"Who are these people you bring to the throneroom?"The king thundered,"And covered in blood!Ruining my floor!"
"They're friends of mine dad,he saved me from attackers dad,"Elizabeth pointed at Rin.
"Hmp!What of the girl huh?!And why did you even leave the castle?You know leaving the castle without permission is forbidden!"
"Yes,dad,I know."
"Who's the girl?"
"She's a friend of ours,"Rin answered.
"Did I ask you to speak peasant?You only speak when you're spoken to!"
'What's with people around here?'
"Okay."
"Your honour!That girl there is a fairy!"a guard burst into the throne room pointing at Alina.
"Who allowed a fairy inside here?!Seize her!"The king roared.
"Why?"Rin asked in a tone no one else would dare to speak to a royal with,let alone the king.
The whole room was silent for a complete minute.The guards stared at each other and Elizabeth and Alina stared blankly at Rin.The king on the other hand was fuming.He glared at Rin and veins began to show on his head.
"I will have your tongue for that!"one of the guards broke the silence as he unsheathed his sword.
"Stand down!I guess he did save my daughter, he may be pardoned this once,perhaps it was the simple slip of the tongue. "
"As you wish sire,"the guard returned his sword into its sheath and stepped back.
"What of the fairy sir?"
"She is to remain unbothered!"Rin thundered.
"I pardoned you for merely saving the princess you peasant!Don't you dare attempt to give orders!Only I give orders around here!"The king thundered back.
'If this goes on any longer I'll have to take out a king and a few guards.This may or may not lead to me killing thousands of knights that will come after me.This should take one day at least.Though if I do this,I can't form my harem in peace and won't enjoy myself as intended.It will just be an endless fight.Nothing different from the life I'm trying to leave behind, urgh!Guess I'll have to act as the grown up here then.'
"I understand, king,"Rin spoke with a forced smile on his face,"It's just,if it wasn't for the fairy here,I wouldn't have managed to save your daughter here.It was more of a team thing."
"Is this true?Elizabeth?"
Elizabeth contemplated whether to lie or tell the truth while staring at the two.Rin turned his head and stared at Elizabeth with glowing eyes and there was only one right answer.
"Yes,dad.I also ask that the fairy not be treated harshly."
"Hmm,fine!Go get cleaned up then!And show the fairy where to get cleaned up as well,we'll have a proper chat at dinner.But you,young man,remain.I have something to talk to you about in private."
Elizabeth and Alina left the throne room and so did the guards leaving Rin and the king to talk in private as the king wished.
"Get closer young man."
Rin walked closer to the king.The king as well stood from his throne and walked towards Rin with his arms behind his back.
"You might have saved my daughter but don't get cocky young man.This is not the first time someone has rescued her,but it is the first someone gets so cocky for doing something that's actually your duty as a resident of my kingdom."
Rin stared at him with rather lifeless eyes but did not bother to utter a word.
"And as you should know!Bringing a dirty fairy into my throne room is a crime punishable by banishment.I do not care if you save my daughter or not!This is your one and only warning. Get that fairy in control or I'll ensure it's dealt with!
Oh,and you're invited for dinner tonight with the royal family as an act of gratitude for saving the princess.Purpose to attend.And have proper manners child!Or else!"with those words the king called in the guards to show Rin out as he walked away.
"Good chat,"Rin told the king in a sarcastic tone while walking away.
......................
"Who is that?And why is she with the princess?"maids of the castle mumbled among themselves pointing at Alina."Who does she think she is?"
Elizabeth ordered them to get Alina cleaned up and dressed appropriately. They did as commanded even though they did not like it but what else would they do?She's the princess and they're maids.
They got Alina cleaned up and got her properly dressed up in one of the princess's gownsfit for dinner and showed her to the dining room just in time.Everyone had already settled by the time she arrived.Except for Rin of course.She took a bow before them all and silently took a seat to one of the chairs.
.................
The sun was just setting and Rin finally arrived to the castle.He was met by several armed guards who quickly showed him to the dining room where everyone else was;the king,the queen,the five princesses and the three princes.
"Hey everyone, sorry for being late,but I'm here now,so let's do this,"Rin spoke as he walked into the dining room leaving the guards at the entrance.
"You really think you can eat with us dressed like that?Ha!Get serious!"one of the princessses laughed.
"Oh,uh,okay then,I understand, "Rin snapped his fingers and he was instantly in a white and gold attire that left everyone perplexed.
"A magic user,great!"The king rolled his eyes.
Rin took a seat next to Elizabeth."So,I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Rin,Rin Ryuga.Its only right to tell me your names now don't you think?"
