A/N: Although this could happen, it's AU to be on the safe side.
Chapter 2
As Nathan stepped up to the wooden gates of Charon Castle, he was nervous. Most of the painters went in these doors. Most of them got tossed out of them and he wondered if he going to be one of them. He put down his backpack containing his paintings to the side, took a deep breath and knocked on the door. He waited. All he heard was some birds flying and his feet tapping the board. He knocked again. "I don't think it takes that long for a person to answer the door" he muttered. He pressed his ear to the door. He could hear some muffled footsteps and a lot of cursing. He stepped back from the door to see if anything was going to happen. The door opened and a man was looking at him.
He was wearing the standard bulter uniform with black gloves. He was wearing glasses on the bridge of his nose. He said to Nathan with an haughty air "Whatever you're selling, we don't want" and slammed the door in his face.
Nathan was ticked. "No does that to Masuto Nathan!" he growled and lifted his arm. He clenched his fist into a ball and started to pound the door. After pounding for a few minutes, the door opened and the same butler answered. "What part of no don't you understand?" and tried to shut the door.
Nathan grabbed the edge of the door to prevent him from shutting the door. "I am here to ask about the job about the royal painter. If you don't mind, I would like to come in." He stated.
The bulter narrowed his eyes. "Fine, you could come in."
Nathan smiled. "Doesn't it feel nice to co-operate?." He picked up his backpack and walked in past the butler and into the castle.
"Punk" The butler muttered.
"Fruitcake" Nathan shot back. He continued walking down the hallway and past a collection of knight suits. He stopped to look at them. Seeing that his hair and clothes were a complete mess, he tried to straighten himself. 'I hope I get hired' he thought. After brushing off the dirt from his shirt and pants, he continued walking down the hallway. He reached the end of the hallway.
Blocking the end of the hallway were two guards. They gave Nathan the once-over. "Another wannabe painter." One of them said. The faces were as cold as their voices "You can't go in there." one of them stated.
"I'm here to inquire about the job as the royal painter." Nathan said.
"You know about the 40 painters the king fired, right?" The other guard asked.
"Your point, sir?"
"What makes you any different?"
"This" He took one of the paintings out of his pack and unrolled them in front of the guards. "This one is called 'winter fairy-tale'."
The guards studied the painting. It was a winter scene with animals. Their faces seemed to lighten up the longer they looked at the painting. The quality of the painting seemed to be very good. "This is really good. You have a really good chance."
"Thank you." Nathan said as he took back the painting and rolled it up. He put it back in his pack. "Now may I go in?"
"No." The guard said. Nathan looked mad. "We're kidding. You can go in. Good luck sir."
They opened the doors.
Nathan nodded as he walked into the royal courts.
***
The King and Queen of Pluto were sitting on their thrones talking.
"You said no to the last 5 people who walked in" The queen said.
"They weren't good." The King muttered.
"If you had your way, you wouldn't hire Michaelangelo"
"But they weren't good"
"No more excuses. You will at least consider the next person who walks in." The queen continued "If you don't, then I will..." She leaned closer to the King and whispered.
The king pouted. "But, sweetie.."
"Do it."
As soon as their conversation ended, Nathan walked in. He bowed in front of the King and Queen. "Your majesty, I'm here about the job as the royal painter."
"All rignt. Come up closer and let's take a look at your paintings." The King said.
Nathan came up closer and took out the paintings out of his knapsack. "Here are some of my artwork, your majesty."
The queen took one of the painting from his hand and unrolled it. "You have considerable talent--"
Nathan spoke up "Masuto Nathan, sire"
The queen smiled "Masuto-san. Did you go to any art school?"
Nathan shook his head "It comes to me naturally."
The king was shocked "You draw like this naturally, with no help whatsoever?"
Nathan nodded "if you have a problem with that..."
The Queen held up her hand, silencing him. She leaned over to the King. "He's pretty good. Very handsome. Doesn't seem to be a con. So what do you say?"
The king stroked his goatee. "He's hired."
The queen said "You start tomorrow".
Nathan was shocked "Really?" He shooked the queen's hand. "Thank you very much." he was really excited. He walked out of the room and down the hallway. When he was out of earshot, he yelled "Woohoo!" He continued to walk down the hallway and out the castle. On his way home he met up with Charles. He stated "I got it."
Charles slapped his back "Good job." He started to walk home with him.
