"Good, good!" The rather round man exclaimed, "Tonight! At the feast you will have your pick of the servants to serve you in anyway you please during you stay. You are my guest and you shall have access to anything you desire. Once you have recovered from your travelling, then, then we shall talk business" He grinned at him before making his was back over to where he had been sat, returning to his seat.
"In the mean time however, young man, how may I help you?"

(Sorry it's so short >< )

Pick his own servants? This was going to be an interesting stay to say the least. When given the chance to talk he couldn't help himself. "I apologize in advance if I offend you with what I am about to say, but i think the feast should be given to the people that actually need the food more than I do." Micah started. "There are people out there, your people who are starving and only ask for food, gold, and some form of shelter. You are their king, your job is to make sure everyone here is safe and happy. Those people are not happy and are not safe. Just because they don't live right next to you does not mean you can just pretend that they don't exist." Micah said seriously.

(It's okay)

The king held his composer as he listened to the young prince's words before shaking his head gently.
"You dear boy, the only people who starve here are those who arebeign punished by the gods. It is not my place to interfer with their will, only be the tool to which it can be delivered. Those people are scoundrels, beggars and thieves. They are dangerous and you would do best to be more careful, you do not know what they are capable of. The feast will go on as planned! It has ll been arranged, no changing of plans now"
He smiled broadly, coming across as very friendly and understanding, he leaned back in his throne, gazing down at Micah.
"How about this, I shall send them all enough food so they have a warm meal this evening and plenty to drink. They will not be without"

(Doing some reading homework so replies might be slow)

Micah sighed, the king was right. They were thieves and of course he was going to be careful. It's why he brought his cloak with him. He didn't plan on walking around as a prince, he needed to blend in and not attract any attention. He wondered what his parents would say if they were here right now and saw how he had behaved, it seemed he had a lot to learn.

He wanted to say something but decided against it and only nodded. "Very well, thank-you." Micah smiled. At least they would have some food and drink tonight. Something was better than nothing and he was sure they would greatly appreciate it. Maybe his parents would agree with the king, probably not considering what his father was. The thought made him chuckle.

"Well then, I think I shall go to my room now and unpack. I know you are a busy man and do not wish to keep you from your duties." Micah said and bowed in respect. "Thank-you for hearing me out." he said and looked at his guard.

The king would continue to smile before calling over a young man, whispering to him before the man then approached Micah, "He will escort you to your room and once the feast is ready to begin he will also come to collect you. If you need anything in the mean time he can retrieve it for you"

The Guard would keeps his head lowered before moving aside to allow Micah and the boy to pass, following them away and out of the room down the network of corridors. The moment they had left the room, the king's smile dropped proving it to have been false as he watched darkly after the prince. "How dare he tell me how to run my kingdom. Oh they will get a good meal alright" A cruel smirk crossed his lips as he whispered to one of his guards who instantly set off with a wagon and some of the other guards and soldiers.

(That's ok ^^ )

Micah smiled and nodded, "Understood. Thank-you." he said politely and followed the boy out of the room. He was surprised that the king reacted the way he had. Micah was expecting him to lose it and order him killed or something along those lines. While they walked, Micah looked around, taking in every beautiful detail of this palace as he continued to fan himself. It wasn't warm inside, this was just a habit he had. He would sometimes fan himself inside his own room back at home even though it was always fresh over there.

(Thank-you for understanding)

The guard would pay careful attention to everything around them as he followed the two younger males. There was something off and he didn't like it, not that he voiced his opinion, it was best he just waited and watched for now, he had to be on full alert to protect him prince.
The boy would open the door to a large spacious room with an ajoining bedroom and bathroom attatched to the main room. He bowed deeply as he helped it open to allow Micah entrance, not having uttered a word the whole time or even met either of their gazes. The guard watched silently.

(No need for thanks, college must come first ^^ )

Micah looked at the large room in awe. He walked inside and approached the bed, gently running his fingers along the blanket's soft fabric. "This is beautiful!" he gasped and smiled softly. What concerned him now was why this boy was not saying a single word or looking at either of them, was he afraid of him? Or was the boy afraid of someone else? Micah turned his attention to the boy and even though he wanted to ask him what was wrong, he knew he couldn't. "Thank-you for showing us to the room, I love it very much." he said to the boy and glanced at his guard, he noticed something was wrong and looked back at the boy. "You may retreat now." he said politely.

