Kotorichan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Meu quickly walked through the ornate halls of the palace, he had been called away from his usual duties to plan for security of a large royal event. But being away from the prince always made him nervous. He hurried to the prince's room and knocked lightly before opening the door. "My lord..?"

Key-Tokki Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Ashton sat back in his wooden chair and let out a long yawn as he stretched up, he was rather annoyed by all of this. His parents felt that he was old enough to be looking for a princess as this point, though every time it was brought up he always rejected any idea of it. He had no intentions of marrying some soiled brat of a girl that had no place standing beside him, ruling his people. He loved his people with all his heart and wasn't going to trust them with someone he had only just met. So his parents, in retaliation, had decided to throw a large ball, and invite many neighboring kingdoms that were said to have good looking princesses. They hopped that perhaps there son would meet a girl, someone he thought suitable, and soon enough they could have grandchildren running around the palace. Ashton of course, had no intentions of going along with this so was sabotaging it all the way. When he heard the knock on his door, he sat up and lazily leaned his head on his hand as he spoke. "Please, come in Meu. I would like to discuss the upcoming ball with you." He waited for the other to enter, while brushing aside the useless trinkets that were strewn about his desk.

Kotorichan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Meu stepped in and closed the door behind himself. He bowed deeply, his face remained neutral even though he was extremely relieved that nothing had happened while he was gone. He kept his head down respectfully as he spoke. "What did you wish to discuss my lord?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key-Tokki Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Ashton pushed himself up from where he sat and made his way around his desk, once he was in front of it, he leaned back against it, put one leg over his other and crossed his arms as he watched his guard bow as he always did. To which he simply rolled his eyes and shook his hand as if to wave away the gesture which he found needless and time consuming. " I want to disguss the ball, actually. You are in charge of it's security right? Well I would like you to leave a hole in security, so that we can sneak out, and do something actually enjoyable." As he spoke he gave Meu a look so that the other knew he was being serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Meu looked up with a concerned frown. “My lord, that would be extremely dangerous… If something were to happen to you I would be the only one who would know where you were. Please forgive my forwardness, but isn't this ball for your benefit in the first place? I would hope that you could find some enjoyment in the event itself..." He stood perfectly still as he spoke, almost like a statue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key-Tokki Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Ashton frowned at the other and sighed to himself, he put his hands on his head to run his hand through his hair before slowly making his way over to his bed and flopping back onto it so he could whine childishly into the mattress. "They want to marry be off to some spoiled rich girl with no morals or class, does that seem fair to you, Meu? Do you not think that I deserve a chance at love? I love my people, and it would make me unfit if I were to preach to them about being happy if I myself am not so, wouldn't it?" He sat up and looked over at the other through pleading eyes, "Meu, I do not ask much of you, so please. Can you do this one thing for me? You and I could go to something, this way you are sure I am safe." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Meu sighed softly and bowed again. " I understand my lord... I'll make sure you can leave the ball, atleast for awhile..." he met Ashton's gaze, his red eyes full of concern. "Would that please you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key-Tokki Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Ashtons shoulders visibly relaxed a lot from hearing the others confirmation. He slid back off of his bed before making his way over to Meu and wrapping his arms around the guard and hugging him tightly. "It pleases me very much, thank you! I owe you big time." He went back over to his desk and poured a bit of whine into one of the extra cups and held it out for the other. "Celebratory drink?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Meu smiled slightly at the prince and shook his head. "Thank you, but I can't drink while I'm on duty." He checked the time on a small pocket watch. "I believe that you were needed in about thirty minutes for the final fittings of your suit for the ball..." He commented.

Key-Tokki Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ashton leaned back and nodded as he sat down the cup of whine before walking over to his bed and pulling out the simple shoes that lay under them. Sitting on the edge of his bed he slipped them on his feet before standing back up, tapping his feet to make sure they fit correctly and making his way to the door. He opened it and motioned for the other, "Shall we get going then?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Meu bowed again "after you my lord." His voice was calm and collected as usual. "The tailors are currently staying in the the west wing on the second floor." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key-Tokki Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ashton nodded as he stepped out and immediatly three of the maids surrounded him, he had been evading everyone today, he was in no mood to deal with any of it. So the moment he did everyone pounced, the first one held up two different vases and spoke, "Which you would like for the ball as center pieces for the tables?" He waved them all away before the other two could ask and continued walking, clearly annoyed. The maids looked a bit hurt, which was not his intention but he had no intentions of playing part in the farce that was to be this ball. Ashton managed to weave his way around people so he wasn't spotted by most thankfully, until they arrived at the west wing, once there he stepped inside and began to pull out the clothing that was laid out for him. The tailer simply grumbled when he saw that the prince had lost a good three inches from his waste in two weeks so the outfit would need to be taken in yet again. "My Prince, you really should eat more. A proper diet, perhaps?" He suggested while taking all the measurements again, to which Ashton simply groaned in annoyance.

