The conceited princess

I don't believe in deja vu, because sometimes it makes you believe that a series of events that have already happened will catch you or have already happened to me. So was this King of Tirinia, Naofuda Marinett dialogue with his lovely clown, that is, with me. Did he explain something strange about the princess and the staff members, why am I telling you these things?

I don't want to brag, as I have the best sense of humor and skill at card tricks in the kingdom, so I was asked to do it is a noble task that only I can do. A bright beam of light in the corner of my eye, which comes from the window, a little enchanted, so much so that its light goes out without blinking, and then comes back immediately, let's wait, it's more like a hand. It's the good butler, Walter, that keeps me here.

Walter: - Rito...RITOOO, you're not paying attention again, you're already distracted on your first day, so why did I introduce you to the king, hah?

Rito: - I know, but I still can't believe that I was in the castle, it's so unusual for me, compared to my old home...

Walter: - Let's leave it, go get ready for the ball, let's wait, you haven't forgotten, have you? I very much hope not, that was the king's first thing to communicate to you.

Rito: - Yes, but let's be a little more precise about what kind of ball it would be...

Walter: - Oh, I can't believe you, the king's daughter, Marinett Aika, will arrive today.

Rito: - Ah, something is looming, I'm going to get ready so that Miss Princess doesn't see a good card game or a sophisticated joke.

Walter: - Of course...

I'll go and look around a bit if I have so much time left until the evening. The sky is a beautiful clear blue, and the fresh flowers in the garden are in fabulous colors, ah, this feeling is so soothing. Even the blue sky in the morning sparkles, but it's not even evening yet, so what?

"Something fell from the sky"

Rito: - That's a fucking sword, wait, what's a sword doing here? I barely managed to bend over for it.

"Someone's Coming"

Unknown person: - Hey, you okay? Sorry, I overdid my sword training outside even more than usual.

Rito: - Almost by accident, you stretched out an unfortunate court jester, so this is what happens here every day?

Unknown person: - Well, we can say that this time it was my fault, wait, what did you say? Court clown? How old are you?

Rito: - I'm only 16 not long ago, but I handle the cards the best and my jokes simply make everyone laugh.

Unknown person: - You're telling? Then tell a joke, you court jester.

Rito: - I don't even know who you are and this is how you should treat a benefactor.

Arata: - Really, I haven't even introduced myself yet, I'm Marinett Arata, the future heir to the throne.

Rito: - So a joke? Let me see what I can do for you, sir.

"I'll take out a deck of cards"

Rito: - I can only give this sheet to someone who can tell a joke better than me.

"I'll give the card to the prince"

Arata: - HAHA, what else could I expect from a child?

Rito: - Well, my prince, I didn't give you the card.

"Prince looks at something in his hand"

Arata: - HAHAHAHA, I haven't heard your name yet, tell me, not many people can bluff an heir to the throne like that at such a young age.

Rito: - Rito Batou.

Arata: - Rito, Tirinia's court jester, I noted this...

I went back to my designated abode, it was roomy enough for a clown.

"I Whispered"

Rito: - You can come out now Abigail.

Abigail: - You know, Rito, that I was talking to you the whole time, but you didn't even notice... how could you make up for it?

I went over and stroked her head, I always treat her as if she were my sister, even though we are the same age.

Abigail: - It's not worth it, you know how much I like it when you caress me, why don't you call me out more often? There isn't even a Soul Holder in the castle either.

Rito: - I know Abigail, I just want you to be safe, even if no one can harm you.

Abigail blushed a little because Rito told her how much he wanted to protect her from anything, but inside she knew that it was only because they were childhood friends.

Abigail: - Thank you Rito, but I know how to defend myself on my own, indeed, I can't wield myself as a sword like you, but still, so don't worry about me all the time... stupid.

Ah, shit, that's all the time, I have to get ready fast, or Walter will take my head off.

Rito: - Abigail, go back now and don't come out until the ball is over.

Abigail: - I don't want to go back yet, can't I go with you?

Rito: - I can't let that happen, they would immediately suspect who I am, you know what, when the ball is over, the two of us will go see the fair.

Abigail: - But then you'll take me, I'll take that as a promise... Rito.

Even before the princess showed up, already in the waiting room, busy with card stuff. I'm going out for a bit of air, I'll see Walter.

"I'm going to him"

Rito: - Walter, we didn't agree on what these ridiculous outfits are, but even if it was just what this weird make-up is on me.

Walter: - You wanted to be a court clown so much, it's the custom here, I'll clarify, everywhere, funny clothes and makeup come with being a royal clown...get used to it.

Rito: - But you could have told me, there could have been another solution, whatever, that's why you come to me with one.

"We went back to the castle"

This unpleasant atmosphere, which fills the entire room, is already a bit worrying, is the princess so dignified and classy, ​​refined? But rather the sight of the shining stars outside completely enchanted me and I only realize that the princess is standing right in front of my nose.

Rito: - Good evening, dear princess.

"Princess looked up mockingly"

Unknown princess - PFF.

The court announcer interrupted this uncomfortable silence.

- I would like to introduce you, to Miss Marinett Princess Aika.

As if nothing had happened, I continued to play my cards and crack a few jokes at the noble chap. Then, unexpectedly, an unknown figure, who was also a noble prince of another kingdom, Perenis, steps in. Adakama Unakizuma.

"Unexpectedly He Goes to the Princess"

Adakama: - May I kiss your graceful hands?

Aika: - Only if you don't feel sorry for your head, which ends at your neck.

I knew that the two kingdoms don't get along well, but how so... The young prince's hand is pointed at the princess, and before it has escalated into action, the court clown jumps up.

Rito: - Would you like to see a game of cards, my prince?

A little confused, the prince accepts the offer, and the princess looks relieved.

Adakama: - So you say you want to show me a card game, you little nobody, you already have it, why don't you show your princess your art of knife throwing, if you are already so polite with your superiors?

Rito: - With knives? I've never thrown a knife before, but I can try if that's what you want.

I started throwing 6 knives, but just as I thought I would be able to play this amazingly, just like with my cards, the exact opposite happened. The golden spoon on the ground, which I accidentally knocked down during my jump, caused the perfection of this wonderful stunt of mine. The beautiful splashing wine that I generated with my fall fell on the princess, spilling that wine on her elegant and expensive dress...

Aika: - You court jester, unlucky, from the lower class, you are no good as a servant, not to make others laugh.

I just stood there in silence and suffered that this was the end of the seemingly too-beautiful story.

"I thought to myself"

Rito: - Even though she is an elegant, sophisticated, and dignified princess, I have never seen a more conceited woman in my life...
