Harri POV
After waking from the dream Harri quickly got ready for the day. A few maids came to dress him, but he was able to escape their grasps. A scream passed through the hall. I chuckled, it would seem Nike was unable to escape her maids.
I walked through the halls until I walked into the dinning room. My eyes widened. The room was filled with expensive and extravagant items and food. The Child King didn't seem to grasp the real meaning we meant when we said to inspire us with the world's beauty.
I looked to the King sitting at the head of the table, talking to his servant…. Neil, I believe.
"Such luxury so early in the morning….." Neil muttered.
So this wasn't a usual look, good to know.
"They told me that I had to prepare this is I wanted to see rain."
….. This King wasn't the brightest.
Neil sighed. "Goodness… If they wanted to bath in luxury, they should have said sooner."
I chuckled. Both King and servant finally noticed me. "This wasn't what we meant when we said 'show us the beauty in this world' or 'to inspire, to give us a reason to summon rain.'" I walked to what I assumed was my seat at the table.
The King opened his mouth most likely to responded when Nike made her appearance with a loud yell.
"HEY!" the click-clacks of heels marching into the room. I blinked and blew up laughing at the sight of my sister. She was wearing all pink frills and ribbons throughout a pink dress. Even a pink head piece! "Haven't you completely missed the point?!"
The King responded with, "Don't yell….." his eyes leveled at Nike's chest before her face. "I went through all this effort to show this to you."
I raised an eyebrow. My elder sisters may have been right about the King being a pervert.
"No! You didn't understand a single thing I or Harri said, did you?!" Nike yelled.
"What? How it this different?" the King asked confused.
Before Nike could continue I responded. "It's not about what you have, it's about how you feel about seeing something new. For example —"
Nike cut me off. "For example, those roses of Sharon! What an unusual color!" Nike ran outside to look at the flowers.
The King followed Nike outside. I chuckled, sometimes I wondered if I really was the youngest at times. I ate the food on the table with Neil standing by the King's chair.
The stars were out. It was rare to see stars back home, but they were always beautiful. Nike wished to go up one of the towers to get a better view. While I loved stars I enjoyed spending time with other people. So I walked to the guards station, and saw them playing poker. I smiled, a game was a great way to meet new people.
I walked out of the doorway into the room. The guards happily let me join in on the games. I laughed at their jokes, and cracked a few of my own. It was a blast. Of course the game wasn't for money it was for favors. Which was a better idea in my opinion. In the end, I ended with three guards owing me a favor, but owning two guard favors. After playing so long, I left with quick goodbyes, before I would have been sucked into another game.
On the walk to my room, I saw the King leave my sister's room. I raised an eyebrow. "Does that mean you chosen my sister, Sunny?" I asked as I made my way to him.
He brow twitched for a second. Then he humphed at me. "I am still unsure you are a male-carrier. I have a doctor coming in to check on this supposed fact society has forgotten."
I smirked, a paranoid King, or was it just cautious…..
The King's violet eyes glared at me. "Your sister wished to see the back garden tomorrow. There smaller, but there's a green house and a pond."
I smiled gently. "Thank you."
The King blinked at me before his eye softened a bit.
