Chapter 7: A call to castle duty
Later the mayor of the city, a band and some kids were throwing flyers prading around and celebrating about the success of the battle. As many citizens picked up the flyers and read about the war going on as a puppet dressed as a prostitute walked by 2 female imps talking without noticing.
Meanwhile Frizzaroli now his skin color back to normal was laying in his bedroom which was beautuffly decorated as he was dressed in a loose shirt top and red shorts sans his cap breathing a bit as he laid on a large fluffy bed leaning on a pillow with his eyes drooping a bit as if exhausted as a knock was heard as Ozzie steeped in with a tray with a cup on it "I brought you some tea would you like some?" Asked Ozzie now a little boy politely and calmly. Dispute Frizzarolis temper tantrum's he had it in his heart to forgive the jester like imp after seeing how small and vulnerable he looked once calm down. The only response was a simple shake of his head "Oh, ok *Puts it on the stand near his bed* I'll let you rest some more, the tea is right there if you need it" he said gently" he said as he turned to leave "Ozzie…wait" he said gently as Ozzie walked back "Yes? Do you need some flavoring?" Asked Ozzie as Frizzaroli shook his head no as he patted the bed as Ozzie jumped on as Frizzaroli looked at the little blue chick but before he could respond…a black rock above the bed glittered as he opened his eyes revealing his eyes which looks darken a bit as he gasped "Valatino is trying to find my castle" he said "I saw his henchmen at the harbor today…do you think he founded us?" He asked worried as instead of answering Frizzaroli just turned to the side sighing "I'm such a coward, all I do is hide and pretend, and all this magic, all the praise I got when I assisted Mammon…I just pushed all I hold close away, amazing Blitzo didnt give up on me, I cant stand how scared I am" he said.
"Then how come that pimp is after you alot" said Ozzie curious as the imp looked at the chick "He was once so beautiful so I persuaded him…then I soon realized he was ugly inside and out and so as usual for who I was I just ran away" said Frizzaroli sadly as Ozzie crawled up and took his metal hand into his worried "You realize you have a more serious problem" said Ozzie "I know, I cant run much longer especially from my mom, I have to report for duty at the palace as Marque, Al Capone and Jessie James, maybe I should had stayed with Mammon if I knew this would be bad" said Frizzaroli as Ozzie was surprised "You worked with mammon?" Asked Ozzie "for 5 years I did after I left my mamas training I was selfish and wanted more so I left and joined Mammons circus but like the selfish coward I was in using my moms name to keep out of a contract I ran away when I felt I didnt need him changing my form and name, I will use as many as I can to keep my freedom" said Frizzaroli in a tone of regret as he saw what Mammon was like "Then tell Lord Lucifer you dont want to go" said Ozzie as Frizzaroli pointed to a framed piece of paper "See that? That is the oath I took when I entered the royal Sorcerer academy ran by my mom, it means I have to report to the palace when summoned, makes me jelious Blitzo didnt sign such a piece of paper and bowed out" he said with a sad smile as Ozzie got an idea.
"You know Frizzi, you should see the king" said Ozzie confusing the imp as the small chick stood up excited "Give him a piece of your mind! Tell him this war is pointless and you refuse to take part of this what do you say?" Said Ozzie as Frizzaroli scoffed "You obviously dont know what these people are like" said Frizzaroli 'trust me Foggy I do' thought Ozzie knowing what the rich and royal are like in his adult form "He is our king surely he would like to hear what his citizens have to say" said Ozzie as Frizzaroli grinned big and jumped out of bed litany as he grabbed the small chick surprising him "I got it! Why dont you go to the palace for me?" Asked Frizzaroli confusing Ozzie "What do you mean?" Asked Ozzie
"Just say you are the adopted Nephew of Marque, and say that your Uncle is such a cowardly wizard and won't even show his face! Then maybe Arabella would give up on me!" Said Frizzaroli confusing Ozzie "Who is Arabella?" Asked Ozzie as Frizzaroli placed the chick down "A women that terrifies me to no end and even scares some of the other sins.