The boy would nod his head gently and quickly scurried away. It wasn't until after the servant boy had left that the guard entered the room, shutting the door behind him. He quickly set about doing a full sweep of the room which had been set up for Micah before finally meeting the prince's gaze.
"There is something not quite right here, your highness, if it is not too bold of me to say. But I think it may be wise to play along alittle in order to gain some information. I know you wish to help these people, I can see if your your eyes, just as with your mother, just like your words remind me of your father but to not play along could mean you don't gain all the information you need. It would be wise observe, to be cautious. I will do my best to keep you safe."

(Sorry for the delay, it didn't tell me you had answered when I checked >< )

Micah looked at his guard and nodded. "You think so too?" he asked and crossed his arms across his chest. His guard had a very good point, "You're right. I apologize for behaving the way I did, I should have known better. I guess I still have a lot to learn." Micah said softly and smiled. "Thank-you, I will do my best to observe and stay cautious." he said and looked at his things as he started to unpack quietly. "We will have to go into town and buy some writing supplies later." Micah commented.

"I will make sure you have them for in the morning, the market shall be closing soon as we have arrived quite late, your highness. I am sorry if I have spoken out of turn over these matters. The king seems to hold himself highly and likes things to go hid way. To go against that way could create trouble, however if we watch and learn his way, we can use that toour advantage to obtain the treat the way you wish and in the manner you wish. It will give you an advantage. It is a battle tactic but it can be used in a simular manner here"
The guard helped Micah to unpack as he remained on guard, looking out for any signs that something may be amiss.

Micah was slightly disappointed that he wouldn't be able to write his parents today but he understood. "I understand." he said softly. "Spoken out of turn? Nonsense! You are right, I should play along with this king's games. If I want to get anything out of this journey I must not get on his bad side." Micah commented with a nod of his head. His long dark black hair falling over his shoulder. The whole reason for this trip was to get the treaty that would put both kingdoms at peace with one another and it would also authorize the concept of trading. This kingdom had things that they didn't and vice versa, so trading seemed like a good idea. Although with all the thieves, perhaps it wasn't such a smart idea after all.

The guard would smjile, easing alittle, glad it hadn't been seen as speaking out of turn. He would set about putting away the last few things of Micah's.
"Your highness, tonight may be a very good oppertunity to get closer to the King while his guard is down. I have heard he is very fond of the drink as well as of women. He has a large number of wives and a large number of concubines, maybe you can use that in some way? I can speak with my friend and his family, they may know more and be able to assist you in your goal to make this kingdom a better place. However, before that, would you require a bath before the feast?If has been a very long journey"

"Drink and women." Micah repeated and smirked. "Yes, that information does come in handy. Thank-you, I will be sure to keep that in mind during the feast." he said and once everything was unpacked, he closed the suitcase and slipped it under the bed. Micah knew he had to get closer to the king if he wanted this trip to go his way, which he obviously did. So the king enjoyed a good drink, Micah was probably going to have to enjoy a few drinks with the king and hope the king got drunk before he did. Micah wasn't a crazy drinker considering his age but sometimes he and his father would share a drink or two although they didn't make it a daily habit. He snapped out of his thoughts hearing his guard and nodded, "Please do. I could really use all the information you can gather and yes, a bath sounds nice right now." Micah answered.

With a swift, simple nod, he made his way to the bathroom and began to run a bath for Micah, setting it up ready for him to be able to take his time to get ready and have everything he needed or required to get ready. In his mind he set about working out what he himself was going to be wearing in order to not bring down his prince. He had to look the part if he was to protect his prince properly. When it was ready he would return and smiled kindly, "It is ready your highness. I will wait here should you need anything just shout."

Micah took this time to look through his clothes and picked out some light colored ones. No use wearing dark clothes in this kingdom. Although they weren't planning on going outside today since it was going to be getting late soon anyway, but still. He had already picked his clothes and he wasn't going to change his mind. Hearing his guard call to him, Micah smiled and nodded. "Ah, thank-you very much. I promise not to take long." Micah promised and grabbed his change of clothes. Normally he would just change in his room but seeing as how he wasn't alone in this room, he thought it would be best for him to change in the bathroom. Walking into the bathroom, Micah closed the door behind him and set the clothes down on a counter before undressing and stepping into the bath. It was perfect, warm water a little on the hot side just the way he liked it. "Ahhh..." he sighed softly and proceeded to bathe.

While Micah was cleaning up and relaxing in the bath, the guard finally placed down the small bag he had been carrying on his shoulder the whole time, taking this time to quickly change into some clean more formal clothing, having brought some just in case. He then proceeded to run a bowl of water in the sink in the small kitchenette area and cleaned his face and had a quick shave before brushing and retying his hair so he was presentable enough to be seen with the prince of his home land. Once finished he cleaned everything away and put everything back into his bag that he no longer required before placing it neatly by the door, sitting now on the floor cleaning and polishing his sword while he waited.

