A mean king, a drunk and a sleeping loony
Once apon a time, a fine King and his beautiful Queen lived in a magnificent castle on a grassy hill somewhere in France. They were fantastic leaders, always helping those in need. Loving devoted and caring…well the Queen held these natural abilities but the King was a very good actor. Deep down he was a cruel, evil and selfish man. These traits were only shown to his servants, who knew quite well that if they told a soul they would be dead.
One day the King and Queen sat in their royal dinning room eating a splendid breakfast. Their breakfast contained fruit, eggs and bacon, the bacon coming from a pig that the King had hunted down the day before. On the table laid a beautiful silk tablecloth and the finest cutlery around. The Queen ate in silence as her husband talked about the kingdoms homeless folks.
"You know those homeless kids are rat bags. We need some good solid kids in this world."
The King grunted. The Queen just nodded back and absentmindedly rubbed her belly.
" And I understand that they have had a hard life but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have manners."
The King continued waving a greasy fat finger at his wife. He waited for his wife to come back with a retort, telling him that it wasn't the kids' fault and that they should help them.
However, the Queen just sat in silence rubbing her belly with one hand and playing with her golden hair in the other.
"Everything alright love?" The King asked.
The Queen looked up at him with a big grin.
"Everything is just fine."
The King wasn't convinced.
"Your all smiles. What's going on?"
The Queen beamed.
"I'm pregnant!"
Noooooooooooo! The King screamed to himself but as I said, he was a good actor.
"That's fantastic!" He said proudly.
The King didn't care for children and what he did two weeks after the Queens announcement was an example of that. The King decided to go and see the wicked fairy in the land and her three good sisters.
They lived in a tree in the depths of the forest. The grass and ferns around the big Oak tree (The fairy's home for those who are a bit dim) were very thick and the King had to use his sword to get through them.
He walked up to the tiny little door at the bottom of the tree and tapped it as gently as he could, for all know that one little tap could be an earthquake to a little fairy.
The King waited in the dark shadows of the forest. Creature's scurried away in fright at the sight of the King. It wasn't because he was a King; it was because he looked like the fearsome boar that had been lurking in the forest.
Suddenly, the doors to the fairies home opened and amazingly four full-grown women appeared in front of the King. He blinked in shock before taking in their extraordinary beauty.
One of them grabbed his hand and kissed it. She had beautiful curly dark brown hair and hypnotizing green eyes. She wore a silk red dress and had red roses in her hair.
"Rosemeta." The King said taking a bow.
Rosemeta smiled back as she let her sisters greet the King.
The next fairy had long straight blonde hair and innocent blue eyes. She wore a short blue dress and pansies in her hair. She nodded at the King, who said,
"My sweet Pansy, my pleasure." He took her by the hand and kissed her cheek.
The third fairy wore the colours of the rainbow; all except red as it would clash with her orange hair. She had gray eyes and a warming smile. Just like her sisters she greeted the king with a happy reception.
"My Royal Highness." She said giving him a hug and curtsy.
The King puffed out his chest and grinned broadly,
"Shower, how have you been?"
Before Shower could say a word, the last fairy pushed in front of her sister and she was not happy. She had startling black hair, black eyes and wore; you guess it, a black dress to match her black wings. Out of all sisters she was the most beautiful. She, unlike her sisters, was evil therefore; she was the wicked fairy.
The King gave her a very sheepish grin.
" Electra darling how have you been?"
The wicked fairy Electra poked him angrily in the chest before screeching,
"Alfred! Don't darling me! What type of father are you? You haven't paid little Timmy's child support for months! Give me a reason I shouldn't curse you?"
A little boy fairy waved happily at the King who smiled weekly back then turned back to the boy's mother.
"I have been busy love. I will had you over a million right now, it's not a hole in my pocket, trust me."
The King grabbed a fancy golden checkbook out of his pocket, got out his favourite pen and handed the check to Electra. She studied it for a brief moment before giving the King a cheeky smile and planted a kiss on his lips.
"Al, honey, what would you like?" Electra asked the King. He looked at all of the fairies before saying,
"I need some fairy magic."