Minutes later Ozzie was getting dressed in a green and purple suit that fit his tiny body and a cute top hat and red gloves with purple hearts on the back "Now she may look like a hellborn fox demon but she is a powerful sinner" said Moxxie helping Ozzie get dressed "She also taught me but I stepped out when I learned I wasn't patient or wanted to fully learn beyond learning animal communication, transformation and illusions she is understanding but she can get scary when mad" said Blitzo as Frizzaroi saw Ozzie put on his old top hat as he wrapped himself in a fuzzy bathrobe as he sighed in disappointment "You are wearing that hat even after the magic I used to make your outfit cute?" He asked "Just be careful Ozzie" said Loona worried for the little chick "And good luck" said Octavia and Stolas and Millie in unison as Bakugo waved as Kirishima smiled and waved as Ozzie switched the knob to red Frizzaroli then placed a ring on his finger with a mysterious smile "This charm will guarantee a safe return, dont worry I will follow you in disguise" said Frizzaroli as Ozzie blushed but nodded as he stepped out into pentagram city the capital as he stood out as Frizzaroli closed the door leaving Ozzie alone.
Taking a breath Ozzie looked at the ring "Why do I feel like its a bad idea?" He pondered as he took off down the street to the large manor that was home to Bella. As he continued down he saw a Murrow perched on a lamppost "wonder what he would disguise himself as? Surely not a Murkrow he is too colorful for that" he pondered as he continued through town as he then saw a flock of pidoves and Swellows perched on a statue and on the ground "No not a Swellow that will ruin the disguise" said Ozzie continued on as the birds flapped away just as a hi-tech biplane flew overhead as a female sinner was laughing as Ozzie "Hummm, maybe a female" he pondered as he sighed as he saw he was at the half way mark to the manor as he sighed "Being so small and limited magic is so hard" he said as he continued pushing on to the large building.
However he had to slow down as he saw in the middle of the bustle of the city holding onto a pole was a little imp boy dressed in a short sleeved green shirt with a purple striped shirt underneath and red shorts, he had wide yellow eyes, white hair and a dusting of freckles on his cheeks but to Ozzies surprise was the broken horns on his head. When he saw Ozzie pass by him the little imp boy carefully ran after the chick and grabbed Ozzies tail feathers surprising him as he saw the impling "Frizzaroli? You disguised yourself as a little imp?" He asked as the impling tilted his head and didnt respond "Um Froggy? Can you say anything?" He asked as the imp didnt respond "Fine keep silent" he said as he continued on with the imp still holding onto his tail feathers "*Holds his hand out* why no hold my hand its much better then holding onto my tail feathers" said Ozzie as the imp grabbed it "I cant believe you didnt think of something useful, you know how hard it is for grown ups to take kids seriously" he said as the imp was just silent but cutly tilted his head.
Ozzie couldn't stay to mad as he admits Frizzaroli looking like that was cute as he smiled a bit but looked up and saw a familiar carriage carried by familiar puppets close to Ozzie as he gently pulled the imp child close to keep him safe as the curtain pulled back to reveal Valatino evil grinning face "Well well look who's here? The weak and childish lust prince" he said Maliciously as Ozzie just stared ahead on the road keeping a tight grip on the imp boy "Did you deliver my little love letter to Frizzaroli?" He asked as Ozzie continued to keep his eyes on the road as he side glanced on the imp boy who was glaring at Valatino sideways "Who's he doing anyway?" Asked Valatino "He's acting like a child, and he works me to the bones as a cleaning boy" he said as Valatino chuckled "How cute and delightful, so tell me what buisness do you have at the palace?" He asked "Job-hunting, I'm sick of working for Frizzaroli and you?" Asked Ozzie
"I received a royal invitation, that idiot fox finally realizes just how much she needs my powers" said Valatino smugly "Oh if you are that great why dont you remove the spell on me?" Asked Ozzie "Sorry hon, my talent lies in casting spells not breaking them, by runt" he said not at all caring as he closed his curtain as his puppets ran ahead of him as Ozzies face burned a bright red "Now wait there you old pimp! *Runs after him holding the imp boys hand dragging him* you get back here right now! *Slows down looking at the imp boy and huffed* If I didnt have to worry about you I would had clobbered that pimp senseless" said Ozzie.
