"Good morning, Lady Kaela Orion!"
Huh?
It's Chancellor Thomas More.
. . . "What time is it?"
Ahh, my head hurts. I drank way too much last night.
"Today, I have been assigned to guide you and your group of adventurers."
"And King Asterium?"
"Your King is attending to important matters, but he left this letter for you."
A letter?
"Thank you!"
I'll read it later. . .
The last thing I remember from yesterday was everyone being drunk, and then I passed out.
Where are my friends? I saw them. . .
"Zzz. . . Kneel before me, for I am the most handsome Horse in the Kingdom of Asterium."
"Zzz. . . Burro, you have such a cute body."
Fuck, why are you guys sleeping on the King's throne?
What happened after I fell asleep yesterday?
"Zzz. . . I'm Lyra, the demon hunter. Open your mouth and eat it all, Prince."
"Lyra, give me back my clothes."
Did all of this happen while I was sleeping?
"I don't know why my king allowed you to stay in the castle. I've never seen people as unhinged as you."
"Wake up, you idiots!"
". . ."
"Good morning, Kaela."
"Good morning, Lyra."
"Good morning, everyone."
"Thump. . . Thump."
"Eduardo, sit here."
"Me? Why? Everything was already settled yesterday."
What's going to happen now? I just want to go to the guild.
"Lady Kaela Orion, your arrival in this city caused quite a commotion."
Another lecture? I can't take it anymore.
"The people of this city want your heads."
"What? Why? We didn't do anything wrong!"
Burro crossed his legs and began wagging his tail.
"This shameless animal still asks why? You forced Prince Eduardo to carry you. The King may have forgiven you, but I have not."
"Thank you, Thomas, for defending me."
Eduardo kissed Thomas's feet.
"And this girl, besides whipping the prince's back, frightened the guests."
"I frightened you? You're weak demons. You all ran away in desperation because I taught you how to bathe with pigs."
Ah, yesterday was worse than I thought. . .
"And. . ."
And?
"Guards!"
"Vra-a-a-ap!"
They opened the hall doors. The wind blew out the remaining candles.
The curtains flew through the air.
Huh?
"Don't put your hands on my woman."
Dorian?
"This scoundrel was sleeping in the King's bed with this mannequin."
Dorian, you didn't do this, you bastard.
"Is this how you thank King Asterium for forgiving you?"
I. . .
"I promise to punish my companion in the worst way possible."
"Kaela, Argamassa was tired from the journey."
Tired?
"Bwaaah!"
Why are you guys like this?
"This commoner slept in my father's bed?"
"Stop fighting!"
". . ."
"Lady Kaela, the King has requested that you and your group of adventurers teach proper behavior to Prince Eduardo when you set out on your adventures."
Proper behavior? Us teaching him?
Is this serious?
"Yes?"
What is going through the King's mind?
"Why does King Asterium want this?"
"In the King's own words, he said that he was impressed by your adventures."
Impressed? Please, don't say anything else.
"That's my King. Besides giving me the title of the noblest Horse in his kingdom, he admired our adventures."
He gave you a title? Hahaha.
"Your King? Since when are you two so close, pack animal?"
"Ouch!"
Thomas More stepped on Burro's tail.
"The King wants you to take care of the prince to make amends for the trouble you caused in the city."
Hmm. . . I don't know about this. It smells like shit.
"I, the most beloved prince in this city, will go adventuring with flat-footed people? What will my fans say?"
"You said fans?"
"Hey, Burro, get that face away from me."
"What do we have here? A lover of women."
"What?"
Poor Eduardo, at the mercy of Burro and Dorian.
"Kaela, let's go. I want to see if there's a barbershop in this city."
"I want to gain the power to create my demon-chicken army."
You guys are way too excited.
"Sir Thomas More, I accept the King's request, but I won't be responsible for collateral damage."
"Collateral damage? What's that?"
I don't have any other choice. . .
"Then let's go."
Now I'll have to tolerate another lunatic for a while.
"Sing my song."
". . ."
Who is the King's Horse?
"You!"
They shouted!
"Who is the King's friend?"
"You!"
They cheered!
"The greatest horse in this land is. . ."
"When did you guys change the lyrics without telling me?"
And so we walked through the castle, singing.
". . ."
"During your absence, Noble Horse."
"I was sleeping."
"Yeah!"
And so we walked through the castle, singing.
