AN: OWN NOTHING. INTERLUDE 2 TIME.
While the curse was being lifted from the castle, a scheme was being planned in Belle's village.
Gaston was in his tavern, as he always does, with only a single lantern lighting the room. Sitting besides him was an older gentleman from a local asylum and his dumbass partner Lefou.
"It's like this…" Gaston started, "I got my heart set on marrying Belle… But, she need's a little.. Persuasion."
"Gheh! Turned him down fla- MMph!" Gaston shutted Lefou's comment up by shoving a beer mug down his face.
"Everyone knows her father's a lunatic! He was in here tonight raving about a beast in a castle."
"Maurice is harmless…" The old man replied, as Gaston slammed his fist on the table before throwing a bag of coins.
"Now the point is, Belle would do anything to keep him from being locked up."
"pop Yeah. Even marry him" Lefou snarked back before hiding in the same mug from before..
"So, you want me to throw her father into the asylum, unless she agrees to marry you…" The old man paused then started to chuckle
"Oh, that is despicable. I lo-"
Before he could finish a soft tune began to play through the town.
OST Begin - Man with a Harmonica
While the deal was going down, a man arrived into town, playing what looked like an old harmonica…
The man was riding what looked like a white horse fit for a prince. However, on the side of each saddle held rifles from another time or even period.. The stranger does not help the situation either.
He was decked out in a dark red trench coat, a beige shirt with a black undersleeve, black hand-gloves with a wedding ring on one, and dark brown pants complete the look. His hair was mostly covered by an old ten-gallon also in brown.
As people and even Gaston got out to see what all the fuss was about, they went wide-eyed at his face.
The stranger had deep brown eyes that looked war-torn and ready to kill, a part of his face had a deep knife scar that still had red markings on it.
OST END
He lowered the harmonica, hopped off his horse and then started to speak.
"What? I'm just playing my harmonica? Ain't I 'llowed to do that?" The man asked. Not a single soul answered
"Sigh anyways, I came into town looking for a…" The man paused and then grabbed a piece of paper from his bag.
"Gaston Legume?"
"That will be me, Monsieur! Greatest hunter of the whole world!" Gaston exclaimed as he then flexed his muscles.
Some of the townsfolk then noticed something on the man's hip but we're too late to reply as the man spoke up again.
"Alright good this'll be quicker."
A Fistful of Dollars - Prima
The man then lowered his paper and then started reaching his hand down near his belt and pulled out a Smith and Wesson 45 Schofield revolver just as Gaston stopped flexing.
"Gaston Legume, you are wanted ALIVE or DEAD by the country of France for illegal hunting and bribery. How do you plea?"
Nobody could believe what they just heard as the piece of paper from earlier falls out near Gaston wide-eyes as the rest.
"NO ONE DARES THREATENS GASTON AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! EN GA-GUACK"
Before Gaston can even dare, the man open fired and emptied the entire cylinder into his chest, before pulling out another gun (this time a Mauser C96) and aimed another two shots into the Asylum keeper's head.
END OST
Before anyone could even ask why he shot the second man, the stranger spoke up again.
"I sensed him being evil.. Wasn't a bounty on him but the local government had issues with how he treated patients… Also had ta's deal with several of those low lyin' sons'a bitches back in the states…" He paused, then looked at Lefou.
"Consider yerself lucky, small boy.." He chuckled, holstered both guns and walked to his horse.
"W- WAIT!"
"What is it? I gotta head inta the forests here.."
Lefou paused, then gulped heavily.
"What's your name?"
The man looked down, smirked and tipped his hat up.
"Phillip. Prince of a neighboring land and full-time mercenary." He exclaimed watching the towns folk gasp in shock.
They said nothing more as the man rode into the dawn.
Just outside of town Phillip stopped at a crossroads and was greeted with Raul and Joshua, still trying to find Maurice.
"Woah! Jesus! What the hell happened to you two?"
"Radiation/Tossed Down the Grand Canyon." Both replied.
"Uh… 'kay… Then again not the weirdest thing I've dealt with. Had a fuckin' caveman who can kill ghosts in an old gang I used to run with after al- sonuva bitch where my manners? I'm Phillip." The prince rambled
"I'm Joshua Graham, the ghoul here is Raul Tejada. My compatriot always mentioned your actions in some wa-"
"Wait. Phillip?" Another voice yelled as the three turned to see the source of a blonde female woman in a well-kept peasant dress.
"Oh hi ho- OW!" Phillip was suddenly thrown off his horse as his wife, Aurora yanked his ear.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN MY LOVE!? ITS BEEN THREE FUCKING WE-"
"Look honey, It's been busy but u-"
"OH DON'T GET ME STArted with… You?" Aurora paused as she now spotted the ghoul and Mormon mummy.
"Uh Phillip. Who are those two?"
"Joshua Graham and Raul. Don't ask. Anyways, what are you doing here? And can you let go of my ear?" He pleaded.
"Oh! Sorry, Love!" She yelped as she let go of his ear before continuing.
"First off Phillip, I was trying to find you. Ya know how hard it was? I had to go through the shit show that is the hundred-acre woods and ask for your whereabouts.."
"Ain't that the place with the oso chino?"
"Yes. But anyways, enough is enough honey. I'm coming with you on these bounty missions." She exclaimed
"I don't know much about you child, but do you have good marksmanship and trigger discipline?" Our lovable mummy replied before YET ANOTHER fucking voice was heard in the woods
"RUN BAMBI!"
Before anyone could reply, Aurora then grabbed a marlin rifle from out of her back, and shot a clear round through a doe's head. Killing it instantly.
"Does that answer your question?"
Joshua and Raul said nothing more while they witnessed the young couple rush to each-others arms and kissed furiously before breaking away just a few seconds later.
"Aurora… Your the best thing that's ever ha-"
"Now I know you two want to absolutely be in each-others arms until the second coming of our Lord, but me and Raul have a Mission. Are you coming or not?" Joshua Interrupted
"Uh, sure!" Phillip answered as he saddled onto Samson again. "Let's kick some sand Samson. HYAH!"
"Is your husband always this happy, child?"
"Yep.. But I more or less blame that on our walks Once Upon a Dream-"
"Por favor no cante señorita…" Raul replied back as the camera faded away from the wooded forest.
AN: SWEET LORD THAT WAS A LONG ONE TO WRITE.
Okay so. You may be confused about my take on Prince Phillip. I'll gladly explain it!
Basically, me and two great close friends of mine have a Red Dead Online gang of the weirdest yet funniest combo possible.
The leader and closest friend of mine is a normal army man. (Off topic but as of right now is going through deep IRL issues with work and personal issues I don't want to delve into. If he disappears, I'll carry the legacy in here), The second bud is literally a caveman that escaped the sanatorium, and mine is just Prince Phillip who found his way on US Soil.
Aurora hated that she left him so she taught herself how to use weapons and hid it till well.. This insanely long interlude.
Now then, glad to see people sticking to this wild ride of mine. Buckle in, cause when I get time to write I'll go all in on a little secret for Six.
