Fairly Odd Story - The Foolish Prince

The former Knight-Commander slowly breaths in, trying to calm herself down before meeting the king for her congratulatory medal for not only defending against the rebel's attack, but as well as overtaking the rebel's base, single-handed. This achievement also earned her a position in one of the King's most respected knights corps, The 12 Guardsmen. It is 13 now, the knight said to herself. She exhales, straightens her stance and entered the castle.

 When she entered, she was greeted by a tall thin man wearing a classy suit. Probably the butler, she thought.

 "That is not that far of from the truth, Ms.Knight-Commander", said the man, "Oh, pardon me, Ms.Former Knight-Commander.". She knew her face was showing what she's thinking, but the knight thought that he was reading her mind, because the next thing he said was,

"I did not read you're mind, Madam Knight, your face is just easy to read". The man, Einriche, introduced himself as the steward to the king. "Unfortunately the King is away at the moment, attending the second prince's wedding." Einriche explains while they walked towards the throne room. "But His majesty's eldest son, Prince Orpheus, is present and filling in the king's role while King Odin is away".

As they approached the throne room, they heard the tender sounds of a lute being played. They look around and found that the sound came from the throne room. Einriche quickly enters the room to uncover who was playing the melody.

 "PRINCE ORPHEUS!" he shouted, "Please sit properly on the throne, it is rude to sit at such a ill-mannered way!".

 "Calm yourself, my good man. Father is away, so as such I am the current King of Talia and as King, I can do what ever I want", The prince grinned.

 "Your Highness, that kind of logic would not work anywhere in this kingdom. You know that better than everyone!".

"Nevertheless, you shouldn't keep our guest waiting" Einriche looked behind him and saw the knight standing there, witnessing the scuffle between the two. "This is the one who I've been hearing about?" Orpheus began, "The one knight who took defended and overtook an entire platoon of rebels and their base, single-handed?"

"Yes, your highness" Einrich confirmed.

Orpheus gazed at the knight, "She is quite easy on the eyes"

The knight flinched at Prince Orpheus' remark, but tries to keep her stance cool, "51st Division, Knight-Commander Eurydice Telos Le Royaume."

"Ah, you are from my brother's province. It is such a shame that I could not be at his wedding, the poor man could use his a big brother's blessings, but then again, that is what father is there for." Orpheus look at Einriche and signaled him to get him the medal. Einriche signaled an attendant to go fetch the it. She came back and handed over to Einriche, which in turn, graciously passes it to Orpheus. Orpheus got up and walked towards Eurydice, who is now kneeling down.

"Rise, Knight-Commander Eurydice Telos, and accept your medal" Eurydice stood up and accepted the medal. "Now that that is done, it is time for the initiation!", Orpheus continued. "Huh?" Orpheus quickly leaned his head towards Eurydice's. Eurydice was too late to react to Orpheus' move, which resulted with Orpheus' lips making contact with hers.

The knight instinctively pushed away and wipe her lips. "YOU FOOL! PERVERT!", she cursed.

"Ha! Fool, is it? Then a fool I am" Orpheus said joyously. "Let me officially introduce myself, I am the Leader of the 12..no..13 Guardsmen and the FOOLISH Prince, Orpheus Artemus Castor!" "Welcome to the corps, my dear Eurydice".