Micah having promised not to take long, hurried up with his bath and started to drain the water then stepped out and grabbed the towel to dry off. The feast, he had a feeling that it was going to be interesting to say the least. Make sure you behave. he told himself in his head. Micah got dressed and walked out of the bathroom, his long damp hair fell all around his face like a messed up curtain.

The guard would look up, smiling at the sight for the soggy curtain around Micah's face and picked up a brush from the side, offering it to him.
"Here you are, your highness. Oh, there is also a gift from your mother in my satchel which I am to give to you before we go to the feast"
He would continue to smile kindly at him, finishing cleaning his sword before sheathing it lovingly into it's scabbard at his hip once he had returned to his feet.

Micah smiled and took the brush he was handed. His fingers gently parted his hair through the middle to make brushing it easier. His amber colored eyes looked at his reflection through the mirror while listening to his guard speak. His mother left him a gift? What could it be? He already had his dagger so that couldn't be it and he didn't think it was gold either. It had to be something important maybe?

"A gift from my mother?" He repeated and stopped brushing his hair for that brief moment where he contemplated what the gift could be. Micah shook his head to clear out any guesses he had made and resumed brushing his hair, it was always tough to bush his long hair but in the end his hair was very soft. "All done." he said to himself and smiled at his reflection after setting down the brush.

The guard in this time made his way over to his bag once more, crouching down long enough to rummage through it until he found what he needed. With the small parcel clasped firmly in his hand, he straightened up and approached the prince. He would study him for a moment before holding it out towards him. Inside the thin fabric wrappings of the gift from his mother were a couple of small things. One was the pendant which Rose always wore, she had been given it by her mother when she was younger and now she was passing it on to him. Another item was a beautiful, delicate hair tie which she had had specially crafted just for him as a good luck gift on his first time away from the kingdom alone and finally was a ring which had once belonged to her father which she now felt should belong to him.
The guard watched silently, waitng until Micah was ready to attend the feast.

Micah stared at the small parcel held out to him and he hesitated at first but eventually he accepted the gift and carefully opened it up, pulling out each delicate item. They were interesting gifts, especially the hair tie but strangely he liked it. His mother spoiled him too much sometimes but he appreciated the gifts he received even though he didn't really deserve gifts. He wondered why his mother wanted him to have these gifts, he'd have to ask her tomorrow in his letter, and he'd have to thank her of course. Micah put the pendant on as well as the ring and even used the hair tie to do just that, tie his hair up and keep it out of his face. "We should go, we don't want to keep the king waiting." Micah said quietly.

The guard would give a gentle nod and lead the way out of the door to find the servant boy outside the room waiting for them, the guard was unsure how long he had been waiting for them to be ready to gude then to their location as the boy never knocked on the door to alert them of hid presence. Looking over the boy carefully he then proceeded to following him to the great hall , keeping closer to Micah the whole way. When they arrived at the hall, the feast had already ready begun, though clearly not very long ago. There were nobles conversing and drinking together with servants serving with the best of their capability. In the center was clearly the entertainment for the evening, a few barely dressed girls, dancing.

Micah followed his guard out of the house and was surprised to see the boy from before right there outside their door. How long had he been there? Was he listening to what they had said? Micah was going to have to be careful what he said while his stay here. He was sure that this boy probably would tell the king anything he heard right? Micah followed the boy to the hall where the feast was to be held. When they arrived he noticed the feast had already started and he noticed all of the people who were there. When he saw the girls with hardly any clothes on, Micah quickly averted his gaze. They made him very uncomfortable, he hoped none of them approached him.

The guard moved so that he was behind the prince, deciding it best to shadow him every step he made. The boy seemed to disappear into the crowd once they arrived only for soon the king to be striding his way towards them. "Prince Micah!" He opened his arms wide in a very opening gesture, "Welcome! I hope you enjoy yourself this evening! You may have your pick of ny of the girls here. I've got my eye on a few of the new ones myself"
He grinned broadly at this, placing his arm around the young prince and steering him towards the dancing girls, pointing to the one in the middle. Her face was hidden behind an ornate feathered mask,her pale blondish brown hair pinned tightly to her head. She wore loose white clothing and yet was adoned in many different jewels, the layers to her skirt which added some colour to her skirt were clearly rich materials from their intracy.
"Our little desert jewel, freshly caught earlier this morning"