As the puppets walked through the gates of the castle, they started to fall apart until they fell apart into a pile of wood as the carriage dropped ungracefully as Ozzie and the impling stepped through and saw this as the little prince of lust smirked "What on earth is going on!?" Yelled Valatino peeking out his window as a Robotic sinner named Sideswipe (RID) spoke up "Sorry sir, but there are no vehicles beyond this point you must continue on foot" he said as Valatino growled "That fox…if he irks me one more time, I will show what that sinner really is!" He mutters as he got out of his carriage as Ozzie and the imp boy approached the stairs as he took a breath "I can do this, just need to act natural *Looks at the imp boy* stay close young one" said Ozzie as the impling nodded as they started to make there way up a very long flight of stairs as Valatino was having trouble as Ozzie saw that Valatino was slowly puffing up as his arms seem to swell up as well as his legs as hs stomach was pauching up as his face looked swollen and oddly wrinkly "Wried, but come on Frizzi" said Ozzie as he carefully guided the imp boy up the stairs as he looked down as Valatino was catching up as he decided to sit with the imp boy to watch the moth sin who was looking severally overweight and old and was having trouble and was sweating profusely "Wait help…I cant make it" he said panting as his chest moobs were pressing on his coat along with his swelling belly as Ozzie smirked "What did you say? Something about how you can remove the spell on me?" Asked Ozzie cheeky as he and the imp boy continue up slowly "I told…you…I make spells…not break them…" he snapped weakly as Ozzie grinend teasingly "Sorry cant help you bye" he said as he continued up "Better start studying byyyye" he said as Valatino slowed down "Where did that boy get such energy from? Must be nice to be super young when you are not under a spell" he muttered.
As they got halfway there Ozzie paused as the impling panted tired as he sat down so the impling can rest as he made hand gestures "I guess you are mute but I guess you are saying thanks" asked Ozzie as the impling nodded as the duo rested and saw Valatino struggling up the stairs "Just give up you look like you are about to die" said Ozzie as the overweight looking moth growled "I waited years to be invited here *gets sad* ever since Bella banished me to the wastes and cursed me!" He yelled as Ozzie got up and took the impling boys hand "Hummm good luck in your futile effort, to bad I am not an adult and have my full power or I help you up" he said as he and 'frizzaroli' and started his way up as Valatino growled "YOU BRAT! NEXT TIME I WILL TURN YOU INTO A OLD MAN AND MAKE YOU SENILE!" Growled Valatino as the two children made it to the top entrance as they caught there breaths as Ozzie got cheeky as he yelled encouragement "Almost there! You can make it!" He yelled as a fox tailed sinner guard named Toma (D-Grayman) approached the chick and impling as his eyes widened seeing the impling "All guests follow me" he said as Ozzie looked down and saw the growing sized Valatino who's cloak was getting tight to ripping but it held strong.
"You should go and help him" said Ozzie as Toma shook his head "Sorry I am forbidden to help" he said as Ozzie turned his back to watch Valatino as he thought it was a horrible thing. As he was distracted Toma looked at the impling who was shuffling his feet shyly as Toma gestured his hands 'Oliver you know its not safe to leave the palace without either a interpreter or your hearing aids you know that scares your grandmother' signed Toma as Oliver did the same sighs 'I know Toma but I didnt want any special treatment or for others to know my adopted grandma is the high overlord' the now named Oliver signed as Ozzie yelled that Valatino can make it as the old and pudgy moth got to the top "Are you sure you are not a wizard?" Said Ozie cheeky "Oh shut up" he barked.
The threesome guided by Toma walked inside the place as a voice announced ' and Valatino' "Better pull yourself together I dont think would like it that you look like a blob" said Ozzie as Valatino gave a look to the tiny chick "Marque? Why does that name ring a bell?" He asked as Ozzie made up an excuse "That was the name of what you call that tacky bar I ran, dont you remember or are you that senile?" He asked lying. To tired to make a come-back Valatino just stared "Is that what it was?" He asked as they arrived to a fancy room where a chair stood in the middle of the room. "CHAIR!" Yelled Valatino as he waddled to the chair and sat in it as his fat seem to spread on his stretched cloak as his hat fell off revealing his antenne as Ozzie shook his head as he noticed Oliver walking away into another room "Frizzaroli get back here!" He yelled but Oliver didnt hear as he left as Ozzie followed "Where is that goofy jester heading now" said Ozzie as Oliver approached a door as it opened revealing a mechanical sinner twins named Rumble and Frenzy "This way please" said Rumble as Frenzy took Olivers hand and sighed 'your Grandmother was worried for you and can you please not run out with out a hearing aid or a interpreter' signed Frenzy as the two walked through the door.
Valatino who was relaxing in the chair was surprised when a curtain opened revealing a giant light bulb as he became nervous as more light bulbs with arcanic symbols were revealed but he couldn't react fast enough due to being weighed down as someone flipped down a switch as the lightbulbs glowed as Valatino looked down due to the blinding light as weird paper dolls danced around him laughing and giggling as Valatino felt his body boiling in pain until he stopped groaning and just sat there as it went dark for him…
Authors note: well that is bad for Valatino but it looks like Ozzie is gonna meet Lady Bella.
Next chapter Ozzie meets Bella as he tries to convince her to take Frizzaroli out of the war as Bella learns that Ozzie is the missing prince of Lust and is in love with Frizzaroli…
