guards could teach her how to defend herself and the guitar if she must. Somehow he doubted that it would come down to that. It would be a horrible day if the guitar and the girl were in some kind of danger.

At this he shook his aware just how stupid that really was. Never the less he wanted someone to do this job for him. It was better than having to run back and forth from the music room to get the guitar and he didn't have some kind of sling to have on his back. Although that would be a new invention that Isabel could make one day in the sometime near future. He wanted the girl to have a job for a while though.

She bowed to the both of them as she left the room with a job. He looked at his guitar as Esteban rolled his eyes.
