Back To Present

"A-Alright..." Andrew said awkwardly and moved his hand away from them "But calm down now. You've been crying for hours- you guys will get sick."

Once Amy heard Andrew say that she frowned angrily "You are now being sarcastic to me are you not?" She wiped her tears quickly "I hate you so much!"

Andrew was about to say something but paused when he was hit with a realization 'Time was stopped inside the room!?' He thought.

Andrew did not notice that the sun was still up despite the fact he was inside the room for tens of hours. Although he did enjoy the sunlight earlier he was too happy to notice anything before.

"Y-Yeah..." Andrew answered Amy with an awkward smile "I am sorry for being sarcastic but I felt like that's the only thing that could make you stop crying."

Amy glared into his eyes for a second before looking away and saying "So... when I am getting executed?" Although her tone was full of attitude she was extremely scared as her legs were shaking uncontrollably.

Andrew took a deep breath and gave out a gentle and calming smile. He moved his hand towards Amy's head to give her a pat "You won't die. At least not on my watch."

"..."

"..."

"..."

There was a sudden silence once Andrew said that. The twins who were calm by then but still did not interfere with Amy's and Andrew's conversation looked at each other and tried to progress what they witnessed.

No matter how much one says that Andrew was a useless thrash and the worst king ever no one could deny one thing... that idiot has a face that could seduce both females and males.

Slowly Amy's face started to heat up and she looked away from Andrew's face as she gripped into her skirt. She was not sure how she should reply to what he said.

"Who are you to make me feel safe-" Amy said softly, still avoiding looking at Andrew.

A smug appeared on twin faces but soon it disappeared once they realized no matter how easy-going Andrew was he was still their king.

"A-amy!" Addy whispered to Amy's one ear and Addy whispered in the other "Do not forget the man standing in front of you is still a king! If you anger him he might give you punishment worse than death- if not him then Lord Victor surely will."

Amy flinched coming back to reality and remembering Andrew and her own social status "I apologize sire... I forgot my place." She said getting back to her usual self since Andrew said he would not kill her. She of course did not have a desire to die; it was just the moment of heat that made her act so brave and arrogant earlier.

"Don't worry about that." Andrew sighed lightly "Anyways could you tell me the directions of court? No, just take me there." He said the later part because he knew he would be lost again in the complex hallways "Also could you tell me what a king should act like?" He added.

"Sire!" Twins said together in one voice "We will have to go and report we have found you so- Amy will show you the way and talk to you." After Maddy said that they both bowed in front of Andrew and left.

Amy sighed looking at them going away. This was not the first time twins tried to set her up with someone by doing acts similar to these.

"Please give me the honor to guide the way, my king." Amy said bowing to Andrew like the twins and then started to walk along with Andrew "But I am not sure how I should tell you about the kings." She added.

"I mean like- How do they act? How do people treat kings? All the other things? I really don't know... just tell me whatever you know."

"Alright...?" Amy was confused at Andrew's rough explanation "I will try my best to satisfy you." She said professionally.

(A/N: Without a context, it sounds super sus-)

Amy cleared her throat and took a deep breath to calm herself down so he could explain to Andrew what he asked for:

"I am not sure about other kingdom's kings but according to my grandparents the previous kings, which means your ancestors, were people who everyone treated with most fear. Not respect but pure fear.

They are said to be a tyrant who only cares about themselves. Unlike you, they had a strong personality and the crime rate here was actually lower when they ruled.

Ministers, officials, and soldiers held less power back in time since all the power was in the king's hands and so ministers, officials, and soldiers could not experience the luxury current ministers, officials, and soldiers experience. Only a few of them could.

Where ever kings went in the kingdom everyone there left what they were doing and must stand and hail their name to show respect.

Everyone trembled in fear in front of them. Commoners because they could not fight against the king's army which might be small, but they still had weapons, and they did not. While ministers were scared of losing their title. If they had fought against the king, and he left, the kingdom would have become kingless. A kingless kingdom would have been taken by the holy church and so their position would have been taken away too."

Andrew listened to her carefully and did not interrupt her once while she was explaining but once she was done he said "Thank you. Now tell me should I act like them too? At least towards the ministers and court members?"

Amy nodded and kept walking forward not looking at Andrew's face "I suppose you should? If you were to have complete control over the kingdom like the previous king at least we would not have to suffer this much. I hope so at least. My king..."

"Very well then-" Andrew nodded as a smile appeared on his face "I shall take all the powers that belonged to me back again."

Hearing that Amy smiled softly and glanced at Andrew but as soon as she did she felt a cold shiver down her spine because of the way he was smiling... a demonic smile? That would be the best description for the smile Andrew had on his face at the moment.

"Anyways I don't wanna hear more about kings now. I have decided how I should act. Now tell me about ministers and court members. Tell me which are nice and which are completely corrupted."

Amy nodded at Andrew's words and told him about everything she knew about each minister and courtroom member.

Back to the courtroom.

---

Andrew put his leg on a footstool and then put his forearm on his thighs before leaning forward with a big grin on his face "Let the court begin!"

After the command from Andrew, everyone sat down on their respective thrones, and except for Victor everyone had the same thought 'Why the hell I hailed his name?' but Victor was smiling like a proud grandfather.

"Now~ let's ignore everything and discuss about the topic I wanna talk about~" Andrew said cheerfully but everyone could notice a pressure, a weight, in his voice that they could ignore or resist at all.

Victor got up from his seat and with a smile asked "What is the topic we will discuss today in your court, sire?"

Everyone except for Victor thought the "topic" Andrew desired to talk about would be something childish.

"The topic is leeches!" Andrew sat back normally before he just laid down on the throne.

"Le-leeches?" Victor asked confused, "What do you want to talk about on the topic of leeches exactly, sire?"

"Um... let's say leeches in human form! Do you know- how leeches suck blood from their host? There are also leeches in human form who suck money and power from the kingdom and king. Respectively!"

Andrew continued to act cheerful but nearly everyone present in the court understood what he was talking about.

Victor could not help but smile hearing that "Then what should we do, my lord? We cannot leave leeches alone right?"

"Yep~" Andrew in instant got up from the throne and sat arrogantly on the throne "We can't let the leeches be in our kingdom for so long~" Andrew let out a small giggle before completing his sentence "We will kill the leeches~"

"!?"

To be continued...