Kotorichan Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Meu followed quickly behind Ashton, his eyes never leaving the prince's back. He completely ignored everyone else that they passed. When they got to the west wing he stood to the side to give Ashton space. But he heard the tailor's comment Meu was unable to hide his worry. He waited until the tailor had gone to his desk to record the measurements before stepping up to the prince. "My lord, have you been feeling unwell?" He asked with a frown. "I don't think it is healthy for you to be losing so much weight..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key-Tokki Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ashton knew that Meu would likely have something to say about the weight loss, which was the main reason that he groaned when the other said it allowed. Once the measurements were recorded the prince pulls back on his normal clothes before raking a hand through his hair to brush it out of his face before nodding. "I have been rather busy lately, so when the maids bring me food it tends to be forgotten in the heat of the moment, it's amazing I haven't keeled over yet." He joked but sombered when he saw the unhappy look on his guards face. He brought up a hand and waved it dismissivly, "It really is no big deal Meu, when the maids bring me up my dinner tonight I will make sure to eat it. Mother and father are leaving for town soon and will be eating out, so we will not be having a family dinner either." Though he said that, they had not had a family dinner in a long while. He and his father had gotten into an argument a month or so ago, non of the staff new exactly what had happened but it had noticeably a stranged the two family members.

Kotorichan Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 "Yes my lord..." Meu's voice was quiet and sounded uncertain. He bowed his head respectfully, but look of concern didn't change despite Ashton's reassurance. Meu had been becoming more and more worried about the prince's health over the past weeks, but he knew it wasn't his place to do anything about it. He just had to hope that things would work out.

Key-Tokki Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ashton smiled and nodded as his body guard, he was never one for ordering others around, even though he was a prince he never fit the common arogant, spoiled roll that many just assumed he would. He often would allow his servants to eat the food he didn't want and considering he rarely ate, his main running boy had become rather fat because of it. He reached up and rubbed his head as he felt a head ache begin to ebb it's way into his concious. "Let's return to my room, you can review the security plans while I rest, I am not feeling well." As he spoke he began the annoyingly long walk back to his room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 "Yes my lord," Meu followed behind Ashton. After a few minutes he faintly heard a commotion ahead. His pace quickened so he was walking next to the prince. He didn't say anything but was clearly more alert of their surroundings, his hand rested on the hilt of a danger hidden beneath his cloak and he watched every door and hall they passed.

Key-Tokki Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ashton was to involved in his own mind to sense any of the commotion, clearing his throat he stretched out as they walked. The moment they rounded the corner though, he came face to face with a hooded figure. His eyes widened in surprise as the figure lashed out at him, it was someone trying to rob the palace, he held a bag of the fine silver from the kitchen. Ashton stumbled back, just missing it as a dagger lashed out at him as he cried out, "Meu!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Meu stepped in front of Ashton, he let the dagger bury itself in his exposed forearm. His face showed no reaction to the pain he felt. He quickly pulled his own dagger out and swung forward, slicing the robber across the face. As the hooded man cried out in pain Meu kicked his legs out from under him.

Key-Tokki Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ashton fell back in surprise and kicked himself back a few feet, he was not a coward but unlike Meu who seemed like nothing phased him, he did get scared. "Meu!" He cried out as he watched blood drip from the others arm, standing up he watched as five other guards rushed the writhing, screaming man, however he was no longer watching them. With a soft curse he grabbed a hold of the others arm and began dragging him back to his room. Once they got inside he slammed the door shut and walking over to his cabnet, and pulled down a medical kit he had in a woven basket. "Sit on the bed." He spoke, his voice less of a question and more of a demand now. "You could have easily evaded that, you have to take better care of yourself, or you will get yourself killed some day."

Kotorichan Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Meu stayed standing, he covered his injured arm with his cloak. "I am fine my lord, if I had evaded it then you might have been injured" he watched the prince with a frown"please don't worry about me, I can bandage this myself..."

Key-Tokki Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ashton simply rolled his eyes in annoyance, he sat the basket down on the bed then slightly forcefully pushed Meu back so he was also sit on the edge of the bed. He pulled out some disinfectant first then after a moment sprayed is on a rag before rubbing it on the injured area, he quickly bandaged it before flopping back onto his bed and rubbing his forehead. "Can you go to the kitchen and get me some tea? I am not feeling well." HE reiterated before climbing back up to put the medicine back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Meu winced as his wound was treated. He stood up as soon as Ashton had finished and bowed. "Yes my lord" he left the room to go to the kitchen. He came back a few minutes later carrying a tray with tea and small pastries. He knocked on the door lightly. "My lord, may I enter?"

Key-Tokki Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ashton waited for the other to leave before slipping into a more comfortable outfit, then climbing into bed he blew out a candle, even though it was only the afternoon he found himself rather tired and had no intentions of continuing his ball sabotaging today. A maid came in a few moments later to find the prince asleep, to which she nodded slightly and went about gathering his laundry silently, when she heard the knock at the door she nearly squaked, as she hurried over ans swung the door open. Bringing her finger to her lips she shushed him harshly before whispering. "The prince is asleep, please keep your voice down!" Though she spoke she lost her place, a common maid speaking so harshly to the princes personal guard was treason, once she remembered she quickly picked up her basket and hurried off to do the laundry.
